Restoring the authority of a motorbike that has not been used for a long time, this motorbike has not been used for almost 6 years and this time the motorbike will be reused by bringing a concept that does not return to the standard, this motorbike will be custom made into a chopper motorbike that uses the default engine c70.

The chassis of this motorbike looks all rusty, but it hasn't gotten too bad, things like this are very easy to treat or avoid, unless you live near the beach, all drugs will give up, let alone mechanics.

This motorbike was used by people who are really old or the grandfather of the current owner, so those who want to modify this motorbike are the grandchildren of the original owners.

the condition of the legs is very severe and there are some parts that have rusted to the point of breaking and some are stuck and cannot be opened unless they have to get help from a welder, the worst condition is the ARM part which has broken due to rust, and conditions such as This is not a recommendation to be welded or reused for any reason.

the second worst part is the backrest, which is bent and stuck because the axle inside is rusty, the only way to remove it is by burning it using a carbide welding machine, there is no doubt about the other legs with a motor like this.

This motorbike was used only for gardens and fields and very rarely washed, so it resulted in some parts rust and corrosion, it is clear that this motorbike has never been treated, the shock part which is made of stainless only can rust and break.

when a motorcycle has parts made of stainless rust and corrosion, it can be ascertained that the motor is very far away with water and soap.

I don't know if the grandfather of the owner of this motorbike is a racer or not, the brake pads fall off like this, the most common cause if the brake pads come off, the motorbike is most likely often in a flooded area or often parked under rain water. conditions like this are not due to friction or knocks that are felt but because they have been submerged in water for too long so that the brake lining rods are rusty or chalky.

I only took photos of the new ARM, the new arm I'm using here is an arm made in the black market or counterfeit, so it's highly likely that the arm will corrode, bend, and even break.

this arm does look very good but the material of manufacture is really not of good quality at all, this arm had to be bought because this is the only one available in spare parts shops in my area, this arm will not be used for more than a month we are waiting for the arm order from outside the area
