it was posted once in an earlier thread but here it is again. still waiting on the rear shock from staggs to come back. I actually put the stock susp back on it so i could race the indoor flat tracks this past weekend. went ok got a third overall the first night and sixth the second night. i need to get a bigger engine if i want to keep up with the rest of those guys. there all running at least a gpx or some other 124 engine. i guess its time to spend some money!

Here is a pic of my 81 Z - has Snow Hog tires , Norco BMX Bars and Chinese 107 motor

arlindsay1992 · 12-22-2006, 10:10 AM

My 1984 Z50R has a CRF50 top end and the TBQ Race Cam from Beatrice Cycle. Stock carburetor with choke removed and homemade Power Now intake wing installed. The airbox has the backfire plate and silver plate removed and the snorkel is cut but not the entire plastic piece. It has a Red Barron skid plate and 1979 Z50R exhaust. Also has 1979 Z50R handlebars and clamps. Running stock IRC tires but I'm looking into the snow hogs on the bike in the post above me. I have a TB manual clutch kit and an XR50 front fender. It has CRF50 fork lowers and fork guards. I consider my bike very off road capable even with the stock suspension. The stock tires get good grip on hard to medium packed trails, and the power now intake wing adds a lot of low end torque. The TBQ race cam gives a lot off the bottom too. I added a lighting coil but don't have any lights to hook up yet. I silicone sealed the flywheel cover to the cases to keep water out of the points during stream crossings. If you do this, take your time and make sure that you get all the contact surfaces. I even sealed the ignition wire grommet. So now I can ride in water up to the carburetor. I run 12/37 gearing even though stock is 14/37. The 12 gets more hit off the bottom and I don't need top speed off road. I'm almost never in third gear. And I also added a modified CRF50 ignition key switch to keep people from riding off.

Q.. very nice!!

arlindsay1992 · 12-22-2006, 10:35 AM

Yeah. 1life2live, your link doesn't work. And egmike, where did you get those fenders? Are they just cut stock ones?

dfred15 · 12-22-2006, 11:07 AM

Both these bikes on here look awesome. I love the old z's especially the ones from the 80's. I would love to get one for myself someday. Those snow hog tires make that bike look nasty. Cool Bikes guys.

jigracing · 12-22-2006, 11:48 AM

Here's MY '87. These are old pics. It now has Honda motor in it instead of the Icon motor in the pics. But everything else is still the same.

88cc50 · 12-22-2006, 11:51 AM

heres my bike, its got an 88cc BBK with race head race cam and 20 mm carb, hd clutch, high volume oil pump, kitaco +4in aluminum swingarm and a pair of takegawa 330mm shocks with carlisle x-trac 4.80x8 tires. and I forgot to mention i got +1 two brothers racing crf50 forks with heavy springs

dfred15 · 12-22-2006, 12:19 PM

88cc50 where in Rochester are you located. I only about 25 miles west of Rochester in Holley if you know where that is.

dfred15 · 12-22-2006, 12:19 PM

Awesome bike by the way

88cc50 · 12-22-2006, 01:35 PM

thanks. yeah that isnt too close to where im at.

1life2live · 12-22-2006, 02:16 PM

alright try that. the shock is still M.I.A so for now she still has the stock suspension on it.

allmakesmx · 12-22-2006, 02:20 PM

My 79 Z50 has a Jincheng 72cc motor with 20mm Sheng Way carburetor, CR-style foot pegs and Snow Hogs going on tomorrow. More to come....

Looks like you need an air filter and some front brakes. But your bikes are surely coming along. Keep it up!

Yes, that was my first ride just around my yard. Air filter, tires, front brake going on tomorrow.
Also, what is the wire zip-tied on your rear swingarm? Good looking bike, by the way!!!

ps look what just showed up at work, Merry Christmas!!!
