Greetings from Finland!

I'm new at these forum things and I don't know how to do proper post and my English language isn't the best so don't mind if this post is little bit bad.... I thought that I would like to post my bike build here. So anyways it's 1989 year's Z50J with my own vision, maybe most of the people doesn't like it. So everything started 2021 summer when I build this bike first time. At that time it was what it was because i built it quickly so i can ride it at summer. Most of the parts were wrong color and the bike was not looking good, but it did it's job.

Bike had 50cc at first, but then I swapped engine to 72cc Lifan at fall of 2021

I had to rebuild the 50cc engine, because it looked like this....
I painted it and check everything from "downstairs". I painted the cylinder and hone the scratch. I had to buy new cylinder head, because the old one was so bad condition that it wouldn't work anymore.

After rebuilding the engine I started to build rest of the bike. After wards I changed the bar.

Story contiunes...

Now we get to February 2022. I have just started to dismantle the bike it was dirty and didn't look good at this time I had the 72cc already.
As you can see from the pictures the paint was at bad condition, it had been from the start, but now it's time for repaint and rebuild.

I bought new rear shocks and rear-end. The new rear-end was +5 cm longer than the original and the rear shocks were 300mm long.
Unfortunately I don't have picture from rear-end.
I painted gas tank, rim plates, the centre, rear-end, front-fork and bought new stickers. Also did maintenance for the front shocks
