2005 Yamaha BWS (#2): Strip Down & Rear Lighting


Nadia's scooter (pictured above), just doesn't have the pep it once had. It's a 2005 Yamaha Zuma (YM50, same as mine) with the stock 50cc engine still in it. While it's been a great learner scooter, the 50cc engine just isn't giving the same power it once was (Nadia's words, not mine). With those words in mind, I felt it was time to give this scooter a little power increase and slight beauty makeover. 

Since I've already detailed much of the transformations I'm planning on doing with this scooter on my scooter, I'll dispense with the extensive write up, and proceed straight to the pictures.

(minor cracks to the fairing, and scratches will be addressed)
(passenger foot rest damaged)
(not visible, but rack bolts sheered)
(Turn signals to be integrated with tail light, license plate area to be shaved down)


Disassembly



















(Sheered screw holder on the inside of fairing) 
(used JB Plastic Weld to re-secure the fastener area, worked quite well)
  Rear Lights

(Marked out where the LEDS would mount)
(same as above picture, but other side)
(Hole drilled out)
(LED's mounted)
(Rear lights completed)
