Polini Race Seat Mount

If you get one of those Polini race seats from 77, you can make one of these to mount it.

Magnum Squashum Sparkle

Magnum frame sprayed by Melvin in no gloss metalflake pitch black. Color was inspired when I was looking for a black to use for the frame and “Come on Dee” Kinsler showed me a Ducati flat grey metalflake. I still wanted black, though, and Nicole at Embee suggested just changing the base to Pitch Black and it would work. It did.

Check out Tomahawk Christophe in the Sitting Bull shirt from Altru. Sick Tomos Swinger build by 1977 Mopeds in San Francisco with slight modifications.

Variated Magnum Spray Tan

Got these back from Melvin in the perfect sesame color. We did not powdercoat these parts because half are plastic. “Come on Dee” Kinsler calls this color “Caucasian”

Slimer’s Saddle

Just Kryloned Polini Seat from 1977 mopeds for Slimer, the A35 powered Swinger originally built by 77. My girlfriend loves having painted bike parts hanging from the ceiling.

Circuit-Breaker

Phase two

Due to brittle simo and airleak-phobic pistons, here is a little different set up. The Malossi/Simonini combo had amazing pull and the best sound ever, however due to circumstances, this will be the next/current incarnation. Luckily, I had my Ashton Kutcher coolpix instead of phone cams today.

Brake-Time

This is what you need to do to add a disc brake to your build.

Measure inside drum diameter of wheel and machine aluminum to fit. Step up to a larger piece for outside of wheel. Drill 4 holes in wheel hub at 90 degree intervals. Place your aluminum mount inside the hub, mark where the holes hit the mount, drill the matching holes into the inner circle of the mount.

Place your disc on the mount and mark where the holes on your disc hit the mount. Drill out those holes.

Tap all 8 holes so they are treaded to the bolts you want to use.

Line everything up to figure out where your caliper needs to be. Mock up a thin wood bracket to use as a template for the final steel one you will make.

An end to Doppler clutch-pulley woes??

Plan 1 From Outerspace

This is the first working setup: 21mm carb, simonini circuit pipe, malossi 70cc, doppler clutch-pulley, nvt millennium ignition, malossi cases, bidalot variator, malossi head. (Borrowed Wheels)

Magnum with Variated Engine Mounted

We experienced chronic air leaks due to non flat surfaces as well as the decompression plug not being strong enough. We later permanently plugged the hole and switched to the Polini head gasket.

Color Theory

Trying to decide on paint options for variated Magnum (this photo is a working photo, engine components are not final or attached to bike at the time of this photo).

Up and Gunning

Awesome ride with the 80’s 3 port 50cc. Will upgrade this week to Doppler Crank (for stock cdi) , Doppler Clutch/Variator, Doppler Spring, Doppler Pipe, 70cc Polini cylinder/head, Malossi Cases, 19mm Dell’orto. Don’t worry, it will have pedals. We do all our test riding in the Hollywood Hills and Griffith Park.

As Christophe likes to say "A star is born!"

Almost ready for paint

1977 Mopeds Stuck it to Me

Thanks to Pat, Dan, and all of 1977 for the hook up on the Magnum tank sticker set which will be used once the variated Magnum is fully powdercoated.
