Right so the plan is to build a cafe racer style scooter..
I like the small front mudguard but the price is crazy so has anyone any cheaper alternatives..
I was looking at the px version but mount is on the wrong side..has anyone modified one??
Gtv handlebars new are £249 for less metal lol..again any cheaper alternatives
Does anyone know of a handlebar clamp that might fit so I can use different bars..
Can you shorten the shocks to lower the front end or longer rears..
Anyone fitted a belly pan !!.
Two minds on paint..keep it black with racing decals or a Italian ww2 camouflage scheme..
