*potentially

Already sussed a front wheel, once rear is acquired I can atleast roll it round.

the bro is gonna take the motor to his as he is bored and wants to have a play, dunno if it's saveable though but can't hurt to try

Have removed the rear wheel, drive hub is still stuck on the swing arm so will need some persuasive action to remove.

Front wheel will be next, hoping atleast the speedo cable is saveable as the brake cable has well and truly turned to crust.

After that the engine will come out and I'll pop the head off, see if it's worth my time. Might have a line on a v50 donk to slap in otherwise will look for a pw80 power house

Wheels aquired, from a suzuki fr50 but are a 90% fit. The best bit though?

Freeeebie...Zip, Zero, Naadaa

Need to de spring the front and get the whole bike as low as poss, might be able to scrape the leg sheild on turns (doubt it)

Also removed the motor, its well cooked so if anyone wants it for whatever reason its yours for a crisp high five

Anywho heres some pickys

Got the front end apart for make slam, will go a few mill higher as this photo is just with it sitting on the front tyre.

However being that this thing is as crust as it is it snapped the front shock shaft off in the bottom so looking for another one. I also have the front tree from a honda CT laying about so maybe i look as getting some forks for those?

Need a couple things spun up on the lathe which the old man is gonna sort for me, then i can more or less attach the rear wheel properly

Aaaaaand out comes the grinder

Yeah i think im liking this a bit more

Taken about 50mm out of the front forks but will throw some shocks back in. Will add some steel back into the rear of the bike to regain some sort of structure
