Mitchfromhillcrest Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchfromhillcrest Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Got some flat bars, made some risers out of ali. Haven't got any close up photos of them. Got to work on a fender. Made a leather sandbag, nylon hammer and smashed some 1.6mm ali sheet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchfromhillcrest Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 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. 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. And now its for sale. . Sadly it needs to go so I can pay some debts off. My next build will be a but slower but more manoeuvrable . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
