Re: UK 81 honda melody phat n slow

Right then, what do you wreckon I do with the silencer? Iv roughly made the exhaust, making the pipe bigger as I go along to compensate the longer pipe, but silencer? Leave it alone and just weld it up? I'd like it shorter but will it ruin the engine? Still standard motor but it be running a small s...

Re: UK 81 honda melody phat n slow

Haven finished exhaust yet, only routed it round the head so far? I'm going to run a small sports filter of some kind to free up some space, then somehow fit exhaust above it? It will be tight, but going to hardtail the rear anyway so that make it easier

Re: UK 81 honda melody phat n slow

Been doing little bit more work, exhaust being a nob, wherever I place it, it's out of place and blocks my wheel, so I'm in the middle of making one coming round the head, and it be coming out behind the carb, so at least the right hand side will have a clean view, you can just see the pipe in my pi...

Re: Any other barrel fit 125 aero/lead 83

It looked a lot of work, but he sent me pics, he built the cases up with weld, then machined the new ports in them, used a 80 rod for the bigger small end bearing, but as its longer, he made a spacer, and now it's an animal for a little 70 pulling power wheelies http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss...

Any other barrel fit 125 aero/lead 83

Hi, Iv picked up a 1983 Honda lead (aero in states) needs new piston and rebore at least, and I haven had the head with it yet? So what I'm wondering is if anyone fitted a different tuned top end on one? Like aprilia/ piaggio it would also open up lots of tuning routes then too? Someone here fitted ...

Re: UK 81 honda melody phat n slow

Picked up the 125 Lead from my mate, didn realise they roll on alloys? Real retro, love it! Head and carb are missing, but should find a head, and going to run bigger carb anyway so I'm well chuffed as it was free :-) http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss140/bobspeed_album/vivaro/E63B5D9C-B038-4EC5-...

Re: UK 81 honda melody phat n slow

Well two steps forward, one step back, managed an hour on it tonight, fitted most wiring and throttle/oil pump cables, oiled them all up first, then noticed my rear wheel isn't dead centre? It's nearly 10mm offset too far, so stripped it back down and hopefully modify it tomorrow so I can carry on t...
