Re: 1998 Z50R Custom Project

Don't ask me about wooden boats or antique outboard motors. Just don't.

Dan, that is going to be a nice addition. Have you ever owned a Baja before?.

You mention Honda of Japan several times. I assume that is different than a local Honda dealership in the States? Is that where you get your OEM Baja parts? You also mentioned a Monkey 4 speed trans. What are the ratios on that? Does 4th gear have a lower ratio than .917?

Drop me an email to discuss Antique outboards. As much fun as minis and a whole lot cheaper. I'll trade for Monkeybike parts

Nope, I've not owned a Baja. Mine will be better then the OEM Baja when I'm done.

Honda of Japan has parts American Honda does not have. And yes, I can order OEM Honda parts from Japan if they aren't obsolete. Yes, this is where I got some of my NOS Baja parts.

Honda Monkey 4 speed gear ratios:

3.272
1.937
1.350
1.043

My kids have been around this stuff since birth and don't really care about my bikes. They would rather ride their bicycles and the ATC.

It's quiet. It's my guess CHP modifies the Kitaco pipe to make their works ultima. I could be completely offbase, but it looks very similar to me.

The Kitaco pipe I have has a baffle in the end that quiets it down. Under 80db on an 88cc kit.

I'll be working on it here in the next 20 minutes.

yea. The can looks the exact same, and the header looks pretty close. That pipe had to push 95 db on my 70.
