This is how it looked like when I got it from LA, and it arrived over here last Friday, nearly finished building it, might even be ready for BOTM

Tyres will be swapped at some point, just got to find some nice originals for it, as I don't mind the tyres on other builds, but these motocross are a yes and no on the motomag

Yes it's a really nice thing that really nice did you get it complete like that or just frame and forks , yes tyres would just finish it  Chang shin c183s or the iirc ones which look similar would look great , the motocross ones would look well if they didn't have the white writing on but it's a minor thing the tyres , got 2 motomag a myself a 79 one and an 80 one
