Honda 4-takt forum

That's the Road Tax disc holder Rob, we all have to display it somewhere on the bike, wherever is convenient and visible.

Dutch bikes have a retarding mechanism in the flywheel, that's how they restricted top speed.

Jezuz, that are a few nice mopeds I would say keep upload photos

Great restorations you've got going there. Keep up the good work. Coincidentally, my vw touran is in the same colour blue you used

I was thinking the exact same thing

A small amount of progress over the break from work, I repaired the wiring loom and installed in the frame, along with the airbox. The wiring loom had been attacked by mice, and also had some incorrect connectors fitted....

I have also prepared some parts for powdercoating...



And these are parts prepared for zinc plating...

Looking good (except for the mess your little friends made)

Very good!

Hi again, some progress to report, I got my parts back from the powdercoaters, and refurbished the horn and shock absorbers...

wow, that came out really nice!
can't wait to see a moped-like-shape made from those parts!

Not as much as I do!

Hello all, I've not been on the forum for a while but I have been busy. The SS50e restoration is complete. I built an SS50z spec motor for it as this appears to be the most powerful version - around 6bhp allegedly - the original engine sits in a box awaiting restoration to standard specification.
The UK SS50z had an alloy cylinder, larger finned cylinder head, 20mm carburetor, advancing flywheel, 613 camshaft, and 5-speed transmission.
I've not ridden it much yet, but a 'warmer' engine is on stand-by should I find the 50cc a bit slow .







Here's a video of the first start-up..

still, it's the fastest 50cc bike ever produced by Honda. correct me if i'm wrong.
just need to shift from 4 to 5 at 10000+ rpm. mine does about 45-50mph.

Very nice job by the way! love it!
