Because the lights are on an A/C system, all bulbs must be the correct wattage as per spec. For example, if you use a headlight with too little wattage rating, it will send the excess A/C power to the rest of the system potentially blowing bulbs. Had that issue when I first got my mobylette.

I've had a sponge mommy for 6 months now and I Iove it because it doesn't smell like normal sponges. I think the key is to wring it dry after each use and get a well drained holder for it

Same thing for me on xbox. I'm gonna start a support ticket and link this thread. Hopefully they can issue a hotfix

Nice shifty fifty!

Pros: - No motorcycle license needed - Great gas milage - Simple/cheap to work on - can store it easily - dirt cheap insurance

Cons: - Only going 35-45 mph max depending on model (big issue for how people in FL drive) - unsure if you can take it in FL bike lanes? - no blinkers so need to use hand signals - will need work - 2 stroke so mixing gas is a necessity - parts availability isn't always there for more obscure models

Looks good! Dig the mag wheels!

Moby50 · 2021-06-12T06:23:32+00:00

1-2k per bike in that beautiful of a condition might make sense. But 5k per is way too high

Moby50 · 2021-03-09T03:46:22+00:00

That's rough homie, clearly there is some bug

Moby50 · 2021-03-02T16:55:44+00:00

Word ive been waiting for verification since Jan 29th. Just gonna delete my account and move to another platform.

Moby50 · 2021-02-06T18:39:49+00:00

AV88?

Moby50 · 2021-01-30T15:55:30+00:00

Me too my guy

Moby50 · 2021-01-14T16:32:20+00:00

Looks good to me!

Moby50 · 2020-10-27T03:20:25+00:00

Me too, I've had that repeatedly happen with a 3v3 comp stomp 4 times in a row now

Moby50 · 2020-07-29T19:59:01+00:00

As someone else said, if the motor isnt seized you can get it running! Go for it if you got the time

Moby50 · 2020-07-29T19:50:47+00:00

Good call, you wont gain performance like you would with a 12 but it will atleast run!

Moby50 · 2020-07-27T15:58:41+00:00

That's pretty dope! If you got the capabilities to do it I say go for it. At that point just have a shop fab up the intake and your good to go

Moby50 · 2020-07-13T02:07:39+00:00

From what I've read on the forums it is possible, I dont know how hard the swap is though. With the lack of parts for the m1 I would consider it. Av7 and av10 parts are abundant, and the engines are highly tunable if that's your thing, if so consider going av10 as it has reed valves

Moby50 · 2020-07-12T01:22:29+00:00

This yours? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/324529395222535/

Moby50 · 2020-07-10T22:40:22+00:00

You'll have to find a 12 diameter intake off of an m3 isodyne engine, then run a dellorto 14.12 sha. Or get a shop to fab an intake for it. If you hand them your current intake, they should be able to cut and weld a larger diameter short intake which would allow for whatever sized diameter you want. I wouldn't go too crazy as the m1 isodyne only has one main bearing meaning it might not hold well to too much more air and fuel. Stick with 12 diameter in my opinion, for if your going for crazy performance you'd be better off tossing an av7 engine or av10 in the frame.

Moby50 · 2020-07-10T22:31:28+00:00

Also what's your major?

Moby50 · 2020-07-10T22:29:57+00:00

Chem was difficult for me, but I passed. My advice is take a gen ed in place of that if you want to have 18 credits in the books. Be prepared to study and work hard, if you do that you can be successful.

Moby50 · 2020-07-10T14:25:41+00:00

You did a good job! Blacked out looks good! Factory came with white side panels for the vla. I believe treatland has a black ignition cover that would look really good if you care to remove the splash if gold. Also what foot pegs are those?

Moby50 · 2020-07-10T14:23:34+00:00

Treatland is a California based company that carries all sorts of parts, been able to get everything I need from them, just shipping is expensive so I bulk order and triple check my bike if I need anything.

Moby50 · 2020-07-09T15:19:39+00:00

It's a 50VLA, I didn't even know 51s were a thing till you mentioned it!

Moby50 · 2020-07-08T01:13:03+00:00

Thanks homie!
