Chris.QCR Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Here is my latest purchase! Honda XL175. Unsure on year Goes really bloody well but is missing second gear so i gonna track down another one at some point Handlebars are bent so will be replace with small BMX bars Gonna go with a El solatario Pop Cycle look. Shorten up the rear hoop and get seat chopped and retrimmed A bit of black paint here and some fluro paint here and there Then will ride with some other mates who have the same bikes and we will taunt the trails in our steel cap boots and denim vests and vintage moto x helmets and laugh at the monster energy flat peakers 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
