Fuck Iserbil! There's nothing left of it! Haha.  And yeah I thought a nice deep gloss black would look awesome! Red is way to common. But it is because its the natural colour of it. Either way I think it will look relaly nice. You've done all the hard work now. Getting that sprayed up etc is easy-ish. Then you got to put it all back together! Haha. Getting all the chrome parts back to shining glory will look so nice too. I still think a nice black gloss and chrome though.  |

Yeah, Iserbil is a talented guy. You should see the Honda Shadow he has. There's a blog for that too. Saw an old wicker chair with metal legs and built a highway bar out of it. Looks amazing! You would never guess it was some old chair. |

yeah, been thinking of buying a pit bike engine, but i kinda want it to be orginal , or almost orginal... cause if i want speed i can just take the 125 for a spinn.. but... iv been sanding a bit .pics from last weekend,... forgot them , also thinking of taking a trip to the garage tonight.. anyways, this is the parts that i have sanded down and they are ready for primer and then paint  this is the parts that i have to sand down, + the footshield you see it in the right bottom corner...  also sanded the frame a bit more...  lets hope i got the time/enough power to take a trip to the garage and work some more |

sooo.. I dunno what to do with the bike :/ rat it or make it orginal? if i make it orginal, its only gonna be used a coupple of times in the summer and no offrad, less joy if i "rat" it, or make it look kinda like a army bike i would fit offroad tires, paint the wheels black, praint the bike gray/green/black and add some storage, and i could use it off road and in the winter time, we got 6 months of winter here and i dont want to use my Honda Shadow on snow, so i sort of want a bike that can be used on snow aswell, and its a bit risky taking a 100%orginal and restored Cub on snow and ice.... so wahts your opinion? orginal or rat? wit rat its also less work...  or  |

i was thinking more like orginal coulors, or almost orginal, maybe a bit more "fancy"red 
was missing 3 of the 4 nuts and had only 2 bolts
