Good job finding the "fittings". Er, what are fittings?

like the bulb socket, sorry, fittings might be an Aussie thing

Alrighty, after more tinkering, it turns out it was the fittings, they were loose at every point so no solid connection, simple fix! I've got four fully functional indicators!

I took a big break from my Nifty project but I'm back at it now, done some more and getting close to having her done, mostly working out electronics, But I thought I'd share a couple of pics of where I'm up too. Keep in mind none of it's mounted properly, just sitting in place to get an idea of how ...

Hey there, I took a big break from my Nifty Fifty project but I'm back on I now, I've got it running nicely and painted and some trim and stuff all nicely squared away, HOWEVER, I"m still having issues with the electrics, mostly with the indicators, I've replaced the regulator rectifier which h...

Nevermind, figured it out.

The answer was a vice grip

No problem, I'll get some measurements and take some pictures for you today

Is it the one with the indicators on it or without?

Alrighty! So all the painting, clear coat and clean up have been done and I'm just about ready to start putting it all back together! I feel pretty good with how it's coming out so far https://i.imgur.com/j3fELSs.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3dpbVLp.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6UQnW9Q.jpg The only real notab...

Hey gang,

Had to take a bit of rust out of the might 2 litre fuel tank on my nq50, now I'm having trouble putting the retaining ring for the fuel sensor back in, is there a trick to it? I'm having a devil of a time getting it back on

Thank you so much! This is my first time painting something like this so its been a bit of a learning experience!
Hopefully I'll have some more updates this week with more painting and hopefully I'll have the electronics fully tested by the end of the week

Making progress! Here, behind the weird beer you can see the panels all prepped and hanging for base coat https://i.imgur.com/EerPnIf.jpg Here they are after base, prime and first colour coat https://i.imgur.com/aGLQdre.jpg and here they are after the white accent and clear coat (taken seconds after...

I chatted with scooter swap shop, they said they had them on backorder.

I ended up repairing mine, chemically cleaning it (thanks wikispreedia) and repainting it and its come up pretty good

Changing the whole colour scheme of the bike, including the frame!

The whole point of getting the bike for me is purely for a project, so basically the more work the better haha

The frame is now white, still needs sealing but it's coming up nice!

Ok so my plans are to do a full new paint job, so I'm stripping the frame to repaint, I tried two different methods to see which would be better. First I tried a patch with the grinder and a wire cup, which came out nicely https://i.imgur.com/N51QWzO.jpg And then a second patch with paint stripper h...
