As alot of you would probably know by now, iv got a z50J in dire-straights condition.. that is, VERY low on compression, broken bars, pretty rooted electrics.. stuffed tyres, worn forks, missing lights, blah blah.. the pics explain..
Im wondering do I opt out of trying to restore the old girl and make something useful of it, ie: 'normal' bars, forks, slap in the spare ducar, or what!?! It hasnt got a compliance plate so restoring her for road use is going to be kind of pointless.. would look good, but id be afraid to ride it.. thus the stunt bike idea.. would also like to keep this to a budget of between 500-1k.
Just after some options atm, if its possible to get an aftermarket fork, how to adapt the bars, if the ducar will fit, the bike itself is not within my walking distance(is at the other house) so im just thinking with my fingers, and throwing up some ideas.. they may not be possible, i may get kicked in the groin by the enthusiasts, i may get flamed by you all, but give me your thoughts!
this is what WE(that is us as a forum) have to work with.
If needed i can get more detailed photos but im just after ideas at this stage..
Oh and if you dont know ANYTHING about NOTHING, please dont bother commenting or giving an opinion.. Im after serious thoughts, not jibberish.
I already predict Hillz an Jeze saying Stunt it, QA an 50's Bro saying resto lol.
Thanks in advance fellas(and girls-which i havent noticed many at all of late!)
