Hey everyone, I bought mine summer 2013, and have been driving it up and down ever since, while collecting parts, getting ready for a complete and thorough rebuilt (powder coating frame, complete engine checkup/refresh etc).
I wanted all parts ready, and a second engine rebuilt to new before starting, but the other day I found a very cheap tank + sides that I really liked, and I got weak and tried them on, and snowballed from there.
So this is where I'm at (excuse the mess):
So I plan on getting it all toghether and back on the road, and autumn/winter of 2015 do the total rebuild, so I can also make changed from the current direction in case.
In the photos:
- Turbo valve covers (found em for 30 euro, love the look).
- Custom Stainless mufflers, 40 euro used (look new) and a lovely deep sound, that gets really angry just over 4-5k rpm.
- Front universal fairing off ebay.
- CX C headlight.
- Generic black riser bar.
To put it back on the road I'm going to need CX C gauges, >this< plate holder (builder of that cx lives in my city and will fab one for me), 4 blinkers with integrated stops on the rear, to put on the sides of the plate holder, and a pan to get a mucci-style seat made.
For the rest its just about chopping front mud guard and frame, painting fairing same white as the rest and fixing stuff here and there. Seat either black or leather color (with matching grips in both cases).
Soon after, straight pipes, and find someone to build me brackets to move some pedals forward (I'm quite tall and although I can deal with it, its not the most comfortable after a while).
Passenger pedals going back on, still meant to be a viable 2 person bike.
Any thoughts?
