Heya, I'm Maikel, and new here.I recently got my hands on a pretty abused Honda PK50, and started to restore/rebuild/customize it. Thought Some of you guys might be interested, so sharing the progress here.
So to start off, the only, and most crappy pic I have of when I got it.
and then started to collect and clean parts.
Rebuild a Honda Sky caliper
cleaned all the bolt-on engine parts
more to follow
So next up was the frame, this got sandblasted and powdercoated, along with all the brackets
started to assemble some stuff
reset the odometer, because it's gonna be a brand new one after all, so why not start from zero
engine casing got sandblasted
and goodies for the new seat cover arrived this week
Awesome so far! We rarely get to see wallaroos in the states so awesome bonus content for us!
Delicious content
Really looking forward for more updates!
There's one of these out here but but the person said it's seized and he cant get bearings for it. you're fucking kidding me

Yeah, I want that thing.
I wish we got those here in America.Those are really cool.
Pretty interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Refurbed the tank yesterday. Flushed it, got it to bare metal and powdercoated it. New fuel valve found it’s place aswell. Also cleaned the mudflaps and bolted it all on.
Een Wallaroo staat ook nog altijd op mijn verlanglijstje, maar in België zijn ze een stuk makkelijker te vinden volgensmij.
Forgot to mention I also started primering the first body panels, can’t wait to get some color on them

I’m gonna awnser in English, since it is an english forum 😉
From my experience there are more Wallaroo’s in the netherlands then in Belgium. Or atleast spare parts are alot more available over there.
Sweet bike, keep the pics coming.
Testfitted some new springs in the front. Quitte a difference. I’m gonna fit a wheel in it tonight to see if the gap is doable. And then off to blasting and coating, allong with the handle bars.
very nice!
an interesting and through build. much appreciate
Little preview of the new saddle I made today
How jdm of you

Automotive upholstery not up to your snuff? This seat is gonna last longer than the OG now. Super quality work all around!

The type material is fine .
It's the pattern on the material that is , well , not to my taste . ;)
I feel ya, not my cup of tea either but it does give me lots of ideas for future styles on builds!
Remade the front shock so the brake caliper could be mounted. still rough, but It’s just a mock up atm to see wich bolts and bushes i’ll have to use. And about the fabric on the seat, it’s gonna be a jdm inspired build, so this will look nice in combination with the colors and carbon
