When the spring is lowered like this, it hits the frame when i take a left turn, any solutions on that? a3aan fix a route to work that only takes right hand turns I think there is a kit you can get for this but not 100%. Failing that cutting out a small piece of the leggies to accommodate.

One off the really early models and it's mine and it was cheap! Very rough shape but my brother will try and make it straight and smooth as butter! Very happy and excited! In my opinion there was alot wrong or not right with the old frame, so let's do it right this time A3aan

It fell of a balcony, so the front end is off centre by about 1,5-2 centimeters, there is a big hole in the rear pannel, the floor and frontshield are bent, but apart from that it looks amazing! And I just love the model! it's one of the really early ones, and it was dead cheap at 75,- euro (60 pound or something). any tips and or tricks on making the frame straight again? any jig/setup pictures? a3aan

Modified the v50 steering cover. Got the teflon bushes for the steeringhouse. Got a longer clip on for the clutch side. Test fitted the front fender, it still needs some cutting and modifying. It Has alot of fitment issues with the lowerd suspension. But I 'll figure it out I guess.

Nope I won't Welds are super ugly. The tubes around the frame are done very poorly. The frame is not smooth and the paint is blend... The radiators are not in line at all. The engine mounts are out off line. And I just love the new 50L! a3aan

I did like the tubing on frame, it just bend so easy. The new frame is Nice.

Nice new frame. I'm interested in the bubble and horncover if you are planning on selling them.
Groeten,
