Beaver

Cool to see another RD50! I believe the headlight power feed is seperate to the rest of the lights, I think I have a wiring diagram somewhere I'll see what I can find.

Here's my RD

Oh and hauled some more bikes. Didn't get any pics of all 3 loaded up

I've had reasonable results in our work fleet; Kona EVs and Ionic 5's. Just last week got into full Kona which said 420km, did Auckland CBD and back (250km return) and it had 140km left when I got back.

Feel like a dweeb for asking, but adjustable damping shock absorbers (with a real obvious adjuster knob). Should I expect issues come WOF time? 

Are you going to cut the guards so you can fit wide wheels/slam, or are the flares just going to stick out and the wheel/height combo will fit the guards themselves? Reason I ask is that if it's the second option then in my opinion flares look silly as they stick way out and serve no real purpose. If the flares are so you can fit a tough wheel/height combo and need to cut the guards then I offer a firm hand shake.

But it's your car so do whatever you want, will be super rad either way.

Drag the rest of the gbag back to PAP and ask for a refund?

Not all heroes wear capes

As an aside, other than the extra for experts whangamomona track, is the rest drivable?

Holy heck this looks good. Need to check the calendar on the back of the shitter door.

Same on the RX125. Happened a lot on east cape and was super annoying. assume water getting into points gubbins and turning everything british? 

Would be interested to know if you find a solution that isnt just 12v cdi conversion 

The coil on this sits up under the tank and gets spray from the wheel. The spark lead and cap are also in the firing line. So I think its one of those causing issues. Plans are to replace the original cap with modern one (I had water issues on my v50 lifan where it woudl start running like shit as soon as it was raining/the road was wet. A good quality NGK cap with a rubber seal solved the problems 100%), and look at a way to protect the coil a bit better from water.

And got a few extra HP by replacing throwing cap screws at everything 

Have been commuting on this every day for the last month or so. Great way to start and end the work day for sure. Only had one hiccup on a wet day when it lost spark. Once it dried out it was fine. 

Other thing that bugs me was it leaks fuel through the carb and out the inlet when sitting. I turn the fuel off anyway but still. So stripped the intake down (after adjusting the carb floats) and resealed things back up. One of the mounting holes for the intake is snapped off, and the precious owner just good it up. Instead I used a big washer to clamp it down. Seems to have done the trick.

Could be worth a shot? Haha

Else surely someone on the US makes reproduction ones. Can't imagine it would be cheap to get someone local to make a one off. @Archetype may be able to share some insight

As per previous photos, fixed the seat courtesy of @64valiant shit it looks good. My backside appreciates it as well. Also a small today up on the back using left over v50 bits (got rid of the big square plate mount and the oversized tail light bracket. Is now road legal and period correct plate style and stickers etc to round it off.

New tyres and tubes fitted up, and seat is with @64valiant getting some much needed love. The seat base was quite bent which was kicking the tail up too high making it look like a banana, and someone had a go at being a DIY seat builder and upholster with pretty poor results. Not only did it look terrible is was very uncomfortable. Will look and feel much better when said and done, and give the bike the nice flat lines it deserves.

Had some fun with some seats Greg had in stock. Turns out a mudbug seat fits quote nicely!

Thanks for the catch-up all, A++ as always.
