Just purchased my first C90. It's a 2001 reg with that horrible square headlight that I'm planning on chopping down into a streetcub. Although, with my mechanical know-how being pretty poor (I'm a desk job guy) I've made little progress in the 2 weeks I've had it. So far, all I've got around to doing it taking the rear mudguard off and fitting some new rear lights (as the last one got broken in transit).
Here's some pics of how it's going so far (sorry that they're Instagram photos but I don't have a photo sharing account)
How it arrived to me ... 12,000 miles on the clock which I was pretty happy about.
Took the leg-guards off to give the engine a look over with a mechanic friend of mine.
Taking off the mudguard and changing up the light ... all the wiring was such a mess I ended up having to strip it down and solder it back together - luckily, soldering is something I was particularly good at back in my school days.
How it's currently looking.
Ideally, I'd like to replace the air filter to a little cone filter so that I can mount the speedo in the guard where the air filter currently sits, then I can strip down the handlebars to a pair of mountain bike bars, get little bar-end indicators and then spray the whole thing flat black. A fair amount of work but it's fun to work on and I've needed a hobby project for a while.
And now to the begging part - Does anyone know where I might be able to get a nice circular front headlight to sit on the front forks and a mounting bracket for new bars?
(London location would be ideal)
Cheers,
