Title: MRD Badlander rethink.......
Post by: bigfatolly on July 01, 2012, 11:04 PM

Following on from Kappys Badlander thread i thought i would share my black Badlander again.

I built it originally as a bit of a showbike didnt even tighten everything up properly ,couldnt get the front brake working properly and never rode it.

I fell out of love with it a bit and thought i might split it up and flog it on.

I then saw Spens with spoke wheels and thought i might have a change.

I had some unbuilt mike buff zeds in the shed,built them up a while back,changed the tech 3 levers to white ACS freestyle levers,sorted the front brake issues and built it back up properly and tightened everything up ready to ride.

I am now back in love with it again and will not be getting rid :daumenhoch:

I cant believe how different it looks just by changing the wheels and brake levers,so much better now :daumenhoch:

Well that's a thousand times better now isn't it?

Promise me if you're ever going to ride it you'll burn those clown tyres and get something safer though......

yup better with the bendy rims , :daumenhoch:  maybe try a black set ? 

 would loose the flex fighter too, looks naf just m,o, though , bars would line up with the seat better ready for the quick spins, although you've taken the tuffs off so thery will be harder to do ................ :LolLolLolLol:
