Honda Motra CT50

Post by zippy » Thu Aug 20, 2015 10:33 am

13 hours driving in 23 hours, and got a motra.

Pics to come.

Need late dax fork length. Will need rechroming or replacing.

everything works no burning oil. 6k miles.

Forks are buggered, need some dax one to replace them or i'll have to go down rechroming route.

Pitted and seals gone.

From past experience with forks I'd bite the bullet and get the originals rechromed then rebuild with genuine Honda seals.

Whenever I've had forks rechromed and ground in the past, the finish has been better than the original and far more robust.

only down side with the rechroming, they are not cheap now :/

See if I can get some dax ones for it before that happens.

I can't split forks for the job, and price doubles for a complete rebuild.. :(

You can still buy the seals and covers etc...

stripping the forks is easy, if you cant do them send them over, and i think there's a hard chromers around here somewhere.

re-chroming way to go I think, 27mm forks. And Dax will fit but are 25mm

But get this.

Bike appears to be 6v, in rectifier only.
