ED209no Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum, and I would like to ask for help regarding my little "GazGaz" (yes, I call him that :D). Here's some picture of him. I know that some of you will say I've raped the poor little thing, but the reason is that I bought him already stripped down, and iv bad condition. Some earlier owner had flipped it on it's side, and all the plastic was damaged. The owner after that did some modification to it, but it looked horrible. I want to make it into a sort of "Mad Max" bike, and I've gotten somehow a decent job out of it. Still lots to do. This isn't going to be a money pit. I want to get the cheapest parts available. Right now I'm trying to connect a digital instrument to it, but I can't find any wiring diagram that is clear to read. That's why I've joined this forum to see if anyone has a original workshop manual they can scan or take a high res picture of the diagram, and post it here for me. I would appreciate that a huge amount. 🙂 Anyway, hope you like my little GazGaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer bmart Posted February 2, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted February 2, 2022 That's a project! Enjoy it. For a digital meter, is it to monitor system health when riding? I have mine (w/USB charging ports) connected to the battery directly through the charging plug. I just unplug it when I'm home. It has a switch, but that still lets power through, draining the battery. Similar setup on every bike for many years without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeper Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Nice first post. That has a kind of scrambler vibe about it and its kind of cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Wald Posted February 2, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted February 2, 2022 Welcome to the forum! Yes, it definitely looks like Frankenstein had Sex with something?! I think there are better looking mad max options than the fugly gas mask (looks like army item from the 80ties) in front, otherwise, cool! Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted February 2, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted February 2, 2022 I'm not sure I can be of any help, but I would like to say that I'm digging the vibe of the gas mask headlight! Definitely not something you see everyday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I chose the wrong word. 😄 All the original instruments was part of the original fairing, and I didn't get those when I bought the bike. So I had this digital instrument laying around that I was supposed to use on another rat-bike projekt earlier. It went to sh*t because it was in a worse condition than this one. 🙂 But it was nice of you to reply on my first post with a good tip. Thank you.

I want to get a bigger rim on the front wheel and put on either dirt or enduro tires. I've already made a passenger seat that i mount a little more up and back. This will make the passenger see over my head as I lay forward. Cosmetic will come as I go. Will try making it look more "mean" in the future. 🙂 Thanks for your reply.

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder or something like that. I wanted to get those old Sovjet gas mask, the ones with a hose connected in the front. But couldn't find it in black, only gray/green. And those was only made out of rubber. The one I've mounted is plastic, and is meant to be used for paintball/softgun. 🙂 The bike isn't meant to be a beauty. It's meant to look mean. 😄 Thanks for replying on my post. Ps. The gas mask is giving the bike it's name, GazGaz. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I can make people happy. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
