Anyone run wider rims on there scooter? have been digging this look for a while now...

I'm wonder what the wider rims do to the handling? anyone had any experience with them? 

Spotted this sweet 1200

I tried it on 

No broken bones ? 

How'd the bike hold up?

Cool project dude.

Haven't seen anyone fit pit bike forks to a c50. I've got ct90 forks on my c50. Bolt on conversion.

Throttle assembly should be picked up off trade me. Just type in pit bike throttle assembly. Will the 17" c50 wheel fit in the pit bike ? Or are you runnin the pit bike front wheel ?

They are more or less a bolt on aswell, everything matches up as far as i could tell from testing it out this weekend, The pit bike wheels where 17's as well so the original C50 should fit in there just fine! 

The are off one of these http://galleryplus.ebayimg.com/ws/web/181173935501_1_0_1/1000x1000.jpg

even have the little expansion chamber exhaust, its odd as they are a 4 stroke so not sure why they have the expansion chamber.... might try fit it see what i looks like....

Yea, that was my first thought about the throttle assembly but i didn't know what the OG C50 is set up like (only thing i didn't end up looking at in the weekend) has it just got the standard cylinder thing on the end of the wire that will be universal to other set ups? 

Hey Richie, what size are the new rims? 

So i pulled these off a old pitbike i had out at my old mans, bit ruff but they should clean up nicely

 

 

Any body done a similar conversion? 

 

need to find where i can get a new throttle set up that will fit the new bars...as you can see the one on there is held together with tape haha

I could be keen on them. How wide and what offset are they?

Both are 15x8, ill measure offset next time i have them off, Chris had the offset increased by about an inch from standard 

What's happening with the old D Windows?

Will likely be selling them if your interested

Cheers man, missed this thread.......

Anyone used Elite or other company for getting new outer lips made?  any advice/price estimate?

So haven't really updated in a while sorry guys 
 
Got it a new WOF the other day 
 
Also have sourced another bonnet from RBlover (Ivan on NZDatsun) he kindly gave me to front guards aswell, they arent in that great condition but panel beater might be able to use parts of them 
 
Also picked up these the other day, they are 14x6 +11 Long Champ  3 piece welded rims (unfortunately they aren't genuine but oh well)
 

 

 
plan is to get Pine Engineering or Elite to make some new outer lips to make them into 14x7.5 (front) and 14x8.5 (rear) and hopefully they end up looking like this :)

Hi Guys, 

Pretty new to the bike/moped game but i am already hooked! 

Started off with this little 87 FA50 i brought at the start of the year

 

 

 

 

 

Took it for a run up the port hills on Saturday, hauls up the hills  

 

 

Plan is to figure out what the engine is in it, Chop it up,  paint it and ride it 

 

 

 

 

Did you go on the ride dirty6 ?

unfortunately i didn't, had 10 to many beersies at Mates party the night before, Pretty piss poor excuse but there it is.... 

Seen the photos, looked pretty choice! 

Yeah I think there is a few of is heading along. What you riding ?

Was going to bring the FA, but going to bring the C50 i just brought, will be a good maiden voyage for her

The small bike club of Canterbury ride?

Yea think thats what its called, mate just told me about it

Any of the QCR going on the ride on the 30th?

Fixed, ended up being a fucked starter, chucked a new one in and shes all go! 

Cheers for the advice guys! 

Does the engine turn over by hand easily?

Yea it does, it crash starts and runs/drives 

I once had a similar issue and it turned out that the starter switch on the ignition assembly was fucked. Couldn't afford to replace it so set up a momentary switch haha.

Haha i hooked up a temp switch in the engine bay bypassing all the wiring and it still wouldnt turn it over well

is it possible that the starter operates normal under a bench test but the gear wont spin once its loaded up (connected to the flywheel) 

Have replaced all the power and earth wires, that didnt remedy that problem unfortunately 

Bench tested the starter, it seemed to pop out and spin as it should 

just sounds like the starter hasnt got enough grunt to move the flywheel around

I had this issue, replaced all the earth/power cables and turns over like a champ now.

Choice, will try this first! Cheers

Check earths/other connections. Could be a bung starter

Cheers!

Hey Guys, 

Picked up a Ke36 last week that i plan on using as my daily.

Having an issue with it turning over, has a good strong battery in it (out of the gloria) but when turning the car over it sounds like the car has a dead battery ???

wiring issue or starter or something, ive never come accross it before...

any ideas??
 

(before you ask no the battery isnt dead, i can chuck it into the gloria and it starts it up straight away)

Cheers

Nathan

Love the way this thing is looking! 

Been a while since i have posted here, So ill give a breif update of the last few months 

• Got this running 
• Daily driver got stolen 
• Needed car to get to work so took Gloria for WoF, failed on stupid stuff (exhaust been classed as lowest point, a couple of minor dents)
• Took it for recheck at different place, only failed on a few minor bulbs etc, 
• Got a WOF
• Proceeded to be stoked that it had a WoF
• Alot of fucking around with the fuel system as it was causing problems

and that about brings us to last weekend were i fixed the fuels issues! still needs a tune but its running alot better! 

So i have registered for Old School Nats in March, need to make sure the old girl is up for the trip! would be nice to have her sitting on some new rims before then but that will depend on how much i can save of the xmas break
