Has anyone put a custom wheel on a Vino 125? What rim / where did you find it? I'd like to wind up with a red or black old-school looking rim to replace the directional aluminum wheel on the Vino. Future plans involve whitewall tires as well.

I'm a big fan of the wheel from the Genuine Buddy Blackjack ( http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/photog...e_buddy_35.jpg ) Would this rim work on a Vino?

If anyone can point me at a place to source a wheel like this, that would be great! Thanks in advance.

figured i'd start a picture thread. just picked up an 09 Met for my wife and I. had to get it home, so the wife's 2008 Fit Sport came into commission. see pics below! will be adding more with the adventures that will follow..






i really wanted "Ghost" color, but the Graphite is all they had. i'm ok with it though.

This is a pic request, sorry for anyone thinking that there might already be sweet custom Vino 125s in here...

I'm thinking of picking up a Vino 125 and would like to see some pics of custom work done to these little machines? Can anyone post up pics of their bikes or bikes they've seen online or eslewhere that were pretty awesome?

Thanks!

Hi everyone im a longtime follower of the website and i finally wanted to post some pics of our scoots ill have better pics later thanks.

It started with 2 metros in the spring of 2003. We loved them and by fall wanted something bigger to trail the kids. We bought the wife a mint condition 1985 Honda Rebel 250. Since the metro couldnt keep up with the Rebel I bought a new Vulcan 500. By the next year we both wanted something bigger. Orginally the wife was gonna take the 500 but she decided on a Shadow 600. She later sold the 600 and started riding the 500. I moved up to a Nomad 1600 in 2005. In 05 my wife decided she wanted a Silverwing but I thought it was too big for her and we traded the 500 on a new Burgman 400. After 18 months and $5000 in mods to the Nomad I decided to sell it and bought another Burgman 400 this one was a 2004. In 2008 we really missed the fun and simplicity of the metros and thought about buying them again. They are just so small. We discovered Vespas and went to look at the 50cc scooters because they are like big metropolitans. We ended up with the 150cc version thinking that the 60mph capability would be beneficial. The Burgmans were sold. In 2010 my daughter who is 13 got into the action with a Metro II.

I'm not sure if the'll upload but I'll give it a shot...
