Here are some pics of the baja completed. The motor needs a little tuning and I need to shorten up some cables, but for now it’s pretty much done. =)
Honda CRF50 Baja Completed
April 28th, 2009ZB Wiring Harness in Excel
April 13th, 2009Here’s a spreadsheet I made in Excel that shows how all the wires connect inside the headlight bucket. =)
Note: the numbers beside the colors where applicable show those wires have “x” amount of inter connects.
CBR600 Pod Mod
April 13th, 2009Last weekend a friend of mine gave me a Honda CBR600 light swtich for my ZB project, thanks Ernesto!! It’s a very cool looking pod. So I take it home and start probing with my test light…
Z Wheels
March 30th, 2009For this build, I went with 8 inch Jincheng 2.5 rim halves that I had left over from my monkey project and Honda 71 Z50AK2 hubs which I found on ebay. In order to align the rear wheel with the CRF swingarm, I machined a 10.5-11mm spacer for the sprocket side and mounted the offset rim halves so that the wider side (valve stem side) was facing the drum brake.
Japanese Scooter Rally
March 30th, 2009I purchased a GoPro camera not too long ago and thought this event would be the perfect time to try it out. But, because it was my first time using the camera and wasn’t too familiar with it… I messed up and lost half the video!! Oh well…
Making progress…
January 30th, 2009I spent some time this week installing the Kitaco Rearsets on the CRF50. It took quite a bit of tweaking to fit these pieces due to the tight clearances between the kick start lever and swingarm. I think this is due to the kit originally being designed for the monkey, but in the end… it was worth it. =)

Trail Bikes CDI Harness Adapter
January 26th, 2009In case anyone wanted to make their own adapter or just wanted to trace the wires, I took some close up pics.
A Leisurely Sunday Ride
January 18th, 2009I took the monkey out today with no destination in mind, so I just rode and rode until I ended up at the Starbucks on Melrose. I chatted with some cool people and afterwords decided to visit my girlfriend in Century City. She followed me back home and took some pictures. =)
Over Racing Rearset Install
January 11th, 2009I ran into quite a bit of problems installing the Over Racing Rearsets (backstep) on the Jincheng frame. I used 8mm derlin spacers between the T plate and frame which I made from a chain roller. This however created more complications… Read the rest of this entry »
