New here and have found this site to be a great resource, I am not new to motorcycles or scooters but this is my first aero/older honda 2 stroke. Figured I would post up my recent project. I bought this 86 aero off of craigslist for $60, it had been sitting for quite awhile with some beat up plastic and a 2.5 rear tire and a dry rotted 2.75 front. I checked the carb first and found the airbox to have a hole drilled on the wrong side and the carb was junk. Patched the hole, put a chinese carb on it, new plug,new tires, and fixed/painted the plastics as best I could in a dessert tan military style. I got the stickers from my supply Sgt.
I also had a question about the ruckus variator mod, I was wondering if you run the stock ruckus weights or the aero weights and if a metropolitan variator would work as well? My wife has an 03 met and some of the parts are cheaper/easier to come by then the ruckus.
How it looked when I got it:
With the wife's 03 metropolitan
the new carb
new tires mounted
progress
How it looks as of today, may add some more, I need a new speedometer cable it broke today while I was riding it, has just under 2k on it
A few of the other rides:
