Thanks UBF. Quite impressive!  What are you using in the back for the cylinder reflector?  Also I love the chrome you have on it.  Keep the pics and ideas rolling in, I use you for inspiration all the time.

P.S.  Please tell me you have the outfit and helmet that have a "police" look to them!

CommuterScooter....The Cylinder on the back is a Clear Plastic Food Container
from Walmart.  It has a hinged watertight lid.  This acts as a helmet holder
and a storage container for towels, window cleaner,  you name it.  It was just
around $7.50...

Yes...My aim is to look professional.  I believe it gains more respect on the road.
Periodically,  I get 2 or 3" letters and put "POLLEO"  (a Roman Engineer) on the Windshield.

By the time they figure out what it really says,  I've long passed them.  You know,  My
Grandvista was a former Police Bike used by the Hendersonville NC Police Dept.  A few times
I've stopped at accidents here close to home and helped direct traffic.

Another thing was I added Green Liscense Plate LED on each die of the dash so I could
tell when I left the auxiliary lights on.  These lights actually reflect off my Lime Green Jacket
after dark.

I just added a red auxiliary LED "idiot" light right in the center of the Kymco emblem just below the hook.  I had to do this after I left my heated hand grips on and killed my battery.  ;D
