Pure class man good work! The seat and tank work great together, as does the curve on those bars. Is the frame up for it?

[moilami]

Awesome. I am too jealous of your skills

That's the spirit, restore a bike yourself.

Just in case you all thought this thread was dead :) The bike is pretty much perfect now, I took it on a trip up to Huizhou last week and it performed perfectly! Top speed according to the GPS was 117.6 km/h which is pretty good! It felt solid at max speed and with some changes to the gearing I think I'll get her over 120 no problem.

I'm still not sure how far I can get on a tank of petrol, but so far I've ridden over 200kms on a single tank without hitting the reserve (so far 206, as soon as it hits reserve I'll let you all know).

I'm uploading a video of Beer-girl starting it as we speak, I'll start a new thread entirely about the new bike once the video is up.

I'll also upload the part 3 and 4 of the build to youku, they're already on YouTube and have been for weeks :P

Here's a picture of what she's looking like now:

Where is the seat from is it a DCC universal fit? Looks cool, all looks very cafe racer. The local fashion scooter and motard Jialing JH125 crews will be crestfallen when they realize it's just a regular Chinese bike and a Laowei with a sense of style and a bit money!

Looking forward to part 3 and 4 of the build!
