Hello guys, sorry for the English I don't speak Bahasa.

I'm looking for a project to work on.

My initial idea was to fit a 190cc zongsheng engine in a Honda cub C70 but after trying a stock one today I'm not sure anymore. It feels really wobbly and requires a lot of heavy changes like fitting a disc brake on teh front, changing front suspension etc.

So I'm looking for ideas.

I'd love a retro bike as a base, from the 70s-80s and fit a powerful engine as I'm tired of small engines. (I miss my 50 horsepower from Europe)

Do you have suggestions of bases on which I can easily do a swap for a 200-250cc engine (or more !) that would fit better this power ?

Appreciate it friends

Hey everyone.

Long story short I live in Indonesia now as an expat, and I miss having project bikes.

I don't want to spend too much having a nice bike either, and I love the cub we see everywhere around here, also for what it represents for Asia's history.

So I had this funny thought, how about starting a sleeper project, restoring a cub and throwing a nice 190cc engine down there.

I'm more or less aware of what it implies in terms of modification, and I'm not able to do everything myself, but garage prices here are incredibly low and modifying bikes is the national sport here so there's plenty of specialised workshops.

I'm looking for a reliable source of someone who's done it before to help me understand what parts I need exactly and source them.

Any resources to share ?

And eventually opinions ?

If it's to tell me not to do it because it's good enough like this, don't bother my friend ! Constructive opinions are welcome though!
