Practical or decorative reasons?

Not sure what you'd attach it to, there's no 'upper' fork leg, nor is there a top yoke (triple tree), crown nut, or even a frame member. Good luck with that one.

Apache is right in listing the obstacles, but I swear I've seen a PCX fitted with one of those Scott's type rotating steering dampers. It was a Thai bike though and as we know with their cost of labour and ingenuity everything is possible in Thailand.

LOL. I've seen many drag PCXs but no wheelie bars yet. ;-)

Oyabum... that's just cool

Spokes are a blast to the past but I do miss them. Someone put spokes on a Buell and it made me nervous thinking about all that torque delivered to the rear wheel but I guess it can be done.
