I finally picked up a fifty because I found a good deal on it. It's kind of a Frankenstein bike with a whole bunch of parts from different manufacturers. I've fixed all the small things, but I have a few that have me scratching my head.
I'm going to have to do a top end rebuild because it's smoking a little bit. It's got an 88 kit, but I dont know how to identify the manufacturer. Does it even matter, or can I just buy any piston/rings for the rebuild?? I'm pretty sure it's a stock head, but I'm not even sure of that either..
One more problem. The front wheel is disc, but the caliper broke off along with the mounting tab that connected to the left fork. I was given the caliper, line, and master when I bought the bike... But I have a feeling it is impossible to repair. Any suggestions?
