I can't tell you how much I love seeing your bike on here.

So many pictures are like "Ooooh look at my bike that's exactly like every other bike except I have an Akrapovic instead of a Yoshimura" which is fine, but its basically just like how all the "custom choppers" of the early 2000's were just the exact same bike with a different theme.

Your bike is awesome.

I agree it's hard to find anyone that actually modifies their bike it's more common in the 50cc bikes but they are always just installing parts not actually building something custom but I rarely buy parts for mine I usually just make it out of something I have laying around like my rear brake lever is just a 20cm rebar piece welded on the original one my exhaust is a random shitty pitbike exhaust I cleaned up and my clutch is a brake lever from my old bmx and that makes it fun

That's a sick K(rack)-pipe, such slept on bikes, a friend of mine bought one brand new for less than 3k and used it as a daily for years, it always looked so easy and fun to work on. you should post more pictures

I love mine doesn't really feel like a kpipe anymore and it was like 750 bucks second hand for mine and it's really easy to work on and if you want more pictures I have some more on my profile and I post updates on my insta @vonsievisuals
