rojY5sbYyjkTurning a vintage metal-bodied Honda C70 Cub into a sleeper beast might be more in reach than you think, particularly if you do it like this.I don't know about you, but I love a good sleeper build.I love them with cars, I love them with bikes; really, the entire philosophy is just fantastic. I mean, who wouldn't find a stealthy little vehicle that most people overlook and underestimate, but that can simultaneously whomp you out of nowhere with its unexpected performance? It's like when your prankster uncle would hand you a can of nuts, and you'd open it, and the spring-snake hidden inside would jump out and nearly give five-year-old you a heart attack, and he'd laugh hysterically.Only, good this time.AdvertisementAdvertisementWhat East Anglia Bikes did here was take a vintage Honda C70 Cub with a sweet metal body, then work to convert it into a stealthy sleeper of the friendliest little motorbike in the world by transplanting a significantly more powerful pit bike engine. Now, since development on the Super Cub began all the way back in 1957, it means that shed and back yard builders have had nearly 70 years to come up with custom takes on the line. As such, there's a wealth of information to draw from, if you're keen to seek it out.Build Your DreamsSome Lunatic Is Putting A Turbo Onto a Harbor Freight Motor.

One goal was to keep the hard-ridden patina of the original Cub, so the little spot of rust on the back fender, as well as the scuffed-up leg shields, needed to stay as they were. Another was to keep the overall look and vibe of the OG Cub, and not go overboard blinging it up or making it look like a hodgepodge of classic and modern aesthetics all heedlessly jammed together.So when he took the old engine out and replaced it with the new one, that meant solving a couple of problems right away. While the engine would more or less fit, the carburetor on it wouldn't; at least, not seated the way it was originally positioned. It needed to turn around, and a new solution needed to be found for the placement of the air filter. But a calm, systematic approach to figuring out how to make each bit work seems, at least from this video, to have worked out.AdvertisementAdvertisementHelpfully, some bits from a Honda CG 150 also seem to work well and kind of LEGO into place in this build, which means more time can be spent doing the harder jobs, like customizing the exhaust and finding a way to make the canister work so it's neither too modern nor too loud. It's fun to watch the thought process and problem-solving at work, and it'll be even better to hopefully see this thing run for the first time in the next video.
