1976 Honda PC 50

Honda PC50K1 from 1976 fully restored by ourselves at Classic Mopeds UK ... its a hobby that got a little out of control. We have 10 mopeds left including 3 PC50's of which this was our best work having rebuilt at least 20 PC/ PF or P50 Honda's; a house move ensures that most will have to be sold ... whatever bikes remain unsold we will look to keep. Images of the build are available on our facebook page at under125cc and it was completed in June 2022 since then it has remained in doors. We found her on the Isle of Wight in August 21, needed a coil and the engine fired up, the only issue was no paperwork and so we had to perform the DVLA dance to get a V5. The frame had been coated, most unusual and it took days to remove but what we found was an unmarked solid chassis. The decision was then made to carry out a full (rather costly) restoration. Finished in 2 pack in original Honda Blue whilst the plastic chain/ mudguards/ tool box etc were flatted back and the factory Cloud White was copied (also in 2 pack) by a local paint supplier. The tank was lined and also painted to colour. Wheel hubs were cut out and fresh bearings fitted front and rear, plus brakes overhauled. Went through the ignition fully, fresh coil, points, plug and cap etc also repacked fresh steering head bearings. Stainless spokes were ordered and Mopedland sourced new rims and with our refurbished hubs the wheels were assembled then trued up by a professional. Finally new tape, tubes and Continental white wall tyres completed the job. The centre stand is always an issue with PC50's and our fix required new 13mm steel bar secured with 'R' clips. Reshaped alloy plate was used as support for the vulnerable front mudguard mount, this is required on most PC's. Overhauled front suspension with new plastic bushes and Honda supplied exhaust studs installed to accommodate the new exhaust. The bike was carefully assembled, a new steering lock and period 'roadster' pedals fitted, then shortly after it was completed a set of very clean, original Honda leg shields (costly) came my way to complete the show. Since completion less than 10 miles have been travelled and this PC50 comes with owners manual and Honda service booklet, V5 in my name. We will be listing at least one more PC and a Novio here shortly ... a cold start video can be sent via whats ap if required, any questions just ask.
