Still dicking around with this and haven't done any lessons yet but I'm intent on getting on it this summer as we're moving to a new place which will mean a optional lovely commute across mountains to the office...
Finally fitted my Wishimura (exhaust and Yoshimura decal from wishdotcom) exhaust, first time I've welded in about 25 years and it was an interesting combination of stainless steel and steel... that exhaust wrap is hiding a multitude of sins😅
Actually looks pretty great and sounds mean! I ran out of exhaust wrap so need to get a longer roll and redo it and then do some wiring on the new headlight and maybe swap in some mini indicators but it's coming together, it runs like shit though so need to disassemble and clean the carb and then see how it is but I suspect it'll need a bigger jet in the carb.
Kind of thinking a Yoshimura inspired red/ black paintjob could look pretty cool and paint the rims and engine black too maybe?
Will also most likely do a battery-less conversion and stick some slightly more adventure type tyres on if anyone has a tyre recommendation for something that'll do about 75 - 25 road - off-road?
