LIKE 200i / LIKE200i accessories holding up well
« Last post by Stig / Major Tom on Today at 02:40:29 PM »REPOST from 2017 years ago:
Bought my LIKE200iLX a little over 4 years ago.
First accessory I installed that summer was a full set of the Kymco crash bars - just for the looks of them!
Next were a pair of long stemmed FAR mirrors from Italy to see behind me. The mirrors and the crash bars have been waxed several times - and except for the Italian screws - are free of rust.
.
Next I installed the lighted Bestem 929 top case - purely for the added night riding safety. I do put things in the case , but mainly it's value to me is its wrap-around running lights and brake lights. Is is also priced at @ 20% of the two major brands of lighted cases. The case has worked flawlessly for me for nearly 4 yrs.
I do wish they made a slightly smaller version.
Then there is the battery tender - which I keep stepping on - but works fine.
And the Tiny Tac that I put on about 3 yrs ago. Easy installation & works great. Applied with a bit of red 3M autobody tape.
Philips MotoVision orange bulb was installed a year or so ago. I like it. I ride in the dark every day. As advertised, the different color seems to get me noticed.
Not an accessory - but the thing that enables me to enjoy hours, rather than minutes, of riding my LIKE is the seat rebuild which I did on a used 50cc LIKE seat from ebay ($30) BTW- that Sailrite 4-way stretch vinyl seat covering I used has proven to be good stuff....they make custom motorcycle seat covers with it, so figured it would be a quality vinyl. Beats the heck out of fabric store vinyl!
All in all, the few accessories I have installed are holding up well.
(inside the scoot are a set of Dr. Pulley 14g sliders, an NGK Iridium spark plug, a Yamaha fuel pump a bigger YUASA battery for my winter starts in the boonies, and Michelin tires either end)
Love this scooter.
