my new 88 prebug build

[benji]

I rode it around my block the other day. It's a real dog w no trans tuning or airfilter, I had to cover the carb w my hand just right to get it to accelerate. I'm still waiting for my China filter to get here, but I'm starting to think I lost $4

So, bent bike (a motorcycle parts store up here) is closing and I went to check out what they had and I scored a couple good deals. I got a 3"x4" uni filter and a 10x5 itp aluminum wheel. I'll post pics soon. Now I need to find a hub for a vertical minarelli that I can bolt up my mini-fatty to!

[Meatball]

Yeah, I heard Bent Bike was closing so I called em a few weeks ago and asked if they had any 80's-90's Honda scooter parts. The guy was clueless on his inventory and told me I had to just come down and dig through the mountain of random sheit. I didn't wanna make the 1-1/2 hour drive to find out...sounds like maybe I should have!

[benji]

There was in Auburn and one in lynwood. They closed auburn a couple monthes ago. Lynwood is still open. I'm going back for bars and pegs and grips and tires before the end of the month.

Whats the tire situation like? Cheaper than internet deals? Michelin S1 90/90 are $26 free shipping right now on Revzilla. http://www.revzilla.com/product/micheli ... erview_tab

Took it out on some jogging trails... oh man this things fun! It's like a dirt bike!

[Rip_City_Spree]

Why I need to get one! More and more want something to beat off road.

[Meatball]

Rather have something stronger than a spot welded sheet metal frame for those off road bumps n jumps. My BMX days as a kid I remember snapping a couple frames on dirt jumps and back then I weighed 120 or so. Now that I tip the scales at about 200 and don't heal overnight Ive learned not to play with fire. Us old dudes are brittle!

Greetings:

Even the engine cases, while fine for paved surfaces, have been reported to crack offroad. Proceed at your own risk.

[coctailer]

There is no better place to have fun on a scooter than jogging trails.

Oh, and BMX tracks and Velodromes.

[Gearhart]

Yeah I have no idea how Ed's zuma hasn't snapped in half and somehow it still runs

[benji]

Jogging trails arnt too tough on it, not alot of jumps. I have cracked a case on my aero but not sure where, tho I got a feeling it was offroading haha.
I'm gonna have some fun on this one but eventually I'll convert it to pro street-style, low and long.
Don't think I'm pulling any stoppies on this front fork tho. Hard braking makes it dip forward so hard I think it's bottoming out haha no more damping on this fork left.

[MrJumps]

ed put saddle bags on his zuma X3

[benji]

Lowered it and put a 90/90 on the front, need to do the back still. I'm gonna do 14/42 upgears I think. They'll be straight-cut and noisy but I'll hit 55 or so.
Also, i put a 90 main jet in the carb, and I found out my mikuni carb is 16mm not 19mm.
Anybody got a rear body panel for cheap?

[birdman]

Looking good man. A 90/90-10 fit that front rim thats interesting. I been contemplating putting a prebug front end (rim, fork, front brakes, etc..) on my jog. Also your scoot looks like it wont have enough rear suspension travel and will bottom out.
