Really nothing wrong with the old one (I've seen 'em a thousand x's worse). Your struggle to remove the original proves this. I'd have just cleaned the original and wiped it down with a little Armor All. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" Doubtful the new, hard plastic edition is gonna stay in place for long, especially considering the minimal amount of adhesive applied. Don't look for solutions to problems that dont exist......

I have a '64 Raleigh with the same hub, horizontal top tube. These bikes with the north road handlebars are great to ride. I've been through and ridden around 15 different bikes. These types are my favourite. They aren't 'performance' bikes but they sure are fun to ride whilst watching the world go by. It's that upright position. The Raleigh 'Huffy Sportsman' will last many more decades.

Yeah, my wife loves the bike and refuses to replace it with a modern, lighter, faster bike.

Have the same box for the last 29 yrs what size latches did you use one of mine is broken plus what did you use to divide the top of the case looks like a thin piece of plastic so the sockets dont fall out
@randomtasks Ай бұрын
I used some basic latches from the hardware store that are 2 cm wide and 4 cm long. I initially used them on the plastic case, but then when the rear hinge split, I gave up on the plastic case. As for keeping the bits in place, it’s a piece of roughly 1 cm thick stiff foam. I used in my plastic case initially for the same reason.

Sorry if I didn't catch it, but how long did this conversion take you to do and how much did it cost (without scooter)?
@randomtasks 3 ай бұрын
I did this over the course of 2 months, working only on weekends. Part of that time was spent mocking up the coupling bracket between the two swing arms, and then waiting for it to be manufactured. If I were to do the same exact conversion again, I would order what I needed ahead of time and could get it done in two weekends. As for cost, the bracket was roughly £200 and the aftermarket performance controller was about £300. I already had all of the NIU components, so that was probably about £800 worth of stuff, including the battery and charger.

really great video, thanks for sharing! are there detailed instructions on how to wire the amp anywhere? or did you already just have this knowlege? also, did you find it absolutely necessary to create that mount from scrap metal, or is it possible to secure the amp to the stock setup? Ive replaced my speakers but things still dont sound great and I'm assuming it's a power issue so thinking an amp replacement is probably necessary.
@randomtasks 4 ай бұрын
I’m glad you liked it. Admittedly, I’ve installed dozens of audio systems, so I might have glossed over the wiring. Basically, an amp needs constant power, a ground, and a remote turn on signal (so it turns on and off with the stereo). Given that there was an old amp that had power and ground wires, I reused them. I tested which wire was which with my multi meter. For the remote turn on, I connected the wire to the power antenna connection. Other than that, its audio in and audio out.

Good to see someone hanging on to their US made Craftsman tools. Not too confident about the new box tho. Maybe a little reinforcement at each corner? I remember buying my "mechanic's set" back in the early nineties. Similar looking case to yours w texture on the outside and a tray that lifted up/out for access to one big compartment beneath it. Lent it to a friend who babysat it for almost a decade. Only thing wrong is one of the plastic latches came off years ago while the other doesn't do its job anymore. O and I'm constantly replenishing the 10mm sockets, both short and deep, 1/4" and 3/8" drive. Your vid got the gears spinning now. Gonna check back to see 1yr 3yr updates.

I fixed it and reinstalled it. It rained last night, so I need to go check for water . . .
