Rusted Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Must be a wall ornament? 70ish vintage, seized as. Rusted though. Any idea of the vintage? Thinking of either bolt it to the building or rebuild the engine and leave it ratty as. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyWithAviators Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 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. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 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?

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 #z50clone Might call the bike Elsa, cause everything is frozen solid. It's been greased up and reassembled, fitted to the wall as a decorative piece/future project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Blackwood Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 These are sooo cool. You should make it your goal to have it rideable for the Urewera undertaking and let strangers like me do jumps on it 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusted Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share Posted September 17, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
