It’s lush, I like the two tone gold tank, breaks it up a lot asthetically from the rest of the black and almost makes the bike look lighter/ more classic/traditional than it does all black.

all for switching up the colours though. Look forward to seeing what you choose!

 

Cheers mate yea shes my prized pain in the ass hahah.

Prety stoked found this old seat pillion in shed (i have alota crap) 

It came as a 2 piece with the seat thats on it now.. was actually joint togever. I had to cut them apart. Along time ago. But moved house and lost..

Sooo cut out half the foam to match the riders seat. Also found some pegs aswell so black they have gone..

Made a mount underneath to bolt on.

So comes on and off but i like the sorta dorky 70s vibe. After all thats the goal havnt sit on it yet. As she leans over haaard out. Gota have some one holding up the bike but stoked. And also put some carpet in my other project my kp starlet so bizzy day all round.

So before we go will be.

1- oil change

2-check all main bolts are tight as she likes to vibrate them loose...

3-probly should look at my pesky break light.

4-sort some sort of carb covers for the night to stop snow. Brob be a old double brown can or somthing. As i run old siv chopped up and hose clamped on.

Some people. Cant understand why i put my self in these situations on this fine rallick of a motorcycle.. well why not its a challange hahah
