What are your plans? On the lowest pic.....Make sure you clean the paint out of the sterring bearing races.

yes, the paint will be removed before i start the build, my plans are to restomod it, crf front fender, crf fork legs with guards, xr/crf motor with possible 88 kit, other than that ill keep everything stock i guess, itll be just to cruise around on

Yeah, get the paint out of the bearing races. Looks nice. Take good care of the lower chain guide. Honda only sells the longer black version for later models. The short red ones are hard to find. Not really expensive, but hard to find. The seat cover looks nice, just seems like the somehow the foam managed to shrink. Is that a 70cc motor? Are you going to clean up that motor or get a new one?

Icrash50's

ya the seatcover is in actually pretty decent shape, its very loose because most...if not all...of the staples have let go, so im gonna clean it up and restaple it and see if i need to do anything else with it or if that will do the trick, it is a '74 ct70 motor, as of now its up for grabs because i want to go with a newer crf50 motor, but if the 70 doesnt sell (i dont even want much for it) then i will eventually restore that too

What a waste of goddamn time. Throw that piece of sh*t in the garbage. Why would anyone waste there time with an old ass bike like that? must be an east coast thing. man you guys are boring!

i think the knockoff section is calling your name! this is the liesure bike...the crf is gonna be the one to smoke you, haha, if you dont come out this way in march, im toying with the notion of heading out to MI for a huge car event...ill have to slap the bike in the trunk if that happens

...some people just dont get it... haha. I half ass restored an 84 a couple years back. No idea where the pictures ended up. Those pictures of the tank bring back so many memories of sanding bondo on my 84 tank. Looks awesome, and I would do everything you did too. I ended up putting stock CRF50 fork legs with fork guards on the one i did. It was snazzy.

That looks like its going to be a really nice bike. Good work.

I think it looks sweet two bravo! What kind of engine is going in?

Icrash50's

thanks! probably a newer stock honda 50 which ill probably put an 88 kit onto, depending on how much $ i have

arlindsay1992

Did you clean up the shocks or just get new ones?

Icrash50's

they are the originals, just cleaned up

ryan2282

hey asshat why isnt my old motor going into it? or dont you have it? if you sold it the michigan mafia is gonna hunt you down and take your manhood.

Icrash50's

your motor is safe and sound at my parents house...it will be going onto the crf...one of these days, haha...i figure it might as well go into the bike that you beat, funnier that way, haha

The 82 is looking good! They look so much better freshly painted.

I know what you mean about sanding bondo on z50 gas tanks! Mine was pretty dented up too. I figured it would take 2 heavy coats of bondo to get it right. It ended up taking more like 10 coats. When I was done the entire tank was bondo covered.

You're done with the bondo now?
