hi all,
i've just been promised my old cutdown pk frame back, no forks engine, bugger all!! but i'm over the moon!! it used to be a tidy'ish pk100s my brother had. he gave it me about 8years ago (my first scoot) and i had it in a few different incarnations and ended up chopping it and putting a px166 lump in. then about 4 years ago i sold the frame and abunch of bits to a mate, whos just given it back to me!!
here's how she used to look;
i think you'll agree an object of beauty and refinement ;D
i'm not really sure what to do with it, as i've spent every bit of cash i have on my v100 m1l... i really can't afford to spend anything on this at all... so i'm thinking modern vespa et forks/disc, some downhill bars with controls and lights scavenged from breakers/friends.. for the motor i'd kind of like to do somthing cheap but crazy, i've allways like the idea of grafting aircooled kart barrel on a smally.. those fixed gear 100cc karts make about 16hp+ and still have really wide powerbands... they usually have a bore/stroke around 50/51 and are roatry valve into the cases..... also i've seen complete engines including motoplat ignition go on ebay for about £40!! the frames cut so i wouldn't bother with a fan... and i have a very very cheap tame engineer at my disposal ;D ;D or i'd just like to do a real retro tune of old standard stuff, see what power i could get from a standard barrel and home made pipe...hmmm i dunno...
or i might cut every thing off it and make a spinter...
just ideas... this'll be very long term as i'm out of cash and we have another baby due week after next...
