Re: Quest for disk brake

Wow nice work. I am loving the disk setup on my ZX Dio. I do need another set of Dio alloys though! What would be the cost of your setup?

Re: 1991 Honda NH80

Well ladies and gents we depart my hometown tomorrow (Saturday) at 6am bound for Cromwell NZ 300miles away. Then it will be a long but rewarding slog home. A few issues that I might face - on top of the already mentioned ones- are the high gusting winds at the moment and any rain. Hopefully it stays...

Re: 1991 Honda NH80

A quick update. The spirit of adventure is alive and well! The scooter has been paid for. Now that the silly season is over I will organise heading down south to get the scooter. I will drive down with a trailer and ride the scooter home having the option of trailering her home if it all hits the pr...

Re: glue for plastics on spree

If using MEK make sure you wear all the safety gear you can. This stuff is nasty and is a well known carcinogen. At the very least us thick disposable gloves and in a well ventilated area.

Re: Honda Nifty 125cc

Some fresh pics. Frame and wheels painted. Other forks installed. Slowly getting there. Did I mention I got Dio alloys! They look great.

The fender was made by the previous owner by chopping and glassing the old one. Thanks to Paulpauly7's father we now have a nice mould to reproduce them....

Re: Custom parts for the elite/spree..suggestions. LED headl

If you can make one of these headlight kits for the nifty fifty with round headlight I would be very keen! If not then I will have to buy a USA Spree headset!

Re: Honda Nifty 125cc

Well slow progress. The engine should be done at shop soon then I can it port etc. The frame has been stripped and rust proofed.
