1978 Honda Z50j - Road to Rego

[Z50cruisin]

Hey Guys and Girls,

I have had this Honda Z50j for a couple of years now, and have recently decided that its time to fully restore her. I have plans to also get her on the road. Been busy making parts lists and contacting sandblasters/powdercoaters and metalplaters.

Wasnt running when i got it, after many years in a shed she had built up gunk in the float bowl. After a clean out, new sparkplug and fresh fuel, started 2nd kick

Let me know of any ideas/tips you have for the bike, i have rebuilt a couple of pitbikes before but its my first time rebuilding/restoring a Z50

Keep ou updated with progress photos as i recontruct this gem..
Sorry, The photos are a little blurry, but its all i have of her when i first got it



What it looks like currently, This is painted with rattle cans... Decided that i want to do it properly and give it the care that it deserves.

tbh if i was to build it i would look on dhz's site and look at brand new rolling chassis.. build a 124cc takey donk with a takey 5 speed in it with upside down forks and disks all round or just front
