My 2004 Dakar is complete and she is looking very sexy.

Let's take it step by step.

I bought the bike through Gumtree last year at a very reasonable price and spent quite a bit of fixing it up to original condition.  I had to put on new mirrors, headlight shroud, Dakar brake lever, New clutch lever, original indicators and fix up the paint job.

But 18months later, and I couldn't sell this little bike, which has this way of growing on you.  So I decided to bling her a little, and I loved Michnus' thread about his conversions on his Dakar.  So I followed suit.  With the help of Michnus to get the stickers, and The_Wes who did some custom designing for me...... a new era started for my little commuter.


Here is the original bike as I bought her.
