Default I need your opinion (picture)
I just finished my winter project.. First ride done to laconia bike week.. But I dont like the style of my bike.. At the beginning, I put those mags but I prefer the socal look with 40 spoke wheel. I want your opinion and some idea..... For example : new wheel, new exhaust, more chrome, lower the front one more inch...... BY the way.. I going to paint it next winter...

More chrome to make the black on the tins stand out more. Get the chrome lower forks, neck cover, and frame down tube covers.

Looks a little retro to me - it's just begging for spoke wheels, wide whites and a visor for the headlight. Good job - nice scooter!

Spokes and a different exhaust. Fishtails would look great on your ride.

I would get a new exhaust but wrap it in dark grey. I would also go with spokes but the fat kind. Stick with the tire sizes you have. I like the skinny tires on those bikes. Go with a double trumpet air horn in black. Black oil tank and black forks. I'd consider going with black handle bars. Maybe mini apes. Would also go with black struts.

I would get some contrast cut wheels, and remove all the chrome give it a dirty look and leave it flat. Make a custom exhaust with the vintage fishtail tip

Fat spoke black wheels in the same size. New pipes. Fish tails are cool but I'm not into it when they stick to far off the back. Just not my taste.
