Nice ZB50 d0n! There is a big difference in value between hot rods and stock bikes to collectors. A simple paint job on my ZB's with the correct decals added and a few parts replaced = original restored bike. Higher value. Collectors want original. Not modified. Buy all the $1500 ZB'S you want. Try to restore one now. Parts are gone. I know of people who have paid $500 for a nos ZB50 gas tank. That bike on Ebay, you would go broke trying to restore that basket case. Buy that to hot rod. Too many parts missing or ruined. Do you have the original motor for yours? Turn signals? Exhaust and cover? If so hold on to them. Your will be worth a lot more in the future than as it sits now. You built a hot rod for you. Ride, enjoy it! Also make an bracket, tap the swingarm, bolt it to that last bolt hole on the Monkey rear hugger so it not flopping around.
