accident

I never really liked the relatively small width of the tires for the pcx150. I think that has partially contributed to wobble and 2 accidents here in los angeles. anyways, because the accident, geico wants to salvage the 2013 scooter and give me a net of $2k. I'm wondering if I can or should just fi...

Re: rack no drilling

so it seems like my options for my PCX 150 are: Honda OEM: only 35 Liters ( is there larger OEM? ) - Rear Trunk Rack - Rear Trunk attachment Givi: Max weight capacity - 55 Liter Top Case Maxia III rack should work for PCX150 as well? - Monokey Rear Rack Thanks all for your help.

Obviously keep up with the maintenance as 2500 miles flies by with me doing 70 a day but longer runs have seen me hitting 129 mpg ok great. that gives me som...

Re: Long Commute

Wait! butch3r, how did things work out on the (drill-less) rear rack you wanted for pizza deliveries? You never got back to us. Sign me, curious WN :D My in-laws pizza place is worried that pizzas will slide around more with the turns on a scooter and there's less shock absorbers on bumps then a ca...

Long Commute

Hi all. My commute has been 6 miles to work and 6 miles back. It takes me about 25 to 35 minutes depending on traffic on the freeway, # of traffic light stops, etc. It's not a bad drive. However, I'm taking a job which will be about an hour fifteen minutes away (It'll take longer considering hills ...

Where'd you get these LED's from? Have you had problems with it? Are you sure they're not knockoffs. I've seen some amazon reviews of kawell's that seemed like knockoffs. How did you install from mounting and from wiring to battery?

Re: rack no drilling

To be able to support any kind of load the rack needs to be tied into the frame. The piece that requires drilling is less than $20 to replace if you no longer want a rack installed. It's number 13 in the diagram on the link below. http://www.hondapartshouse.com/oemparts/a/hon/5053e45ff870021c54be20...

rack no drilling

Is there a standard model rack that doesn't need any drilling to install onto the PCX150?

What I really want to do is set up a rack in the back of the scooter for pizza delivery. However, I don't want to drill.

Re: Need noise

Despite what all the pirates tell you, loud pipes don't save lives. ;) You can typically only hear pipes on the highway or road when the bike is already past you; it doesn't make a difference at speed in projecting noise forwards. Investing in some better lighting will go a long way. I ride with my...

Need noise

I go on the Freeway and it's so dangerous out here in L.A. I need to somehow get something onto my scooter that will help it make noise so that people won't cut me off or crash in to me by changing lanes...they'll actually know I'm behind or next to their car. I was thinking of loud music on speaker...

Re: PCX150 Helmet

I didn't get an answer. What is the cloth piece called?

What helmet do you recommend that has this (hopefully under $100)?

I think I found the name. It's called a breath guard or chin curtain. Now, I'm just trying to find the best helmet for my commute (6 miles) on the freeway to work and then back home through the LA city streets. I bought a really bad helmet for my first one. I live in L.A. and prefer a full face helm...

PCX150 Helmet

I bought a really bad helmet for my first one. I live in L.A. and prefer a full face helmet for protection and to reduce inhaling smog. I some helmets recently with a bar/cloth part that goes under the chin to prevent air/particles from coming inside the helmet. What is that cloth part called? Anoth...

Re: Pizza Delivery PCX 150

great pics. that's more what I'm looking to do. Wouldn't the toppings and cheese slide all over the place if pizza is carried on the back of the PCX--especially on LA roads?? The scooter has a bouncy ride even on relatively good streets. yeah. this could be a problem. I don't plan on making sharp tu...

Re: Pizza Delivery PCX 150

Is there a rack big enough for a pizza case? Most of the racks seem to be small on the back of the scooter. I also prefer not to make any holes in the scooter.

Thanks for your guys help.
