Phew! Lucky for us did not need any tow rope or recovery services. My Kymco Super 8 125cc managed to go up and down with 2 persons and luggage. Gotta thank Bro Scarab and his group for their patience (had to stop at every R & R/petrol station cos of my tiny tank-5 litres can go about 120km max.). Well, I guess this will be the 1st and last time I riding this scooter up, cos although it is possible to ride to very faraway places on it, it is not comfortable. My wife and I had very sore bodies after returning from the trip(maybe we are just not used to it...). I don't know how Bro Scarab managed it without looking tired.....maybe he really has an Iron Butt....LOL! Anyway, it was a good experience for us. We will try to limit our scooter rides to JB only, to preserve our old and frail bodies:smile:

[Tanarthur]

I need to pump every 100km on my Fino. Just do more trips and you will get used to it. Go with an open heart. No rush for time, no pressure whatever so and you will enjoy it more..

Guess U are right. Just needs more practice, to harden the butt LOL! In any case, cannot afford to buy bigger bike now so gotta enjoy (and endure) on this one till 2019 when its time to scrap it. Hope I would have saved enough by then to get a bigger scooter so tat I can keep up with Scarab

[Tanarthur]

If butt issue, can always re-wrap the seat... I done mine at Eugene Saddlery... Not bad... You might want to try "Air Hawk 2".... Google and you will find the answer...

Thanks for info TanArthur, sounds like a good idea, the seat re-wrap.... Also, my headlamps are damn weak for nite riding on the dark NS highway. May need to install some extra LED lights at the front. Wah, need to spend money again....wife will nag at me for sure. Gotta start saving for another bike liao so spend less on this one. 4 more years to go:)

Hi there. I've got an extra part of fog lights which I put on my b bone. Don't need them anymore so you can have them if you want. They are spot beams so if you want a softer beam and wider focus you'll have to paste some sort of diffuser sticker. Got some spares too if you want.

 

You just got to figure out how to mount then on your bike and wire up to your ignition with a switch. I can provide you a few links from online stores where I got bike stuff real cheap. Only downside is the delivery from China which takes 2-3 weeks.

 

gimme a buzz and I'll send you pictures of my b bone's fog lights.

Anyway here's a picture and link to where I bought my fog lights.

you could go for the following if you prefer a more powerful dual beam mode model.

Halo Trempest, thanks for the info. Have seen similar looking lights sold by Banggood. I haven't found a suitable place to mount these lamps on my scooter tat's why I have not bought them. The front fork area seems the best place but will need to get/fabricate suitable mounting brackets.....also the wiring may be a problem cos my scooter is prone to blowing fuses.The fuse box is rather vulnerable to getting wet so when I wash the scooter or leave it in heavy rain, it'll get soaked.......a real pain. I have managed to "hide" the fuse box, away from direct contact with water. So far so good but it is only a temporary fix. As I have mentioned earlier, I would not want to spend any more than is necessary to keep it running cos it mostly only serves as transport to and from my workplace (20km round trip) and the VERY occasional "tour" up north. Would prefer saving up for a proper bike tat I can use for longer road trips with the wife but it will only happen in the distant future....So right now I am loving my scooter cos for Spore use, its hard to beat! Anyways, cheers to U Bro. Will contact U for some chit-chat in the near future:smile:

[trempest]

Sure thing Bro.

 

If you intend to mount anything on forks or tube-like frames available on your bike that's 30mm to 45mm in diameter like what I have on my B Bone then you could consider these.

I recently ordered two pairs for use on my B Bone and Xr200.

 

Fabrication, especially from local stores would probably cost more than the fog lights themselves.

 

LEDs don't consume a lot of power but if its a short circuit you're concerned with, just add a fuse to the circuit.

 

That being said, its not normal that a motorcycle is prone to blowing a fuse. You wouldn't want the bike doing dead when you're caught in the rain.

 

Safety First.

 

It might be best to let the mechanic check it out thoroughly.
