Cafe style/drag handlebars on my vino 125!

[joelsorge]

I just put some sick handlebars on my 125. It is wicked cool. I am going to post some pics of it tonight so come back to check it out!

Also, does anyone know if there are any rear cowl set ups that work on the vino 125? I was looking at scooterworks.com, and the vespa ET series seems to be a similar body shape and size to the vino so I thought that it may work. Any ideas? Also, any foot-peg ideas?

I have been thinking on both bars and highway type foot pegs. Im running the vino 50 on a razz frame and I have gained about five inches in length, which is nice being six foot tall.
As I think bars, I want too keep stock cables etc. so that kinda limits me, and then plastic. So I just can't picture what will work in my project. DW

DWS...You are the only member I've heard mention cable length. Are the drag bars shorter across? where you would have your cables being too long now and bowing excessively?

I had no problems with cable length. I had some store credit at a local motorcycle dealer/shop, and though labor is through the roof at motorcycle shops, since I had the store credit I just had them do it. The bars were ever-so-slightly longer than the stock bars, but since they were much lower the cables fit just fine. I am going to post pics asap, but I forgot my camera again! SORRY! I am also looking into foot pegs and cowls, so I will keep yall posted on that.

PS- I check a canadian yamaha scooter site for drag bars and they ran about $40 on their site. However, since yamaha scoots have a universal fit on their bars, I was able to grab exactly what I was looking for from the dealership for $13! Sometimes you have to go look at a motorcycle shop for small things that they don't want but you need and you can find crazy deals. Peace.
