1988 Elite SA50 with Aero 80cc swap and trailer!
Posted: Wed Sep 04, 2013 12:00 pm
Heeelllooooo everyone! I have been away for some time working on everyone elses bikes but mine... It's about time to work on a few projects of my own again and one is the mentioned above: 1988 SA50 for $100 with title not wrecked, needs work for sure but is solid, runs and drives, will get Met front forks with rim and brakes, Aero 80 swap tuned with CR80 Weisco piston, custom pipe, 19mm delorto, full trans, new tires, and custom one wheel trailer.
I have everything to start the journey and already have the bike up on the work bench. Here is where things get interesting:
I have looked quite a bit and am thinking that the Aero 80 engine shares a lot with other 100cc engines Honda produced and sold under different names like Daelim. If that's the case then there are cylinder options etc. I also want to see about fitting a stroker Dio crank. Seeing how the cases are already bigger I don't feel there is a lot of work to do the job. Get the correct size bearings etc and seals and should be good to go. I don't see the cases being too much wider so I don't think that's a problem. What I need and or want from the community here is specs on the dio crank. Total length, diameter, shaft lengths per side, splined areas etc etc etc. Or if anyone has one that is just toooooasted then I would be happy to pay for shipping to me to use as a mock up etc. I wouldn't mind having a 125cc stroker system and have the torque. Don't care for this one to be an out of control heaven revving beast!
The trailer: a simple aluminium trailer with a cargo box and singe wheel. I have the materials and mock scratch plans.
So if anyone has some info to pass my way via the dio crank or has one in tact but just junk that I can have for mock up please send it my way!
Thanks in advance to all that offer some info and goodies!
I'll supply pics as progress is made.
Later!
