KUNG PAW 2001 KYMCO DINK 150 FROM HAJARBROXX

Gifny Richata of Hajarbroxx Motorcycles has just sent me these pictures of their latest creation. Enjoy!

2001 Kymco Dink 150

    The concept was to build a 80's-enduro-looking scooter. The stock bodywork is entirely replaced with customized one made from iron plates, the frame also had some modifications on the seat part and the swing arm is also extended to almost 10cm. The engine is in stock condition but the piston is replaced with a taller one taken from a Honda. And the carburettor is replaced with a 2-stroke Kawasaki Ninja 150 carb. The wheels are stock but the tires is replaced with fatter ones which fit without modifying the shocks/swingarm. Brakes and discs are stocks, with modified cables due to longer wheelbase length and new bodyworks. The compartment and floor deck are made from alloy to reduce weight, and the exhaust muffler is custom made from stainless steel tube. Other details like the indicator panels and switch housing are custom made from dural alloy.
