The Inspiration

simplify the rear

lose the corner of the tank

other paint scheme

Bike in the flesh

Found this example 15km from my home

controls badly oxidized

both sides

Refurbishing the original is my decision

left side after refurbish

Right side after refurbish

Home made blinker

powder coating the top section and painting plastic parts

New grips and bar cause original was too small

tank was plastic so metal one was sourced

further tear down

Tank looks really good !

deciding how to alter the rear frame

seat found and test fitting plastic tube is new frame idea.

seat frame made

Taking of seat frame and cleaning up.

Checking rolled tube for fitment

First test fit of the tubing, seat and tank.

New arc after welding ....fitting

placement of the rectifier

testfitting bracket that replaces passenger footrests

Brackets powder coated and fitted

Nice rear!

love the stock alloys

tank came in

last electric issues

the Result !

I do not like the stance

rear is perfet!

so what needs to be changed?

The Forks!

That's better!

Left hand side

Bit of fooling with the color

love the radiator curve

2 Inch fork drop

Much better stance!

Nostalgic look

Time to take the bike for some exposure

on the Bakkie!

It was on display in this clothes shop for 1/2 a year

I got some really nice comments!
