Sooo after the big ol quake down here and having some time off work i decided it wasnt such a good idea doing a gearbox swap on my 521 gettn under a ute on stands with the current aftershocks :rolleyes:

So the cover got removed from the sidetrack after seeing this sweet pic of the CT90 on ladaspeeds scooter thread.

So i chopped the rear guard. Removed the front guard and removed the front bars and shortened them up a bit. Got some welding to do but need some gas.

Ive moved the pegs down to half way down the rear swingarm.

since the pegs will sit further back ill modify my old 720 shifter to a suicide style shifter for the gears!!!

So once i got some CO2 illl be finishn off the welding for some ultimate rebel mischeif!!

Me and the Quake City Boys are working on them on Sunday and should have a whole lot more finished

Hoping for a gang ride within the month as one of the boys has put a C90 engine in his FR75 Suzuki step thru and has put a 110/90/17 massive!! rear tire and has cut the guard up so it hugs the tire and hardtailed it
