    Originally picked this bike up to be a short distance commuter.
    Then decided to make it a campground bomber / mini adventure bike.
    I wanted something smaller in order to fit on my old VMI trailer.

    Now that I have a larger trailer I can finally bring my quad with me so this bike has literally just been collecting dust... considering selling it now to upgrade my quad situation.






    BUILD SHEET

    ARB Intensity 7" LED light - flood pattern
    * mounting brackets were random pieces I had laying around the garage that I was able to manipulate enough to work (powder coating coming soon)​

    Renthal handlebars

    Maxxis M6024 offroad tires

    Dual underbody exhaust

    Removed all the turn signals, fender eliminator etc to clean up the overall look.

    **********

    Sold this ol' girl unfortunately... on to the next build, something a little more family friendly.
