And on top of that, the valves are in the wrong holes. Who does this? Really.
Thats funny right there ! That poor bike good thing ya got it away from that guy.

Looking good, and you got it for a good price too. Are you pretty handy at recovering seats? I like the little kicker of foam at the back. I sent a PM to Mrs Mosh to inquire about fixing mine up. Where did you find a new head? If you find yourself with two pull starts somehow, I could really use one.

Still havent gotten a pullstarter.
They are literally like trying to buy a bar of gold.
Spendy spendy!
Hoping to buy a head off of a user here. :]
3ww rocks!

The spoiler on the seat is just my own fancy add on. I shall be the first to do this! I think...
My friend will stitch up a new cover once i giver her some templates out of thin cardboard or paper.

**350xx** · 10-28-2011, 04:15 AM

Okay!!!!
So.
Got the new 200x rear hubs today! Fit like a glove!
Now i can run honda 4/110 bolt pattern wheels!

My new head is in shipment on its way!
Progress should accelerate once i get the head!
Need to run down the freeway to get a front tire and wheel.
This guy is selling tires and wheels for 20 bucks!
Might buy a brand new tire and mount it on my rim.. hmm.

I have an electric start CT70 motor in the classified section that would be cool in a 70 if you can find a place to put the battery. Build is coming right along there. Keep us posted with the progress.

If i got a new engine it would probably be a 125.
We will see after i get this running.

**350xx** · 10-30-2011, 10:14 PM

Hubs!

Rear drum mounted up after a clear coat.

Mock up of the rear tires!

And here is the engine...sitting, waiting for the head. lol

**350xx** · 11-02-2011, 02:46 AM

Okay, lots of progress today.
Got the engine completely rebuilt, timed, and valves set.
It seems, when you tighten the 4 cylinder head nuts, that they just keep tightening endlessly.
Im afraid of wrecking something by keep on tightening.
Not stripped of course, they just seem to take forever to tighten all the way down to the required ftlbs.

Anyway, heres what i did today.

Got the head

After that I cleaned it up and took the rockers out and the cam and replaced it with my lower hour cam and rockers.

Then put everything together

Looks good with those tires! right???

But now...I have to take the carb off and one engine bolt nut, because i forgot the airbox. Haha.
So do i keep tightening the nuts on the head till i get the specified 8 ft lbs? Or what..
Thanks guys.

**350xx** · 11-02-2011, 03:02 AM

Gotta get this baby done!

**350xx** · 11-08-2011, 09:50 PM

Okay, used some gasket stuff on the carb because i didnt have a gasket, and waiting to put that back on the trike.
Also am looking for some sealant where the carb intake boot connects to the airbox because of course that isnt held anymore.
Bought a half link because the chain is so stretched out the tensioner can't pick up the slack.
Still trying to get a front tire!
Nylon seat fabric is here, just need to make templates, then sew up a seat.
Fuel filters are here, so the fuel system is ready.
Getting near a startup! Need that front tire!

Nice job on your build. Actually the first gen 70's had a "spoiler" built into the seat foam.
I will give you a nickles worth of free advice, and anyone else thinking about doing this.

DO NOT USE GLUE ON YOUR SEAT.
DO NOT USE GLUE ON YOUR SEAT.

Unless you want to buy new foam everytime you need a new cover. If your cover is made and installed properly, you will not need glue to make it lay flat.
