Managed to paint the cream bodywork over Christmas which meant i could complete the wiring
which all accumulates in the headlight housing.

It's like a bike designed by the protomolecule.

Super cool work.

Managed to paint the panels which allowed me to complete the build .A few snags to sort out the worst being the carburation
as it runs ok but won't tick over. Tried a new carb but runs worse so need to play with the jetting.

Looks like it just came off the production line! :thumbup:

Is the carb anything exotic or are they (and the internals) easy to get hold of? Odd that both carbs were :( .

What a cracking job! That'll turn heads for sure and I mean in a positive sense.

Its an MZ 150 engine with the MZ BVF carburettor. They are a bit crude but you can get spares.
I bought a brand new BVF copy of the Bay for £35 which looks ok but is not performing.
A Makuni conversion may be needed.

Cos you're a Septic, here in good old blighty you can't since they change the law about hosting naughty pictures.

Imgur picture hosting apparently spat their dummy over something and stopped access from the UK , which is a pain for me
as all my pictures are on there.
Yes that Troll came up on my feed , looks ok if a little tired in the close up pics . Trouble is they are not worth a lot even
restored so only worth buying if you fancy one or for an easy project like me.
