New member (Innova)

[PeteM]

Hello all,

So, after much faffing about (C90/CT/Thai Cub/old CB/Varadero/Shadow) I´ve recently picked up a 2005 Innova. I´ll have many annoying questions and great plans for the bike. First it shall be fitted with a massive front fairing, possibly a Gläser as there´s a cheap one for sale near me. Then, I´ll get another copy and transform it into a recumbent luxury tourer for glamping. There´ll be some welding involved. I´ve never really welded before unless one counts metalworking class in primary school some three decades ago. Well, how hard can it be?

I´m based in Flanders and my favourite colour is matte Soichiro-san shirt red. Even though I lived in the UK for years football leaves me baffled. What else can I say. Oh, this is my first motorbike. Well, how hard can it be?

I´m off now to be a good boy and read old threads. I have a copy of Haynes on order. Very exciting, my first post-Brexit order from Blighty. Let´s see if it ever arrives.

Hi welcome ,we seem to be having a few Innovas around at the moment . There is an article on streamlined Innovas on here and member Hightechpete has a recumbent bike ,is the glasser heavy ? and it would be wise to get some one to weld for you for your own piece of mind .

Yeah just finished reading Hightechpete´s thread. Very interesting indeed. I have a two-wheeled recumbent bicycle and had this idea when I spotted a bare frame Innova in a local scrapyard.

I do know a professional welder.

Link to the article?
