Modifying Bluey in Kampot

Kampot was a good size town where I could get modifications done on Bluey to my desire. I finally replace the flimsy bracket with a big plate making the back cargo box now ready for any type of dirt rocky roads ahead. 

Although there was a good number of motorbike shops around Kampot, it was still quite a challenge to get the modification done to my requirement since communication is super difficult with the locals with language barriers.

I had to act out everything that I needed to modify the bike going around the shops, picking out parts of scrap metals, pointing at the tools they have to cut, file, fit and finally weld in place a new support bracket. 

All this done and I did not even negotiate the price beforehand because it was impossible to get a quote for a work they have no idea what they were soppose to do. After all work was done, USD10 was the quoted price but it was worth it.
