you got splines for days!!!! lol that's plenty of spline showing to mount the outer pulley sheave. I know the dio sheave is a lot thicker than the af05e sheave. as long as you can get the nut fully on, you should be ok. the af05e starts out with less spline showing than that and it still needs washers/shims/spacers to get the belt to sit all the way down in the variator. like 1-2ish mm of spline contact. with the dios the shaft is a little longer so the 18mm wide belt can fit. the important thing to keep in mind is to pull slack on the belt from the back pulley so when you put the sheave on the front, it can slide as far and flat onto the pulley as possible. put a dab of locktite on the nut and hand tighten it as much as possible. then rotate the pulley 180* then tighten the nut by hand again. if everything looks good and straight, grab the impact and zap that sucker down tight. people mess up the splines by not slacking the belt and forcing the nut on tight. the belt cocks the pulley uneven and the pulley strips the splines. its not difficult as long as you remember to slack that belt.  |

harleyracer59 good advice! Is there a video tutorial for this? Would be awesome, and easyer to understand. English is not my mother tongue so some things might be a bit harder to get. What I saw on youtube till now was a pretty simple and straight forward procedure of putting the inner face of the variator, belt, outer face and tighten the nut with the impact gun.

Question: what is the general opinion regarding the Chinese cheap crankshafts (about $20-25) for standard builds? Are they worth the money?
Where I live I found only two variants. One crankshaft that is about $300 and cheap ones. I could not find anything in the midle price range.
Also, what is the recommended way of increasing the CC? You can simply add a new cylinder with a larger piston? Can the head be kept for mild CC increases? Let's say to 70cc? Or a new crankshaft with a longer conrod is needed to be added, along with a new taller cylinder?

Or a new crankshaft with a longer conrod is needed to be added, along with a new taller cylinder? Regarding "chinese cheap cranks", you get what you pay for. You should look into Taiwan cranks if you dont feel like spending $300 on a crank. Here on Oahu we can get Taiwan crank,Taiwan bearings, and crank seals for $100. Recommended way of increasing cc's: 1. Stock Honda crank with Honda bearings, mated to a 70cc bore kit like Malossi cast iron Sport or a Polini Contessa. --if you really want a rocket, put a Polini Corsa bore kit on it. 2. Ministroker crank (43 or 44mm stroke Taiwan crank) mated to a Polini Corsa. No need to cut the case to allow for bigger stroke crank. 3. Full stroker set up. Can be Taiwan 50mm or 52mm stroke mated to a 50mm, 52mm, or 54mm bore. 100-125cc set up. That's about as big as it gets. Most reliable set up would be stock Honda crank with a Polini Corsa. Put a PG long or an Arrow exhaust on it and go rip up the streets. |

Got the wheels yesterday, happy with the quality. Ordered some rubbers for them, next week I should get them.  I got to the point where I need to check the brakes. I found this kit on aliexpress, but have no idea about the quality of it. Any of you used this kind of brake kit on your builds? Do you recommend it?  |

Anyone can offer me an advice regarding the braking system from above?
On: suspension ordered!
Next on the list: exhaust system, braking system, carburetor, painting the fairings.

Another day, another job: Today I took the road of no return. Removed most of the frame's tabs and wire holders. I want ro repaint the frame for this season, then in the winter will re-do all the FUGLY frame welds using TIG and probably I'm going to strenghten the frame a bit plus so mods here and there.   The good news: triple tree axle for DIO AF35 is the same as AF24. The bad news: the steering stops are way off. T |

Started messing up with the frame. Removed all the un-needed tabs, fixing some dings and dents. Welded the scratches under the frame, then remade the surface with sanding discs on the angle grinder.   This dent was hammered to surface then corrected it with a bit of welding and re-surfaced. Most of the frame is prepared for painting. Will do it by spray cans for now...needs a good power wash tho, there is still dirt in some of the frame nooks.   |
