I'm building a 73' z50 to tear around my yard with. I've heard differant opinions on how tough this little bike will be.
will the footpegs rip out of the bottom of the motor if I land on them pretty hard? I'm going to build a tabletop jump and just want to know how aggressive I can get on this little bike before I destroy it.
I know I'll need way tougher rear shocks if nothing more. Any sugestions on what work well (hopefully without dumping hundreds of dollars into the bike)?

Just about as likely as any crf out there. bending the footpeg bracket will also be about as common as a crf, just do the same strengthening mods that the CRF guys do. Get a HD peg stay and pegs, some +1 chromoly lowers, HD front springs and some better rear shocks.

get some ZB pegs/mount. They have an extra bracket that you could probably make work on a Z.
