Alex had cut down a rusted out pipe for Rhonda, I rounded it out a bit and fitted it

+10cm swing arm New rims Hubs and brakes Loom Check

Ordered tyres for this. As its mainly going to be on road, I decided against knobblie s as wet white lines are not a good mix with knobblies. I have a pair of shinko 402s coming. Although its a dirt bike, these tyres will be good on road.

Gonna try and get a plate on friday. Wish me luck!!

Dropped frame and bars to a powder coater ..

5 more psi should do it

Hi @Beaver I ordered an R tank from aussie 5 min ago. Thanks tho. They are subtly different frames so the tanks attach differently https://www.pro50parts.com.au/fuel-tank-assy-z50j-or-z50r-red-colour 

Shopping list.. Wheels (3.50x 8" 1 pce) Hubs for above Handle bar clamps Switch block Carb cable Brake cable Loom Possibly handlebars Next month a longer swing arm. Chinas finest marketing site has provided guards, brake pedal and linkage gear lever, kick start, headlight, speedo, speedo drive, cable, tail light and indicator.. pretty sure I Got some other bits. I am struggling to find a z50r fuel tank. This is the big concern

Love your work Sir!

Hi Mr Cullen.. thurs nights mission.. wheels and maybe a loom.

49cc out...

These rims hold air lol

This morning it looks like this...

Anyone else got one of these to share inspirational pics?

So Im thinking black for the frame with red tank and plastics. White wheels. Make it look stock but not quite stock.

Ok so both wheels are rusted thru. They hold air but the tubes poke thru the rims. Wheel bearing in rear wheel brake hub is rusted siezef Front wheel brake is siezed in the hub. Motor has some compression. Will check for spark but the wires I was hoping were for lighting circuit are for a kill switch that have been cut Swingarm came off ok. Im putting a longer one on. Chain was rusted and almost solid But.... The frame is solid. I also have a nice front guard. So Im thinking.. 90cc lifan is taking up space in shed New loom so I can run lights.. Paint frame New tank New plastics New wheels New exhaust New lights New longer swing arm Gonna be awesome!!.

Well old mate was a bit optimistic in his listing. Wheels are fucked Brakes are seized Fuel tap leaks Fuel tank isnt bolted on The list goes on. But it appears to have wires for lights. No switches tho. Will get it going and see what the wires do..

Hi Everyone, as the title states I got a monkey, a Z50R from a chap in chch. Its a bit rough, but it runs. The Z50r never had lights etc so to get this on the road for Syds will be a mish. Plans include: Clean (or replace) Carb and air filter Get the missing bits (side covers, engine side cover) Change the stator to one has enough wires to power lights/ indicators/ horn (12v conversion) Mount above electrics Paint Ride In reality it will probably just be a bike that is left as is and jammed in the back of my truck for a camp ground hack, but I will have much loathing if thats the case I do have a smokey 90cc Lifan I could jam in this but I think that @Hunterkiwi01 wants that for one of his C100 projects.. Pic off marketplace as I get it tomorrow

Still havent got a smaller nibbi due to working a lot of weekends to try and keep the bills paid. So I am running a 17mm on this bike. I took it for a good ride with some local pests earlier in the month... 50 miles / 85km cost 1.88litres of thrashing in hilly places which I thought was great, However there were a lot more smiles per litre. I have an original seat that Im thinking of getting it recovered in black. Previous owner gave her a rattle can black paint job which is getting pretty ratty. If I was to paint it properly-er this summer (satin black) what paint do you folks suggest?

@i5oogt you know a bit about those metros dont you??

What are your plans?

The mighty mud bug.. you might have to convince your dad to get one.

Hunterkiwi's mini bike was the same, we put a new plug in her and it was golden.

Still think it needs 6.5HP Chonda motor Wheely bar on the back And metal flake over that purple That will get bishes!

Awesome pics and a great thread I hope you are well and the shoulder is healing well I have been enjoying your adventures and hope you keep the bikes
