Latest Project

Whilst finishing it, I noticed the frame didn't match the logbook (it does now as I got it re-registered).
The engine matched (I think they were 50 apart) and as I am a bit funny (anal) with numbers, noticed the frame
that Steve had matched the logbook.
Long story short, the original 125 engine is in the re registered
bike now.
Long odds for this to happen, but it did!!

That's great news Gary!
Looking forward to seeing it on the road

Thanks, Steve. That's fine, mate.

I've got a Beedspeed wiring diagram for the custom loom they made me if your interested. There is a photo in my 'Show your ride post' or I can email it to you. That's if you want to make your own

For the sake of paying Beedspeed £22, making my own looks like hard work, Ed. But thanks all for the heads up. Google reveals:

I trust that the orange one is still going strong?
Hope all is well with you  
Cheers,

Im pretty good thanks Jim hope your well too ................... Good to see a healthy interest in the Luna range of late.
Just been catching up on past posts and sorry to see you sold your Cometa .......... Sadder still I missed the sale
Orange vega still hanging in there thanks

Ha ha that's what I thought!

Well it's been a couple of weeks with some very late nights after work in the garage sorting the electrickery out. Routing & shortening the loom as it was too long, re-wiring the Digi-Speedo & all the gubbings, adding a simple ignition switch, cutting, soldering & joining it all (running & hiding everything inside the body), & then continually testing it, to make sure it all works  .  I've finally got to where I'm happy with it, to the point I can now start finishing the build. Now got everything back so can get cracked on...

Electric box..









Timing marks made..






Ignition Switch drilled & locked in place..






Motor finished & in, Rear Hub & Mudguard on now electrics are sorted..






Front end all tested, will tidy up & start cabling tomorrow...

A work of art Steve -liking the ignition switch idea (a lot!)

Your electrical work is the best I've seen. I too went with a simple ignition switch but put mine on the centre beam opposite the steering lock, making it more difficult to simply start and ride away can only be a good thing.

Super work Steve the electrics box is a great idea and very tidy.

Nice one Trotsky - its coming along a treat and it'll be good to see it on the road

looking better every time i see it,not just the looks but the engineering side of it too

Superb work

yes, as the others say, great work, a great example for others to follow on from , well done.

more please to satisfy your luna public

Hi fellas, thanks all. Gaz & Thackers, yes a simple switch should help & having the coil hidden away will help over-ride simply by-passing the switch. Not that exciting, but here are some more Pix of my progress so far...

Wiring & cabling from headset finally taking shape...



Head-set starting to take shape...



Throttle routed & connected...



Clutch & Gear cable outers cut & routed...

looking lovely

Cheers Daz.....It Runs at last    Got plenty done today, just gotta dial the timing in, bolt on the final parts & deal with any issues that arise .  The lights flicker at low revs now it's running & on AC, but I can live with that (was spoilt while testing everything via battery!). Will probably switch the horn & brake light over onto the DC feed to help them out...    









Had to add a Capacitor as the Speedo wouldn't work direct from the rectifier, 9V battery supply for the Speedo Clock will be velcroed to the lid..






Back-end..









Front-end..












Headset finished, just got to decide on grips..

Great work, I'm really impressed. I do hope you put the seat on before going for that ride though

looking good, coming together nicely.
did you use a spacer between reed block and cylinder. matched mine up and the ports are way out of line with each other, so made a spacer profiled to match them up, hoping this will work.

very neat wiring, nice to see a bigger anorak than me for a change

Cheers snails, yes this week hopefully - with seat .
Cheers Daz, I'm all wired out now that's for sure   . Your work looks fine to me mate..
Boozee, not sure what reed-valve your using but I've got a mini atomic on mine. I just matched the reed-block direct to the inlet as there is plenty of meat on the atomic, & then had a spacer made so the Carb would clear the crankcase (TS1 Exhaust Gasket is a perfect template). My Barrel has a 6mm packer underneath as well which conveniently helps with the cable routing to the gear block.
Hope the pix help...

hi, ive got the mini atomic as well with a polini carb. i opted out of porting the reed valve manifold (got scared.) but seems like the better option. job for the weekend i think. havent needed to space the carb out as the polini carb is a lot smaller, just about get cables around it.

Looking very trick Trostky - a real credit to all your hard work mate

great work Steve can i ask if you you are going to use a packer plate and use original headcowling or are you fitting a J125 one
cheers john
