Shakotom Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Looks like Ive got something else to learn about now.... Just picked this up this afternoon Its a 1986 Suzuki FA50 In PURPLE. DRANK. I know bugger all about scooters or two stroke stuff really, but have bought it mainly for commuting to work on. But after reading all the scooter gang threads on here, I donned my denim vest I purchased a while ago and spent this afternoon terrorizing my 'hood Its pretty sweet and runs well. missing a couple of lenses, and needs indicators, brake light and horn hooked up. Just want to get some new tires as the fronts a bit perished. Whitewalls? 5 Quote

Guypie Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 You took the basket off the front? How are you supposed to take your teddybear places now? Hahaha 2 Quote
Ghostchips Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 My whitewalls come in a can, applied with a brush. On youtube some guy made whitewalls smoother with a flapdisk on a grinder before painting but i don't really like the idea of thinning my sidewalls. Quote
Threeonthetree Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Ah also have to sort speedo Works sweet up to like 20kmh then all of a sudden spins off the clock Sounds like you doing rolling skids with all that powah puhuhuhuhu. I sold my 4 stroke bike today so can now work on my 2 stroke ringading. Keen for a cruise etc. Also this thing is lush. Feel free to terrorise my culdesac too. It could do with a bit of that. Locals getting too complacent etc. 1 Quote
