Picked this sweet thang up for a chill $2000. Well my girly bought it for me for my birthday by surprise.

What a G B.

Deregistered but in pretty good nick.

Got to work getting it revinned

 

Needed a few minor things like the indicators flashed too fast, headlight only had high, tyre was almost through to the wire. Few messy wires that I had to tidy up but otherwise she was all good.

 

$1400 later, (I know right!) It was back on the road ready to bobber.

Long story short.

 

Bought some $10 indicators of tardme.

 

And a 2 dollar taillight from the dump.

 

A few cans of matt black, whipped up some new exhausts too and some baffles,

 

Next minnit.ddddd.jpg

 

LOL almost forgot.

 

Made the sweetest custom seat. But I can't take all the credit.The final shape was done by Greg at Midnight Upholstery, and the final stretching of the vinyl.  So basically most of it. I take credit for all the stuff ups and slight off centre pattern hahah.

 

Got some close ups of the indicators and brake light after all. Not of the side mount much though.

Sadly it needs to go so I can pay some debts off. My next build will be a but slower but more manoeuvrable .

I rode one of these across the usa

what a pig haha. Have yoy tried it on nz roads yet? The most i could get out of it was 100mph before the panniers tried to fly away and the windvisor started to flex

was neat hitting fireflys at night and having glowing guts all over me tho

i recall mine had a dodgy headlight and fuel gauge, so maybe electrics are poo on trse

edit: hell its for sale and in hamilton. You tempt me too much. Missus wont let me have cruisers tho she only.likes sports bikes haha

Tho i wouldnt mind strapping a blower to this and being a nucience around hillcrest again.

They aren't very common here specially in 400cc.

Seem to be popular in the states and japan.

 

Hahaha 130kph max with the missus on the back.

Never really went far on it cause i got it in winter plus had other pressing matters to attend to.

 

Ended up getting $800 more than what i spent on it.

 

Damn stoked.

 

Ive got a gn250 in the shed which will be a motocross/road bike cross over. One day.
