Free new bike bits!! Fly screen fitted and an opportunity for a shameless pimping of my baby
As it is just about there, or will do until next winter where more stuff will happen to make it mine, thought I would post a few pics.
A bit about the bike - bought in January as a Cat N write off (cosmetic), 962 miles on the clock but looked like it had been stored in a Siberian salt mine as it was 5 years old but looked 50!
Whats has been done to it?
No immediate plans to do any other mods until winter comes, but I have said that before!

Whats has been done to it?
- Much love was lavished on it, polished wheels etc as they were goosed!
- A few gentle love taps here and there to straighten stuff out, or anything badly bent was replaced.
- Vinyl wrapped some of the chrome bits as pitting was quite bad (after I removed the pitting, didn't vinyl over it
). - Radiator straightened and leaks fixed.
- @hogweed rad cover fitted.
- New headlight rim and lamp (though I eventually fitted Chinese NON adaptive lights, seem pretty good for the money)
- New levers (struggle with stock and I dont have small hands!).
- Mudguard support bracket replaced as it was bent
- New exhaust, standard one was trashed, and is about the same weight as a small truck.
- Fly screen fitted, generously donated by @cowboyuptex (Jury is out on whether to spray it matte, same as the rest of the bike, I say yes, wife says no!)
- A set of @chandelierman bars are ordered.
