While motorvation was actually present I had a look at the mount I got from the states. The stabilizer bracket didn't line up at all so I chopped it off. Success. It now fits. Now is the wheel even slightly centered. Double success Center stand will need to be removed but I was expecting that. Prior to removal from the dio the motor felt a bit down on power and was missing intermittently. The miss turned out to be a burnt/loose coil terminal. I ordered some more bits from @Raizer and this arrived Can't complain at the thoroughness of the packaging. He ensured nothing could move in the box and be damaged I pulled the plastics off the motor Head gasket is chooched and was leaking Whipped the barrel off and popped the piston out. Nice new piston and barrel Refer back to a photo of it being assembled here. I replaced the clutch springs and clutch bell along with the final drive oil I went to replace the variator with something that wasn't $20 from aliexpress and the sleeve it slides on is slightly thicker than the Honda one. Does anyone have a bush reamer I can borrow? The pins are too hard to try cut or butcher with my tools. I swapped the leaking forks off the zx dip for some that don't and test fitted the brakes. Another success (mostly). I just need a tiny spacer and possibly some filing of the fork I have to decide which frame I want to cut up now as the disc stem is shorter than the melody and wont fit. I've got a dio frame that it works with which I plan to weld on. I'm hoping it'll clear the melody plastics and I can use the mudguard but haven't had a look at that yet

Another nifty/melody popped up on facebook complete with a black plate. One cheeky low-ball and some negotiation later Last reg in 86 I'll fire a email off to the relevant person so I can hopefully run it

Just usr a relay tbh. Diodes will have small drop in voltage across them which could potentially cause charging issues

This got very oily smelling on the moving trip so i had a nosey under it. The front crank seal is doing its best prevent any rust from forming under the van. You can actually watch it leak out... We has lots of 'fun' bleeding the brakes, i thought id check all the fluids and nearly zero brake fluid which is a scary thought. Ive got a crank seal and master coming from rock to sory rhose problems

Lush car. X2 on the lace
