SCARE!

Those bars are tight!

choice. any desire to use something a little classier than box section for rear 'struts'?

perhaps turnbuckles or tube and rod ends or some such

i guess cheap is key but ya know...

Oh yeah, the box section is just for now. Will give it a lash of paint..

I'll figure out something better later.. was thinking of welding up some chain.

edit: just picked up some 20x20mm galv box section $10.50 for a metre boom..

looks cool, i hope your arn't thinking of going hard tail??

we had an old one that was hard tailed, but being as light as they are you always end up taking them off road,

and sure enough end up popping tyres and bending rims not to mention bending the frame mounts,

 

any way, looking forward to progress pics

You hoped wrong, making up some struts this week!

I've got an XL100 for off road, and am building a SL100 for the beach too, so it ain't going there..

And even if I fucked it, I got a bunch of parts to replace shit

I heard it woodn't go..

I hacked the mangled rear guard off a bit, will leave it there with the standard brake light until I sort other things

(get it going again), then I will get onto a side mount maybe..

I chucked a rack on (which holds a box of beers perfect, with room for a baseball bat, a skateboard,

or even an extra ho if don't mind riding three-up).

Mocked up the struts for the back too. 200mm eye to eye seems the go..

Will get some 20x20mm box section for those.

Probably gonna make a little pillion pad type seat..

I picked up my C50 on the weekend, complete with a rego.. lookin forward to a summer of no wofs!

interested in cost too bro
