Honda 4-takt forum

very very nice job man! :wink: how much have you spent to restore that bike? Thanks all. As for how much it cost I've not worked it out but I did keep costs to a minimum as there were very few NOS parts involved, I tried to refurbish as much as possible. Also I had a lot of parts left from my last ...

Hello all, I've not been on the forum for a while but I have been busy. The SS50e restoration is complete. I built an SS50z spec motor for it as this appears to be the most powerful version - around 6bhp allegedly - the original engine sits in a box awaiting restoration to standard specification ...

Not as much as I do!

Hi again, some progress to report, I got my parts back from the powdercoaters, and refurbished the horn and shock absorbers... http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy294/markkingpbacc/SS50e/DSC02107.jpg http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy294/markkingpbacc/SS50e/DSC02124.jpg http://i801.photobucket ...

Very good!

I have also prepared some parts for powdercoating... http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy294/markkingpbacc/SS50e/DSC02076.jpg And these are parts prepared for zinc plating... http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy294/markkingpbacc/SS50e/DSC02036.jpg http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy294 ...

A small amount of progress over the break from work, I repaired the wiring loom and installed in the frame, along with the airbox. The wiring loom had been attacked by mice, and also had some incorrect connectors fitted.... http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy294/markkingpbacc/SS50e/DSC01896.jpg ...

Those fork rings, those that have needed them in the UK have had to get them manufactured from Stainless steel.

That's the Road Tax disc holder Rob, we all have to display it somewhere on the bike, wherever is convenient and visible.

Hey Mano, thanks for the invite. I can't make that, BUT, there is discussion amongst the Honda boys about coming over for the Hondadag in June. Our last run of the year is the Ace Cafe run in October. Here's some pictures, hope you enjoy them. http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy294/markkingpbacc ...

Thanks eric, I was always curious about the white fender I see on the Dutch bikes, so do I understand correctly, if a bike has pedals and a white fender, it is restricted by design to 30mph? How was this achieved on an SS50? I know of the word 'mofa' eric, but we don't use it in the UK, we just use ...

CL70/S65 cam is 14101-035-020, slightly less lift and duration. I use one of these in my 70 head.

David Silver can still get them, £40.85 + delivery, that's where mine came from.

As standard, the UK zk1-e also had a 12mm carb with a long throttle slide, and a fixed timing flywheel that sparked at 30deg BTDC. It was fairly slow but would still do 40mph. the later 5-speed zb2-e had a 20mm carb and a 20-35deg advancing flywheel and would do 50mph. Apart from the extra gear, and ...
