Handclutch, Ignition, New Headlight, Levers, Side
Stand... (May - July 2002)
|
|

With the new engine fitted, the bike ran quite well. The
automatic clutch was not very pleasing, anyway.
Shifting up was no problem, but shifting down was an
adventure...
So I decided to install a "normal"
hand-operated clutch.
The matte-black Headlight was replaced by the same model
in chrome.
The footpeg and side-stand assembly comes from a model
2001 Gorilla. I replaced the rubbers on the footpegs with
22mm Daytona
alloy-footpegs.The original side stand turned out to be
too short for the 4.00-8 tires. So I bought an adjustable
side stand from KITACO,
a very well made and nice-looking part.
The kickstart-lever comes from a chinese CF50
CHALY-Replica. By this special form it avoids collisions
with the exhaust and is much healthier for my right foot
...
The big black knurled handlebar-screws where repalced by
the "Berlin-Special-Screws", thanks to Stefan.
Now the little brute is running awfully nice (in spite of
my weight...)
Christmas will bring a Disc-Brake for the front wheel,
I´m sure....
