Tank Painted
Painted the fuel tank today. Used CRC Strip Off paint stripper in a can. Sanded with 400 grit wet. Etch primer then Rustoleum High gloss White then two coats of 2K clear from my spray gun.
There’s some runs and orange peel, it’s not by any means perfect but it’s better than it was and the tank is protected from corrosion now.
First test ride
Testing neighbours patience
Got it running on both cylinders
The rear cylinder injector wasn’t plugged in properly
Origin
It’s Alive!
Fixed the transmission shifting issue
After much studying of the issue I added a fob of weld to the hook for the shift drum then ground it back and it worked! Yay! Engine can stay in the frame.
Lexmoto/ Buccaneer arrival
New Arrival – 1971 Honda C50
A friend put me onto this Trademe listing for a C50. It was just up the road and was a good price so I pressed the buy now button and here we go again 😀
2k Clear coat bonnet repair
The clear coat has been peeling on my car’s bonnet pretty much ever since I got it.
I had about 400ml of 2k clear left over from doing the coffee table and the weather was spot on.
It’s not quite as good as it looks in the pictures but is pretty darned good. I’ll let it fully cure and after a wet sand I think it will be fine.
CG110/125 5 speed transmission conversion
I’ve struggled for ages to get used to the 4 speed all down shift pattern on my CG110.
A couple of years ago I bought a 5 speed transmission from AliExpress. Today I tried it in some spare cases I have. It looks like it’s going to work.
Front fork swap done
I swapped the stantions from the donor roller “easy rider” bike this week. Drained the oil and refilled with ATF. There was a lot of water and gunk in them. Flushed them out before refilling.
