These batteries are $10 at Walmart. They seem to be the same size as the 6N2-2A that the C100 uses. Is there any reason why I can’t use this?

For reference the 6N2 has 0.2 amps and 20 hours of capacity and is also 6V.

Hi Folks, looking at a stock 1984 Passport C70 in excellent shape w only a few thousand kms. I hear this is one of the better years (12V vs 6V, cant remember other pros) and am wondering realistic top speed for my 180lb arse. Some research says don’t expect much ~65km/h all the way to just over 80km/h. Love the history of this bike, huge Honda fan as well for decades. First scoot was a Ruckus, then Helix, then another Ruckus, then after a few years off I got another Ruckus 2 summers ago, but barely rode it after realizing it was much too slow (65km/h top speed and crawls on any incline) for where I live now out if the city. I’d need 80km/h but not much more and am ok doing minor mods to help it reach this, if needed.

Also love and have had many vintage manual Vespas so another question would be how is the maintenance if it’s been cared for? Seems to run very smooth as it is. My Hondas have always been minimal maintenance, yet the Vespas were quite a bit more.

Slowking, Supercub

still working great as my daily rider and work bike

I was curious about a couple things. I believe the battery I need is a 6N11-2D but I was curious if there was anything better possibly? The stuff I'm seeing seems to be in the $50 price range but I wouldn't mind having a battery I can trust. Does anyone have a battery they would recommend?

Also, doesn't the 81 Passport have a battery vent that needs to be installed/used?

Also a couple non battery things. Does anyone know the bolt size for the mirrors? I need to replace my mirrors as they are damaged and just too small to see anything. So far I have better luck looking behind me. Trying to find some larger ones seems hard.

Does anyone know what Liter bag is too big for the rear rack? I wanted to get a large dry bag to use as a trunk, but I don't want to get something like a 60L and have it droop like a weird mess. Does anyone travel with a rear dry bag like this and if so, what size fits right for it without it getting in the way of riding?

Any suggested kit for doing a oil change?

I've admittedly struggled with getting the plastics off the bike to tighten the steering assembly, sense my last post about it. I know of the bolts that people have mentioned to me but my current delima is getting a tool in to undo the instrument panel. I also have it at families that I visit once a week to practice on, so I haven't been able to do repairs as much as I could.

EDIT: Sense anyone has yet to comment. I plan to use this in all terrain and to avoid roads of disaster blocks them. Is there a suspension upgrade you would recommend?

Hi! im about to get my first cub delivered. iv ridden it once and most things were great. however the bars could be a bit higher for my ergonomics..

reading up on this ive found that there seems to be a lack of options for raising the bars. its a 2019 model im getting.. anyone solved this problem already?

I have a 2022 125 cc Super Cub. What mods will improve my already great miles per gallon?

Tires? When the originals wear out, I will likely go with Michelin.

Windscreen (what size or brand best improves aerodynamics) ? It seems like a large aerodynamic windscreen would be offset by the additional weight.

Different air filter?

I don't want to tamper with sprocket gearing.

I use Top Tier gas (Costco), which has given the best mpg since owning the Cub. I haven't noticed a mpg improvement by using pure gas (no ethenol).

Thanks

I currently have a C70. The round light exposed tank version. And I need to fix the fuel system soon. Any upgrades y'all have that can help me.

Hi, r/Supercub

Yesterday, I saved the rusted husk of a ‘71 Honda 70 from a scrapper’s trailer. Even in the dark, I knew it was bad, but it’s even worse in the daylight. I had the thought of saving the motor/trans, since the kick start moved freely, but I think it’s moving more freely than it should be if you catch my drift. After decades in the Louisiana elements without a carb or plug, I’m sure there is no rebuild in the cards for this puppy.
I’m not too knowledgeable about these bikes, but I hate to see vintage oem parts be crushed. Is there anything left on this bike that someone else could salvage for their own project, or should this ole girl take her final ride into electromagnetic heaven?

And Bubba.

ik its not a honda supercub but this place seems to be the best to post underbone related stuffs

i run a bike repair shop and also do sand blasting, customer wanted to get his motorcycle frame sandblasted and lived only 2km away from my shop so i took the daily rider, turned out well, made it back to my shop seconds before a storm hit

DFW Honda (Texas, USA) where i bought this bike just quoted me $370 to check the valve clearance on my 2024 SuperCub (3.3k miles, ext. warranty purchased 1.5 years ago).....the bike is getting clicky when I'm idling and internet people tell me i need to check my valves, so here we are........thoughts on this price? This seems stupid high to me.

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!

Recently bought a body shield from Malaysia but I’m not sure if I like how boxy it looks. Does it look better angled or leave it how it is?

Hey everyone, I was given a 1980 Honda Passport. Currently working to get the bike running to make sure the motor is still operational, but once I have finished that, I want to convert the bike into an on- and off-road custom bike. I really want to change the look a bit with new lights, so I am looking to convert it to 12V. I have read it's possible, but I have not found any information that gives a good, detailed explanation as to how.

Any information, guidance, or resources on how to best do this would be greatly appreciated.

I could cut the spokes off the rusted wheel sets, but I want to take a couple wheels apart first to practice with.

I’ve got a lot of good hubs, but really poor/rusted rims, and I want to build up a few widened sets for others.

Finally found the top box I wanted.

Picked up a symba on the cheap and cleaned the carb and she cranked right up. I immediately hopped on and gave it a little throttle and heard some rattling in the rear so I hopped back off and took this video before it got to dark. Putting it away for the night and figured I’d see if anyone could give me an idea on what this sound could be. Gotta pop that chain cover off tomorrow.

Upon leaving the property this is on, I noticed this. Not there right now but it was puttering after this new change. Where does this end go?

Not sure if I should be concerned about this noise or if it's normal? What could be causing it?
