It's been a long time since I posted any updates in the original intro thread, so I thought I'd start a new one.
The bike has a name now, which is Clementine in honor of my son Clement who was born a month before I bought the bike.
This is how it looked when I bought it:
It looked like it was in a good shape at a first glance but turned to be a big mess later. Had a lot of electrical parts from soviet cars, poorly fabricated and welded parts.
These were the first steps:
The front bottom part of the frame is completely new as the original was twisted and welded under a weird angle.
Swapped 16 rear wheel for a 18 one. Both front and rear rims where drilled. It now has K81 Dunlop tires, 410 rear and 425 front but I'll be soon ordering a 425 for the rear as well.
The bike is kick only with all the electrics hidden under the seat.
Tank is stock but has been slightly modified. It now has an HD sportster cap in the middle.
