Hey Dave. Welcome.

You need to have a plan about what you want to accomplish before you take on a project like that.

The world is filled with innumerable incomplete and neglected "bobber" or "streetfighter" projects because their owners lacked the vision necessary to push through to completion.

You can make a custom bike as simply or as complicated as you like.
For exmaple, on the GZ, simply removing the back seat, shaving down the rear mud guard, relocating the licesnse plate, removing the front fender, and getting lowered handlebars will give up a more more lean look - and that doesn't require any frame modifications and very little change to the stock bike, should you want to to sell it later and retain some value.

Thanks jonathan so far I have modified the carburetor (needle and jet from 125 and filter k & N).
I could put a bigger jet but it satisfies me so and the candle HAS A BEAUTIFUL COLOR.
I mounted a skid plate, saddlebag support, round black aluminum footpegs, aluminum knobs and chrome front brake reservoir cap.

I bought a spring saddle with bracket ... but I have to modify and adapt it (there is some work) and the handlebar straight :-)

Bike's looking great!

what happened in the accident?

People often overlook them, but crash bars will save not only the motor casing, but most of the bike as well.

_Nothing of that ... a car cut me off the road.Luckily I had a paramotor:ride::ride::ride:

Last modification ... but I know that I have to raise the handlebars more:doh:1245

Good news is that risers are pretty easy to find for these bikes!

Good start. Are you planning on chopping the fenders?
