Red 'C' type Round headlamp 12v - £800 SOLD

Post by Diesel Dave » Mon Jan 16, 2017 4:16 pm

I need to reduce the fleet to make way for new 'additions' so I'll be selling off my round headlamp 12v.

Image

It started life as an LAC 50 but currently sports a Lifan 110 electric start 4 speeder semi-auto.

It's what I would call a 10 foot bike - as it looks good from 10 feet away, certainly not concours d'elegance.

The good bits:

Motor has less that 3000 miles on it.
Chain and sprockets the same
Brakes new last year
Front suspension units replaced with aftermarket and much firmer

Rear shocks replaced - again much firmer

It has a rear rack and top box that can be quickly detached - usual Rickman white poly top box.
Tyres are Conto-go's in decent knick - rear is 2.75 - no patches on tubes new with tyres.
Genuine Honda exhaust about 2 years old.


The bad bits:
Paintwork touched up with Hammerite smooth where needed
The battery is a non-electric start size so it fits into the side panel - cold mornings will need the kicker but loaded petrol station restarts are a doddle.

Other stuff

It's a genuine 'C' type so the internal tank is a genuine 4 litres with reserve.

Currently it has a 22mm ATC type carb with a foam filter but you will get a 90 sized carb and airbox with the bike as it doesn't make much difference to the performance and is noisier. Also it makes the choke easier to use as the 90 type is cable operated rather than scrummage under the leg shields.

Theres an accessory socket to power your phone or sat-nav under the bars.

Clutch side cover is early C70 so has the long dipstick and oil grades cast into it


The generator side is all Honda including the flywheel and stator.

The chain case is good and fits together nicely without too much of a struggle - having wrestled with many this is quite a bonus.

Feel free to ask questions

It's registered as a 110 so you will need to insure it as such

Surprised no one has snapped this up
Seems a bargain to me,early shape and 110 engine is a good combo

Yeah I agree from one one of the "plag" gurus too. Wish I lived nearer as I would probably buy it myself.
