Thanks, I've had enough cars and bikes to have surpassed most trends and desires. If you like something then just do it and enjoy it, too many people waste their time researching on the internet and never cracking on and just enjoying it.
Accessories in Vietnam are shockingly limited. Either the most tasteless tat you can imagine (tin engine covers, overly fake cheap exhausts, led/hid light kits) or blisteringly expensive equally tasteless shit (gold plated billet CNC handlebars).
Ironically a lot of parts that destined for the UK that come from China are more expensive to cross the border to Vietnam. I have ordered a few bits for other bikes I built here for fun but I won't bother doing that again. There are shops in Thailand which will ship to Vietnam, however customs here are a bit 'dodgy' at the best of times
I was looking at the 164cc kits but I know it won't be enough for what I would want... I'm more drawn towards trying to fit a turbo. That and dual disk front end and disk brake rear, probably use parts from a Yamaha Majesty/SH300.
I'm moving house in the next few weeks so once we've done that and settled in (and I've sold some of my other bikes) I'll begin part collecting.
More pictures as promised of the fabled LED lights... (sorry for the bad quality, it was raining-but dedication huh!)
