Karrotboy is on a distinguished road
Found in Thailand and brought to life by a Scotsman

After finding this XTX 06 in Thailand I had to bring it to life. That is not so easy with a bike that is not even known in these parts.

But with some advise and information from Kev , Capt Moto and some of your threads, this is what i have managed. Once the parts arrived and mods arrived it only took 3 days to finish....

The only thing left is what to do with the spokes- Paint black or ship some stainless steel ones over??

Some people might say Flat Black is an old idea now but it still looks good and I did that work in one day on the balcony of my appartment. Replacing the plastics would have cost a small furtune in shipping and Laquer needs a more controlled enviroment to get a good finish- I maybe will had some ghost flames next month and will need to add the clear coat to get the best results then.
For now i'm happy
