I was thinking Red spokes with the polished brake hub and 2 x brand new alloy rims, as a few mates have these I was thinking of taking the **** with a few black widow stickers

Well my Honda Chaly CF70 is about done, the insurance cost me £112 fully comp with no no-claims as car and bike insurance is different. I just need to mot the bike but need a new voltage rectifier as the battery is not charging due to mine being faulty. I plan to change the rear shocks and get the handle bars re-chromed at a later date otherwise thats it. I did change the chain and sprockets from a 14/35 to a 17/35 and now the bike cruises a lot better.

I have really gone to town with the attention to detail as in my opinion this is what make my Chaly look a lot better than others and have even bought original Genuine Honda frame stickers and rear light unit at £80 as the replica unit was very poor quality.

All comments on my hard work are very welcome;)
 
Mate it looks amazing. You really went all out fixing her up. Looks great. Bet u're not looking forward to that first splash of rain or is it only going to come out in the summer??
Have to say i'm not a massive bike fan but if u ever want to sell it let me no. :)

Thanks, I never intend on this bike going out in the rain, I might get caught out but it will soon clean up. Sorry to say I never have plans to sell the bike again I am not a bike fan but I will admit I love this and have wanted one for a few years now and the bonus with this one is its the same age as me:eek:
 
That looks like a very good job, not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate a job well done and it does look smart.

:)
 
Looks great Rick, like it should have when it came out the factory, congrats on all the hard work mate ;)
 
Thanks guys, The CF70 has now passed the MOT(1st time) and I have changed the rear shocks for these on the advice of MBUK http://www.monkeybike.co.uk/acatalog/Kitaco_330mm_Hydraulic_Shock_Absorbers___Chrome.html, now I think I might paint the wheel hubs red and buy some alloy rims http://www.monkeybike.co.uk/acatalog/G-Craft_10_x_2.75_Wheel_for_Dax.html

What do you think this will look like?

Well I have now finished my latest cosmetic updates, this includes having the hubs sprayed red with alloy wheels, Genuine Honda mirrors and grips and kitaco rear shocks. I plan to do a full engine and gearbox rebuild sometime over the summer otherwise this want change now apart from the new Magneto I have to fit in the gearbox, here are the latest pictures

Did I get this right with the red hubs or did I go to far?
 
Fitted a new carb that is not restrictive like the standard / original carb, plus side was this little chicken chaser now does 45mph very easily and will even did 55mph. down side is that the all the time I have had the bike it has always breathed heavy due to bore wear but with the extra power / fuel the piston rings are now blown so the engine will get its rebuild around 4 months earlier than I planned.

On strip down I have found the engine seized to due oil starvation caused by blocked oil filter (you have to take the gearbox to bits to check this). I have now ordered a 300% oil pump, alloy 85cc barrel and 85cc piston, new oil filter (this last the life of the engine) and fitted an high ratio gear box drive.

I am hoping that my Chaly is up and running and should be good for around 60mph, I wont be doing 60mph but would hope the gear ratio and increased engine size gives the bike good pull and allows a mid rev cruise at 40-45mph if not I will have to fit a smaller rear sprocket.

This is the parts I have ordered

I ordered with cmsnl in the end as all their other parts they make / sell by Rising Sun have always been of a very good quality with no complaints, I could have used monkeybikeuk but they are very expensive and TBH I think they have you over a barrel due to their knowledge on what fits what bike etc, I just cross reference the Honda parts to find the bore and stroke length to know which barrel and piston to buy. http://www.monkeybike.co.uk/acatalog...e-up_Kits.html
