So I'v got myself a nice little back up bike for £290 on the road which is pretty cheap as I have seen these CG's going for £700 on ebay.


Now the real work starts, do not know what mods to do to it. Im thinking giving it a nice change of colour to metallic blue with black saddle bags?!?!?!?!

This is a good cheap project bike which happens to be on the road.

Thoughts?

yeah, what joe said

I found it in the free ads mate, was up for £250 but i was like narrr £200 cash now and the bloke was happy with it.

rides really well, forgot how much fun a little cg can be. feels nice to know I have a back up bike if my XR fails on me or gets nicked.

What about looking in the breakers and seeing if you can get a set of forks and front wheel off a later disc-braked model?

I suggest you dont go to mad and ruin a great little bike


I`m not jealous in the slightest

I will have full motorcycle licence as of May if that is the test which you are talking about :-p I could of got a "bigger" bike near two years ago but never felt the need.

My XR has been an amazing bike to ride and own!

I'd rather have a car than a CBF500, just as dull but with the addition of a roof and a heater.

CB125 CDI unit to let it rev.
Little porting work and the baffles out the exhaust... maybe cut the end off to make it look more like an old fasioned magaphone.
Then...
Old School Cafe Racer... small ali mudguards, ace-bars, rounded triangular side-panels and long oval tank with a rubber stap doen the middle.
Round headlamp with perspex flyscreen
Maybe a new front wheel with larger drum brake from something like a CD200?
Bum-stop saddle....
Rear-sets.
taking mechanical mods a bit further, thicker forks, and some rear shcoks with damping in them!
