The Quarry bar or the actual Quarry itself? Tai Tapu would be grouse!

Is there a meet at start of this month>?

Yeah definitely metric - this thing won't get close to proper

Can confirm it does the ton! Took ages to get there but it got there!

Spent half the morning looking for a few rubber washers. Every rubber place wanted $20 plus for em .....!!! Thought feck that and rocked down to Supercheap Auto like a bawse and came back with some of these wiring grommets Choppy choppy and I had some rubber washers that were the exact right size.... And now me head lights look like this..... Shit update is shit but Im hopeful that when I get a new bulb fitted it wont blow and I can take rides after work in winter! Took bike for a burn anyways at 3pm and was a great afternoon for it wind was pretty warm!

Seen a couple of these things on the tard too lately. Go for good $$ in good nick

Yer bro been doing some mean skidz au

Browsing the tard found these. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/parts-for-sale/handlebars/auction-597851841.htm Mmmmmmm would be lol

Battery is brand spanking and was my first port of call. Horn, indicators and tail light all gravy. Im gonna hunt down some rubber headlight mounts this weekend and put em in the bracket mounts to see if vibration is killing headlights. Chris : its my understanding that these bikes run the headlight direct on AC and the rest of the circuit on DC. If my reg was stuffed ALL lights would be blowing? The more I think about it the more I am convinced its vibration - it only blew after going for a sustained time at higher speed - had previously been fine tootling around locally.

It will be a slow moving one then without mucho street cred?

A few steps forward and one step back! Finished a meeting yesterday early and went home and took it for a blat! Headlight blew again when I was revving it out - feck feck feck. More investigation is needed!

Hmmm Id have thought more load on front would create greater contact with the ground at speed and thus greater stability. I know that whenever i have gone on longer bike rides on road bikes and had panniers filled with a lot of weight on the back wheel the front felt pretty squirrely at speed - front panniers felt a lot better. I stand corrected though

Less rake and move the weight ie you further forward should make it less scary at speed. ie vs

Pulled over by the fuzz. Badass mofo lol

Have come to the conclusion that there is fuck all wiring diagrams on the web for a selpet / ma50. Found one for an FA50 which might give some clues but I wouldnt hang my hat on it. My thoughts , fwiw, get it running then wire the rest from scratch with newer lifan parts.

As said, above wiring looks correct to me mate. As Rookie said, hunt down the fail component and replace then figure out charging! What area are you in Chch am happy enough to come chuck a second pair of eyes at it one day

Hi to all you OSGCs. Names Ross, live in the 03. Long time lurker, first time poster. Two shady pricks Joker and MRWEST brought me here. Intend to get along to a couple of meets as work and family allow. Anyways been a little bored lately so thought Id get into riding bikes and buy a shit thing to learn on/project. Bought this thing - image from the tard. When I bought it the thing was sweet as a nut mechanically but fucked electrically - no horn, indicators, headlight. Not deterred I trailered the bitch home and set to work - after a fucking ear bashing from the better half. Once I had utilised my pimp hand and she was back in kitchen, had it to bits and found that it had 3 minor problems: 1. Battery was fucked 2. Almost all bulbs were blown. 3. The main issue - the previous owner had painted frame and then attached the main ground so it wasnt grounding. Fixed all of the above and now it indicates, toots the horn and light works. Even if it does get brighter the faster I go - 6v piece of shit. Anyways, will pass my test on this and then see if I can be fucked chopping / modding it or if I just buy something cooler. It doesnt seem to go very quick but good for a laugh and to zoom through rush hour traffic i suspect! Thats all for now.

Don't get no rubbie rubbie on rear fender? Awesome build thus far looks like its gonna be good

Windows!
