LOL! Why do you want a spoiler for your ped. I had 2 speedfights with spoilers and im so glad Ive got my grabrail now. (Thats just my Penny Coin Penny Coin s)

BCD do after market spoilers but they are a sporty shape and have a built in rear light...

Try Ebay, I sold my yellow one on there with bracket for £20...

Well, at least it's rear wheel drive.. as opposed to most of the boyracers that stick neons on front wheel drive cars Razz.

Why would you want neons on your ped while we're at it ? Wink

Well, I doubt anyone would put neons on their scooter in an attempt to impress people with larger bikes. It's more of a subculture thing, to impress other scooter owners, or just because they like how it looks.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Yes, and on a car it is designed to create downforce.

This force acts vertically pushing the cars tyres onto the road.

If you were to fit a 'spoiler' to a bike, then when you lean over to go round a corner, this force would no longer act vertically. This force generated would no longer be at right angles to the road, and is likely to unstick the tyres from the tarmac, IE make you crash.

There, hopefully that is simple enough for you! Smile

Some bikes do have spoiler-style grab handles.

Unlike car ones, where I believe they can often negatively effect handling (ie rear spoiler on a front wheel drive car), they do bugger all for anything but making you look a little stupid Smile.

I have wondered in the past about the possibility of using dynamically adjustable spoilers on a motorbike. (probably most useful, on the front, for mid speed acceleration on really powerful bikes).

I just go on www.ebay.co.uk and search up "Speedfight"

It brings up about 3/4 pages...
