Hey y'all,
So maybe not a complete 'atrocity' then?
Thanks again for the tips, however, the mounts for the front fender have been cut off (as I'd seen done on larger bikes) my thought being if forks can hold the power of those without a brace, with the (lack of) power of this little thing they shouldn't budge? Is it that the smaller bikes will have disproportionately smaller/weaker forks and always need that support? Or is just that it's 'better' with a brace in there?
As for my spray painting, the frame was going to be sprayed black anyways, and if all y'all are worried bout is it flaking off, I can deal with that. Haha it was a corner that was cut due to lack of confidence in my ability to get an engine out and back in again. With what I've learnt on this project that would be task i feel I could tackle next time round.
Feel free to let me know if there is anything else 'deadly' that I've missed. My wife wasn't happy about me getting a bike in the first place, she'll be real pissed if I die. haha
