Finally I can keep my promises I made long time ago here. Here are some pictures from my todays afternoon cowboy ride on my cured horse with brand new "horseshoes". ;D
Hope you´ll enjoy too. I did. ;) :)

Very nice indeed, wish I had a scoot when I was visiting years ago I would have been all over with it!

Hey Robo !
Great pictures....of Austria and of your new Heidenaus. Thanks so much!
Looking at this picture I was struck by the two mounting points for these (FACO ?) crash bars.
They seem to be attached and supported by only the two body panel fasteners...which are only screw spring clips...like these? Bolted through a panel only, to another plastic panel?

While the KYMCO crash bars are bolted to the FRAME under the top case, and at 4 points on the floor of the scooter.

The FACO bars, attached thusly, seem like they would break the panel at the 2 screw points if hit.
Also, can you tell me a web site for shopping FACO scooter accessories ? (for the LIKE or a Burgman?)
Nice photos indeed.

A vintage photo of mine....before the seat massacre and the addition of the lighted Bestem top case(https://s2.postimg.org/6zogf9pe1/nrw3.jpg)
Actually, this pretty seat is wrapped and in a closet - for the next owner - the rebuilt seat was to a used seat from a LIKE50cc on eBay.

Yes Tom, well observed. :) The Faco crashbars are out of stock long time ago. Just got one of the last ones at my dealer randomly in 2014. Faco mostly produces accessoires for Vespa scooters. I have the rear luggage rack in chrome also, but not installed yet. I need the topbox for my helmet and stuff to store and carry.

And yes, they are just called crashbars... ;D As you have correctly discovered, they are just mounted on the two small bolts on the side of the side cover. Clearly a contruction failure. In case of a hit, most likely the s**t will hit the fan. :o
I bought them anyways, because I liked them better for the design than the ones you have. The ones you have are more practical and more protective, but I didn´t like the "handrail"-style going around the whole scooter.
Tires are a real improvement. On- and offroad. And they run smoothly and quietly. Only when taking the scooter from centerstand and pushing it by hand a litte forward or backward you will feel a little bit the wider and more open thread profile. And great grip in dry conditions so far. On cobble roads, across rail tracks, Also in fast riden corners. ;) Haven´t tested them in the wet, but I am pretty confident.
But being reinforced tires front and back, they feel pretty harsh too. No real improvement here after the Kendas. But probably indestructible and I could load an elephant now... ;D 8)
