I've been gradually putting together my Ace, and it's now at stage 1. (That is where I am happy to ride it around.)
It is used as a commuter, and to potter around town
Changes so far:
- exhaust largely de-restricted
- 150 big bore kit
- clip ons
- bar end mirrors and blinkers
-LED tail light and blinkers
- 16 tooth front sprocket
- new shocks are on order
The next project is to replace the instruments with a combined speedo/tachometer. ($40 on EBay) This in turn probably means a new headlight and headlight mount to really clean up the front end.
Does anybody have any suggestions for a headlight that would work well, and look the part? LED powered? I want one with side mounts, and which will clip onto the forks.
I like the Honda CR110 look, so minimalist is going to be the theme.
Also, I think that achieving a result as Inexpensively as possible is fun.
After the front end, I'll be removing the rear guard, and side bodywork.
What is involved with moving the battery up under the seat cowl?
Finally, I am keen to know what Orrible-64 thought of his cam experimentation, and how he went about grinding the profile of the cams he used, or whether he was able to buy one off the shelf.
When that is done, there will be room for a OKO flat slide carbie and open bellmouth to replace the air filter and so on.
