I just bought a very nicely restored 1978 Honda Express NC50 with a few "extras". It has a 70cc big bore kit and an exhaust from a Honda Aero 80. This thing will do 45 when it's properly tuned! The only real problem with it is there is a hole between the fuel and oil tanks, so I can't use the oil injector. A new tank is almost $100 on ebay. I'm content just premixing my fuel at this time. It didn't take me long to have my first spill. I was leaving a friend's place and his yard was muddy. I'm not used to the torque on this thing and I gunned the throttle and the rear end shot out from under me and I flopped on the ground. I have a pretty painful bruise on my leg from the frame hitting it. Over all I love this bike! I'll post pics later.

Exhaust. I just found out it is actually off an old Honda dirt bike, not an Aero 80 Attachments:

Last one. The cylinder cooling fins had to be ground down to fit between the foot pegs. Attachments:

I like the wire wheels and the luggage rack on the back.
