Hey all, just found this place and it looks a great place for information.
I really want to build a rat rod scooter, i've got a Honda Vision NB50 do you guys chat about them on here? i think they are the same as the aero?
If so how the * do i get it above 25mph!!
I've managed to salvage some parts from an old MG midget car, the speedo and headlights so need to fit them
below is a piccy of her.

you may need to find a handlebar clamp that will fit you aero/vision

If you go with a new handle bar set. I would be happy to buy the plastic and turn signals around the headlight off you.
I'd rather be riding my Aero!

thanks guys! i may well hold you to that sometime.
i'll post some more up to date pictures of the artwork in the next couple of days. I'm off down the scrap yard soon so i will see what else i can find.
I was thinking what about a different rear suspension spring? would it make much difference?

So if i wanted to put a new oversize piston in, can i literally just swap it over or do i need to do anything else?
Sorry for all the questions as you can tell i am very wet behind the ears when it comes to doing any mechanical work.

you will most likely have to have the jug bored out or find a bbk for your scoot.

Interesting. Sounds like a major operation, in consideration the SB50 is fixed pulley, no variator.
Tazland 44mm kit will help, but you can't expect it to compare to an Elite SA or SR.
