@Pee Dubs, na I crappily painted my motor so will end up blasting or 2 pac black it at some point i did use him for my carbs and scooter side cover tho yrah have to remove engine as he blasts in a cabinet wire brush would probably just make it look worse/gouge the alloy Maybe waterblaster would lift it off? How bad does the alloy look under the paint oxidised etc?
-
Super cheap does paint matching now too, maybe cheaper to get aerosol can and spray into airbrush gun

Has she taught the kids that face too, any mention of looking on t.me or fb at bikes/scooters gets that face from wife and child! -
All the ones I dealt with were bspt, tho some of the Chinese pumps and nrv's were some weird (expensive to source locally) fitting that was used on digger hydraulics

Hey @Watchmaker, yeah vtnz was casual as, the bit with the White mark above the crank in the frame (the main tube that joins the headstock to the body) as it was fouling on the black cap bit which is the breather tube for the motor, but I've since heard of people heating the metal tube and removing and just jamming a bit of Flexi hose straight in the hole
-
@kdotlowe no sorry it was rusty and mouldy so got thrown
-
Oh yeah seems we have thrown all the 2 pac grey out we have this mystery acrylic? Stuff

Oh and I “rebuilt” the shocks ages ago but they were shit could basically bottom them out just pushing on them, can buy new/upgraded springs etc for them but I then I saw a guy was selling a rolling hyabusa for cheapish so grabbed it, bought some all balls conversion bearings and slotted it on theres aftermarket clamps available a I should probably buy one as there’s not that much steering angle (have beaten the tank a bit for more) turns out it’s probably cheaper and easier to buy cbr forks as they use the standard bearing and may have more angle, meeh

Shit 2 Years..., got enthused after nats and tried starting this old girl cleaned carbs and modded the starter motor (poor earth for the neutral brush so drilled and tapped to the alloy housing) fired into life and then had fuel oozing out from all the cruddy seals turns out they made a different sized fuel tap for like 2 yrs and they are nla, all the Chinese ones are different so drilled the rivets and bought New seals tapped and fitted screws Found a guy on trade me selling lots of Kiehin carb kits so asked and he was able to supply a kit for same price as all the USA/Europe ones without the freight! ( t.me name Nikau) also pulled the carbs apart and had them vapour blasted and re zinced
-
Also will need the clutch cable bracket moved a bit so I can still bolt The fairing on also got the original side cover vapour blasted and I polished the cover and had a paint pen that’s close enough to the right colour
-
Yeah just needed the frame ground a bit, have since seen one that they just heated and pulled the pipe out and squeezed a Hose straight in, what did you do with yours @Raizer?
-
So I promptly drove over to Hamilton and grabbed it before he had second thoughts needs suspension and re-reg (still got the old black plates) failed getting it through as a moped and then figured since it’s going into winter and I’d already got a yx140 motor from @Raizer I’ll get it going more than 40km/h and sort rego later
-
So since I’ve had my cx500 for several years and yet to finish it I did the most logical/os thing and bought a 1980’s? 125xl with og black plates of Facebook last year and promptly got it running plan waaas to fix rusted wheel and re-reg, but got carried away chopping off the gritty seat and back end masked up so I can make a fibreglass seat base, then a mate asked if I’d like a cub of course I would
