    GPX 177 update

    Just thought I would continue the thread that Edog started so that you can see how the bike will be finished. So far I have done the following:

    Trimmed the top off of the front fender (looked to much like it had a beak)
    lowered footpegs and inch
    raised the rear fenders and inch
    tank is off to paint and will have it back this weekend
    Seat is in transit and will be here Friday

    Will have updates this weekend with the new finished pics.

    Oh by the way, this thing flies. Very well built as well... Glad to be it's final owner.

    Sweet! She brings a tear to my eye.

    Did you just added a spacer between the rear seat bracket?

    You start off in second gear?

    1 st was to much when you where turning. It's a torque monster!!!!

    Have you opened it up all the way?

    To answer some questions:

    Will I ride it, probably not a lot. I just like to have stuff. I am more into boats and Harleys. This will make a great conversation peice at the lake house this year.
    A 1" spacer is what I made for the seat latch in the back. It was pretty easy.
    I think I got it up to 60mph or so on the main rode here in MA.
    I readjusted the clutch and I can use the first gear no problem. The clutch was actually slipping when I got it because of the way it was adjusted.

    Anyway, I am glad to have it and will take great care of it.
