Ok time to add more to this blog about my new build.

It's a Suzuki GN400 brat style.

This is the motor that I picked up for £150 complete, I was assured it runs well but will only know when I get it in the frame and fire it up.. fingers crossed it will be ok.

One of the issues I have it that I want to run my bike on 12 Volt electrics as most modern lights require it. The GN400 is on 6Volts. Having done some reading I could change the coils but for the moment I am going to leave them as is. The bike is kick start and I will only be using the power to run the lights so I am going to make a new loom and fit a 12v micro lipo battery with new rectifier. Once the bike is up and running I will see what voltage is being pushed out to the charging circuit, chances are it will be enough to keep the battery topped up.

This is a very rough mock up of the frame and tank, frame is a US import as is the swing arm, from info that's out there and looking at pictures the rear shocks are slightly more upright than on UK versions which is more the look I am going for. Tank is off a BSA D1/D3 it will need some modifying to let it sit properly.

This picture shows a mock up with the rear swing arm and back wheel, I have since found a brand new front and back wheel and changed the seat loop to a straight one.
 
 

Well here is my first blog post.

My plan is to build a GN400 brat style bike. This will be my second build my first being a Honda CBR 400 NC23. See pics below :-).

I have started collecting parts for my build as I have struggled to find a complete bike.

I will add some pictures of the build as it goes along, first job will be motor refurb. I have spent a couple of hours today de shitting the motor I have bought, it looks to be in decent condition, fingers crossed I don't have to strip it..
