Well decidd to start up my build page in here instead of adding to the owners section.
For those who havn't read i bought the bike years ago but discovered no cdi,
after unable to find one i let it sit for ages. Until now, I have ordered the Boyer Brandson ignition for it and in the meantime i "fixed" her up.
I must say im doing this as cheap as i can and couldn't be arsed to find original parts, and i got my first child coming soon, It's a Boy
So as a starting point this is what i had:
And so the striping started
Removed carbs and cleaned engine
Seeing as most of the plastic side trims were cracked and missing corners and the bike semed really long and tall i decided to shrten and lower it.
Welded up the tube ends
and now i needed a seat, so broke out the fiberglass and made me a seat pan.
Used the original locking bracket so i can still access the glovebox and battery.
And reused the foam to make the seat cushion, nor sure how it'll work but i have to buy some material to cover it.
So thats it for this week, I do have plans to make some carby adapters to allow me to run twin K&N filters as you can't buy them for these models anymore.
