tortron Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 factory solo seats for these look like the old style tractor seats - but sprung leather. Then there is usually a small chrome parcel rack behind that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 i've pulled the trim off the seat i have and its relatively simple to reduce its height by the amount i need but its not the original seat so mounting presents a few issues, i should have the exhaust done by tommorow night then its just gas wiring to see how it sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 One of the boys has a wiring diagram for these engines i could try track down if you get stuck. cant be that hard though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 well holey fucken lifan haha 2/3's throttle and this is scary on open grass, just got it barely rideable for test runs ie no seat half a back brake and a sloppy throttle, will mount seat and exhaust mounts tomorrow and try some more long distance tests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 is she geared quite low? Do you think she will sit on 100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 running the original 90 gearing so i'm guessing 50mph easy, dropping the speedo cable off tomorrow for rebuild, in no way was i revving it all the way out and it felt quite tall to me ie has to be revved to get moving. will have to look into brakes and suspension as its front shocks are pogo.

Chris.QCR Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Loving the project bud! Its should do a hundy, A mate of mine has a Lifan 125 in his C50. It does 70kmhr wheelies and pulls 120km top end. He has had it for years now. No issues. Attends every scooter run in the region. On the last one i was struggling up a hill and he rode up beside me grabbed my arm and pulled me up to hundy k and let me go! Was awesome!

Truenotch Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Flick some switches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 yes marku if you don't flick switches it won't start, So here's another little vid to prove it does get a run, Next on the list is finishing the footpegs then its off to the brewing shop to get some tannic acid to make rust proofer.

tortron Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 i suggest wrapping the frame in leather, then setting it on fire old timey rust proofing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 so got bored/inspired to change things up,insert home built riser bars suicide (panhard) shift, and soon a sprung shovel single seat and rangi white walls/flappers, split beer crate panniers. been bowling round on this and its pretty fun to ride with the hangers and panhard shift, lights working well but have to jet the carb a little as it seems to be wanting a little more juice at the top of the throttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I got a bigger carb on mine off TM and it stops the top end starving, bogs down a bit in low revs tho but still usable. Makes them way fun aye, I dort over the Wainui hill with middy on the back and it loves it Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 will try one of my spare flatslides i have first, then will look at purchasing if that doesn't work. just seem to get a bit lean and starvie after a good 80km/h run, being more upright probably doesn't help but can change back to low slung if i want.
