Speedfight 2 project- MHR, Nardo - *new custom front end*

just put aerox forks on it, will be loads better than the shitty swingarm thing

 

i see you live in kent....if your not too far from me how u fancy a ride about sometime mate?

its too hard as its not a straight swap...and im not handy with a welder :rofl:

 

Going to Sothend Easter Monday, might see you there!

 

hes coming with me.
hopefuly imp:

 

if my new crank is in my engine by saturday...i think if i work my ass off ill be able to have all my 50 bore etc from my current engine onto this one.
instead of my 70 setup which i dont have yet.

anyone know how long new crank needs to be run in for?
because i may have to be riding down southend doing 40 :rofl:

 

dont need running in.

just take it steady when first done listen for any dodgy noises.

once you know its ok its ready for its arse kicking.

 

cranks dont require running in

running in relates to iron barrel kits

 

ah thats good then.
so if all goes well...looks like im coming to southend easter monday lads.

i've jsut recieved my bearings and gaskets from sip today....so hopefully will be all fitted on friday.

 

wehay....
crank fitted.....works beautifully
encoutnered plenty of problems along the way but came out good in the end.
one of the problems was lack of thread in all of the transmission casing bolts :rofl:
so basically...it's all up and running...although im running standard setup and pm tuning crank.

UPDATE
pics of rebuild:

my tool:

crank:


old bearings- you can see peices of shredded metal:

screwed bearing:

cleaned cases-4 hours of degreaser


new crank and bearings:


and how it stood before southend- before i had the front end smashed up

 

Looking nice

 

oh it has been a long time!

anyway....
lack of funds meant that it hasn't progressed much.
although i have done a lot of work, it doesn't really show.

anyone want to see my spares? :w00t:






bores belts clutches, variator, rollers, etc...



the bike im going to rebuild and get back onto the road:




and the ped as it stands at the moment:




cat and dog managed to make an appearance in the pics also as they always do!

the full ped you can see, is now off the road, as my CBT has run out, which gives me a good chance and reason to start doing it up, as will save money from insurance and petrol and oil.

i've started removing the engine from the full ped, which will go back onto the good frame in the pics, where it originally came from.

i know you all hate peugeots, but i'm stil going forward with it....although you never know i may get persuaded with a piggy lump if one comes along cheap.

i decided it would be too much hassle and money to build up from a pair of cases, as so much would need doing.
UPDATE:
i am shocked :wtf:
i rebuilt this spares bike from the frame in 2 days, including refurbing a lot of the bits, however my main objective was to have it running.
so basically, its running....but....put my crappy pug engine onto the donor frame.....and i cant believe how quick it is comapred to when it was on the other frame :wtf: unk:
im really confused....all the problems such as the rumbling and not going anywhere from take off has just vanished and the front wheel pops up at the touch of the throttle, aswell as lots of wheelspin....just from changing the frame...although i changed all the electrics aswell inc the cdi so may have been a faulty cdi before...but im sure this is one of the fastest 50's around my area.
it's totally standard aswel!
i'll upload a video soon, its on youtube, but not finished uploading yet.
anyone have any ideas why it's suddenly gone from really crap...to actually pretty fast...i cant belive its a pug unk: :drool: :msn1:

anyway, heres how she stands


cheers
luke.
and dont laugh because i said it's a fast pug

edit: heres the vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaRPDMz_kk4

i'll get a better vid as soon as i fit the rear brake tomorrow, i nearly fell off twice in that vid :emb: both at the start, one when the back comes out and the other at the bottom as the front locked up

 

thought i'd give you a taster of the paint i'm using :drool:
what you think?

 

update!
laquered a few of the panels, fibreglassed a few others ready for primer also.
let me know what you think...pictures do it NO justice at all! the colour in real life is just stunning!
