    My ZB50!

    Here she is. Finally got her home and had a chance to ride it around. This thing is a blast . It is all original with only 500 miles. This thing almost looks new. I am very happy with it. I have started talking with z88r about beefing it up. I am probably gonna go with a 108 or 117 stroker motor. Also gonna put a 4-speed tranny in it.

    Congrats! I love my ZB50, it's a blast to ride and it only has a kitaco 75cc light bore kit. You won't see too many ZB's kicking around.

    Mine has 465 miles and I'm going to ditch most of the bike and use the frame for a custom build. Who wants a stock ZB? They are slow and small and are begging for 12" wheels.



    Chrome - Don't even think about purchasing parts from MBUK unless you have money to burn... OVERPRICED!

    wow, Chris - nice!!



    that's minty fresh. -looks like the perfect candidate for some racing parts, and yes - a manual tranny.



    semi-auto firearms are good; semi-auto trannys are not.



    later, j

    No, what I said is I don't have any parts to sell you. I don't sell any spare parts until the project is completely finished, which won't happen until next spring.
