New Zealand dios

Post by Pjeezy »

Well from New Zealand to Hawaii to Las Vegas back home to New Zealand,been living in the USA for the last 20 years but moved home last year I decided to get back into the scooter scene. I purchased a couple of dios to start off with. I payed 500 for 2 scooters and a motor all motors are af-18 engines already got some plans but for aftermarket parts in nz are expensive so I'm looking to get parts from the states or other forum members would be nice but the shipping is kinda crazy. I will post pictures of these little beauty's in the next day or two. Much love and respect to those that have contributed to the wealth of knowledge on this forum

One motor has a 60cc bbk on it already so I might do a mild build on that one maybe a ct mani with a 21mm carb and tune the tranny, but the spare engine I got I want to be a bit more aggressive

So I got a Sym dd50 for free and was thinking of doing a front end disk conversion on to the Honda dio sp has anyone done it or is it easier to look for sr front end or is it just the forks that I look for disk conversion? Any one got any ideas or thoughts

Scootec is your best bet in Z-land, there is also a junkyard in auzzi town that can get any part you need, I can get certain parts.
some people dream of speed, i own your dreams!

Please stay away from SCOOTEC in Christchurch .Trust me this guy is a butcher on price and sells cheap chinese knock off parts .He also only like to work on chinese minrelli clones .If you need to buy any parts you are best to stick with G9 or Red Eft Performance these guys know there stuff there gear is top of the line and they will back that up and always give the best price on shipping .Order everything you need in one go and shipping is cheap .
