Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

you have a heck of a lot of work to get done there ,
i wish you luck,

how comes you brought a brand new pm?
have you stated looking at getting new pans and sorting the worn bits etc?


i don't understand how all Ciaran bikes look like they were once an Afghan rebels daily commute!?.

the boys meant to be a stunter so it will probably want new forks etc?

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

----------------------- Update 04/09/09 ------------------------

Had to take the engine out again and re-do the Gaskets on the bore as it woz leaking, Not to sure wot its called but the black bit thats sits on top of the head and bore needs replacing and i need 2 get a new O-ring gasket for the head.

Engine on Its Way out


After i got the Engine out, OOOOOPPPPPPPSSSSSS


Re-doin the Bore and Checking the Gaskets


As it Stands now


Ive finally decided wot paint job im goin wiv now, im gonna take it bk to its former glory wiv the Half White - Half Black Paint Job wiv Evo Panels

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

The PM is still about, aint got the engine bk in yet, i might b sprayin the pipe as i dont want it rusting and the wheels will b off soon 2 b powder-coated :mrgreen:

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

dont spray it just keep on top of it pal. vht pm's or any pipe for that matter i reckon look .... CRAP

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

James man this bike needs panels or a spray up. Should have got it looking a little better before shelling out on a PM? Each to their own tho, I know the Pms got you grinning

Do the panels man, and wax that bloody pink VW Polo lol

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

don't do the scarface paint job man! its tacky.

and have you seen Ciaran bikes!?,

they dont have any former glory!! :lol: .

its in major need of a revamp over every thing else.
the engine is black with more grime then a west wood tv youtube set.
the wheelie bar really needs to go as it looks like crash damage.
and a set of pans should be top of the list.

if your have the patience, dedication and £££ then this could be a real nice bike.

the pm is nice i just don't think any one should line that company's pockets with their hard earned when theirs so many good condition 2nd ones about.
