Hello fellas!

I am from Finland and I am building a Gorilla with Honda Z50J frame and with tuned Honda engine. My project started about half a year ago and when started this project the situation was like this:
Vehicle Tire Automotive tire Fender


Next thing I did was that I bought a Honda`s 4gear bottom end that had been outside for few years. I opened it up it looked like this:

Gearbox condition was nice so I used the original gearbox with new bearings:

I wanted the engine to be more powerful so I decided to fit 110cc top end for Honda`s blocks.

(This is just a testing setup with random cylinder head plates and etc)



Few images above from the engine setup job.

Right now the engine is built with 110cc camshaft, Oil pump from 110cc engine, 2 disc clutch, 110cc cylinder, piston and 110cc cylinder head with ported intake.

Next thing i do for the engine is that i paint some digicamo to the clutch and magneto cover and mount oil cooler into it.

And now you guys wonder what is happening for the monkey/gorilla. Well, it is going to be brutal Army Gorilla with powerfull engine and with hight ground clearance.


Now you see some pictures on below whats going on.


The front fork is from Sachs Madass and i needed to do some work with the front fork to fit on my monkey. Originally it was 680mm high, i lowered it a bit and now it is 610mm.

Let`s continue with the images. These are some random images from the project.

I like it!

I just missed the American Car Show in Helsinki when I was there on a business trip a couple of years ago. I was bummed because they were advertising it on the radio while I was there ("Radio Rock!"), and a number of my Finnish friends were going to participate in the show with their air-cooled Volkswagens.

If you see any VW guys and their cars at the American Car Show, tell them that I sent you to check out their handiwork and to say hei.

--Eric
If i see some VW guys, i will greet them.

Yes, i also like finnish radio station called "Radio Rock" Right now i am listening it :)

This is just a test setup to see how it looks. I am going to paint it black. And what comes to chain line, I think that I need to do some kind of chain guard for swing arm.

Ooo, that swing arm angle is STEEP. You may want to change out your shocks for shorter (you will have problems with drive chain tension and high wear on any chain guide you install) or extend your swing arm to reduce the angle and retain some of the extra ground clearance you wanted.
Yes it is steep, but i can not reduce the angle because then the rear is on too low. I think that when I place 17h front sprocket and chain guard, i dont have problems at all.

You can see that this monkey has a pretty bad swing arm angle, but it works just fine with chain guard. Land vehicle Vehicle Motorcycle Motor vehicle Car

Also notice chinese cheap aluminium swing arm that is bent like a hell :)

I have not done anything speciall lately, ordered some little parts (magneto cover, feet stand, side stand, wires etc) and done some small painting works etc. (clutch case still needs two colour layers).
On last week I recieved a letter from thailand. There came a sticker for side panel.

Then I tested how it looks with rear tire (the tire is empty) And dont worry about the ugly backpack, it is not going to stay like this if it stays at all :)
