Finally got the engine mounted and the bike up and running. Started easily, and sounded good, and the white smoke from before seemed to be gone, at least when it was idling. When it was running however, the story seemed to be another one.Then it would smoke a bit again, even though not as much […]
After quite a few years in the making, my little RestoMod is now complete. I bought the first parts roughly 15 years ago, and stored it in boxes for the next 12. First 3 years ago, I actually started working on it. As you can see, the time frame taken into consideration, I haven’t been […]
Despite the fact that I haven’t even ridden the bike just once, I’ve just replaced the aluminum side emblems. While working on it in the shed, it was located on a table right in front of a big window, causing the emblems to fade quite a bit. Armed with goo remover, some dental floss and […]
Finally got around to install the Over Racing exhaust, GP Performance Titanium. Surely I could have settled with less, but I simply couldn’t get my eyes off this thing.

Just a little picture to show you how the bike is looking, – or at least how it looked a few weeks back. Chain and seat has been installed since then, updated pictures will follow soon.
The new parts arrived and I couldn’t be happier. Ordered a G Craft adjustable side stand, and the best of all; a GP Performance exhaust from Over Racing, all made in titanium. Is this needed for a 49cc stock engine? Definetely not. Did I still want it? Yes! Pictures down below for your convenience, it […]
