Hi guy's. I planned to do a big write up on this but now i know how to do photos on this. i thought a massive photo dump will tell the story better
I found it in this condition in my good friends shed he said "If you get it running you can have it" It wouldn't start for him. i looked over it to find that the vacuum hose from inlet to fuel sender was missing. Took a bit of washer jet hose off my car. Put some fresh fuel in. A few kick starts later it was running! My friend couldn't believe it. He stayed true to his word and from that afternoon it was mine. Tho not in a legal sense... more on that in abit...
My son and i set to stripping it down
Blasted and zinc primer powder coated
Top coated
The winter evening living room build. New tyres, front fork rebuild, rewrapped wiring loom, all bolts replace with stainless one where possible
Prep for upol raptor coat on plastics
At this point i had done all this work but it still wasn't mine legally. Lots of form filled in and a long...... wait. The V5 came making it mine. Means it could go for it's MOT/road test
Photo from my first days riding.
After a month or so of riding i upgraded to a malossi 70cc cast iron with a 17,5 carb. i am really happy with it now. It's fun to ride and safe to ride. i can keep up and pass town traffic. But it really comes in to it own on the local B roads
That's the most recent photo of it.
If i am to go of a uk base website. This PGO Big Max is the only road legal one in the UK out of 13 knew. The other 12 a SORN off the road and are not to be used on the pubic road.
I am in the process of final fitting a koso temp gauge. I do also keep looking at buying a Yasuni R pipe for it. But the current pipe works fine so we will see. Thank for reading. i hope all the photos come up because all i see at the moment is website code lol. Thanks for your advice on my other post. This sites has been very helpful
