Yet another angle on the shift linkage I modified to fit around the rubber motor mount. I found someone to weld the piece I need, so it should be good once I get it back.

Here is another attempt to show the shift linkage. It is still difficult to see. The picture on the right is a comparison with the stock shift linkage.

Final Version


Here she is in her final glory. I went with the stock color scheme except for the decals that go on the gas tank. I dont really like the way the big yellow stripes look so I kept it simple. I will try to take some better pics later.

The front fender was big fat chrome one for the stock version. I changed to a fiberglass painted fender. The stock one was beat up and rusty and I like the looks of this better.















A big change that I had to have someone else do the welding for, was rubber engine mounts. The picture on the right shows the new mount. I also had to modify the shift linkage to fit around the new rubber mount in the rear of the engine.

First modifications
















Here are two of the first modifications. I replaced the turn signals front and back. ThenI installed a front brake from EX 500 and mounted it on back side of fork. Can't see it but I also changed the chain size down to a 520 from the stock chain.

The inside look to the transmission.
