Fair enough.
If you don't do this sort of thing, what are they gonna talk to their mates about?

Well? What is it then?

[BarryH]

Born to be mild! Needs a bit of work and tidying, but the basis is there.

[benny hedges]

isnt that a bit xs ive?

[tony.mon]

XS650?
Can't see too well.
And is that a single CV carb?

[BarryH]

Its a kwak 440. I have a z900 lump knocking about in the garage.....along with a big set of tyre levers and a couple of shoe horns.

[BarryH]

Not been riding the storm much. Been doing a bit of work on the shed I bought..........

Well I have to say Barry, what a difference that second photo makes. I know everybody's tastes are different which is fine by me, but I just didn't like the look of it in the first photo. In the second photo it doesn't look bad at all

Chris.

PS. I've just had another closer look. I see you've made some changes too, so that's helped. Removing the speedo from the side and fitting the different headlamp has made a big improvement.

[BarryH]

Made a fair few changes to the original. Had to do a lot of cutting of useless brackets etc and generally tidy the frame. Then paint, engine etc etc and the wiring loom, That was a real mess. I'm surprised it ran and not self combusted!




Its been a bit of fun. Rode it a couple of times and it put a bit of a grin on my face. Probably sell it on. Its not as much fun as riding the VTR

That's a nice looking scoot!
It's amazing the difference you can make by throwing a big can of bullsh1t at a pile of poop.
You've done a good job with that one
My son did a similar thing with a 535 Yamaha Viagra and he's having fun with that too.

[BarryH]

Stuck some "Al Capone's" on it......
