What have you done to your bike today....
- Thread starter BAD LUCK DUCK
- Start date
Never mind the pink tyres.
Check out the WW1 German flag. Do you reckon Ron's got Duck staying with him? And the pink tyres are like garlic to a vampire to keep Duck away from the Road Star?

I clocked the Kaiserliche Marine ensign before the bike.
I am visualising Ron somewhat differently.

Ron would require $1000's of plastic surgery to be that good looking.
Rumour has it that when he was born. The midwife slapped his dad

Meant to post last night. Got the new tap for the petrol tank and so put the Bullet together again properly and took her out for a spin. The gearbox, with right foot change is 'interesting' and the brakes are scary but it's pretty fun and the adrenaline rush trying to stop with an oncoming car on a single track road is quite something. The only other thing I am going to do to the saddle for the moment is make up a little leather belt to pull the vinyl tight where it goes up from the seat to the hump as it's a little 'baggy' there but will pull in neatly with some belting.

Nice - and that sounds a good solution to get the look you want, reckon it will do it.

I'm going to see if @Ron is selling his cheap now he's got a belt drive.Fitted the Gibidii chain oiler today.......................forgot to buy the bloody 80/90weight oil...oh well sommat to do tomorrow
His Roadstar led me down the rabbit hole of looking at MT01 Yams, same donkey. I do think tho, that I'd rather take a Roadstar and see just how far you could strip it back, flat barred and bordering on flattracked/original Sportster but retaining balloon front tyre (and brakes).

As you've an Irish plate on the bike so no immediate age triggers for most plod if t'were mine I'd take the indicators off. Ran my Z without indicators and got away with it although 'technically' the switchgear shouldn't have been present. My aesthetics, not yours, your bike, not mine
. Tank suits it bloody well mate, I'm looking forward to how you further adjust it to your liking.

I was thinking of at least replacing the indicators with dinky wee one's that I've seen on a few Enfields as the originals are bleedin' huuuugggee! I'm amazed that a bike from India even has Indicators as I've seen footage of folks riding in Indian and indicators seem to be somewhat alien to them as is most of what we would call 'roadcraft' and basic survival skills.

I've also brought one, currently waiting to be fitted to the Bonneville.
You should have made an offer for mine. I can't see it ever being used.

But I didn't want a gay pink one, so I got a grey one to match the Bonneville.
