I was going to liquid cool my pre-bug. Been down that road before and the first one (2001) was a wheelie machine AND super reliable! Loaned it out and it got stolen. Got outta scooters for awhile but have a 98 pre-bug now, and a Burgman 200 for a runner. Wife has a Honda Silverwing. Only gripe about my pre-bug is its pre-good forks and brakes. Always on the lookout for a 2000-2001, with the KYB forks and Brembo disc brake. You seem to be on the right track then. Thought you were a newbee and didnt want to see you risk life and limb on a damaged scooter! Have fun with the scooter. I dont do Fbook or any other social media, so update us later on this site.
