ODB

Starting to look pretty good bud. Come a long way since last time I saw it even!

Forgot I had this should prob fit it at some point!!!



Ring a ding ding ding!

Thought id throw this on here for like.....inspiration and shit.

Haha didn't mean that at all mate just wanted to see moar!

a student stole ur phone????

now you are no longer a teacher you can go kick the living shit out of him right????

whens part 2???

If you look at metal heads v50 a couple of projects down looks about the same?

Thibk mine looks worse cos it has different risers and bars

Yeah it's not perfect but sitting in 4/6 holes there.

The ones that connect to engine are about an inch out mate.

I'll have a play and if I need to drill more holes so be it.

Needs to come off to sort carb anyways

Test fit of new legshield:

doesnt seem to fit all that great - its for a yamaha 80cc mate/townmate i think but yeah

Hides a whole lot of ugly in terms of airbox etc i reckon

What you all think?

Finally got around to making up a cable for the front brake for this.

It now brakes on both ends!

Pictureless update soz

You are sweet.

I dropped a large version of this into their letterbox au.

wish my old man had one of those - from when i was about 16 onwards and had my licence 

i read somewhere that there are a lot of old rotangs in states and that they arent in demand at all - might be able to pick up some bits there?

Alrighty started pulling carb apart and became apparent last person to work on it had lost clip that was holding air intake on.

Hence air intake was off and this was covered by black electrical tape.

No doubt contributing to it running like a bag of dicks.

So rooted around in my shed and found this - knew i ordered one ages ago:

Far thicker than the old one, its flexible and seals both ends.

Yeah

Its dying specifically when it has run for 10 mins plus and got hotter.

Seems peppy lower down etc but def bogging hard at WOT.

Will try adjusting clip to highest level - but my (rudimentary) understanding is that this only really effect up to about 3/4 throttle and WOT is the jet size?

Ok bike is back and seems to be running / starting well - when cold.

After its been running for a while and gets hot it seems to bog down and stall.  I need to let it cool down and then will run again.

Thoughts?

Initial thoughts could be running a little lean / soft seizing? So run some oil in fuel also?  Carb jetting??

Perhaps gear oil needs changing although that seems sweet?

You fools talking 'bout rap oh what glee,

Look out mother fuckers its the ODB.

Hayholes mum you sound like such fun,

Lets get this thing started with my fist up your bum.

While all those other lads are making such a fuss,

Your cooking eggs for me, like Im Jake The Muss.

Im sure my sweet rhyming will get you all wild

Your upcoming reaming will not be mild! 

Just had a look outside - probably gonna rain.

On Hayholes mum, lets run a train!

CHOO CHOO

yep  did mine as a motorbike and ensure its 49cc

I went into yahoo Japan auctions then got midnight racing to sort it which was fairly easy

That's what having another kid does to ya bro take note haha

overnight parts from japan and shit....

this thing is running now need to figure out a seat plan

Think you are thinking of Christchurch.

After talking to al the major players in car transport who either weren't interested at all or wanted too much as it wasn't a runner!

 

I listed it on http://www.backload4u.co.nz/ and had a bloke call me within hours. He goes under the name of Bird Liberator Freight (Used to deliver racing pigeons!) and has quoted me about half everyone else.

 

cheers

Thats some good info - maybe a sticky?

All of us wheeler dealers have issues transporting shit up and down the country with cunts asking moonbeams.

saw that bug - from auckland wasnt it?

Was tempted - glad it went to someone here!

think there is supposed to be a pivot of some sort on frame just below seat post entrance.

The wire goes into the shifter where the arrow is facing away on the picture - if that makes sense and it pulls out / pushes in a chain that comes out of the rear hub.

Will try and track down a photo of a complete one for you
