Also Zombie seems to love pre-mix, today was my first longish ride and she ran smoother and with a little more power than she ever did with the factory oil injection system.

Love it. I get the Harley rider double look and then they see the Honda name and quickly look at something else.

This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but do you know any good Aero supply sites? My brother bought a beater 86 Aero 50 and he can’t find a decent set of replacement tail lights for his destroyed ones.

Yes, I buy spares off of craigslist.

Neither one of these is Zombie, but both of them fed her.

Aside from that, ebay. Unfortunately Honda doesn’t make parts for them any more, took me 6 months to find a set of freaking piston rings!

You should see how quickly sport-bike riders look away when I give them the sign of the horns as a salute while I’m wearing full Dainese race leathers on my scooter...

yeah, that’s kinda the issue we were running into. The scooter runs incredibly well, but the body is beat to all sorts of hell and parts are seemingly nonexistent. Thanks, though!

Do you use IFTTT? I’ve found it to be an invaluable tool for locating obscure parts without me needing to constantly look.

I have scripts that email me whenever Aero parts pop up on craigslist or ebay.

I’ve got a Craigslist app that does the same thing minus the eBay part, it was really an invaluable tool when I was searching for a summer car.

My project scooter is a ‘72 CT70H, so this whole “rare Honda parts” thing is a bit of a foreign concept to me :P

My 85 Aero is a nightmare, it has an engine that is totally different than all other production years :(

That’s why I hoard parts scoots!

Wasn’t that the only year that came without a kick start, too?

i always feel better about premix in two strokers. even when they had factory injection i took it off. like my blaster i used to have
