Yo! I'm taking delivery tomorrow of an '84 Honda cub 90 - in GOLD! Ive been concocting plans for this, and will obviously have pics tomorrow morning for you. Just wondered if y'all have any yourselves you can share or pics of cool chops/custom Cubs to get me even more excited for tomorrow? (didn't want this going on the main board as its not about cars) I can't decide whether to go for full-on chopper style, mild kustom/blinged or full blown Kustom...all I do know is I'm gonna slam the bejesus out of it! ;D    |

Do you think they have to fabb up all of the extended swingarms or get some from other models??
Some look a bit like scrambler or monkeybike style ones

Here's a pic of my 1967 c92 90 that I bought to use as my commuter and then sold last year  It was gonna get a 110 engine and a repaint&rechrome but my head eventually told me that it was a bad idea so I sold it on  I love the round headlamp ZZ models(had quite a few) but the squareheadlamp's are still great bikes, whatever you do to it I'm sure it'll look great  |

Yeh, I'm not too keen on squarelamps but it was horrifically cheap! I'm tempted to bung it right on eBay and make a couple of hundred quid...then buy a late '70's one.
Gonna see when it arrives.

Ah, so you would like one of these then  Another one of my previous rides, this one was a 77' c70zz which I put a 70 pitbike engine in. Advantage over standard was that it had a 4-speed semi-auto 'box which made it Soooooo much better to use , disadvantage was that it didnt have a charging system so had to charge the battery every other day  Steve |

I was thinking maybe Honda Dax telescopic forks & small fat tyres, Kustom metalflake paint and pinstriping... and maybe a rear stretch

Here is my current project, it's a genuine Honda replica of there CR110 race bike, 50cc DOHC. A real CR110 is worth about £25-30K !!!

My last project a 69 Suzuki U50, build out of 90% old stock, overall a much better bike than a Honda cub. Just not as quick.

Just bought these two machines, the red step-through is a 74 Suzuki F50 with only 280 from new and the project is a 63 Suzuki m12 50cc supersports.

Do you think they have to fabb up all of the extended swingarms or get some from other models?? Some look a bit like scrambler or monkeybike style ones Some of them look alarmingly homemade, do you guys get the Honda CT110 over there? Looks like the swingarm may be a little longer. Not sure if I am too keen on the tube based hardtail conversions either. www.kyus.jp/cub.htm      |
