This second part focuses on rejuvenating the cycle part with a few important details to ensure a good ride.
Moreover, this moped will be a "show stopper" as it is the "emblem" of a band... so it needs to "shine" like a star.
So, we disassemble, clean, and replace the fork gaiters... and, of course, re-grease the entire fork...
we install new boots on the front, after fixing the speedometer issue and overhauling the brakes:
To accommodate the engine, new silent blocks must also be installed on the frame; the rubber cracks over the years, causing the engine to vibrate and even become "crooked," leading to poor performance and rapid belt wear:
After the front, don't forget the rear wheel: cleaning, greasing, new brakes, and of course, a new tire!
While we're at it, sandblasting and painting the suspension bottoms to give them a facelift.
Polishing the aluminum parts of the suspensions and toolboxes is also a plus!
Finally, new NOS logos are installed to replace the old ones, which were broken in places... the final touch!
Everything is then polished, the stainless steel parts stripped and polished... end of this cycle part.
Now we have plenty of time to move on to the engine!
See you soon!
