SOLD!

Its running! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iqwUzndSO8&feature=youtu.be

You could try a thread file. They're handy when the threads are mushroomed right over and a die nut wont start properly.

Clive cams in melbourne can grind the TB honda style race cam. I got him to make the master a few months back for my twin. It cost me a stack of money, so hopefully someone else can make use of it.

V-twin TB176 almost ready to fire. V-twin is almost ready to start. Its got oil in it and kicks over. Just ignition, throttle cables and a bit of fiddling with the exhaust to go.

Twin carbs, the tb kits come with carbs. They might be a bit small though. Once again, it needs to run before I start chasing maximum power.

Dummy assembled with timing belt. I'll have to make some sort of perimeter frame, I'm not sure yet. Need to make it run first.

Next project! I'm aiming for 20HP out of this one. 176cc V-twin. Billet cases, xr100 5sp gearbox and clutch, 2x TB 88 top end kits, custom crank with tungsten counterweights. Heads are modded for an external belt instead of timing chains. Should be the fastest, most dangerous z50 ever :)

WANTED: later model genuine Honda 50cc top end parts CONDITION: New or used, as long as they're good enough to run PREFERRED PRICE RANGE: depends on condition... LOCATION: I'm in melbourne, southern suburbs EXTRA INFORMATION: I'm working on my next project, a 5 speed v-twin z50...

Yeah, I've thought about clutches before. I haven't come up with a good way to re-make it any better than the original. Copying it with better material isn't gonna be good enough.

They'll be made in melbourne. A friend of mine has 2 cnc machining centres and is happy to have a cash job on the side when work gets a bit quiet. He's a very clever man and I have no doubt he'll do an amazing job. Not much progress yet, but we should have a plastic prototype soon. I'll post...

Hi guys, I haven't been posting for a while. To busy on the spanners! :) How many people have been having trouble smashing cases in their yx160 engines? I've been working with a friend of mine and I'm pretty confident we can make a production run of 6061 billet engine cases. I should have...

If anyone is interested in quicker, slicker gear shifting in their china, I can machine the shift drum and cases to take a ball bearing. Check out the pic. The shift drum in the pic has a bearing on both ends, but I think that just doing the end pictured will be a big improvement by itself. $60...

On some V2 heads, the holes for the exhaust studs are drilled to deep and break through to the inside of the head. Oil escapes past the threads. Unscrew the studs and loctite them back in. Should fix it :)

Nah mate I got no spares, just the one I'm using. I'm making progress with the shims though! :) And the rebound needle valve is badly made, a bit of fiddling and it works much better.
