Its like this:

Scooters are the cheapest most basic means of transportation, they get you from a to b.

Make your decision based on that, not what some yobbo f**king trucky thinks of you driving one. Who gives a shit, little does he know what you have lurking at home in the garage :D

Just buy an old 250cc 4-stroke trail bike, throw some decent road-trail rubber on them, paint it matt-black with $7 spraypaint and they go anywhere (like speedhumps, kerbs, medium strips, nature strips, footpaths... hehe!) dont cost very much and no one steals the f**king things because theyre ugly, noisy and look like theyre owned by someone who will rip your cock off and kill your pets.

It doesnt matter who's riding a scooter in Australia, you could be Clint Eastwood with a 44magnum, a keg of beer strapped to each side and a highway patrol officer being dragged by a length of chain behind it and youre still going too be a rampaging arse bandit in the eyes of pretty much everyone.

Yeah, you must mean those little silver scooters the kids ride on to skool eh ? One leg a pumpin and a look of grim death as they grip those handlebars.

But the real tough punk bad ass kids ride skate boards, spray graffiti on public buildings, vandalise bus stops (and probably key Skylines).

Rezzeh, thank god you saw this thread... well the reason I posted this thread was because so far I hadn't met ANYONE in australia who had even heard of this stuff. Like no one's even mentioned it as a passing joke. Eeeeevery monkey's heard of customised choppers, but no one's ever heard of customised japanese cruisers. And its not like guys here don't have access to the base models to start modding them either... they're in almost every motorbike dealership at the back because no one wants em.

Seriously scooter is a bad name for these bikes, they're like cruisers. Hell even BMW and Buell are starting to release copies of these japanese big scooters.

Dude I've been looking at these too, Have a look at the Honda Forza.

This shop has some way cool customs, I put a couple of pics on a ZT thread about these. :D

No the local market isn't ready, and has no idea anyway but that makes it more awesome haha

There is a big aftermarket for them. I wouldn't expect people on here to get it, but if you like them, do it. pimp it out and have fun.

yeah i posted up on ZT as well when this came up. is the forza available in oz tho? some of the more modern ones like the suzuki skywave aren't available...

You look liek a f**kign dickhead no matter what, but if your not a faggy little prissy metro gaylord, and you dont give a shit what ppl think, they are great.

thats what full face helmets are for :P

Yep you can actually buy them new from Honda. Pretty pricey though..

The first thing to go would be the windshield.

Oh god... they look hideous in factory form. I'm leaning towards a majesty because I'm used to the yamaha 250cc 4 strokers having owned an SR250 a few years ago.

thats what full face helmets are for :P

lol hide your shame with a shoei.

although been lookin at the Reevu helmets... how cool are these things... with inbuilt rear view mirrors.

thats pretty crazy, but itd probs cost u ur left nut.

well apparently if I own a scooter I won't have any of those to spare :P

I was looking at a scooter at one stage, mainly due to the petrol prices.....and once I learnt that hte oil reserves were dropping at a quick rate - i decided to f**k it and get the skyline :O

I think if its what u want then go for it!

Eventually a lot of people will start buying these once petrol prices go up to $2 a litre - i see a few people in the city riding them now

Im half tempted to get my bike licence and get a bike myself

    • To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...
    • Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block. 
    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol
