Re: 1963 Honda C100 Cub
Final exam tomorrow, so I needed to have myself some relaxing work...
Spent most of the afternoon cleaning all of the nasty grease thats been caked on for years. Got about a pound of sawdust and grease off of the motor, and proceeded to strip off little nick-nacks that need further cleaning, fixing, and paint/restoration.
First I made a new battery for it using the existing wires and new connections. They are the slip on terminals, but I wanted them covered and secure, so I shrink wrapped the wires onto the battery after making sure the connections are nice and secure. This also avoids the chance of a short circuit. I had this battery for nearly a year; Used it as an off camera flash battery once in a while, and what do you know... it's exactly the right size, 6 volts, 4.5ah, and lead acid type. Came out beautifully...
Heres the other things I removed, and labelled... I've learned my lesson from my first bike; organization is key to success, and everything one step at a time.
As she sits...
NEWS FLASH!!! As I wrote this post and uploaded pictures, my doorbell rang. It was the postman dropping off a package, which I found odd as I wasn't expecting anything for a while. What do you know... The parts came in from Bangkok already! thats under a week! and
extremely well packaged. HIGHLY recommend the seller. I'll upload pictures in a minute.
P.S. I also made you guys something, I think you'll all appreciate it... I'll show you soon
