Left off on this build installing the new Powerdynamo ignition unit.
Next up: Foot pegs
This is where moped purest will cringe that I'm installing foot pegs instead of pedals. I guess I'm not a purest in that sense since only one of my Puch's have pedals on them. The Hawaiian style to Puch building always was eliminated pedals off the bikes.
I opted for some generic "tombstone" foot pegs from Ebay:

| Not a moped anymore? |
Next up: Headlight / Speedometer combo
Went with the chrome version of the CEV bullet headlight. This came off a 1970's Zundapp bike. It's a new old stock vintage part. Cost an arm and a leg too!! Unfortunately when I started it up I blew the headlight immediately. I later discovered that the bulb was only 6V. Now I got to spend another 20 bucks to replace this thing to a non-sealed beam 12V type headlight. Money comes, money goes:

| Shine on you |

| Chrome monster |

| View from the cockpit |

| View from well you can see... |
 |
| Is this my good side? |
Installed the speedometer cable. Had to do quite a bit of modifications to the cable in order to make it work. I cut about half the length off the original and shaved down half the thickness off the inner cable on the speedometer side. I laid some solder on the end in order to be able to shave down the thickness into a square.
Here is the results:

| I need to re route the cable for a more cleaner look |
 |
| Closer please!! |
Now the back light. Got a cheap but cool looking bicycle light from ebay. Kind of smaller than I expected but it works. Didn't hook up the brake light to this yet. Need to figure out how to get a switch to work with that blasted Lusito levers.

| Small but effected with LEDs |
 |
| Perfect fit |
 |
| Adjustable |
 |
| One side |
 |
| Other side |
 |
| View with both headlight and tail light |
Last on the agenda are for some fenders:

| Mock up |
Stay Tuned!!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of lamp is there in your chrome bullet headlight? Maybe it exists in 12V?
If you can show me the type I could have a look here in Europe where I am.
Thanks for the offer. It came with a 6v GE sealed beam headlight. A 12v version does exist but hard to find. I'm going to replace it with a non sealed version from another headlight. I'll hit you up if I need something from Europe. Send me an email for your contact info.
