Fuuuuuuuck yes, best colourways all round as well holy balls.

Why the false floor? Carpet/seats etc all look really tidy. could just throw a mattress in and roll?

Wait wut? Mate the issue is at your end haha. I see tyres!

Thanks for the advice, I've got a flasher unit on the way now thankfully.

Have checked the wiring multiple times over & fairly certain everything is connected properly. What you said sounds right re. the indicators and ground though. Wondering if the switches could also be a source of my problems. Have cleaned them out but who knows.

Tried two coils but no spark. New condenser + rectifier as well.

Going to try a third coil when it arrives, hopefully that sorts spark issue because the wiring passed my basic continuity tests hah.

Auckland's a great place to live you know, many bargains to be had.

(Above statement is in no way biased by a desire to have it solved for me)

Still being a pain, rewired with NOS loom, fucking park light is always on, no indicators, no spark, I'm now cross eyed from staring at the wiring diagram for hours, about to burn the whole bloody thing to the ground.

Thanks for that. Will keep trying with the 6v for a little while longer but at least I know there are other options now.

Don't mind cert, if the process is a bit longer then so be it. I've replaced most bits on the bike anyway. As long as I don't get flat out refused.

Dredging this up from the dead,

Anyone have experience putting a motorbike through a revin with an aftermarket engine?
The s90 (90cc) is giving me grief to no end, if I get it running with stock engine then cool, otherwise will be putting in a 155cc running 12 volt (will happen eventually anyway).

No frame mods are required, and I suppose I could file off the displacement casting. But it's quite obviously not a honda motor and anyone with eyes can spot that.

Would it still be able to be vinned as an s90? Many hoops to jump through over the standard procedure?

There is record of previous registration on their system, but only with a chassis number.

Oh sweet, if you've got the kit and a hand go for it. Will be watching for sure.

Keeping the paint as is? What was factory colour?

Don't bother rebuilding the carb haha, find some form of adapter plate to throw a weber or Holley carb on instead. 9/10 of those solex hunks of misery are warped to shit. Even the merc techs would throw them out!

Other than that, so so stoked to see another e21 on here!

Yeah base prices are good but they charge 35c/km past 150km, on the hiace anyway

Without giving away too much(it may not happen), Palmerston North, medium sized four cyl, handlebars not really above tank level so height shouldn't be a biggie.

No particular rush to collect, could be in a few weeks to a month.

you've probably worked it out anyway

If all my cards line up right, I may be purchasing a motorbike from the lower North Island.
It can't be ridden and there's a bit to bring up to Auckland so a van would be ideal.
Is anyone willing to lend one? Will return it with a full tank of gas + payment of your choice.

I know it's a big ask, so failing that, any recommendations for hiring one?

Have looked at the mainstream options but the charge per km would ruin me.
 

Cheers,

Berj

Yeah I would work on the loom if it wasn't tucked away with everything connected inside the pressed frame.

Last thing I want is to sort this issue, then have it fuck out on me and have to pull the whole thing out again haha.

Thankfully I scored a shop manual with the wiring diagram so that's one less headache!

Thanks, though your kawa is really something to brag about, if only I had the coin!

Low n slow we shall joust for ownership of this.

Well there's something up in the loom, probably a short in the nether regions.
Can'd be fucked pulling off the conduit and tracing it so have ordered a NOS replacement. Bonus is this one is labelled with an original mode l# and production year. Should help with revin.

Fingers crossed it does the trick.

Honda tech: "Oh hey you know what would be hilarious?! A rats nest of wires in a shitty little headlight bucket where connections prove a nightmare to trace!"
 

The bike is almost complete again, just going to get a new chain and bolt on the bling bling chain guards.
Stock handlebars for now as I need to re vin, easier when it's all standard as in case I need verification from the good old VCC.

Tried starting it as well but the stupid bloody 2 wheeled piece of misery has no spark, checked the condenser, coil, points. No idea what else it could be.

System is 6 volt, any ideas?

Ready to reunite it with the bike and get the damn thing back on the road.

Didn't repaint the crankcase/head etc because a] I'm lazy, b] kinda like the fact it doesn't look rebuilt and c] paint would mess with heat dissipation apparently.

Yeah man through the top, getting the LCA's disconnected became a major ballache so I'll kill them with fire at some point today.

Still working on this..

Worthless update but time for a bit of cleaning/paint

 

edit: another hilarious and probably irrelevant part was the commutators were egg shaped and the brushes would bounce off the commutator at a million revs, easily solved by spinning them up on the lathe and cutting them round.

hahaha holy shit, yeah I'm not going to risk the cash. Will hold out on the second hand market.

OS rides are out in force today! no pics though /ling post

Wait.. same compressor as a 16? So if I bought this, a 16 or equivalent motor could be chucked on if found?

fair enough, what do you mean by rubbish? I can deal with poor finish/bit of messing about to get 100% but shit functionality is a deal breaker. That marquip is sweet, but after a bit of reading I'd need a 16 ideally. Have been after one for ages but they rarely turn up on the tard.

Does anyone have any experience with the ingco branded compressors?
Made in china, but I suppose most things are these days.
Interested in this one in particular

Will be spraying panels, probably getting a die grinder in the future as well, maybe even a bit of blasting when there's a bit more space in the garage.

Woah, I AM SO EXCITED TO HEAR THIS THING.
Also, we must have e21 races when we're both "ready"
