1985 Honda Aero 50

what does it say on the side of the trans cover?

also,

where are you finding these spare engines and whole scooters for so cheap?!

It say "nothin' like stroking it". I was talking to a buddy of mine about getting it that pro painted on the clutch cover and I guess his kid (who thinks he is a auto body tech) heard it and thought it would be a neat birth day present for me. I need to blast it off and then maybe get it done by some one who can make it look decent.

Craigslist and local classifieds. I got the Aero50 for so cheap because the guy I bought it from couldnt get it to start , turns out the reason it would not start is because the coil wire was un-plugged.

Didnt get the frame welded up today. Had a issue with the mount. I needed to redesign the mount. Did that, I need to go to Lowes tomorrow and get some round bar for the supports.

[fightingplankton]

no updates?

[workdog]

None yet. I'm re-designing the mount completely. I hope to have something done tomorrow. Maybe I'll start working on the wiring

[workdog]

This is how I think the mount will be:


What do you guys think?

[fightingplankton]

depends on what thickness of metal you're using.
make sure you've got vertical supports, not just horizontal.
how many inches are you planning on extending it?
most of the new mounts ive seen have only been 2-3 inches more than stock(just enough to compensate for size)

[workdog]

I'm thinking it will be all 1/4" & 1/8" steel
I need to design some of those, thanks for reminding me!
its about 2-3" extension

[fightingplankton]

get it mounted yet?
need updates.(i like your ideas)

It just hit me how many Aero projects are going on right now. And they're all very distinct.

I also am very interested to see what a NH80's motor looks like in the NB50 frame. Should be a blast to ride when its done

[workdog]

none yet. been working on my utv to get it ready for summer. im going finish cutting the metal tomorrow.

will get pics


devenex- this should be a fun machine!

[workdog]

Finally got off my a** and got back to work on the Aero.
Im about 75% done with the mount. Should be finished tomorrow.

The equipment:

I'll get pics tomorrow when I finish the mount.

started working on the stereo install


I only had to drill one hole because on the other side I put the speaker were the volt meter was, I just had to trim it out a little bit (new one will go in the gauge cluster I built).
I wasnt paying attention when I was enlarging the other whole with the Dremel, and scuffed it up. So I got out the Bondo brand finishing putty and went to work.

Let it dry and then sanded it down and painted it flat black like the rest of the scooter.
How it sits now:

Going to put the other speaker on in the morning and finish wiring the amp up (and get pics of the amp installed )

i love it already.
although i fail to see the connection between a scooter, and anti-socialness. oxymoron?
