    Might have to take up that offer Skunk! Ive got another bike that is going to get raided for bits & bobs. Oh I am currently building a trailer that will be available for the welly crew when its finished too.
    Thats been sort of put on hold until I get the bucket running.
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    Progress so Far

    Well tonight was really the first opportunity to really spend any time looking over my lethal weapon. So after dinner it was off to the garage with an old school book, a cup of coffee, a few ciggies. Crank up Hauraki on the radio and make a few lists.
    First list.... what I need to do to get this thing running. The BIG list
    Second List..... what I am missing to get it running
    Third List....... what I would LIKE to do or get

    So one of my daughters decided to act as secretary and write while I had a really good look over the bike. This worked out a treat actually. It was great to be able to start at the front wheel and go over it peice by piece and finish at the rear wheel.
    At least now I have a game plan and luckily Im not missing too many bits that I cant raid from another bike that I have lying around. Im sure this list will grow as I continue but its basically all there.

    We didnt get too much actual work done tonight apart from mounting the clip ons and the top triple clamp and sort of mucking around with the fairing that came with it. But its great to know that from here on in we have a plan of attack. Hoping to have the motor fired up on the next session if it all goes to plan. I wish there was a way to fit a CDI unit so I could eliminate the battery. Any ideas>

    Will post some pictures of the start & progress made soon.
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    CDI conversion.

    You can get a similar engine XL125 etc that are CDI use there stator and flywheel to start with the crank tapor should be the same.

    Then you need to getfrom one of these engines a CDI cam as a CDI cam is longer. But you must check that the bearing that the cam sits inis the same. Best bet is Put the whole head of a XL125 etc on it.
    THen you need the CDI Ignitior etc and put that on if you understand whatI mean this is the piece on the end of the cam buton your motor you have the points on the end of the cam.

    Good Luck
