This winter my sporty has undrergone some serious changes.
The peanut tank was qute but no good for long distances. The gas
stations are also far apart here in my part of the world.:tour
Øyvind found an aftermarket tank which had to be polished,
the big hole in front was filled in, welded very nicely,
and prepared for change of colour. We chose a deep purple,
it is a girly colour, I know, but I wanted something diferent. My black days are over.:laugh
Because of the bigger tank, the front signals had to be moved.
Luckily we found some new brackets lurking around the workshop and the signals will now be placed
on the forks, instead of hanging from the handlebar.
The front fender is also new. The big one would look too massive in solid purple.
There is still some work to be done before the bike is ready for the roads.
I will keep posting new photoes in my gallery for those of you who care to follow.
