Well after a few weeks of intense labor and great team work (well done shug) the CR80 is (nearly)re-born..
A few weeks ago when a box of bits which resembled a cr80 (part1) was dropped of to the shed, in what I thought was going to be a struggle to get it looking, the way it should be after seeing the crap that was in some of the boxes, but shug worked his magic once more and has re-built this bike and restored it back to it former glory, well except this small list of bits which are still in need of attention
Seat cover(didn’t have the staple gun for this post),
front caliper
exhaust can mount (paddy did a great job of the other front section brackets)
Once these parts are looked at and finished the bike will be ready for sale…also a better look at it in more detail in a future post…
Have a look at some of the pictures below…
feel free to leave your comments…
We had a trailer, in fact we ended up with 2 trailers.. We had our ride, a few minor adjustments to each quad, make sure all was well; especially with my 150 import, Shug re-done the valves, carb strip down, new exhaust port drilled and fixed, it was the test day for me, this day would either make me burn it or keep it..
Well after a few weeks, lots and lots of work done, the Off-road buggy/go-kart, is ready for the test run’s to begin, after waiting a while for the brake line to come, to get the back brakes working, to at least a stage were i though it would be ok
Well heres the start of it, rescued from the local scrap-heap, this rolling chassis was laying there and i felt bad about just walking past it, I knew the first time i seen it it could be something, but after pondering for a while I drove off thinking what a waste, it wasn’t until later that afternoon when the guys showed up, we talked about it and decided f**k it, and drove all the way back and shoehorned it into the back of the car….
Update: This was the finished unit, the fascia was finished with silver and the cd loading system was changed to a slot loader with the mold of the fascia just smooth enough for a great finish.
big thanks to “stevieg” and his site – www.stevieg.org/carpc/install/tours/ for the inspiration and ideas, and the the roadrunner team, and every one else in the scene, this forum has kept me up for hours, scouring over the info,,, its been a BIG help!!,,,, anyway,,, after many hours of hard work, sweat and vodka!!!!,,,, this is the stage i am at now.
I have a 7″ lilliput touchscreen upfront, i have modified the facia to take the screen, and moved the hazard light switch, and mounted a usb connector in the facia also.
Now that you’re block is ready, onto the “Final Assembly” section of the video and installing your camshaft. We recommend Crane Cams.
You will need all of your cam bearings installed first. You will need moly lube on the distributor drive gear and all of the lobes of your cam. To avoid a mess only do one section of lobes at a time and rest the cam on a journal to lube the next section. It should be freely rotating after installation.
