The new girl's rear end gets a makeover.

**rosie631** · 29th September 2009, 18:07

Making a few changes to the new bike. I loved everything about my old one when I got it so didn't really do too much to it. The new one is more of a blank canvas. Didn't take a before pic and the bike is currently in bits but have posted one that sort of shows the rear end. Anyway, changes planned. 1. Side mount number plate. Have made up the bracket, picking up resized plate tomorrow. 2. Resite tail light and chop the rear guard. 3. New indicators mounted close to the guard instead of sticking out a mile. Have already changed seat to a solo. Guard will be back from getting the chop on Friday. Then will put it all together in time for ride on Saturday.

Looking good.

How's she riding?

**rosie631** · 29th September 2009, 18:26

Rides good. Took me a while to get used to it but done 2500kms on her now and loving it. Putting new rubber mounts on this week which hopefully will fix the problem with the lean on the bars.

Am working on the bike today. Putting new bushes on. If you have the day off call round for a coffee. You can help me tweak my front end again and I'll show you my new rear lol.

Now if I hadn't read all of this I would have taken that last comment way differently!!

Blank canvas??

It looks like a mint complete bike to me.
But I do think the guard is huge and no one keeps the standard indicators
