Hi all, just to let you know that the bike is sold! tnx nico

tnx Crazy!

Hi all, I am selling my Ace. It hurts to do so, but i am moving on to a bigger bike project and can't afford to keep both. The bike has a a lot of upgrades, tweaks and spare parts. It starts and runs great, thanks to all the input, resources and support from this forum. So a warm applause for...

Did a quick photoshop to see what it would give on my ace.. looks kinda fun ;) although they would never fit.. (rear bridge is too small) 4" is maybe an option..

i have been looking around as well, mainly for upgrading the drum brakes to disk brake in the rear.. it looks like a lot of parts were borrowed from the honda cg125. and there is a huge aftermarket.. anyways, i came across this. not sure if it would fit, but looks close...

Absolutely.. other fellow Aces in DGR Antwerp?

Hi All, Getting ready for DGR next sunday. Still 2 things on my todo list. 1) Make the bike a little more quiet: I upgraded my exhaust to an OOracing front pipe and black commando style muffler. Runs great, But is too loud in my opinion.. I know "loud pipes save lives", but i prefer it to be...

Solved! Turned out, polarity was an issue.. Bulbs don't care for polarity. LED does.. After fidling with wires and connections, everything fired up as normal! nico

hia all, i am looking into replacing the rear light with a led version.. but this doens't seem to be working. If i connect the wires correctly, nothing lights up.. the leds are not faulty, they work with a battery connected. I read something about an a/c or d/c issue. Am i overlooking...

Indeed.. But i have been surfing around, and i did find a bracket to accommodate bigger disks.. mount holes for callipers should be standard.. so it can be a good fit.. http://webshop.lucdebondt.be/winkel/schijfrem-voor/mounting-bracket-for-bigger-diameter-front-diskbrake-jc-skyteam-2/ in...

Hi All, I got a reply from Freespirits and Newfren. In short, they need a minimum of 20 kits to do a production run. I also asked about the disk alone, but the disk itself isn't available as it was also a one-off prototype... So it looks like we need to boost interest or are out of luck :(...

Hi All, I have asked them for the ref number of the newfren disk. So hopefully they will get back to me asap. @HerbertD sounds like a solid upgrade, what were the part numbers you used for the cush drive bolts & bushes? nico

Front brake is also on my todo list. But Sadly, it looks like freespirit isn't producing the sets. Since there is no demand for them. (as far as they can see) I will let them know that we have some (i counted 3 ;) ) demand. And maybe I can persuade them to do a very small production run of...

Hi all, Rear brake is indeed an issue on my bike as well. stopping power isn't that great, swapped the brake pads for EBC ones (squeaking as hell) I read somewhere about cleaning the hub and roughing up the inside with some sanding paper. Another thing is was considering is ordering a...

Just a small update to let you know i received the parts.. took 4 weeks for delivery, no mails/communication from sky team parts.. And the part is also different than my original.. (i ordered a manifold, mine is in metal, this one is metal with rubber on the outside) nico
