Presenting the first motorcycle of my life

In this post I'm about to reveal details about the first motorcycle of my life. A Honda C70 which is also my first ever project of this scale. Successful or not but it's nearly a little over three weeks since the motorcycle is in my daily use and despite the fact that I am having tough times in controlling....
Okay so today is 26th of May 2017 and my first motorcycle has gone through many changes and it's been nearly 5 weeks since it's been in my use.
Riding motorcycle in Karachi is definitely not easy. People literally drive bluntly in wrong direction in bright day light and right in the presence of Traffic Police, Normal Police who is basically supporter of many crimes and even Rangers who just watch whatever the heck goes around and respond only if there is some high level activity in surrounding areas like high security or some high level officials on the move. Not only the people driving and riding in wrong direction is a big issue, pedestrians are also a big issue in almost all over the city.
Well enough talk about the pathetic traffic and roads let's see
So, this is the motorcycle I transformed into whatever it is presently.
Since long, I am very much interested in cars and bikes of classic looks. Honda 50 is the least expensive of all motorcycles available for daily use or for some fun, exciting restoration and customization projects. CD70 with all its modern technology has no looks. The most people can think of is putting up a crooked up silencer with ear deafening sound or stupid looking LED lights like paindo villagers.
This is typical CD70. It's from Honda. Past few years see entrance of Chinese motorcycles. Most of them are clones or copies of Japanese motorcycles for a less price. Due to readily availability of this motorcycle, it is among the top most stolen or snatched motorcycle in Pakistan. This thing sells for 30000 to 65000 (Chinese and Japanese variants ).
, I bought that Honda 50, was inspired by the work of people around the world. Took few months to gather necessary tools.
