Cool.Looks like it would provide some crash protection as well.


Yes, it would "protect" the forks & disck in case you drop the bike to the ground.

I'm excited to see the Brake Levers finished! I would like to have some nice cnc machined levers, but have the same Disc/Drum combination, and haven't seen anything that would work. Maybe I can follow your lead, and modify some!

After a loonnggg wait, today I got my stuff from Germany:

The brake levers:



The rear Mudguard:


I just ordered from Vento Mexico a pair of stock brake levers to work with, once I get them I will modify this Stage6 levers to fit my Triton.

I also found a pair of Triton GT5 rims!!! Very Happy , those are much, much nicer than my actual rims...I have been looking for these rims since 2006!!!!

Rims are like these ones:

Thanks!

Yes, the rims are different, both are five spoke but these GT5 rims has some "cuts" inside each spoke, look:


These rims are very rare...at least here in Mexico, only few GT5's are still alive and You don't see them often.

WoW Shocked !
Sure is sexy Wink !
VERY nice Mexicano!
I bet you get all the attention on that badbay!?!
Do those wheels have the funny cupped shape on the
other side from casting? The one thing i hate about scooter
wheels Confused . Some are so bad the wind will throw ya around.
Those dont look so bad IF they are like that...Not enough
surface area to really catch the wind.

Thanks, Robert!

Yes, all the scooter rims are same crap.....I saw on the net a company that can fabricate ANY kind of rims, your design or their design, they manufacture in Aluminium or Carbon Fiber...but those cost an arm & a leg Shocked ..near $1,500.00 for each rim!!!!...I guess with all the money I have put into this baby, maybe another $3,000.00 won't hurt...maybe some day in the future..
