solidstripe Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 <---(this does not get used nearly enough) So ampping to get it now! Have to wait to go up to Auckland to pick it up on Monday, the suspense is killing me! It's my first bike (if you can call it that) and have no solid ideas. Will let the inspiration flow when I see her. The rough plan is to make it into a beach bike that can nip me round to different spots. So have been day dreaming on the best way to have a removable surfboard rack on the left hand side. Have a novel, cheap idea but will have to wait and see. Kinda been digging Duess Ex' kinda style for a long time, probebly take some inspiration from there, but keep it looking low budget if that makes sense. Basicly what a 15 year old me would do to a bike but lacked in style and abilitys hahaha. Oh yeah, it's 2 stroke! = 1up! 3 spd too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlownCorona Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 if this is the same engine as tha ma50 im building, and it looks like it is, its a 4spd manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidstripe Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Cheers Chris! It's finally arrived! It's my first bike ever, so completely utterly noobish, but from what I can tell taking it for a quick spin it's a 3spd and chops through the gears pretty well. Smokes up a storm, gota love the 2 strokeness. Here's a dumb question, if I made up the wrong ratio 2 stroke mix (1:30) would that be enough to stop it running? Cause it ran out of fuel and I had a rough guess at the mixture and now it don't start no more... gutted. Mate snapped this awesome pic of me and the wife going down the alley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidstripe Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Oh yeah, anyone know where to get a cheap 6 volt battery from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidstripe Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 I also hear expansion chamber exhausts are the go on 2 strokes. Where would one aquire such an item? Would one of these modifyed to fit be the go? http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/5/ ... C_ID=10010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 if the expansion chamber isn't designed for your exact engine it won't be much use. will look cool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guypie Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Easiest way to get a expansion chamber for a random old bike is to make one. I have a book and a mig and a bit of sheet metal. you can come have a crack at it next time you come to hamilton to visit the inlaws if you want! -Guy (yes the one that you know from way back when) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
