Freewilly starting to look the part

[rogson]

The reflector came adrift in the headlight of my Freewind. It's an expensive sealed unit (also the beam strength is rubbish), so I decided to pull finger and do what I have had in mind for ages, which is replace it with a lighter (and tidier IMO) enduro unit.

The new unit with mounting hardware and indicators weighs about 1kg. The stock unit included copius bodywork mounted on an elaborate (and very heavy) steel frame which in-turn was mounted on the headstock, all weighing around 6kg. I have used the stock instrument unit which I have mounted on a custom made alumnium plate attached to the top triple clamp.

I have also managed to find a better front fender to go with the 21" wheel. Its not a perfect colour match with the side covers but is a lot better than the flimsy yellow abomination previously used.

Adventurizing is function over form for sure. Tidy job

5kg less over the front wheel. You'll be wheelstanding everywhere.

Nice work.

Keen to have a look.

New parts to make it go as good as it looks - namely, CCM 710cc big bore kit

Does that come with the full cylinder all done?

How much was that kit?

We expect a full report once it's fitted.
