DB8-TypeR Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Have done a bit more, still need to connect all the wiring and finish up the front end (wheel is just sitting there, no brakes or speedo) Quite pleased with the colour scheme IMG_20160820_153735 by Andrew, on Flickr IMG_20160820_153726 by Andrew, on Flickr IMG_20160820_153721 by Andrew , on Flickr 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB8-TypeR Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 Put some brakes in the front hub, plugged in all the wiring, fitted the wind guard and rear carry frame. Ran it for a while but now I think something is sticking in the carb as it will just barely start, wont rev then dies. Spark plug ends up wet so I think its flooding itself. Anyway, pic Chaly complete by Andrew, on Flickr Will need to grab a battery before I can test all the lights etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Just finalising purchase of this Dax by Andrew, on Flickr Apparently a '68 or '69 ST70, needs a bit of work but should be fun to slowly fix up alongside the Chaly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 So the Dax has arrived, wee bit rougher than expected but not unfixable IMG_20161012_175218 by Andrew, on Flickr And the "collection" IMG_20161012_175145 by Andrew , on Flickr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB8-TypeR Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Soo not much done on the Chaly, its mostly complete. Just had some 3.5" wide rims arrive, need to aquire some 110/80r10 tyres, maybe 120/70 but apprently clearance on the rear is an issue. Still a pain to get started, usually 20+ kicks when cold Also got back the scoot we had when I was 15, a 89 Honda DJ-1. Suitably rough and has seen some shit. Has been sitting since 2013 but fresh fuel and started on the first kick. Plans are to daily it and maybe make a little quicker As for the Dax, its in the garden shed. Have a new loom for it and am researching options for disc front ends, extended rear swing arms and bigger engines 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Interested in a trip around the east coast some time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 My riding skills and trust in reliablity of scoots would need to increase immensly, not even sure any can currently get over hill to ohope let alone east coast! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chees- Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 DJ1 is sweet, i'd be keen on it if you ever want to sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 DJ will likely stick around for as long as my current job lasts. Perfect for comuting and the price (free) was just right. Just needs to be reregistered and its away. Wouldnt mind some 10" Dio/nifty fifty wheels for it rather than the 8" ones it currently wears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High speed variator, dr pulley style rollers, fresh belt, nails it up to speed now and still does 65-70k fairly easily. i think its pushing 80 downhill.

DB8-TypeR Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 Am borrowing some 10" rims to decide which I prefer. Have the front 8" one in getting a new tube as it goes flat within 20mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Any chance you could take a couple measurements from the 10" Dio front wheel for me? I need to know how deep into the drum the face of the Speedo drive part is and the od of it. /Guessing it'd be the same as your 8" wheel too if the 10" goes on. Want to get the front of my Gyro up on a 10" wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB8-TypeR Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Success Dax and DJ1 have new plates. Wish Id been able to keep the DJ's original plates (22RUM) but apparently the system wouldnt let her renew them. Took the DJ for a fang, tops out at an Indicated 60kp/h, not sure if this is above averaghe or not. Forgot to measure the 8"rim for you @Raizer but am grabbing the 10" ones in the next couple days. Only issue to sort is broken rear lights which I cant find a replacement for in NZ and the ignition relay needs to be smacked for it to switch on and let the lights work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
