Re: Z50 vegas build

just waiting on a few more parts and graphics and then I can break in the motor and put some laps down =)

I also remeasured and i actually have a 1 1/2 still on the wheel base so after I ride it I might lengthen the swingarm depending on how it handles. This thing is built for fun, no fashion show here.
