Rusteds 2 wheeled rust hording farm projects

I was very tempted by this when I saw it advertised. 

A Lifan brand engine will bolt into this. They’re a Chinese copy of the Honda horizontal and go extremely well. 

Aliexpress and webike have almost every part you need to rebuild and upgrade this too. Longer swingarms, the whole works! 

Great project.

Hot damn, @GuyWithAviators showed me this too and if I hadn’t aqquired a monkey a week earlier would’ve given it more consideration. Such lush patina

 

almost looks as if it’s had the tank swapped to a earlier rigid rear end tank.

 

also lifans are the easiest engines to wire in. They come with cdi/coil etc. if your not wanting to run lights you don’t need the yellow or white wire. Plug rest into CDI and coil. Bolt coil to frame, cable tie CDI somewhere and careless first kick starting every time 

have lifan swapped 6? Bikes (with 3 on the go at the mo)

Was a little to tempted, probably paid to much the condition it's in. Keen for a ct90/atc90 motor would be the win I reckon / avoid cdi. Should chop it up and fit some atc110 tyres?

cdi over points anyday. No need to set gaps or anything. 

Also CT90 won’t bolt in unfortunately, they have a different bottom mount. Not hard to change but when a direct fit is available why bother  

The Lifans we buy from shore50s in NZ come with everything you need to start it.

Spent a few hours in the shed removing the two stroke engine from the frame and freeing the piston from the cylinder.

Also started stripping the frozen frames down

Also the new bike has different rims on it, can anyone identify what they possible could be off? Green hub. Fully sealed brake unit

Frame is 'fatigued'. Add welds and then to add some over lay tabs to mount the engine. Should be good right...

This is going to be hillbilly minibiking

Added a FZ50 for parts hauling cause why not

Answering the question no one asked. Does a 90/90-12 tire fit a FZ50? Just...

A 110/70 does not fit, time to make it fit...

A few lighting issues to sort through and fit an exhaust gasket and good to pester

31.10 update.

I like the beer crate but it was uncomfortable. Trying out a ag seat for the win. Lights to sort and go. Going to need more power as that massive 110 rear wheel has slowed it down a lot.asl got some steel pressed guards that could be cut to suit thr front, query lowering the front carrier rack too.
