Months went by, Born free 8 had passed and my bike still wasn't running
The frustration led to a parts binge and eventually working on the damn thing
I mounted a slim tank from tc bros along with a brat kit drop seat
The angle I had made my previous drop seat was too steep and short although I did like the way it looked
I also got around to replacing the original battery with a lightweight gel shorai unit, it still amazes me how small and light it is compared to the stock one
I chopped an old fender up that I got from a swap meet
Made a sissy bar
Got some struts to hard tail it
Re laced the front and back wheels with some new stainless spokes from mikes xs
And replaced all the stock bearings
New tires and she's almost ready for some head scratching fun
