There is a Scooter repair shop in Gardena, CA that can do repairs and MODS to scooters. I saw the AD once and now I cannot find the listing. I want to MOD the exhaust of my 2006 Yamaha Vino and I know it can be done now and I want to take care of it. I have completed Google & Yahoo searches, that is how I found it originally. I cannot believe someone would not think that I may have already done this. I am looking for someone with 1st hand knowledge of the area and business in question. Is is on or around Artesia Blvd in Gardena near the 110 freeway. Have you considered doing it yourself? It's a VERY quick and easy mod to do. Check out www.provoscooter.com for instructions, pictures, and other DIY mods. My dealer derestricted it for me before I bought my Vino so when I went to grind out the washer it was already gone.LOL.. Call your dealer before you pay someone to look at it and ask if they already derestricted it. Go to Yahoo.Com and click on Local, when you get to the next screen, Enter "Scooters or Motor bikes or Scooter Repair" then in the next column to the right, enter the location that you though you saw it in or just enter Los Angeles. A list of Scooter shops will come up. You should find what you are looking for in this list, although the search may spill over to the next screen. It's there. If they are worth their weight, they can be found via Yahoo.
Good Luck |
