Haven't done it for the Helix, but it's definitely possible to have them powder coated. Probably not nearly as cheap as painting them though. I had the wheels...
I haven't seen a Helix clone up close and personal. But I have seen Chinese "knock offs" of many other consumer products. They are notorious for making...

Greetings All, Curious what the easiest way and place to install a 12 volt outlet (cigarette lighter) on the scoot would be? i was hoping to install a stereo,...
I finally found out what was wrong with this scooter. It was the clogged fuel filter. It was filled with rust particles from all the rust in the tank. I rinsed...
I was wondering if you are supposed to adjust that little barrel type thing on the rear brakes by the rear tire. I have always adjusted it, but I was...
I've never removed a Helix fuel tank but the Honda service manual shows a diagram of the tank lifting out of the frame from above and the removal steps are as...
I'm not sure what you mean when you write "little barrel type thing on the rear brakes by the rear tire." but I can contribute that the rear brake is adjusted...
I had the same experience with mine. the second time around i removed the floorpanels and the front panels and it was easier to remove the tank. I also removed...

I don't remember off hand if i had the rubber on when i put the tank back in,or if i only put two in because of clearance issues.the bike ran for a couple...
