The Scrambler

Hello!  I am new here. Live in Sweden, so excuse my bad English.

The bike is from 95 and i owned it for 3 years now.
I race Endurobikes and wanted something more of a road bike,
but found out that the LS is a little slow and small for semester runs.
So the best thing to do is to bring out the angel-grinder...

Rear wheel is now 18" (Stock drum)
Swingarm is modified to fit the new cool tyres.

Gastank is from an old Swedish bike from hte 50´s.

Front end is lowerd 2"

Rear shocks is abut 2" longer.

Frontlight is a 4" converted to a H4 lamp.
I was lucky to find the protective net for it.

YOur English is fine. Its even okay if you grind on angels.,the bike kicks butt,,
Now,
What does it weigh with all the trimming done?

Is the wheelie a power wheelie or did you pop the clutch?

Have you got a dyno available?

How does it handle with knobby tires? Are you really playing in the dirt?

( Sorry if those arent knobby tires, one pic sure looks like it,, )
OHH, Yea, more pics, please,, without a leg in the way,, I want to see the carb/air cleaner/battery box set up..)

Glad to have you here..

Awesome build. Love the build. Don't see too many with the "brat" style seat/hoop setup.
What are your tire sizes?

That is super nice! I love the pic of you pulling a wheelie.

If you haven't used a water bottle as a gas tank at some point, you're doing it wrong. Grin
