Well … as some of you know … I had a rush of blood to the head as Kredit Krunch has stalled badly due to the headstock being cracked .And sourcing a frame or cutting and shutting or whatever solution has not yet been decided … Soo I went and bought this … :crazy: :sick:

I know I know what a orrible bit of **** , with some issues … ran like crap , umm headlight kept popping the fuse and the forks leaked lots of oil . So the forks went of to the chromer and it sat on blocks for 7 weeks .

So while they were away I ferked around a bit , plugs , service ,carb twiddlins , threw some matt black at it and came out with this …

Better , I can see something there now … But still to many shiny bits and pillion room , and a no headlight . So anyways I direct fed the headlight and took it for an MOT . It passed . So now I can really start hacking it up :smiley:

First things first though , headlight . Well that has taken removal of old fusebox…

Phew that was nearly enough for one day … but then I got out my weapons … And hacked …As we can see exhaust are umm … shorter and have given the bike its new name … and pillion provisions are gone .

Now we are getting somewhere . What we want is a bike that throws a plume of whatever is on the road all over me :smiley:
