So much win

Dude, absolutely loving this. Keep it up

I remember this. Saw it at the 4 & Rota's in nelson last year. +1 vote for 12a bridgeport Dunno what the supply is like in nz but what about a LJ50 2 stroke inline 3?

Haha yeah was yarning about what my plans are for it. He then took it for a spin down the road, said he'd never rode something as fun or sketchy before.

Nah but my mate does, Im guessing you saw the bike sitting outside?

Yeah bike came with shifter, proceeded to break on its maiden voyage so had to weld it up again. Potentially considering a repaint, Will raid the supercheapauto paint cabinets soon enough. Skid vid to come

Awwww cheaaayyhhh Keeping the black vfiddy. Legit as fuck..... sorta All registered which was way easier than expected. $78 bucks with 6 months reg which was sick Needs a couple of things to get it "safer" :Head light and tail light arn't working atm :Needs a tune, badly :Throttle/brake assembly twists around on the handlebars so has a cable tie fix :Tires are backwards :Fuel tap has a slight leak But atleast it has a loud as balls expansion pipe and a suicide shifter so that redeems everything on the list. GG More pics

Yeah only problem is none of the lights work at the moment so night riding would be less than ideal haha. Will try sort them out this weekend hopefully

Anyone on here keen on helping tune my v50? Can pay with beers Had ago myself but just seem to go around in circles and not get anywhere with it.

Decided to sell both the black and the blue v50. I no longer have the same interest as I once did with these and I have too many other things on the go right now. Will post in the for sale section outlining what you get. Cheers

Man this makes want to actually pull finger and get mine registered haha. This is going to be pretty bloody rad when its complete. Think I may have to get myself one of those exhausts too. Are they available only somewhere?

Im so bloody lazy Plan confirmed... Remove engine from black v50. Install into blue v50 with new barrell, piston and head, take old engine and semi assemble it and install into black v50, go to vtnz and register the blue v50 and "attempt" to register the black one but all I have is a frame number and no previous owner details. All going well il have two v50's all legit. PS the expansion pipe is soooo fucking loud its awesome hahah

So I bought a second v50.... yeeeaaaah. Havent got around to putting a stud in the current engine and got bloody sick of walking into the garage and seeing it there not in use. Will put up some pics of the new purchase tomorrow after work when theres day light. The plan now is to take the engine in the "new" v50 put and into my current v50, get it running and registered and use it as a nice weather daily cruiser. Other v50 will be my experimental bike for trying out different customizations and what not. Will be all running and legal by the end of the month. (I promise haha)

Man everytime I see this crusing around it looks wicked. Soooo much low hahah

The dude was gonna scrap that suzuki?!?!? Some people aye

Will be coming to the meet too, bringing the oldman and his r31 wagon with aswell

Looking good man

Im keen , anyone able to give me a ride? otherwise il just drive my daily

Head turned up a few weeks ago and got the barrel back along with a new piston, all that needs to be done is make a new stud and drill out a new hole for said stud. Should be going pretty soon

Dude this thing is so sick, looked fucking sweet ripping skids out at rangiora

Another project thats on the go, http://www.chopzone.com/afterburner.html is of the above Something like that but more raleigh/healing inspiration and no silly designs in the frame, 20 inch rear wheel and 16 (maybe 12) on the front Gonna have massive bars, sissy bar etc. Should be sick as

So i've ordered a head off ebay for 60 bucks delivered from the UK which should arrive next week, the barrel is at a machine shop getting a port job and being bored out to fit an oversize piston (which is also on its way). Last thing to get it running is a new stud, probably going to get some high tensile steel rod and make my own but will see as I only have 3 of the original head nuts and can't be assed looking for a v50 stud with original head nut. All in all progress is being made, can't wait to ride the wheels off this thing

Okay sweet, wheres the best place to go?

That would be the way to go but i haven't been able to any at all or they were gonna be reasonably expensive, plus I wanna keep it a 50 at this stage just to make it easier when getting it re-registered. Iv'e heard its pretty hit n miss with whether It will need an inspection

Right, bit of an update Took the head and barrel into a machine shop to see about getting them sorted, they can source a new piston and bore the barrel no worries but the head is pretty far gone (still repairable) and suggested finding a second hand head instead. Gonna be about 200 bucks to get piston, barrel bored and fix up the head, not to mention i've also got to drill out a new hole for a stud in the casing. Is it worth sticking with the original v50 engine? I did however get a near complete c50 engine last week (cheers Guywithaviators ) and i'm thinking of getting that together instead as parts are a lot more common. Also makes life easier being a 4 stroke. If its gonna be around the same price to fix up the c50 engine I might just spend a little bit more and get a brand new loncin/lifan 50cc. If anyone has a spare v50 head around il be happy to look at purchasing it, otherwise I might soon have a "Yondaha" haha Edit: Just test fitted c50 engine. Not happening, which also means that a loncin/lifan is probably not gonna fit since they are based on the honda enignes as far as i know. V50 2 stroke it is then
