1977 puch newport, drove 4 hours to pick up this basket case.. got everything almost all the stock parts from a nice dude for $80..
1st pic - basket case
2nd my place of work
3rd final product
70cc kit, stuffed crank, 15mm bing, 22 tooth front sproket, 35 rear, 28mm header big boy stockish exhaust, new ebr forks.. eventually put clipons on there, and lowered the seat
painting the frame was horrible.. soo much rust, i had to soak it in that rust goo shit just to get it off.
skimped on the exhaust? why?
oh yeah, due to the throttle i was using, there was no run/off switch or light switch of any kind on the handle bars.. so i made this little box, one switch is kill, the other is to turn lights on/off for stealth mode. wires look pretty messy in this pic, but they cleaned up nicely and i tucked them away
liked the stock look, easily got up to 58 with this exhaust.. if only i put an expansion chamber pipe on there..
i'd remove the lame stickers - they don't make you go or look faster
already did =]
58..? KPH?
mph. but with that gearing it had horrrrible acceleration.
58 mhp with a stock pipe? that doesn't sound correct to me. video or it didn't happen.
Either
A. Your GPS is set to KPH
B. Your the best tuner in the State
C. Your bike is vibrating so much , you cannot see the gps or speedo your reading
D. Your adding a few mph for good measure.
I swear to god, if you actually hit 58 on that FLAT GROUND with a stock pipe...i'll give you all 11 of my mopeds right now.
It could be done. But not by that moped.
No offense.
Look don't you guys know he's lying ?
He is David christian the bad seller on the good vs bad seller list
Oh in that case we wont spare feeling.
That thing is HIDEOUS looking
its not stock
obviously
Stock Maxi's didnt sell cause they looked terrible.
Christ wrap it in duct tape or SOMETHING different
obviously the bike Isn't going to look GOOD, the whole point of the first build is, hey, I got a ped. I spent months learning how they worked, and built it piece by piece to a working condition. This again, was my FIRST moped, these pictures are 2+ years old and I've gone thru many more peds with time.
thanks for the no offence andrew.
and Ken, who are you? I don't know you, you don't know me, yeah I'm on the bad seller list because of what happened between myself and a few other mopeders 2+ years ago. Whats the point of bringing it up on a thread non related to selling anything other then being a troll.
different bars, and i agree puch stock pipes SUCK. no way you hit 58
thats
did you not read that I replaced the bars and that's not a stock pipe? =/
Its all just typing.
Your bike does not do 58.
hmm.. 70cc+22/35T+an open road.. yeah its completely plausible
lets say you have a stock bike. 50cc+11/35T gearing going 30mph that seems pretty legit
if you take your drive gear up to a 22, that means at the same rpm that was taking you 30mph on the 11T gear, will be taking you TWICE the speed on the 22T gear, BUT it just takes longer to get there.
2+ years ago? Fuck off.
You fucked over so many people!
You sold the same things to so many differnt people? And took everyones money.
so many people? there was 2 people. Just ask JR. Know the facts before you make judgments.
Yeah your right. Sorry man.
Welcome back :)
still need to meet the dudes i screwed over.. i think a mandatory punch was agreed upon
Haha. Bring your 58 mph bike to the casserally!
Register at totfest.com. come race!
sold it to some college kid in Madison, SD, after the rod bearing blew out to help pay back the dudes on here, might be able to hunt him down and find it!
you sold the bike 5 hours after making a thread about your first build? uhhh... what?
22x35? Whaaaaaat? That is the steepest e50 gearing I've ever heard of. That wouldn't even have the torque to spool out that ratio. LIES.
