Here's my $100 garage sale find:

Frame is out for powder coating
TB 88cc top end from AHP is installed.
Still shopping shop a pipe...Recommendations please.

Cheers,
Greg

Frame is back from powder coating... What do you think so far?

Has anyone mentioned how much you suck for finding that (before, say, I did?)

Congratulations, that's pretty cool.

Man, $100?

leftybowler22 · 06-27-2009, 08:12 PM

That's awesome. I stop at way too many garage sales just hoping to find a good deal like that. I never $^&*O@#$ do!!!

Yep, pretty much everyone that's seen it. $100 CAD = $84.75 USD, but that does not even come close as pay back for having the Z50 I had from my childhood stolen.

Awesome for $100, what about the TB Z pipe?

Binbrook, just outside of Hamilton. I usually ride my mini motos at the Innisfil Indy and Sutton 3S kart tracks about an hour north of Toronto. Can't wait to put slicks on the Z50R.

Cool, if the track in Sutton is by Sibals point, I have been there a few times.

I can imagine; I never had a small Honda OHC single as a kid (I had a Yamaha MX80, the plug foulinest machine ever and I didn't know what to do about it then; I think the oil injection quadrant must have been set to "mosquito control" or "tactical concealment") but one kid in the neighborhood had a '78 Z50A and two other kids had CT70s. Despite the suspension limitations, their bikes always ran. It made an impression, and when I got a chance to get a Z50 years later it was like being a kid all over again. Still is, really, and I've had the thing for close to 20 years now. Good luck with yours. If you're the kind of person who can appreciate what a Z50 can do, they're really pretty priceless.

Frame is back from powder coating... What do you think of the color?

grm · 09-26-2009, 10:10 PM

Work has been busy....

Made some progress. Almost a roller again...

Cheers,

lookin good

RAZZO · 09-27-2009, 09:57 AM

Super find! You stole that! Nice job so far!

Check your swingarm bushing though. If you didn't remove them BEFORE powdercoating they are toast now. The heat from the oven will have softened them drastically. Swingarm will now have play under power. $10 replacement part. CHP, DrATV etc have them. Good investment.

Great work so far. Just out of curiosity what did you pay for the powder coating?

mikemay · 10-03-2009, 09:28 PM

Hey I tried to reply to you PM but it didn't work but thanks for the PM. Could you tell me the name of the place that did your coating. I might do the same in the future.

Thanks
Mike

grm · 11-06-2009, 09:45 PM

Made some more progress. TB pipe is on, but haven't had time to do the chain and sprockets yet; either 15/34 or 16/34...
