Lowered front end 2", repaint, clean the cluster to just the speedo. NEED to sort out that seat though, and the indicators, I'll have to get some good pics up. Oh and the front brake feels like pads are made of mashed potato.
And to all the haters laughing. Laugh. That's what a custom bike is all about. Seriously, the GN is more fun in many ways than my 650 Kwaka, especially on gravel! Definitely makes me laugh. And swear. It sure is more fun actually making things for the bike from complete scratch than buying things that fit right on.
N.B. The photo was taken a few months ago, but apart from the instrument cluster, it is pretty much the same. Work in progress!
Good for you fella,as someone said earlier ignore all the wank and simply do whatever ever it is that you enjoy doing with anything on two wheels.Correct on the fucking about with things is indeed fun which is what motorcycles are supposed to be about...or used to be
Be the person your dog thinks you are...
