Since acquiring her in June, a fair bit has gone on.
After getting her to run properly, Carb and Timing, etc. I have set about making her my own. Parts have been obtained from our hosts, and let's say, International sources!
The following replacements, upgrades, and just things to make me smile when I look at and ride her, are as follows;-
The single seat had to go, I did not like it, plus my granddaughter and SWMBO wanted a ride, so a nice comfy custom (not American style!) seat was fitted, complete with a nice chrome grab rail.
The battery died, so I fit a Lithium ion type, simply because I already had one that fitted.
The battery box was a sorry looking fibreglass one, so, this was replaced with a chrome 8 volt? cover, that I had to shorten and re-work the hinge to fit.
A chrome chain cover fitted, and while I was there, a new chain put on.
A chrome rear brake back plate fitted, this goes nicely with the chrome brake rod, that replaced the flimsy thing that was previously fitted
