PICS / my Aero 50 on steroids / SA50 Corsa mini-stroker swap
Here ya go guys, this is something Honda never intended for anyone to do; building a discontinued scooter piece by piece.
-i built the Aero 50 back in 2002 - Doug of myscoot.com put my build up on his site when i was putting it together. Hopefully his site will be back full-swing soon. i restored my first NB50 when i was in high school, and after selling it, i totally regretted it so i built another. ** VT Cycles found a picture of my first Aero 50 i restored, and it is the picture for their link to the NB50 section.... ive never even talked to those guys - hahaha!!
These are new pics with the SA50 Corsa mini-stroker installed. When i get time i will put the body panels on and take some more pics. Even in 2002 body panels were hard to find; i bought back-ups, but of course the black ones were long gone.
Let me know what you think - it's still freezing cold here in KY, so i still have not got a chance to do any tuning.
later, jc

Clean is an understatement! I thought honda made the frames covered in grease and varnish!

I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Thanks for all the compliments guys - the only part that was original was the frame, which i had chemically cleaned, then media-blasted, then powdercoated w' Dupont silver metallic then clearcoated.
Everything else was bought new from Honda back in '02. i bought all my performance parts from Patric Day aka Daywot.
As for the wheels, they are OEM Honda from the Metropolitan. i chose to use them because they are tubeless tire applicable. the tires are SAVA slicks 90-90-10's. The Metropolitan wheels are a direct fit. The transmission is all new DIO ZX parts; and the trans gears are 17x41.
The speedo is actually the Canadian version from the Aero / Vision offered in Canada in the 80's. i scored it on Ebay Canada in '02. it wasn't hard to find at all. Check Ebay Canada under "honda scooter parts."
my next project with the Aero is to add a HID lighting system, and
possibly a Burial exhaust from Japan.
Hopefully soon it will be warm enough to do tuning, and get the engine broke in.
im in Lexington, KY -
much appreciation..... jc
