Other mods I’d like to do, remove the rear rack and possibly replace the long Mudguard with a shorter alloy or plastic trials one, maybe adding a loop to the rear of the frame if necessary and getting ride off the bulky silencer. I did try running the bike without it once and while it was gloriously loud, it didn’t actually run very well. I do have other keys for the carb somewhere so could try that but might also look at other silencers that could slip on to the back of the header or just running a straight pipe further back, not sure if just a longer straight pipe would make it run much better.
A high level exhaust could be cool but I look for them on eBay semi regularly and they don’t seem to be out there for these bikes so it might have to be custom and I think that’d put it out of budget.
