BLIZZO Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 in summary - i warned you. that guy is like terry53 but not quite as bad, wrecks bikes that dont need to be wrecked then wants too much for the parts. hes been wrecking mostly CTs for years, which is good if he advertises the parts as they actually are, but often flasely advertises them as being tidier when they are actually fucked / buckets of shit. do you have the pull start mechanism from your engine? i would look into trying to make that fit a brand new lifan 110cc engine possibly. or get an electric start chinese 110 and just roll electric start only 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weetbixkid Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 I have decided to stop for a while. Make a clear plan. Make stages. 1st get the frame tidy and painted. Fit new brakes and lines. Going be a while but good things take time! 2nd repair damage to plastic parts 3rd worry about an engine. I was doing it ass backwards. Getting too emotional and post buying regret when it turned out not quite to be as advertised. So no more rushing in and now its time to take it slow. Pour myself a Jack and just get busy with steel wool and some sand paper! Let's get her tidy before worrying about power, but when the time comes i have already talked to shore50s for a 125cc Lifan for it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weetbixkid Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Thanks guys. I'll hit you up @GuyWithAviators when I am at that stage. I think I need to get busy with some steel wool and sand paper. Stay tuned for a shiny framework that has had a ton of elbow greese used on it! Got to make her look clean and tidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Just be sure not to spend anything on the electrical side of things until you decide if you are staying 6v with an old engine or going 12v with a lifan 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 My2c id be putting my effort into the engine side of things first incase you do decide to go down the retrofitting route that’ll change a lot of aspects of your build. been there done it both ways 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
