Literally the day after selling the clone Z50, I got a message from a mate -Hey I’ve got a rough Z50J sitting here that I only bought for the motor, wanna buy the rolling frame?
Slept on it for the night and thought ah, it’s an actual Honda Z50, let’s do it properly this time.
Got it home, and assembled it to a rolling frame.
Put it in the corner of the shed while I placed a couple of orders for various bits and pieces and waited for them to turn up.
then assembled.
Ended up with backdated 4L tank, 8x3.50 alloy wheels, undercowl, alloy foot peg covers, Windsheild, lowering the suspension a bunch, fork brace to lower the front guard, OEM style tail light and frame extension.
Fairly happy with how this has turned out this time, and it’s at about as far as I can get it during this lockdown. - need access to a welder/vice to make rear indicator mounts.
Keyring Details.

Back in July, I had this nugget come into my collection.
pretty rough/incomplete Z50 clone. I liked monkeys and this one popped up in budgetFitted a YX140 and a few other bits too it to make it rideable and this was it at peak nuggetness
rode it a couple of times and thought it was cool but too cramped for me/didn’t turn out the way I’d envisioned it so pulled the motor back out and flicked the rest.

Yanked the motor out of the red one, and swapped it into the white one, spent too much time on Instagram and ended up spending some coin to import some bits to make the jog cooler.
sourced some bits from Yahoo Japan
-8inch wheels (OEM is 10inch)
-UnderCowl and Rear spoiler from Japan
-OEM Yamaha Jog floormat
-repro lower rear side panels
Then lowered to a inappropriate ride height, and purchased a sweet helmet to suit the style.

Then thanks to my Scooter Dealer @Raizer, I had a old and pretty rough CE50 27v Jog turn up at my work.
(pictured next to my old FZR250) The jog ran but had had a very hard life and all the plastics were chooched/ missing various bits. As things happen, I came across a much tidier one on Waiheke Island that made its way into my shed.
Pretty cool, all original with black plate and front basket but not running.

I paid $150 for a FR50 disassembled into a pile of parts with a dead black plate a couple of years ago. Mainly cause I’m a foamer and wanted the black plate to rereg

With those being ‘done’, I dug another FR50 frame out of my stash and bought it home to make a start on.
I need another two stroke scooter to keep the balance in the shed right.
stay tuned.
