Looks so much nicer in person... Really has that 90s yz feel

Whacky colour mix

@Calum probably like Marmite some for people, but I'm daring, it will all make sense when finished.
Thanks, where to? Be good to pull in some newbies

on sunny days will get a nice ride
Problems with a 25year old bike is not all parts are available anymore,
Thinking of getting an enduro / laner that can be plastered on mud and dropped and banged hha -

You are right get a second bike to be used and abused and leave the restored classics as eye candy!!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :winking_face: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Had a little play this evening.
Whacked on a few bits.
Ordered up a little bracket that was missing what's needed to mount the rad scoops, could have made something but it was £7 new
