Been tinkering frames painted gun metalish 

Wheels bars painted in silver

Tank will highly likely will be getting replaced with a mini trail tank as like them more just waiting on tyres to arrive then will fire it up 1st time in this contraption 

Planing on putting z50m lights on it 

[Aubs]

Shes a runner.

And she runs good.

Had a bit of a 1st shake down run. Started 2nd kick ran mint went round the block a couple times no issues.

Typicall 1st run tinkering needed. Needs break cables mostly. 

But she rides well gota b happy

New chain got the chain alignment with my brackets bang on. Was a lil worried but happy days

Mate gave me a z50m light but no lense so its gota perspex one in thea. Ill chop up a random light for the guts.

 

[Aubs]

Had a shitty old light stole the inner and glued into this now can have a bulb in thea 

[Aubs]

Got front break working 

Next exhaust 

Maby some guards

[Aubs]

Dont feel bad about the chopped front guard it was absolutely cooked.

Someone had drilled holes in it and use door hinge to hold together errrr.

So had to dremil them off as they were rusted completely.

Filled holes paint

Got bulb in light 

Last pic from yesterday went for its 1st ride out of the street to a park near by went great no issue.

Tank needs clean inside. Can only do lil bits at a time due to health stuff but tickn along nicely 

[Aubs]

Oh what a difference the die has made to the seat tryd to scrub the seat but didnt come up too well think with a rear guard maby a little rear light will b prety sweet

[Aubs]

Tanks sorted even have a wet sand and a re clear looks realy good just need rear guard
