Hi guys! I'm new here and thought that I would send a picture and a little specs about my little -91 Z50J Lowrider-project. It's a Finland model, it was originally just like the one on this page, but I bought it in a little rough condition. It had a shitty chinese 107cc replica engine, loose screws, broken kick-start axel, missing wires, bolts and stuff. In Finland-models the frontend is lightened from the original model, because of the laws of Finland/EU. And because of that it's very fragile and the suspension of it bends easily. Also Finland-models have different colors. But enough with the b-shit about Finland's own Monkeys and how this one used to look like.

A little bit information about my project:

6cm longer swingarm compared to the original. It's 3cm wider on each side too
Kinda low frontend
3,5'' front rim (90/65-8'' tyre)
6'' rear rim (130/50-8'' tyre)
125cc YX engine
24mm Mikuni carburettor
Open sprocket mg-cover (polished myself)
Selfmade seat, needs modifying
Original handlebars
Quick-shift throttle (Don't know the exact name in English)
No frontbrake
And other very complicated stuff

There's coming a mat-black and red paint on it. Red frame, swingarm and hubs. Mat-black tank, frontend, handlebars, sidepanel and stuff. A littlebit of a bling, like you can see, more to come ofcourse. But I had a idea that I'll rip those Honda-stickers off of that tank and give it a brutal touch and add a rough sidepanel to it so it would have two looks, a mild-bobber styled and a rat-look.

Here's a pic of the condition at the start of the project:

As you can see, it was ugly as hell and you couldn't ride it without puking.

And here it is nowadays:

And one from behind:

There it is on it's own ugliness. I'd be pleased if you would comment about my project and give some advises what should I do to it.

E: Don't mind the hanging lightwiring, handles that have different colour, etc. They aren't in the final mod of this build. Do you want to see pics in the future too ?

I will be curious to see how you are going to solve the sprocket offset.

 

[epsus]

If you handle welding, you'll have no problem.

Easy. Any suggestions to my project ? You want to see how it continues etc ? Leave PM or a message here, I'll read them all.

epsus> I look at the photos and I think you have oblique shock. This could lead to their destruction.

My Z50 Monkey bike build

Just joined this site tonight. Have been building CT70 resto mods and Z50's for a while now. This is a picture of a bike I built for a friend a few months back.

Almost complete

I've got a black seat cover on the way. I'm still trying to figure out which control(throttle assembly) set-up I'm gonna' go with. I'll re-post better pics as soon as I'm finished.

Here is my 1999 Z50R Canadian version. I picked this up in Northern Minnesota. This bike is perfect and basically brand new. As far as I can tell the only real differences between this and the US version are the front and rear reflector mounts on both the front fork and the rear tail hoop. Also, all of the text is in French.
