honda chaly from over the pond

[tedvegas]

hi im new to the forum ,
i purchased a chaly last september it had being stood for around 12years, looking at it properbly outside
after a strip down i had it sand blasted and powdercoated
the engine was binned for a lifan 125 new alloy wheels shocks and pretty much every thing else was been upgraded
atm is around 90% complete, just a couple of jobs to do before she goes on the road !! enjoy the pics i hope they work...

WOW that came out very nice.

I have never hear of the Puch before. What year are those bikes?

I like the looks of the Chaly. What engine displacement is it? I wish i could get my hands on one of those here in the "States"

 

[tedvegas]

hi guys thanks for the kind comments
the chaly is a 1975 model 70cc it had covered 5000miles prior to its resto and overall it was pretty bad condition with not alot of useable parts the motors lifan 125 with a 26mm carb 12hp .It rides great but very loud


the puch is a very rare bike not many were made do to the vast amounts of hondas and other jap bikes on the market ,
mine is a puch mv50 1973 with i previous owner and 1300miles on the the clock (geniune barn find )
there still big in east europe so parts can still be found

Hello There in England,

You certainly made A nice job of your Chaly -- Q :- the white walls, how as that achieved?
I have recently completed a restoration + mods (Lifan 110cc + YAMAHA Forks cut down to fit, Rear shocks + new tyres 350/10s) here in N>E> Thailand

 

[tedvegas]

hi Kambada thanks ive spent the past week finishing it off all the little jobs that take ages to do !!
i will post some new photos up soon , i like what you have done with yours mine was very close to being yellow but red was its original colour so i stuck with it,the white walls were from bought from a vespa site 350/10 and the rims are dax 350/10 alloys

 

[tedvegas]

just a couple of new pics
maybe next month i will get her on the road !!

 

[hornetgod]

I love the look of this bike. I wish they had these state side

 

[tedvegas]

^ thanks . its a shame as a lot of them are busted for spares to keep dax projects going as they share alot of parts.

just a couple more pics

I will post a few pictures of my Chaly. I have a few in my garage. They are cool bikes. The 70's ones are quite rare and there is virtually none in North America. They are very hot in Japan where they spend way too much money on them.

 

[tedvegas]

yeah cool would be nice to see them jay!
just fitted an oilcooler and sorted out the electrics so fingers crossed it will be on the road in march..

I am hoping to lower my Chaly. Can the rear shocks be taken apart and snip a bit of spring? Can I put on monkey rear shocks that are shorter? Can I snip some spring in the front shock to lower that? I am leaving the fenders off and would like to lower the bike a couple inches. What is the best, cheapest, easiest way to do this? I am just going to be cruising with no off roading. Thanks for any help.
