I will be posting pics later today hopefully,
But I am fixing my 89 Honda SE50.


List of what I'm adding or want to add:
- New Tires (They should be in tommorow)
- New Cover Bolts (Should be in soon) http://www.hondaspree.net/phpBB3/viewto ... 231#p86231
- New Gasket for Crankcase.
- New stock exhaust
- 65cc big bore (maybe, i'm looking into it)
- New side plastics , with paint job. (Maybe even front one)
- Paint my rims
- New breaks
- LED Lights under neath, with built in switch (probably last thing I'll do)
- New mirrors
- Paint the other plastics (not sure on color scheme yet for my scooter (any ideas)
- New variator with weights, etc... (Looking into getting a new one)

That's all for now, so we'll see.
Will add some pictures later :)

Side of scoot. Need's some cleaning, new variator, etc... also.
Hope to get one soon, and I might need a new belt soon also.

New bolts from bakaracer, came in yesterday. Their nice, and will look good on my crankcase :)
Image
I took off the exhaust, and side plastic. HOLY f*** it's loud without an exhaust. LOL.
Also how the * do you remove the rear wheel? I got some cleaning up to do around their also.
Image
Front wheel removed :)
Image
New tires, there going to look so bad * with black rims on them.

Uhh, I usually start with that big nut. Bring a long stick for leverage. It's loosely splined on. Little wiggles and patience. Bigger-than-stock tires may need to be deflated to clear the muffler mounting point. Those bad Knobs will for sure. :shock:
Interesting build.
With the roadracing undercowl and the knobbies, are you going to race SuperMotard? :)

i found that using a wrench on the clutch nut helps to pop it loose

first time i had my tire off i had the break locked,wife sitting on the bike, and me holding the tire and i would either spin the tire or lift the bike...put a socket wrench on the clutch nut and a almost separated shoulder later it was off :twisted:

If I got somebody sitting on the bike, then somebody else holding the tire, and then using an impact wrench, that should work, right :P

I had to get a new tube for my front tire, had like 30 holes in it the guy said. That costed $11, then they put it on for me for free, which was awesome! :)
Going to paint the front rim today hopefully, then take back tire off, and put the new tire on and get it painted, then I'll post some pics :D

Well here we go.
Got the new tires on rims + got them painted.
Image
I should of painted them black, but whatever. Still look's not bad.
Waiting for some parts to come in.

Then no more $$ on scooter parts for now.
Need to save up some money for a bus ticket to go see somebody special :D

Also somebody told me theses tires are supposedly illegal on the roads. I did not know that, or wasn't told this hen buying them :S
