Hey guys just wondering if a guy could trow newer plastics from the newer years of the Z50 onto an older bike like an 82Z50 without much trouble.

If its posible where could a guy pick up a set?

Thanks,

Matt P

Not possible. No rear loop brace, different gas tank, no mounting holes for rear plastics. Won't look right. New rear plastic from Honda is about $110 US. China plastics from a knock-off much cheaper off Ebay.

You might be able to find a good deal on a newer frame and just switch your stuff over if you really want the newer look. I personally like the old style.

Ya me too I was just considering fabbing up a new swingarm and converting it to mono shock and im not to sure how that would look on an older bike like my 82'

I know that cwbride has posted pics of a new style z50r where he made a custom extended swingarm and coverted it to mono shock its looks friggin sweet that kinda what got me thinking of the newer style plastics.

hopefully my welder buddy isnt working to hard one night and i can bring over a case of beer and see wat we can come up with
