Just slapped over top for now. I will eventually yarn to @Archetype about some real stickers that match the age of the bike. Ahh excellent, I might get in on that action too if you don't mind. Quote
MichaelJFox Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Ha - I was tempted to grab this myself when it came up, but I was in Raglan in a yurt with no power for the weekend and had 1% battery when Thomas linked me it. Have fun with it man! 1 Quote
BLIZZO Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Keeping black plates is cool, but as this is a c90 you won’t be able to do that, unless you register it as a c90 / motorcycle and have it complied etc etc good score tho, just be aware that c90 have the same bolt pattern as ct110, and China engines aren’t a straight bolt in. Nothing hard to sort tho, I have just welded tabs to the frame before you you can make / buy brackets. Just something to think about 1 1 Quote

Just something to think about Yeh i'm not that boned up over keeping the plate, i'm more boned up over not paying motorbike rego. I'll attempt to acquire a new plate when i'm in town tomorrow. 2 Quote
Vintage Grumble Posted December 18, 2018 Author Posted December 18, 2018 So I tried to register this in Kawerau, but they wanted to involve the testing station after ringing the LTSA, nopenopenope. So I tried in Whakatane, with great success! Huge thank you to all the people I harassed via PM about this. Now that I have a plate, I will get stuck in. I hear shores 50's are the place to go for cheap Lifans? I think i'll go for a semi-auto 125, as I like the look of the std handle bar surround/no space for a clutch lever. Also, I've overheard talk of a modification you can do to the front forks to stop them riding up under braking? Where would I find info on this? You guys are the best. Regards, VG. 5 Quote

You mean just weld a spacer on here eh to fill the gap to the rubber stop. On 28/08/2018 at 12:58, Chris.QCR said: Thats the one mate . I used a M12 nut and its perfect awesome getting it regod, good to see theres still some places about pretty sure raizer said shore 50 is the cheapest, think he might have run out of motors tho so maybe call and put your name on one 2 Quote
Chris.QCR Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Awesome on the plate and yeah thats the mod that improves so much of that front end handling. And yeah 125 semi auto is the ticket and I feel like he has some in stock. If not he has more arriving next week. 2 Quote
Vintage Grumble Posted December 18, 2018 Author Posted December 18, 2018 Oh sweet, so you just take away the suspensions ability to droop by filling the gap essentially? Nice. Yeh he's out of stock ATM, due first week of Jan he said, will put my name on one. 1 Quote
Shakotom Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 That mods great tbh, did it to my FR50 and made it so much more predictable under braking. especially at higher speeds. No lift 1 Quote
kicker Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Was gonna say take your kid with you to get the plate, AA ladies can't resist 2 Quote

DB8-TypeR Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Good to see the system works! She warned me I wasnt allowed to speed on my freshly registered scooter, funny lady that one. Jokes on her, its a bare frame. I have a 125 with my name on it also for the Dax 2 Quote
Vintage Grumble Posted December 26, 2018 Author Posted December 26, 2018 Would anyone like to take the 1969 C50 cub deluxe off my hands? It's got a years rego, doesn't need wofs, and will be like sub $40 a year to rego from here on in. The motor was fucked, and has been discarded, so slap in your favorite China motor and off you go! To cover the cost of the bike + rego + plate I would like $250. Regards, VG. 3 Quote

Vintage Grumble Posted March 23, 2019 Author Posted March 23, 2019 So I got a big ass fancy ol carb from @Raizer which came complete with delicious and entertaining packaging, I set about making a stainless manifold for it, this is the first thing I have ever Tig welded, so didn't complicate things with filler. I had to mount it facing forwards for several reasons, I then made a mount for the oil cooler, this is about the only place it would fit, didn't have to cut the leg shields, The donor bike didn't come with any foot pegs, so I made a set. I nicked the rubbery foot bits from my velo bike, which came from an NC50 I think? I will strengthen these up in the future, Then I set about mounting the muffler, couldn't decide to go big angle or straight out, until I realized it would be a cunt to mount it low down, I made a mount (which took a lot longer than you would think) to mount the muffler, it hangs down just in front of the rear shock, Once the muffler was mostly mounted, I set about making the header, out of stainless tube (as that's what I had at work with the correct ID for the exhaust port) It came out pretty well, hopefully it doesn't crack/fall off too quickly. I then trimmed the leg shield to clear the motor and pipe. Bent the kick start a tiny bit to clear the muffler, Its on quite an angle, but looks OK I reckon. I then cracked open the China oil cooler to have a nose. The silicon was blocking half of the galleries, so glad I opened it. I also magic'd the green off it while it was apart, I made some gaskets for it, but I might make some more out of thinner material, 3mm is a bit thick. I also ported the insides of this a bit to help with flow. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd that's where I'm up to. Reagrds, V "taken forever to do fuck all" G 9 Quote
Chris.QCR Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Looks great ! Id say keep up 3mm for ya mount as these motors have some intense Vibration. Love the pipe and the angle alot 2 Quote
Vintage Grumble Posted April 19, 2019 Author Posted April 19, 2019 I got me an air filter, just fits, hits the mudguard under full compression or full lock, but good enough. Also got a stand alone throttle, might bend the bend in the cable to straighten it up a bit. Couldn't find the banjo fittings I needed for the oil cooler, so cut up the std lines and a pair of hydraulic fittings from work. Easy flowed them together, neat. Fitted the oil cooler lines, fuel line and a few other bits n bobs (after stripping it to paint parts of the frame) and decided to play around with the wiring. Then realized there was no reason not to start it, so had a crack. 3 kicks and it was away. Haven't played with the carb, but it seems to run well and is super responsive/crisp. Muffler needs some packing or something, as it's stupid loud, which is understandable as it's just a ribbed tube at the moment. One thing I haven't worked out, is what these wire are for. They seem to put out about 4-5 volts at idle, and come out of the CDI. I was hoping one was the AC (charge coil?) out put, but that wouldn't come from the CDI would it? I think my motor may not have a charge coil, which I'll have to remedy. Yeh wires make no sense to me, lols. Regards, V "electronically impotent" G. 6 Quote
