Gemini 80

[maverick1]

Built this bike last year for the 50cc fun run in Suches Georgia in October. Could only get it in primer for the run. Ran like a top with no problems. Motor was stripped down and has new bearings, seals, piston, rings, special cut rotary valve. And repaired kick start. When I returned I stripped it back down and off to the powder coater it went. Not original colors but I am doing this for me. I will post photos as I reassemble.

Oh yeah! I knew you got it running and did your trip Rodney, but I never got to see pictures. It's gonna look great in that color!

Got the forks assembled and along with the rear shocks installed on frame. Have a sprung frame now. Next is the wheels.

 

[maverick1]

Have a roller.

That's a really cool looking bike. Can't wait to see it all back together.

[maverick1]

Thanks. I need to get to a stopping point to complete the tins for paint. Making a new wire harness as I type. Can't say enough about
Vintage Connections.

PIPE IS SICK!!!!Paint is sweet too but that pipe must sound mean and add a couple hp!

 

[maverick1]

I can't wait to hear it. Have no Yamalube. Got to wait till Tuesday.

Did the pipe come with the bike? Engine looks really nice. Wish you could of posted pictures of that part of the build. Did you make the pipe?

I could not find a chamber specific to this bike. I have been buying parts from a place in Nor Cal that specializes in mopeds and small cc bike parts.They recommended this pipe for my engine. It is a weld on chamber. I had to sacrifice a vintage pipe for the header portion.I hope there will be some noticeable gains. At the least it should sound bad azz. I will let you know when I test it. Taking it to Georgia in 7 weeks for a mountain road run. It is not a race but you hate to have people pass you.
