Purchased this yesterday to restore or modify or sell for parts. 1974 4 speed.
I would like to know what parts are interchangeable does wheels from c90 fit ss50? 12v engines ?? Etc etc
Is the original engine worth saving as it's locked solid....
Many thanks

I had one of them when I was little. A blue one XEH90M. I wish I knew then what I know now
. It might have gone a bit faster. Maybe?

Nope he is selling the engine on.
Not to me. Anyway he can strip and rebuild his own motors now.

Hey Stacksy, what happened to that CB125 you were sorting out? Is it done now? This new project looks good. Given the prices these SS50's go for, I would think a standard restoration,keeping it as original as possible is the sensible way to go.
