Gaz's choppy cub ''Golden Shower''

More little details that most will probs overlook. The stem nut for the forks looked kinda average so I thought I'd make a cover for it. I bought some napkin rings from a vinnies op shop. I got 8 of them for 10 bucks. I bored one out on my lathe so it would fit over the nut and spacer. Then I drilled a 5mm hole through the stem nut and tapped it M6.

Them I got 6mm aluminium from work, marked and drilled the center and fixed it to a spigot in my lathe and turned it to the same od as the napkin ring. 

Same principle as a headset cap on a BMX/MTB

My seat is finally done so I took no time in mounting it. So stoked with it. My mate Josh upholstered it for me. He did a stellar job on it as usual

To get rid of the lifan badges I ground off the rib on the clutch cover and polished that up then mounted a ''honda'' side cover from mbike that i bought from a mate 2nd hand and gave that a minor polish to contrast the painted cases.

This bikes had more small touches to it than Jimmy Saville did on top of the pops!

I'm curious what wheels you're running. I've been trying to get mine all together but I don't think I quite like the size of the stock wheels I've got for my trail. They seem too narrow.

The front is one I got from marketplace 21 inch wheel with spool hub, maybe from a speedway bike?

Rear is c50 hub laced to a 17inch alloy rim from a dirtbike I think
