Popular Post mo999 Posted March 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2018 Just a quick build here, it all started some months back when @GuyWithAviators happened upon a pile of Honda remains and got them dumped at my place. Amongst the bits were these two and with a combined ride coming up with Moped MC and Easties Scooters it was decided I should build the Deluxe frame into something workable, @GuyWithAviators proceeded to send me a pile of parts and below is what happened. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo999 Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Having had this thing nearly two years time for an update. Was lucky enough to take it to QCR's "Dirt Masters" and ride it inappropriately. Just removed the front guard and fitted some Golden Boy tyres. So much fun was had, along with @GuyWithAviators on his absolutely ridiculous super stretched Yamaha V50 (Don't try this at home - not a dirt bike :)) 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo999 Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Since then I have been riding it when I can and have done over 1500 K on it now. A couple of trips out with the wife. Also got worried about the state of the OG wheels so built my self some new ones. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo999 Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 On to more recent related happenings, during this lockdown I decided I needed a bit of a challenge, so I retrieved off the scrap pile the OG motor from the deluxe. It had been carefully stored outside in the rain for the last two years - after 20 or so before that under a hedge somewhere. Needless to say it did not turn over (not even a little bit) I the challenge was to get it running without any new parts. Below is the story of that = sorry very picture heavy! There was a nice tide mark! Clutch cover off 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo999 Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Gear selector Main gears and main bearing The cleanup begins, this was the crank only after a few sessions in the ultrasonic cleaner - I was amazed at the difference made with just this method. After that I freed us the bearings and cleaned out the oil passages with CRC and air see videos below. At this stage I thought I might have a chance, as before this they were stuck solid! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mo999 Posted April 10, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2020 Then BOOM! I was happy with the results - not sure it would last long as its though the hardening on some of the gears and really needs new bearings (complete sets are only $35). I don't have enough bits to put it in anything right now, but maybe someday to see what happens. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
