Stripped the rest of parts off the Aero frame and boxed everything up. I made a stand out of wood to do the swap, keeps the frame level and I don't have to worry about it falling over. http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx310/Rabbitfcker/Honda%20Aero%20Swap/DSC05992.jpg http://i766.photobucket.com/a...

I believe so, nh125 is 1 year only in the US.

Greetings: Beautiful work so far. Do you plan to add the piece that connects to the frame ? That triangulation over the Roll axis is pretty important methinks to prevent racking resisted by welded sheet alone. Also to prohibit up/down engine pitch and instability. Thanks! My plan is to weld a piece...

First test fit with the mount.

Dont forget a bump stop, im not sure why they are there but I know they keep the wheel from going too far down. Maybe to keep it from folding under. ^^yup you need that little foot that goes in the frame for some reason. Nice mount man, you should make some extra, just in case you can sell one. Loo...

Thanks guys, I put a couple hours into making that mount so hopefully it works out.

Started on the motor mount. I cut the nh125 mount down to match length of the stock 50 mount where it bolts to the frame, removed all the brackets.

I sometimes use engine brite...Just spray it on..wait..and hose it off Its toxic as heII but very effective. Yeah a couple...

Cleaned up the dirty engine with my favorite Degreaser.

I've bought 3 aero 125 scooters so far, passed up a few too. I'm always searching craigslist everyday waiting for good deals.

yep, dual shocks on the nh125.

First test fit of the nh125, swap looks doable. http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx310/Rabbitfcker/Honda%20Aero%20Swap/DSC05938.jpg http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx310/Rabbitfcker/Honda%20Aero%20Swap/DSC05940.jpg http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx310/Rabbitfcker/Honda%20Aero%20Swap/DSC0593...
