Just picked up this frame with aftermarket front end. Having a heck of a time identifying it. I cannot find a vin or serial number, it looks like the frame has been powder coated so it may be covered. Was told it was a z50. Just trying to confirm before i start collecting parts. Thank you in advance.

Looks like an 88-99 Z50. The vin should be on the left side of the head tube.

looks like amazon/eBay pit bike forks

So it should be near these pin holes?

Yes, check pic.

Are you looking for an OEM front end or do you plan to keep what you have? I recently got a spare front end I could let go cheap if you're willing to do some work on it.

I had a quick look at my 1999 Z50R. The VIN is stamped into the steering head tube and the sticker is glued on. I don't see any holes in my frame for the VIN plate. Check pics.

THIS decal must be for the USA version and must be for the Canadian version. They are both glued to the frame.

Without the VIN on the head tube, betting this is not a Honda, but a clone. The tail section of the frame also does not look stock.

Good eye Davmo. Here is a pic of my Z50R back.

Well got it home and stripped the powder coat from that area of the frame neck and nothing. I saw something near the rear and removed the powder coat there and it says SKyTeam?

Right now I’m probably going to run this front end. But if that doesn’t work out I may contact you.

the stock front wheel wont work, also it is hard to find the right brakes and wheel for those ebay/amazon forks, there cheap

SkyTeam is a Z50 clone model, but all of the OEM Honda Z50R and aftermarket parts should bolt right on.

As stated above, the OEM Z50 wheel will not work on those forks, they are designed to use a spoked wheel with disc brakes. The stock wheel and brake panel are too wide and will not fit.

Figured this was the case. I was wanting to run some larger spoked wheels so this is a plus.

Thank you everyone for all the info. Truly appreciate it!

Keep us informed on how it goes!

I certainly will! I ordered a few things today so we will see how well they fit the clone version. I'm thinking i might put this up on my youtube channel at some point if anyone wants to follow the build that way.

so far a run of the mill 110cc motor fits fine. and a Z50r swing arm slides right in. Absolutely zero as far as serial numbers or VIN goes on the frame.
