Coming along slowly.

Got a few extra bits and pieces on there..

Hazard tape, then I decided on a better pipe (removed the baffle). Also let it rust up nicely (looks kinda clean in the pics though weirdly enough)
Also got some old school mirrors on there.
And some fork gaiters!


Shes just in with the mechanic atm! Getting the top end looked at (little bit noisy)

Any suggestions on what next? And what do you think? Few mates think i should change the indies but i dont think so.

Cheers dudes. Cool

Sorry for picture quality!

If its a ratbike, then keep it away from mechanics, and let it fester. A ratbike is all about the art of bodging it with what you have to hand, not paying someone to fix it.
Also, needs more dirt. Lots of it. Hazard tape and a gas mask doth not a ratbike make.
