rxtoy Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 So my friend Aaron is a bit of a honda nut (life, scamp, little 2 cylinder truck, S2000, monkey, dax, C90, S600 are all currently in various states of resto) and he's been trying to talk me into sharing his craziness for a while. He was going to check out a dax and C70 the other night and the missus was driving me nuts and I wanted to get out of the house so I went along and ended up owning the C70 for the princely sum of $200. Basically everything was seized, engine won't turn over, both brakes stuck on etc but I've always liked the super Cubs and I wasn't super interested in the stock running gear anyway. So far I've just been stripping everything off and working out a plan for what I want to do with it. Pics More pics and info to come when,photobucket catches up Cheers Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxtoy Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Check out the chain in this pic, it's obvious been sitting for ages Currently completely stripped except the forks, but my phone was full so turns out I wasn't actually taking photos. This is the closest pic I've got. Cheers Matt 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxtoy Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 So plans are still being worked out, I don't actually know anything about motorbikes so there's a learning curve involved. Basically I've just been surfing the net to find details I like then trying to find where to get parts from to do it. Rough plan so far is: Hard tail the rear like this one: Suicide shifter like this one: Exhaust and handlebars like this one: Seat: Forks: I need to find out more about what forks will fit, the top bit is easy to source but shocks and external springs I still haven't come across anything. I'm guessing they're swapped from something else but need to investigate more. Motor will probably be a new Lifan 125, they're cheap and come in black. Might buy a CT110 for wheels/brakes/12V etc but it's still something that can wait until I know exactly what I need. Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.QCR Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Ct110 forks will bolt onto this . A buddy of mine has built a hardtail almost identical to this and made a jig to make more . Loving all your inspiration pics . Check out quake city rumblers on Facebook for more stuff and also jonnys speed shop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxtoy Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Already onto both of those, QCR is where a lot of my original need for something 2 wheeled came from and I love the hell out of the Jonnys Speed Shop turbo cub build. Forks is good to know, that'll make things a bit easier. It's looking like the logical next step is to buy a postie bike and start swapping stuff over. Will see how the bank balance looks this week and resist buying new seat and motor for a bit longer. Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxtoy Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 MKD, I'm in Perth. Motors are pretty easy to find though, so many copies of the honda setup around. I'm actually going to leave the rear fender on until I've worked out if I can get the rear wheel sitting where I want without cutting it off. Are there steel front fenders available? I like the way the front fender matches the back but id rather have steel, my plastic one is proper fucked and I'm thinking powder coating so steel will be easier to get the right colour.

Chris.QCR Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Stoked that your check out our QCR page for inspiration! And yeah the jonnys speed shop turbo cubits gonna be a weapon. Peaks Mopeds in japan are easily my biggest inspiration . Full guards look great . I don't think there are any steel ones for the front . Nothing that couldn't be made tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
