    I got it off of Ebay, sold by CHP. I don't know if they have anymore. Here is a shot from my Ebay " purchase again"tab/button/ When I tried it is said not available.

    1969 Z50 Muffler Baffles

    I am finished building a 69 for my boys when they are older ( And for me until they are)! Re-did a tricycle to give them something to ride till they are older. My muffle exterior is in good condition, just too dang loud. I might try to fish some glass inside to take the "edge" off of the tone.

    1969 Z50 Muffler Baffles

    I will keep the old for sure since it has the verbiage. What a shame the baffles are gone.

    1969 Z50 Muffler Baffles

    Interesting Gary. I wonder if the "pinch" in the diffuser tube serves as the baffle?

    1969 Z50 Muffler Baffles

    Does anybody have a picture ( I know it would be hard to get a photo of) of the internal baffles of a stock Honda muffler? My bike seems loud, so I am assuming somebody removed/destroyed them in the past. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Taillight Bracket/Fender Problem

    All the frame brackets you guys picture seem taller than mine. I know mine is an earlier 69 due to the serial number, maybe that is the difference. Anyways, here are the pics of it installed. I think I will run with it.

    Taillight Bracket/Fender Problem

    Kirby I don't think the frame mount has been molested. It looks too clean. The old pictures you posted show the bracket and light at an angle, closer to what I am experiencing. I am referencing other photos mainly from Paulson's ( Spelling?) book. Gary's fender sure is different. Is the fender...

    Taillight Bracket/Fender Problem

    Ooooh, that could be. I have an early K1. I didn't know the brackets were different on K1's, just from K1 to K2. The frame mount is slight bent up from trying to get the taillight bracket grommet to line up. Time to bend it back down!

    Hello everybody, I am having a problem with my taillight and rear fender alignment on my 69 K1. When installed the bracket seems angled "Up" in the rear. The bracket is from CHP, tried two of them with the same result, the fender is genuine Honda from NEVC. Fender lined up fine, nothing had to...

    More expert help needed - Z50 Tank mount

    Thanks for the offer to help Gary. If it was a flat mount, someone did an excellent job of removing the welds. It doesn't make sense because I can't see whoever would put allthread in there would do such a nice job grinding the area. I can fab a round pin in the lathe no problem, I just want to...

    More expert help needed - Z50 Tank mount

    Hello again! I have another question for you experts, or those with an accurate measurement!. My 69 Z50 K1 had a homebrew tank mount made with a piece of all thread and two nuts. I have since removed it and am left with two holes in the frame. First I was thinking my frame should have the flat...

    69 Z50 K1 Hub Finish

    Thanks for the help! I buffed the brake plates to a mirror shine, then shot them with PPG DC3000 clear. It changed the brilliance a bit which was weird, but oh well.

    69 Z50 K1 Hub Finish

    I need some help refinishing my front and rear hubs. Are the non brake ( Left) sides painted with cloud silver? Or are the hubs completely polished, and if so were the buffed to a chrome like finish? Thank you for any help, Polson's book didn't seem to cover the topic in much depth. Gary Hudak
