Hi new to this so bear with me.
Im beginning to think this conversion wasnt done very well as it seems off centre. The rear wheel isnt central to the body and the cylinder head snags on the bodywork. Theres box section welded underneath to hold the smaller p125x swing arm. Wondering if i should remove that and use a proper conversion kit? Or is it ok as is?

use a proper conversion kit. that looks like some cobbled together nonsense.
also, change your kickstart lever out. if you don't have a cylinder shroud, you need one. -g |
