Honda PA50-II = Tonka Truck

I made the trip to to Connecticut this weekend to grab my new 
PA50 - II  that my brother picked up for me on Craigslist. I spent 
several hours disassembling, cleaning, and getting to know my 
new moped. It is definitely the cleanest ped I've ever gotten the 
chance to work on. The brilliance of the yellow paint mixed in 
with the metal and black bits reminds me of my old Tonka dump 
trucks I used to play with in the sandbox. 

Here are some photos (click them for high res): 










So now the Honda sits in my living room in Brooklyn with my 
Mini Mag.I placed some parts orders today for a couple OEM 
bits that are either missing or need replacing. I will definitely 
post more once my parts for this guy start arriving. I have not 
maybe any decisions yet as to how I'm going to kit this bike. 
I'm open to any suggestions. My goal for the short term is to 
have this registered and running stock for the end of 
March thaw out.
