Hey NEV,,,, aye, i seen them. Ta for looking though.

I also found a website where you can buy every single part for these wee bikes that you want.

I'm thinkin of buying a new exhaust and new plastic's,,,,,, mainly because the plastic's are cheeper to buy than a tin of paint to spray my own ones, but even if i do ill still be giving them the chop to the way i want them.

Lol, not wanting to teach ya ta suck eggs or owt Pat, but arent you doing up bike for a young 'un? new panels.is that wise? probably buy new panels, aye lol ,but bang old ones back on for a couple of weeks at least. it's horrible to see a grown man cry lol

I know what ya mean NEV

I'm not actually doing it up for my wee one,,,,, i just deceided i would do it up for the craic,,, dont know why,,,,just didnt want to see it being thrown away.

Whatever i do with it, or whoever gets it im sure all my hard work will be ruined prity quickly by some youngfella going nuts and then dropping it on the street at the front door. But anyway not to worry,,,, while i have it,,it will look good and thats all that matters to me.

Well I reckon a 4ft fishtank, upside down,would make a cheap showcase for it, you got an alcove it would fit in? lol

and what will he do with all them poor fishes, all flapping around in his front room,

NEV; you can be so cruel at times.

Coming along pat,," what you clean the engine with?

My nephew had a 50cc bike...

It never ran properly to begin with, the chain and sprockets broke, the frame then snapped in two and the bike fell to bits.

Its was chinese...

better photography pat, not perfect, just better,

i suggest you keep it naked, them old plastics look tacky.

hey morph, my lad had a yamaha pw50, it never broke down and never fell apart :spin2:
