Been looking for a early softtail on and off for about a year now, still nothing in California. I've seen a few scrap heaps on the local register now and then, but because I want to get it registered, I have to get a running one w/ paper. Any ideas on where I could find one in California? Any z50 or Monkey Bike clubs or motorcycle swapmeets I should be checking out? thanks!

Monkeybike clubs? Prepare to be raped on the price. Ebay or your local paper, craigslist as well.

Call motorcycle shops and ask!

Your wallet is gonna raped if you want a nice one!

Mine was from my cousin. I bought it from my uncle for 500 bucks stock. i think its one of my most valued items i have bought with my own money.

they pulled the old, "roller" trick on you!

thanks for the replies. I'm not neccessary looking for a "nice" one, just one that's currently running that can be registered. As I understand it, CA has some of the toughest laws regarding vehicle registration. I've been checking all of the stated internet sources, but it seems all the bikes are a few states away. I'm heading to Sacramento this weekend, where I'll definitely spend some time riding my ex-roommate's z50 just to keep the motivation and hope alive.

yeah, always man.

its not hard to register here, they are always willing to take your money.
well, my bike wasnt registered from 1996 to 2001 and we paid for that. My uncle didnt private use it, so we paid overdue bills

you looking to register for dirt or street? i got lucky with my z cause the guy i bought it from said the registration expired last year so i went to the dmv thinking that i would have to pay but turned out that the registration was paid for. it's a green sticker but i'm working on getting it plated?
