I should do these updates more often
Well lets be having them updates!
Rg125f first, box of clean bits, the box of dirty bits is quite large..
painted the top yoke a few times. i should not be allowed paint.
filled the dents in the spare tank i got, it’s still low, but IDGAF
Hammerite paint job, laid it on a bit thick and forgot to use a roller so it’s terrible. gotta flat it back and do it better. not properly but better.
Forgot about this, happened a long time back, belted it round with a large hammer, took a photo but i dropped the camera and knocked the battery out as it was writing it. promise i’ll get one next time.
Head, badly in need of modernization, if there is enough meat we can do an angled squish and a bathtub chamber. if not i’ll buy an insert, make a steel cage and 3d print to hold the water in.
Next!
Lifan monster 120, advertised as a 125 (insert joke about penis size)
we have a 27mm inlet valve on this so an appropriate carb is needed. mikuni DBS28, cheaper to buy a bank of four then one.
ah didn’t need that hi comp piston
is that a rice grain in my engine?
Beautiful
On to the Wifeys Dax.
engine was ripped out for new race engine.
what cruel bastards restrict a 50cc four stroke? this is the second washer we found…
Frame repair.
new chain and sprockers, bit oh cleaning of the wheel too.
de badged! and a new engine, 86cc single speed out of a childs quad.
a spin reveals that a straight pipe 8000+rpm doing 50kmh is not all that much fun.
Stickys!
also much taller, should help with gearing.
that exhaust pipe is dangerous to small birds and single pane windows.
need a pipe, stock is fine, but it have a cat in it and is too short for the new taller engine. chop! grind booger welds, insert rusty crap pipe.
looked well. no idea how it sounds, we still have to fix the loom, it eats cdi boxes, probably the tank rubbed a short into the loom.
Misc:
New race head, actually has a 52mm combustion chamber. huge head off a vintage thingy for scale.
got the arcade cabinet looking tidy, ditched the fancy router and did it manually.
more t-moulding
stickys for my dads skyteam ace 125, stock is so bad.
when you go on hols, take a ferry, and discover an arcade where your mate Stephen Casey has been.
Got a vice! had to clean the paint off the runners under neath before it slid smoothly.
rebuilt my numbpad for the acade, lots of trimming this bit down to get the case to close properly, then glued to the face of the cabinet, works great! can’t decide what buttons do what in the config yet..
