Tarty bits?

Ok, I own an MZ ETZ 125, it's not quick and it's not pretty, but for the forseeable future it's my pride and joy.

I just wonder what I can do to tart it up a bit. The first thing I want to do it take the rack off and respray it as there's a bit of rust on it.

I'd like to change the bars cosmetically and the levers need re-spraying, and the speedo/rev meter could look better.

If this was a sports bike I could think of a million things to do to tart it up. i.e anodized bits, tarty master cylinder like I saw in the newest fast bikes magazine (very very nice) etc.

anyone got any effective tarting up tips?

Well MZ's Strokers don't do tarty, and as they say why polish a turd Razz

.

Just ride it and don't worry what it looks like, or buy an RS125 if you want tarty Razz

Or go for the police bike look :-

Or leave the bike as-is and start wearing flares :-

Your one IS tarty as MZs go. Keep riding it and be thankful it isn't a trophy.

Or you could make a race replica.

This has the same engine as yours!

But I always liked the trials type styling
