How big is the wiring loom on a scooter? I rekon we could make one easy enough

Not huge, its only got 2 fuses in fuse box and about 4 - 6 wires ?

Looks really easy

just got a quote from David on Phone , and to shot blast it all and Powder coat it in a choice of my colour its £150 , which I think is very fair =] !

So will be doing this next month and he said it will take 2 weeks ... I honestly CANT WAIT !

IM not sure ... Was thinking bright red .. you cant really see frame anyways ... What you think pal ?

Glow in the dark!!!!

YES day glow yelow ftw

Day glow yellow ? is that like Honda Civic Jordan yellow ? could work =] !

And just bought a Industrial Size 600ml WD40 Can and a big tube (70g) of copper grease ... not wanting to break anymore tools due to seizing ! lol

Morning guys ! just a quick Update -

Got a nectar card ( God I feel old ! ) and Bought a new Variator cover as a spare which came with a new kick-start and kickstart gearing which is what I need

Paid £20 for it and £7 postage ..... Funds running low again now ! lol

The stripping continued !



I took the Grips and throttle off , the Speedo and horn etc .. also took the brakes off at this point but have kept them connected ... cant be arsed with brake fluid everywhere just yet ! Im planning on changing the colour of the speedo aswell !



Mexican just took a big pieace of metal off with a big bolt ... Better keep these together !!!



LOW RIDER YO ! Engine mount bolt is off !!



My Huge Engine block ! 70cc polini ... 7 BHP of pure raw power ! watch out lads !



Wheels are off now ! .... but we need the forks off ... how do we take them off ? This is where the Haynes
manual my girlfriend bought me came in VERY handy !!!



Haynes says you need to have the handlebars off to get the forks of ... great Nearly there !



COCK ... I have to take the headset off with the steering bearings in and Even though I have lots of tools I dont have a spanner set of any sort to take this off .... This is where I got up to due to day light running out and lack of tools .. Nearly ready for the powder coating and sand blasting ! =]

Thanks for looking guys, and I would specially like to thank L.S.W for all the support he has done and for driving to mine every time I have wanted company and help ! Tank and shrek for support, Advice and tool lending =]

Cheers matey =]

Just a quick one while its cold outside, been polishing my exhaust ... I started with 3 different grades of
steel wool and the used Braso Polish....

Im also soon going to get ACF-50 which is an Aero grade anti-corrosion protecting spray that the Americans use on
Their F-22 Raptors etc ... so its good stuff ! going to use this as it will protect it and keep it clean

Heres the Engine ... took it apart last week, Buying a new one as I might aswell

Took the rollers out and Gear !



Took the gear out and it looked abit rusty and worse for wear but the teeth looked in great condition !



Some steel wool and WD-40 and I am happy with the end result ! this will go back in the ped =]



Time to look at the rollers !



There fucked ... so will buy new rollers and the casing to be safe for £60 , as it will add performance too because
its an aftermarket part !



Took the clutch out [ on the right hand side of casing ]



Theres a Clutch lock nut M28 – 38mm Hex nut that I can't get off to look at the clutch , theres a special tool to
take it off but its £11 ... so will have a think about it

Thats all for today, just got a pay-rise so frame will be getting work soon !

Nice work mate, good build thread this, good shots, well done matey

Thanks shrek, its been a bit bare lately but crimbo is always hard on the wallet , and just got a pay rise so
will get more of a move on =] just nice to do all the little bits and bobs when short on funds !

Decided to still use the roller casins as it wasn't damaged in the inside after all, so I got the cleaning bug !



Before



After ... quite happy with the results

Its with joy and regret that I announce this build Over.

Since my Girlfriend Got the same scooter as me I have donated all my parts to her.

and the good news is my girlfriend is lending me a stupid amount of money and my Ninja is Officially
Going back on the road !

Thanks to everyone who helped and watched this thread =]
