I looked long and hard at a Moto Guzzi Norge, but ended up with a V-Strom, biggest reason, no local Guzzi dealers

I rode to the Paris Landing/Kentucky Lakes area for a group camping/riding event. I stopped part way in Carlyle, IL on the way down and at Ray Behrens state Park on the way back... both of these are ACE campgrounds where I can get half price campsites. It rained hard the first morning after arriving but was nice weather the rest of the time.

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.

People s150 / Re: Hand Guards

You can get them on aliexpress, OEM, for around $35 plus some shipping. Not bad price compared to what i saw people asking on ebay. This is for the S 150 but it might be listed as for the S 125, but it still fits.


        Thank you for that info! I'll check them out.

Wow. Nice job Ruffus. 😍

Thanks, there you go!
Yeah - aliexpress - not alibabba.

Couldn't remember the name.
They sell a ton of stuff for bikes and scooters.
Stig

Just be wary, lots of tat on that site among the gems.

One from last year to make you squirm.

And I thought the 120 mph lap when I was there in the 90’s was superhuman…

Doing laps in 17 mins?....assuming one doesn't become a new Bansky mural on a pub side.
What's the distance again, Neil?

Stig

If memory serves, 36 miles & change.

Edit:  It didn’t. Google tells me 37.730 miles

Got me knee down a few times back in the day, but a shoulder?  Seems to defy the laws of physics!
