I had great luck with Rusty, 847.322.6708. He is a one man show but if her can work you into where he is going it's great.i found him via Uship this is his personal cell..

Do you still have those bunches of parts? If so, that bike should go together in no time. From what I can see of the Z50, it should clean up pretty nicely with a little silver paint and some elbow grease. Lotsa fun:specool:

It says it's billet aluminum. I wonder if they chromed it or just buffed it thoroughly. I'd like to see one up close as I recall spending more than $25 to have originals rechromed...

If you can find someone willing to rechrome the diecast originals for anywhere near $30 each, and do it right, you've found yourself a screaming deal. Diecast (a.k.a. pot metal) requires a base strike of cyanide copper and that ain't cheap, circa 2017.

Billet aluminum replacements should be good and a lot easier to maintain than OEM. Stainless steel would be even better...true chrome-like shine and impervious to nearly everything.

That pump sprocket might make you shy away from buying the head :) How long does it take to smooth out a sprocket like that?

The cases do look nice, and a low number. But I think I can see a chunk broke out of the L case stator plate area..?

Yeah I want to say salt lake chrome did them for $25 each. I recall a k1 upper tree being the same price, and I found that baffling, but now I know why.... he mentioned he would need a lot of copper to fill the pits in the piece but they came out nice... and go figure, I got 4 done, installed two, then lost one.... what a kick in the #Â¥!?....
