oldnrusty Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 So I was thinking about this bike today, and kinda realized Ive taken it all over the place. Brought it from the naki, riden everywhere around Wellington, took it on a 12 day road trip around the whole south island (back on page one, down the west coast up the east), taken it to Napier swap meet and rode it around there,took it to lead foot and rode the drive way and then around the coromandel, Napier1398508_10154107301295725_1716000458829997551_o by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr 10275336_10154107301510725_4184210105935008722_o by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr 1167656_10154107301535725_35488906693152805_o by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrLead Foot20708_930412543669861_6379718394852761152_n by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr1614547_10155180476065725_5731854771390955317_o by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr10887643_10155180527635725_6027201767301334188_o by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr10959915_10155180476105725_2355414841872100978_o by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr10978698_10153170652964218_6005354514345003657_n by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr Riding the drive way10980711_10206122550527929_6248159333276915710_n by Hayden Rowe, on Flickrwhitianga/coromandel10556977_10155180476325725_4582149003031595397_o by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrMakara, Wellington10497948_10154307925465725_8087568625405516817_o by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr DGR10648988_10154673369125725_2121658966448056428_o by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrWell and truely time for a birthday Plus it went to man camp 2016/just a couple of month ago......... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnrusty Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 So after taking it to lead foot, and riding around up there, the motor was struggling to hold onto all of its oilHonda C90 25 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr So for my 30th just been, my misses organized everyone to chip in for a new motor. Thanks to everyone that did, ended up with more than she needed for a 125cc replacement, so upgraded to a 140ccHonda C90 24 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrHonda C90 23 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickrmocked upHonda C90 22 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrHonda C90 21 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrI needed to get the motor in, running and all setup for man camp, Hence the rear shocksHonda C90 20 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrGot a CT110 seat and bash guardHonda C90 19 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrSome fairly aggressive knobbiesHonda C90 18 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrHonda C90 17 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrModified a CT110 rear sheep rack, and decided that the low narrow bars weren't gonna cut the mustardHonda C90 16 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrHonda C90 15 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrSo I templated up this adapter to run a normal set of bars, and then got it water cut out of alleyHonda C90 14 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrHonda C90 13 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrHonda C90 12 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrHonda C90 11 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrHonda C90 010 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickrpretty happy with how it worked out, Still needs abit of a tidy and polish, but worked for man campHonda C90 09 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrWent on a test rideHonda C90 08 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrHonda C90 07 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickrwelded on some extra tube to keep the packs away from the rear wheelHonda C90 06 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrHonda C90 05 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickreven had time to give it all a quick sprayHonda C90 04 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrHonda C90 03 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr Video of man camphttps://youtu.be/cB_ymQVl62g So now that thats done, time to strip it down and tidy it upHonda C90 02 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr Honda C90 01 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr So Im waiting on a whole bunch of parts to come in, but figured I can start cleaning up the frame and what not. I want to run some really big tires, as big as I can without widening the forks, or extending the swing arm, but will mos likely flare the rear of the frame for clearance, If anyone can shed some light on how big I could possible go, that would be a big help in giving me somewhere to start Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Just fitted a 110/90 17 on aarons rear wheel which is stock. Thats as big as you will fit on a stock rear end. Same with the front too. You should do a front end conversion while your at it dude. It transforms the handling of them so much and if you get a ct90 / 110 it bolts on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
