That’s impressive.
I once watched a car restoration program where the guy claimed to have an AC Cobra in his house. But he’d literally taken it apart to the point he didn’t know where all the parts were. So a bike is totally acceptable. A guy I went to school with tried to restore a Vespa in his house. His girl friend left him. |

Blakbird: well yes, I don't really handle any gasoline or extremly dirty stuff at home. This bike was new, out of box, so any grease used was applied by me and sparesly where it was needed. I won't make a habbit of keeping motorized vehicles in my kitchen. I promise.
Lars. It's a cheap chinese copy of a Honda type motorcycle from 197X (found it on bikenet.se ), or there about. Many parts are plastic instead of metal, and the fit of parts is somewhat frustrating. And the fact that the screws are low quality too makes this bike a hazard. So one of the first thing before putting it all together was to get some proper stainless screws from Hornbach. And yes, the clutch I fixed well by adjusting the little clutch-screw inside the motor. Now it's right on the sweet-spot so the bike doesn't badword every time I change the gear. Oh, and yesterday I bought a new steering bar for it.
