anyone joining the two wheel contingent? 

excuse vcr footage spec photo

that is so sick! i just bought one of these for haha, super excited to build it up. these are rad

cos i was an OS grom i posted my build in wrong thread... admin can delete old post.

so i have had this for a couple of months and the terrible task of rewiring everything and replacing a kickstart spring have left me struggling for motivation. mostly because i lack knowledge and decent tools to remove crankcase screws.

today i was far too bored and decided to take off the guards and remove the airbox shit. i like it!

am probably gonna scrap battery and run straight off of the flywheel/engine, so i can keep the clean look cos battery sits in the airbox assembly. how do i do this? already starts without a battery, just have no electrics other than that.

also, can someone tell me what this is? thought it was a regulator type thing but it doesnt look like a conventional one

really wanna get this thing on the road (legally)! 

your help would be greatly appreciated!

a mate of mine just bought a mint FR80 from big al's wreckers in p north.

what are our chances of registering as a moped? take the 80 badge off and play ignorant? some of these inspection-less stories make me feel fairly optimistic 

yeah man still goin! in the process of whipping up a new seat for it at the moment. just have more wiring to do and a kickstart spring to replace. how do they go in the buckets? yeah pretty gutted mine wasnt on hold, would've made it all a lot easier

im fairly confident that with all moped the lights only turn on while motor is running. i haven't come across one that doesn't. those poor 6v batteries just cant handle the jandle on their own.

sorry for sifting through month old posts, but this build looks sick. any updates? also are those the michelin m45? keen to get some for my CG, look alg.

fuck all progress cos of uni and exam shit...

gave the front drum a good clean out today. brakes dont retract tho and its fucking me off. dont think its to do with the arm or inside the drum, errthing still has spring inside. the shoes push out unevenly but doubt that has anything to do with the brake lever not retracting.

anyone have a clue? time for new cable?

and has anyone had experience replacing a kickstart spring? wondering how hard it is.

haha... we lit that fucker on fire multiple times... but aite i will give it a good clean.

this is the tab

as you can see its fucked and when you put it on it ust keeps spinning around. and i have no choke cable haha. any kind of linear cable should work though right? I am familiar with the FR50 ones, my mate has one. they look a lot different but idk what the mount/hole looks like on them.

So I'm just gonna resurrect this from the archives. this speed demon has been in hiding for the past year or so, exchanging owners like a taiwanese housemaid.

Mitch swapped this thing for an escort with our mate sonny, who did nothing with it. after some haggling i managed to score it for $60 and a dolphin catcher of some shitty import beer from the exotic section in countdown.
After a few hours of cleaning out the tank and a good carb clean, we got her running.

it runs like a champ sometimes, but most days it is a fucking faggot and refuses to start. only way to get her firing is pouring some fuel down the spark plug hole and manually choking it (finger in the carb) for what seems like hours. has no choke cos the little tab on the handlebar snapped, and a replacement is way too expensive for what it is.

Does anyone have any tricks on how to get it to start properly? the fuel tank is still pretty dirty, but the more i clean it the more mess i make and i dont have the time or patience to sit there for a whole day, or even longer, rattling stones through it. looking at the fuel filter, there's not a lot of shit in it. it has the tendency to splutter but if you wiggle the fuel line it squirts more into the carb and away it goes. ive cleaned out the hoses countless times and there's nothing blocking them.

Are my jets whack? airflow on the piss? i am puzzled. when it runs it hauls ass. the fact that this is registered restores my faith in this country's transport agency.

We are in the process of forming a small gang in p norf, shall be a good time. name yet to be agreed on.

in terms of looks, am probs gonna reupholster the seat in an off-white to match the plastics. any other suggestions? 

will update with more shenanigans and breakthroughs on mechanical issues! 

That sounds extremely easy. Red Baron's in Wellington eh? Have a few links with AFC motorcycles here (Palmy), doubt they have an inspector on speed dial though. will definitely have a look into it tho.

what was the inspection/wof like? very strict? i have some super dumb shit like my brake levers dont come back fully and the throttle sticks on in places. i have aftermarket drag bars on it, hopefully they just think it looks cool and dont have a wang over it.

what bike do you have? i hope these inspector dudes have actually ridden a bike without discs and fucking, grip warmers, or whatever it is kids these days have on their CBR's.

Slapped on the new tail light, i know its huge and 1970s as fuck, but it was pretty cheap ($25NZD) for a genuine NOS Honda part. 5 dorra taiwanese boat-mail was a letdown though.

gonna look at something small and LED in the distant future. getting it back on the road is a bigger priority.

Someone should be a mega ultra good cunt and help me wire this thing up. looking at the wiring diagram almost brings me to tears.

ignition arrived today, along with a fuel cap that doesn't leak. few more jobs ticked off the list.

Need to clean out the drums, fit new taillight and kickstart shaft/spring when they arrive and wire everything up then i should be sweet to go.

nice, nice. how much more strict is the wof check? are they concerned with the internals of the motor? as its old, there's heaps of dumb little shit i feel they could have a yard sale with. the throttle sticks on a bit if you don't twist it back, stuff like that. i think carjam told me it was first registered late 70's, early 80's so I'm sweet there. wasn't reported stolen either.

Where do you find justices of the peace? they still hang around the courts or citizens advice bureau?

Very interesting. so what's a good way of proving you own the motorbike? bought it through facebook, have no trademe auction or anything legit. will screen caps of our convo do it? bank statement of transferring the cash?

so once you get this document all signed and shit you take that in when you go for wof and rego? 

shit makes more sense now. a lot more legal shit involved than i imagined. 

I've got a Honda CG110 project //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/45213-honda-cg110/

Coming along real nice, just have to wire everything up to get lights etc. 

Rego died in 2007, still with black plates. I know fuck all about re-registering a motorbike and putting it back on the road. surely having its original plates and rego card should make the process a bit easier.

I've read a little bit on the NZTA website that it goes through a COF/inspection type carry-on, then you pay for rego on top and you're away laughing. surely there's more to it. what do they look for in the inspection? who's done it before? how much does it cost for the inspection? don't want to rock up there not knowing a thing. 

Cheers

yeah, would say this things got a good 100km's in it depending on wind. such an awesome bike, wonder if they were an import, no honda shop seems to have any info on them. currently running mine with a dead battery, think its used just for lights and other electrics. starts first or second kick with no battery, no choke. fuckin top effort for something burgeoning on 40 years old.

So today we put on drag bars.... look so much better. drilled a few holes and whatnot and she fits mint. ordered a tail light and ignition from ebay, should be here in just over a week. slimmer, black seat is also needed. then hopefully can get her revinned!

thing hauls ass as well for a little 110. easy 80kms down my street. will be interesting how she goes on a decent ride.

that workshop manual is a dream. was actually gonna email a few honda dealers seeing if they had one in their workshop still. thanks for that!

G'day fellas,
long time fan, first time poster in Old School. recently i picked up this sweet 1976 Honda CG110 all the way from the Eastern Bay of Plenty metropolis, Opotiki. Lord knows how many boil ups and mongrel mob funerals this bike has attended. Registration is long gone - last rego'd in 2007. still has original black and silver plates! started her up and let her run last night for a while. for some reason it lost spark, plug isn't fouled so it must be to do with the cdi or spark plug cover. This is my first proper attempt at motorcycle mechanics, I have a reasonable idea on what I'm doing, with the help and guidance from homeboy Mitch Ward (Mitch W on here).

needs a bit of work as you could imagine. so far, from what ive checked, it needs a new ignition, tail light lens and a fresh battery to get the lights going and such. there are no decent wreckers in palmy. the ones i went to either had never heard of the model, or had no parts, not even anything for a CB.

To my knowledge some CB parts could fit on this thing, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm looking for anyone with a CG or spare parts, I'm after anything really. needs new side panels and all that jazz. at this stage it looks like ebay is going to be my best friend but i'm not keen on waiting 2 weeks for chinese boat mail. even if you have previously owned one, would love to know how they go, any common problems with them or any help mechanic-wise would be greatly appreciated from this grom.

would also like to know more about the process of re-registering a motorbike. seems extremely tedious.

hopefully want it looking something like this in the not too distant future

If it's beyond being road legal, it'll still make a dope bucket racer.

will update this frequently, or check my instagram _nickritchie for the build, and other white boy privileges.
