BSJ Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I've decide to put some fat wheel and tyres on the Smash....and those black rims look the business! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiwi Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Just been chatting with the guy building mine, after he has finished my cub, he will move onto his respectful interpretation of the pictures below. The original one is by a Greek guy, resto video here: - only about 5 minutes long. Amazing gear shift, but not my cup of tea, I can't imagine dealing with something like that in BKK traffic. Not too sure if he has a buyer yet. Edited August 23, 2014 by Thaiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanW Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Yeah I've been looking at YouTube for ideas and totally agree with you about the gear change. Not sure about the red and blue chain. Love the matt paint and everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaiwi Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Is this the kind of thing you're talking about? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanW Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Here are the options for the 2014 Super Cub. Strangely no machine gun or hand grenade option. The front screen option (not shown) is a massive 6000 baht. The rest are very affordable. I should be picking mine up in the lovely powder blue on Friday. I will try and order the single seat as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaiwi Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 There's the blue one. But I can't find the single seat option in that colour. They are awesome no doubt. Japan got a crazy version of it we don't see here but I can't seem to find a picture. Would love to see a tricked out modern cub. Looking forward to seeing your ride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NormanW Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Apparently the grippy tyres don't last very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiwi Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Apparently the grippy tyres don't last very long. Yeah that doesn't surprise me. But tyres over here are cheap as chips. Plus, it's easy to change styles. White walls, knobbly, standard tyres. Something simple that can change the look a decent amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchbike Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Thaiwi, could you ask your builder if he also could use an engine with a manual clutch,( I sometimes see older waves 100/110 with a manual clutch) the thing what always has put me off with these kind of bikes is that semi auto gearbox.( never manage to make smooth downshifts ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just talked to him and he reckons it's possible. Will try find out more info and post soon. Hopefully will have pics of my build also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiwi Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Well that was quick, he can chuck the Honda Nice 110 engines in them. Will try get more info and post soon. Feel free to message me if you have any more questions about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchbike Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 ahhh the model I sometimes see with the manual clutch is not a Wave but a Nice, sort of the predecessor of the Sonic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thaiwi Posted August 25, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2014 Here it is! My first update. Here's the colour. Turquoise and it's looking awesome. Very exciting, like a little one on Christmas Eve. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaiwi Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Ha ha ha Dutchbike, what a coincidence, check the TShirt design my aunts business has just made, as of today. (With permission of course). They just showed up and bought this to me. Very cool. Very surprised, she can read minds! It's the exact same bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaiwi Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 I wonder where he gets those wheels and tyres? ?? With the tyres, I'm not sure. I know he sources the rims and if the customer wants them coloured, then he'll sort it himself. Obviously I can give more info once I receive mine.
