Honda Elite to DJ-1RR Headlight Conversion

Took on the challenge to finally convert my 1987 Honda Elite headlight to the DJ-1RR set I picked up in Japan.

Boring stock headlight

Boring...zzzzzZZZzzz

The set I originally picked up was a DJ-1R version headlight set. I really wasn't into the look.

Looked kind of fat headish

For Sale...

So I bought the much cooler DJ-1RR double headlights instead!! This sucker was a pretty rare find.

Double headlights. Clear blinkers

Sweet!!

Comparison

The butchering process. It was kind of a pain to get this on. I changed out the 87 handlebar for the ZX handlebar that my disc brake and fork came with. I modified the handlebar to make the headset fit. I hacked the headset a bit to make it fit. Wasn't pleasant but all worth it at the end.

What a mess

Initial mock-up

I wanted to keep the 87 speedo dash instead of the DJ-1R dash. I felt it was easier to convert it that way. No I got a DJ-1R dash for sale..

For Sale

I'll sale this too!!

Final results:

Finally done!!

Almost done

I had this conversion in mind ever since I bought this bike almost 20 years ago. I can't believe I finally completed this conversion. This bike is almost done. Just a ZX back rim and wing to install and I can finally close the book on this project!!

Stay tuned...

Puch Rat Rod Maxi

Its been a long time since I had time to take one of my Puchs out for a spin. Took my Puch Rat Rod Maxi for a short ride around the block. Kept it at 1/4 to 3/4 throttle most of the time. Just don't have the B@LL$ to hold it at WOT anymore. Maybe this bike should belong to a person who can test its upper limits because it has a ton of top end just waiting to be had.  For Sale?...Maybe...Enjoy...

Cafe Racer Turn Signals

Are you lookin' at me?

I installed some cafe racer style turn signals on my BLK BLK Magnum.  Naturally they were black.

One of the last Puch Maxi I built with the rest of my spare parts before I left for Japan in 2009.  It was for my cousin.  This bike pulled away from my Gila once with a guy 100 pounds heavier than me.  I say it held up pretty well from all these years...
