Shanghai Shuttle

My Honda PA50II whose engine seals I have replaced three times. Right now I'm running my 64cc Polini kit on an NOS Chinese clone bottom end, but I'm not sure how long that's going to last with the new pipe I'm building for it. It's a great little bike and my first variated moped. Click the picture for more.
