2015 Headlight Mod to 2013 PCX (Using Vinyl Decals)

ScooterMan · Post by **ScooterMan** » Wed Sep 03, 2014 1:15 pm

I've always hated the weird bottom profile of the headlight on our PCX's. 2015's fixed that. But even before they came out, I'd been thinking about using some black vinyl decal material I had laying around to remedy the situation. Took me about 45 mins and some trial and error. Finished product looks pretty good. Not perfect, but passable for now. Hopefully the decals stick because it's a relatively small area and there's lots of curvature. Anyway, enjoy!!!

Looks good but non US bikes have lights in there.

You just need to get rid of the stick out turn signals and mount them in the headlamp. I think they look like shrek's ears.

True!. I pulled off the rubber covers to see how they're mounted, but not sure I want to put too much time/effort/money on those. If I did integrate them into the headlamps, I'd have to find some "block-off" covers or whatever. COnsidering doing some mini-stalk signals, and have a fender modifcation on my to-do list...but I'm really trying my best to leave it stock! I do have an exhaust on order though (Takegawa Power Silent Oval).

They look really good and I'm sure that the vinyl will hold/stick well, as today's material has a really good quality

It's a pity that US models don't use the available locations to add more useful lights to the scooter, instead of leaving them empty...

That really pulls the front view in lean & narrow

Yours was already slim compared to the 2015's but now that looks nice!

LMAO!! Good One Ali! I've been trying to pinpoint the look, and you nailed it!

ScooterMan great idea! I think that Looks

So Much Better!! When I had my 2011, I didn't care for the bottom look either.
You took care of that.....simples!! Cheers!

My wife says at night in her car from a few hundred feet away on my side view she often only sees my reflectors. I would hate to lose them.

The front wheel reflectors SECoda? The rear? Both? I'm confused

(it doesn't take much

)
Time to catch some zzz's. Night.

i did the same with the upper section till i install the lights in there looks like a completely different bike

Yes - even my dealer said the 2015s are a bit less visible at night from the side. Not a big deal but I'd hate to have my wife hit me since she made the comment on only seeing the side reflectors in poor light.
