Hi Guys, 

 

Pretty new to the bike/moped game but i am already hooked! 

 

Started off with this little 87 FA50 i brought at the start of the year

It did me well and i rode it to work most sunny days, but just didn't quite have the top end i was after
 
So sold the Fa to the mrs and brought this of a fellow oldschooler "Rob"

as per tittle its a 1970 C50
 
It has been retrofitted with  an unknown 90cc engine (4 speed manual), has a top end of around 75km at the moment.
 
has been converted to 12v aswell
 
Paints in pretty poor condition and few things missing but it seems like a pretty honest bike.

Took it for a run up the port hills on Saturday, hauls up the hills   :P

Plan is to figure out what the engine is in it, Chop it up,  paint it and ride it

Any body done a similar conversion?

Cool project dude.

Haven't seen anyone fit pit bike forks to a c50. I've got ct90 forks on my c50. Bolt on conversion.

Throttle assembly should be picked up off trade me. Just type in pit bike throttle assembly. Will the 17" c50 wheel fit in the pit bike ? Or are you runnin the pit bike front wheel ?

They are more or less a bolt on aswell, everything matches up as far as i could tell from testing it out this weekend, The pit bike wheels where 17's as well so the original C50 should fit in there just fine! 

 

The are off one of these http://galleryplus.ebayimg.com/ws/web/181173935501_1_0_1/1000x1000.jpg

 

even have the little expansion chamber exhaust, its odd as they are a 4 stroke so not sure why they have the expansion chamber.... might try fit it see what i looks like....

 

Yea, that was my first thought about the throttle assembly but i didn't know what the OG C50 is set up like (only thing i didn't end up looking at in the weekend) has it just got the standard cylinder thing on the end of the wire that will be universal to other set ups?

the stem plate off a ct90 fits with a bit of tinkering - check out the 'zero bucks cub' from chalopy, that shows how he did his one - or im sure the qcr boys have a few ideas.

 

search chalopy for ct90 and it comes up
