small steps

worked on my GR650 yesterday.
tried to do some welding for the first time. I made a mess..
still have to lear a lot, haha

tried to fit the new parts to see how they look.
the front mudguard is smaller now
and I'm happy with the length of the rear mudguard in combination with the trimmed sparto rear light.
now I have to finish it all and mount the licence plate.







how I bought it

    It's getting there... you can see the potential. New seat and lose/modify the cover under the same and she'll be looking pretty good!

    Keep up the great work on your blog.

    That's a good looking bike--I mean aesthetically pleasing, visually. You've improved it much over the stock.

    thanks guys!
    @alberto
    I bought the exhaust at http://www.rocket-caferacerparts.nl/


    @ruud
    er is nog niet echt een probleem, ik kan gewoon nog niet zelf lassen en heb in amsterdam geen plek waar ik kan het lassen kan leren. moet het gewoon een paar keer proberen. vrienden hebben een werkplaats in de buurt van utrecht en daar ga ik nu vaak woensdag avond heen maar iets dichterbij zou wel handig zijn.

    @zzchop
    bedankt voor de tip!

    Oeh nice!! How bout that sweet closed rear wheel, still working out a way to fit it?
    I took a welding course in Zaandam, learned a lot but sadly never used it "in real life"... yet.

    I know how to make it fit now but I also need to make and find new spacers, a rear caliper set and a rear sprocket..

    so till then I'll use the original rear rim
