PiGLiT Lives!

Postby Stretchy on Thu May 28, 2009 3:18 pm

Well that's the name I have given to my first restoration and have another nearly finished (PiGLiT 2?)

Managed to the get them dated by a local shop and after a few problem at DVLA (HI prefix missed from dating cert and not on Insurance, which I managed to drop anyway) I have an A registration. Since getting it on the road the cush drives dissintegrated and had to drill them out to fit new ones otherwise seems OK, if a bit vibey and slow; gives me a grin to ride it and happy I rescued it from a shed somewhere in Lancashire.

I'm thinking of making the other bike a bit more 'Naked' and disposing of that rather overmanufactued air box / battery holder / mudguard thing anf fitting a K&N, putting a gelcell under the seat and making a seperate mudguard for the shock.

That's my son on the bike, I'm 6'5" and probably look a bit silly!

Watch this space!
