I’ve got a lot of parts ready, so I’ve started to assemble my Kreidler. The engine isn’t ready yet, but most of the frame is ready.
Let the pictures speak and check back for progress in the future.
I bought the cheapest 5 speed engine i could find, it’s in a rough state but should work after a restauration. It’s had a hard life since 1967, maybe as a motocross engine?
I will rebuild everything, a bit of aluminium welding, thread repairs, flattening the mating surfaces, new bearings, seals, crankshaft etc.
The setup will be a 6,25 HP replica, 40 mm cylinder, 20 mm Bing, 32 mm cigar exhaust.
Lets see the progress so far, remember to look for picture comments and check back for more updates in the future.
Say hi to my latest restoration project. I got a 3 speed Kreidler RMC from my brother, when i found a 5 speed engine i decided to convert and register it as a motorcycle. So it will become a RS model with a 6,25 HP setup. This should be good for 85 km/h, and the police can’t do anything about me riding more than 30 km/h 😉
I will try to reuse as many parts as possible, and keep a bit of patina. I like to use my bikes and not to worry about scratches. So i’m spending many hours with cleaning, bending and buffing.
I’m also swapping the 6V points ignition to a Kokusan 12V CDI model, more on that later.
Lets see the progress so far, remember to look for picture comments and check back for more updates in the future.
