Re: Honda Aero 50 1986 Restoration in the Philippines

Ok. So I opened the cylinder head to check for carbon buildup. Discovered there are three gaskets installed separating the cylinder from the cylinder head. I don't get it. Should there be just one? These may be used as spacer so the piston does not hit the plug but upon closer inspection, one gasket...

Re: '87 Aero 50 Mild Performance Resto

Greetings: True enough the parts are harder to find, but I don't agree that a Big-Block AF05 must run hot. The right parts - Malossi or Polini, LeoVince and a manifold/big carb conversion along with gears and tuning can make it reliable and pretty fast. There's more Satisfaction hunting down rare p...

Thank you sir but my front fender is quite perfect and needs no fixing or replacement :-) I am more concerned on (properly) painting the whole fairings to amplify the li...

Honda Aero 50 1986 Restoration in the Philippines

I live in the Philippines. I am not into motorcycles. I grew up into thinking that going more than 40mph on a 2-wheeler is dangerous and anything bigger than a 50cc moped could be deadly.
