Title: 1981 cw zl pro
Post by: nitrohopper on February 24, 2019, 07:25 PM: Here is my 81 cw zl pro which I have just started to build up with a few bits to try and get an idea of where I am going with this as it's the second earliest bike I own i thought I would build it up the way it may have been back in 81, I have now put the correct blue decals on it ,I have some 7b with acs hubs coming for it I pad I stole of off my wife's Norco to give them a try ,the seat I live but may still change out for another (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190224/3226fb16ab6dbc8a4a7480e2743f52eb.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190224/e8b748bb4144ab842fec6f12b249c6dc.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190224/7b2fceba7097812f93fb6c53404cedad.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190224/77346ca944f7f3a63064029450a147d7.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190224/ce3bd6bd6b37f6cb2358fe27ba6cf0be.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190224/5698d95e18fb29d57114449bdcf6913d.jpg)
