Aaaaaaand because I seem to like filling my shed with bikes at the moment why not add another to the list. The Pine is strong for this one though, 1985 Honda CB50. After DGR last year and getting a soft on over the welly boys choice small Honda scrambler builds I have been looking for a CB/CG for the right price for a while, moped reg makes this one a mega win. Don’t know what plans are for it yet, def keep patina tank, will hoon it as is for a while and then figure out what I wanna do

If your getting rid of any of the handle bar upper covers, indicators, throttle asm or front guard giz 

 

please of course

yea rodgee ill be ditching all that gay stock shit.

also anyone know of any 1.85" 17" 36 hole rims? can on the rear of all small capacity CBs, some XRs etc, i want for this but dont want to pay shipping for a new one from thailand. pleeeease and thankyous

so ct90 above sold to one very happy chap down in lower hutt, aaaaaaaaand then another scoot appeared

Yip I kept mine, all they wanted was photos of the plate to show they were still in good condition, can’t remember if I showed them a photo of the old rego tag, pretty sure I didn’t. Write a snail mail letter to the right person (Tracey someone) and about a week later I got a letter back saying all G take this letter with you into aa when you go to re reg easy peasy. Ladies at aa in Feilding had obvs never had this happen and got all confused and had to right Ltsa but it was all sorted when they were educated of the formalities 

well i meant to get a heap of ST90 stuff done this weekend but that just didnt happen. a deal popped up on friday and i wasnt going to grab them but no one else was keen and i knew i could make one mint bike out of two to sell for profitz and make a good runner but just a bit rough around the edges from the other one 

so spent all afternoon Saturday and most of the day Monday swapping bits over like bars and switch gear, wire wheeling all the chrome, buffing and polishing everything!

came up pretty bloody good! still a few little things to do like glue the edges of the seat down, put the red side cover on, there was an oil leak from a shagged clutch cover gasket so i pulled that all off and cleaned everything (the oil filter screen was jammed with gunk) and will get a new gasket this week. bike has had the rings done 100km go and is a great runner, kinda cheesing it really but i don't need a second CT.

back onto the ST at nights this week, hopefully get the frame pretty much rolling

I'm trying to order a exhaust for it and have found heaps of sweet parts on yahoo japan but need some more $$ before I do anything else 

yea id wait and just put money aside and then do heaps of cool shit at ones. The best barrel kits for these from all my research are the polini Corsa, which are about $300 for the barrel and piston kit etc. because of the mission of tuning these things your best to save up and do cylinder / carb& manifold  / exhaust all at ones, then tune your gearing to get it spot on.

@SEEN88 , better get to organising!

hes too busy combing his fabiolicious hair

anyone have any pit bike parts lying around? im after a 14" disc brake front end that isnt fucked. facebook market place is letting me down, dumb people that think a chinese pitbike with a blow engine is worth $700 mayyyte ya dreaming

man this shit is pic heavy for one page!

edit - win, new page finally

so i got a wee bit done to this thing over the holidays. completely stripped it down and gave the frame a cut and polish which has come up pretty good. decided against the clear coat, will just keep it well waxed. 

had some choice vintage style squishy grips turn up for my choice but unknow bars. i thought they were BMX at first but must be off something motorised as they had factory holes in them for wires to run from switchgear

i stripped the lifan150 down to replace the top end, bead blasted the barrel and head and then lapped in new valves and rebuild the head with the new cam, rockers etc etc

it was then i noticed the crank had about 1.5mm of side to side play, the bearings were moving in the case, an indication it had been hot / out of oil, which would explain why the top end was koozed. i went and spoke to a very highly regarded bike mechanic (ex uk husaberg MX team head mechanic and british 250cc MX champ) and he had a look at it and reckoned it use some loctite 620 high strength high temp oil resistant bearing retainer and it would be sweet as, so will go back together with a bit of that.

so i split the case and pulled everything apart as i wanted to give it all a good clean, good thing i did cos there was a bit of yuck alloy paste / old oil in the oil pump and bottom of the cases. nothing a good dousing of brakekleen wont fix

so yea just waiting for a couple of bits to arrive and ill throw the engine back together this weekend and paint it and get it mounted in the bike. then to start sorting the rest of it. i have a big box of bead blasted bits ready to paint, and have polished all the alloy bits so shouldn't take too long from here on.

currently also hoping to track down a 14" pitbike front end, after @Shakotom showed me this photo below im kinda pining having lush front suspension and brakes

sorry chaps im out, tooooooo many things on at the mo. have locked it in eddy for taupo ride tho, the other bum ticklers are keen as too

so with the C50 project out of the way i decided i needed to build another old small capacity honda. cue this piece of shit that i managed to get for a pretty good deal -

Shes a 1973 honda ST90, the big 14" wheel version of a DAX / CT70. These this are quite rare as they were only made for 3 years, and have a strong barry following in the states, so barrys heads are gunna roll when i murder it / how dare you put a chinese engine in an st90

plan is something similar along the lines of this

road legal pitbike spec that does wheelies etc. like the trombone it has delicious patina, think i might get it jizzed on with a few coats of clear this time. will tidy a few things up but the frame will remain patina as.

this week i got a hella deal on an OG 150cc lifan engine that had a shagged cam. these 150's stopped getting put in pit bikes a few years ago in exchange for the yx140 engines like i put in the c50, turns out the reason was cost as they lifan was much more expensive. According to pit bike barries the 150 lifan is as quick as a cammed yx140 and they have more torque / are an all round better engine. this one only cost me $80 and came with a genuine VM26 plunger type mikuni, these carbs are over $200 new. Also came with cdi, oil cooler, throttle and a bunch of other bits. I smacked an order on aliexpress today for - cam, valves, retainers, collets, valve springs, full gasket set, new piston and rings, stem seals, new rocker arms, came to a whopping $79, gotta love china engines.

so yea hopefully get the engine mounted over the xmas break and a few other little bits done, in between rally car rebuilding and house renos anyway. these frames do not take a china / honda engine as they had a weird 3 bolt engine like the SL90s as opposed to 2 bolt everything else. so i need to make an adapter mount which will be a bit tricky (and no, its not the same as early ct90 / c90 etc, they are still 2 bolt). so yea, looking forward to wheelies on this thing.

@Dolan @Sparkle we need to get some bum pinchers at this ride other that just myself. Im sure all these auckland / tauranga fags think that you guys are my imaginary friends

i have been crook for the last 2 days with some kind of virus, temp is down to 38.4, thats only mild right, im sure riding scoots in the middle of no where will sort it out

WOhoooo I am locked in! Come on @My name is Russell get onto it! So fucking pining right now for some lush CT110 hoons

yea showing a written copy of the rules might help answer this question, often in motor sport they state what you can do, not what you cant do

i cant see a way around it tbh, making something like a phantom grip is still technically a limited slip diff, the rules are obviously there for a reason. anything you do to make it lock under load is limited slip. Just run it as per rules.

keen as a bean for this, im sure sparkle will be too, but gravel roads, so maybe not lel. but yea we should be able to put together a bit of a penny pinchers crew. Id just need to choose between the C140 and the Ct110

Giz all of the details on the tyres plz

Mayyyyte most budget friendly tyre ever, shinko 241, they are a copy of a trials tyre essentially and look badass. lots of posties use them. $100 delivered for a pair.

They are 2.75/17. Will look whack on a stock cub rim, but a 1.55" Ct110 rim suits them well, my rims are 1.85". On a cub these clear the forks with like 3mm on either side haha
