  1. or an uuuuber exotic briggs v-twin?
  2. Open 4th gear braaps please!!! Looks and sounds amazing, awesome job @98cc !!
  3. wheelie seat in todays issue ct70 http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2018/05/28/honda-ct70-scrambler.html
  4. heres the v8 article anyway http://www.geocities.ws/MotorCity/Factory/2760/Viku2.html no cutting, but a lot of thought. what about a 3cyl turbo charade or something...? suzuki/daihatsu 2 stroke kei engine?
  5. Something like @98cc 's two stroke outboard engine would be epic but still the actually fit in a gearbox issue. if youre running thoughts on 'what fits in a mini' theres that finnish dude that fit a rover v8 on an austin princess box into his clubman.... otherwise theres an r1 on TM at the moment ...ps....you prettymuch should do this
  6. Not so superbike, but would some kind of quad engine work? They have reverse usually (or quad gearbox on superbike engine..?) Just need to find one able to produce enough power. Still the amr300 route? cbr engines or ninjas are usually cheaper than r1s as theyre still they standard go-to behind a hayabusa. Cbr keeps it honda too if you dont go honda big red engine haha
  7. i think thats about all thats in my garage these days
  8. I realize you've all seen, but seems appropriate.... if the spider sounds anything close to this it'll be amazing
  9. fair enough - i hear lanolin is good on patina. darkens it but stops it going further. plus you can then imagine youre riding a sheep
  10. get one of those skyteam dream tank/seat kits - instant cafe excellence.
  11. Not that ive ever heard of or seen it done, but if you put a couple of dry ice pellets in the intake then tested it would they leak visible gas out any holes/leaks? or soapy water test on outside. But youd be more scientitian with dry ice
  12. +1 on fuel tap/pump - my FR had fueling issues for ages and i ended up selling it. guy who bought it direct plumbed from the tank past the small diaphragm pump/tap and problem solved.
  13. plug gap check against spec too
  14. the oil pump tweak was more thinking out loud, thinking more oil would reduce the chance of it seizing at WOT. your gas reasoning sounds more sciencey, so go with that. but definitely start with the needle i think, depending on its taper it could make a decent difference with just what adjustment you have available in the notches what are the running symptoms like as it is?
  15. crankcase air leak, or any air leaks really (unless its huge) shouldnt make that much difference. Needle should help anyway - i'm guessing you've still got two notches to drop? is the replacement filter paper or foam? / have you oiled the foam? ive seen carb airleaks around the top where the slide removes from if that gasket goes too. if it runs well at that setting have you tried upping the oilpump setting to compensate?
  16. yeah lean. if not way lean. needs to be chocolate brown. id even check if its pumping oil Was that a full WOT plug chop? id be a bit worried to WOT on that colour though. What air filter / air box are you using? drop the needle clip a notch at a time see if it browns up - otherwise bigger main jet. mixture screw and pilot dont usually come into effect anywhere past 1/2 to 3/4 throttle anyway but im sure there'll be debate
  17. speaking of the CD175 in bits----hows this one going?
  18. so this is disgusting, but interesting point in the ad about the rego - could mean you can just up the displacement and run on a car rego rather than the 50cc moped limit? but...does that means warrants? dunno. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/scooters/auction-1414791690.htm also, rim-wise - could you lathe/make up adapters to suit say, a kart rim? more tyre choice/slam/slicks?? like bolt through one side to the existing PCD and the other side to the kart rim PCD?
  19. PS. googling turned up these sj50 'mods' There is a little plate between the exhaust header, and the engine, just loosen off the two exhaust bolts, and pull the little metal plate out, and she should be good for about 70kph with a 70kg person on it. This will invalidate any warranty on the bike, and possibly insurance, and cops will notice a 50cc scooter pulling 65 kmh. Your scooter will probably have a rev limiter in the CDI unit, To remove this you find your CDI unit and it will have 5 wires - Two going to the ignition coil, Two going to the alternator power, The 5th one will go to a device in the engine which gives it a voltage depending on RPM, Cutting this wire will make it 0 volts and the CDI will not know to limit the revs. The extra RPM speed gained will get your top speed from 50ish to 70ish. A couple good mods for starters is iridium spark plug for improved throttle response and easier cold starting, light weight variator rollers to get you up to speed quicker, Heavy duty clutch springs will raise your rpm engage point to give you better launches and get you into power band sooner -- these are the cheap and easy to do mods. Other mods are removing your cold air box and replacing it with a pod filter but this will require a carburettor retune so leave this until you know what you're doing and ofcourse changing your exhaust and installing a performance CDI unit with more aggressive ignition timings. Then after all that to make good use of your improved torque you might install a high speed pulley which will increase your gearing ratios giving you a higher top speed. Check out scootling.co.nz for all this stuff, the dude down there can help you out with all of that. https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=286883&d=1377510010
  20. Ooooh fancy waterjet etc. jealous. if that was me it wouldve been pencil, hacksaw and a file ha lights look good!
  21. MK2..? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/parts-for-sale/exhaust/auction-1399322652.htm also a gyro canopy listed at the moment. Pretty steep though
  22. Lol just found that and came to post it here
  23. put in the VG30e they're cheap and pretty decent on a light 2 door easy to find with box from a terrano etc
  24. just put your competitors one on there with one of those 'hows my driving' stickers
