Ranger Cub Page 8

May to October 2024

Well it turned out that the Cub had no major issues through the year. It was used whenever possible and taken to as many shows as possible.

A few changes were made to the Cub during May. The alloy wheels were looking a little shabby, so they were masked up and sprayed bronze. Also an ebay purchase resulted in a set of flames decals along the side. Also I purchased a boot rack and a wicker basket for the rear.

Another purchase was an enclosed "racepod" trailer. This was better for weather protection and had no issues with the third wheel needing support. The plan over the year is to convert it to be used as overnight accommodation when at shows. I'm sure that also having an enclosed trailer will gain me a few more friends that need something moved. ;)

I found that the "Dzus" style fasteners on the rear weren't the best and I decided to swap them out for the small push button types. There is nothing in the boot area I need access to frequently so they work a bit better. The front, at the moment, are still the same.
