Considered throwing one of the Chinese package 110's in?
Four gears (although not a rotational box) and then you can ride it as hard as you like. If it goes bang you just throw another one in.
I think I paid under 150 for mine delivered and it's about 30 mins work to fit

When I was young and stupid (still am), I got caught with a 172cc engine in my 50cc Piaggio, thankfully I didnt get prosecuted other than the bike being impounded!
He knows the guy that'll catch him though. Hypothetically.

Don't you get sh*t all thrown up your back from the complete lack of rear mudguard?
I won't ride it if it's wet or damp so have never really noticed if I'm honest. It used to do it on my push bike so I'm guessing it will do it on this!
Not too sure, it all seems to be kepspeed or mad munk stuff now

No not got a build thread or a spread sheet! But i do have a few pics as i went along, its got kepspeed swing arm and forks, kepspeed flat bars and conversion plate, kepspeed exhaust, standard wheels powdercoated black rear and just black rim front. Brand new honda brake shoes with new springs. Mad munk headlight and switch gear, mad munk front brake lever and cable, conti air filter, home made seat, custom fuel tank to relocate the fuel cap to the rear of the seat. Original 1983 leg shields, continental 2.75 whitewalls...
Think thats about it! Il of missed something but its all more or less brand new
Love these, but there are surprisingly few proper build threads.
Some questions if you please!
Where are the indicators on the green bike?
Whats the difference in the front forks (internal and external springs?)
I assume the green one is a later bike, which is why the side covers are more square, or are the chrome ones aftermarket?
have you ridden one anothers and how do you find the straing/swept bars?
Love the speedo position on the brown bike, I guess this was a model year thing, or have you relocated it?
Again, I assume the earlier bikes had separate tanks and they were later integral to the frame?
Is the frame narrower on the early ones, or have you spaced the shocks out for some other reason?
How much difference did the extended swing arm make?
also @Rob don't go ruining yours, it's far too nice! Buy a snotter if you're going to cut it up...

I use hand signals.....
I did wonder, looks cool without them and it simplifies the switchgear a little too
For anyone interested, a friend of mine has a small business in regards to these bikes. They look absolutely awesome and are completely rebuilt/refurbished.

Jims should have indicators being a 2002 but mine doesnt need the being a 1983.
Earlier models have the slightly narrower frame and seperate tank, which seem to be a little more desirable.
My forks are modified ones by kepspeed so they are internal and external like you said but also have anti lift pegs so the front doesnt lift when using the front brake.
And the extended swing arm is preference, mine is +4cm, jims is +2cm and they also do a +8cm!! It just makes it a little more stable and a better look, a stretched look
