My newly refurbished/renovated china bike

Hallo.
I just wanted to show what i have spendt the past year of my sparetime on. It is almost 100% done. Got it cheap back in feburary last year for 152$/140EURO and i might have spended around the double of that amount for the refurbishing.

I am happy about the result, and now i have a cheap good looking bike for my first summer on an MC, starting on MC driving license next month! :)

THe bike is FYM and the model is FY125-3A

EDIT: To bad this forum dosnt scale down the pictures.

Knowing the prices in Denmark for everything on wheels, I'd say they did a decent job for a bit of money. If the bike runs as it should, you can not be dissatisfied.

It looks like you had fun!
I dont like the clocks and headlight but i guess its just a matter of taste

Thank you.
Yea its expensive in Denmark. I bought a Renault Twingo 1.2 new last year, its a small minicar with no power. If i lived in the US, i could drive a newer super car same price LOL!

The clocks and headlight are the original. I am keeping the clock, thoght its a little big, but it has all its features and works. I am looking for a new headlight that is round instead of squarer.

Originally, it has this shield around the clocks and lamps, but i removed it, since it looks better in my opinion. More ''young'' sporty and street bike alike. See how it was before in this picture.Attachment 17074

And then now, didnt have any proper front pictures yet, these the best i could find.

The tyres these chinese bikes comes with from the factory are dangerous.

There is likely a real nice set of round meters and a headlight buried in Taobao.

Fork boots would be a nice detail.
