Re: 79 Honda NC50 Express, barn fresh.

Thanks for the brake pics and supplier source. I will get some soon. Bike seems to be starting better after running a little bit. I found out why it is so loud. Someone drilled 4 holes in the side of it, probably thought it would run faster. I stuck four bolts in the holes and wired them so they wou...

Re: 79 Honda NC50 Express, barn fresh.

Well, I tried a little heat to get the choke slide out. It came out. However i must have been in too much of a hurry because it warped one ear where it bolts back on. I will have to drill out the hole even, hope I didn't ruin it. Anyway If I need a new carb does anyone know if a 1980 express will fi...

Re: 1984 or 85 honda gyro part

Yes,
I realize they are different, my hope was to see if i could make it work perhaps with some modification. Any ideas on this? It appears to be there to channel air from underneath while driving and could work even if a little different in size. Thanks.

Hi I bought a 84 gyro on ebay and now have it running, but come to find out it is missing some important parts. The first part is the air duct that channels air to the motor fan. I notice when riding for awhile that it makes a fluttering noise, after cooling off it seems to go away. Not sure what ma...
