Wondering what are the best sites for upgrades? I have a 99 z50. Like where can I find longer swingarms or bolt on forks, etc. etc.

Re: Z50 Upgrades

Street or Dirt?

Premium parts (Disc brakes, G-craft, Bling, etc.) or on the cheap?

The XR75 swingarm is +4 in over stock. Some mods have to be done to make it work.

Re: Z50 Upgrades

You need to cut the tabs on the inside 3/16 in and weld a brake tab.Make sure you cut the SWINGARM not the FRAME to make it fit. And you'll need to weld a brake stop for the Z50 brake panel.
Get hold of arlindsay1992, he will give you all the details.

Re: Z50 Upgrades

You will need 330, 335, or 340mm shocks.

For sure 76-78 XR75 swingarms work. Dual shock XR80 swingarms will work. I'm not sure that a pre-76 XR75 swingarm will fit.
