MEXICAN MOTORCYCLE: 70īs CARABELA 350cc
Hi,this is my last proyect, originally It was a 1/25 Revell 1972 Honda CB 250, but I began to research Mexican motorcycles, and I liked Moto Islo bikes and Carabela bikes, I fond that in the 70īs, Carabela and Moto Islo copy the Honda CB looks, so I decides to make the carabela 350cc, two ciinders, two strokes.
In mexico was common the Carabelas were used to work, some of these works were to deliver milk, yes friends, the milk was put in big containers and delivered home by home, so I wanted to do a replica of these bikes, the Carabela motorcycles used Minarelli Italian engines. These kits presentatiosn were a Honda and Harley kit and Triumph and BSA kit, tI think hey were 1/25 and came all chrome. Some friend gave me the bike in a little bike: http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4049/img5848w.jpg http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/9645/img5850p.jpg It's supossed to be this bike: http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/7...5hondacb72.jpg I couldnīt find pictures of the 350cc Carabela bike so here are pictures of the one cilinder 100cc bike: http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/7...1157456800.jpg http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/703...foro20moto.jpg http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/6822/imgpnu.jpg http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/3094/imagen3864.jpg This is the 2 cilinder machine: http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/6979/carabela350.jpg I saw a revell Honda built like really worn and rusted so I got there my idea: http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/9426/cb722kits.jpg So I began my build, first removing the chrome: http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/279/img5852t.jpg http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/4548/img5869un.jpg http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/4228/img5870m.jpg http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/8090/img5873j.jpg I began the assembly, and I had to complete the frame: http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/332/img6092j.jpg http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/2637/img6831v.jpg http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/9877/img6832b.jpg http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/5816/img6835p.jpg http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/5963/img6837v.jpg I raised the handlebars: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/4732/img6840l.jpg http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/5605/img6841j.jpg Made a new air cooled head: http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/6177/img6871c.jpg And began the paint: http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/454/img6872x.jpg http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/9838/img6873p.jpg http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/8955/img6907.jpg |
