WOW, crap! Weber intake, aftermarket top end and what looks like a 20mm carb? 18 possibly...
HAHAHA - like finding a Weber grill on the curb, rolling wheels and the wooden handle still attached to the lid!
Yes, there're turds that can be polished :thumb:

Price was definitely right... I see heaps o' potential in that little bike, though ya might hafta swap out the gas in the tank, LOL. I'm back to "FORGED IN FIRE" on the History Channel, I dig that program. Makes me wonder how many knives and swords one could make out of a Z50, LOL. :13:

Thanks Guys,
My son just finished his 74 Z50 with 10 inch wheels build and my wife has been cruising the neighborhood with him. I'm gonna build this one for her. Have a TRX70 4 speed on the bench just waiting. These 50's on 10's are so much fun !

Sidewinder- or how many lilhondas you can make from the swords?


PS-
My son is documenting the build so he can post it here (joys of homeschooling, getting credit for motorcycles) but it is graduation week and he hasn't finished it.

Good point, LOL... I could probably fabricate frame sections or swingarms out of my shotgun & elephant rifle, LOL. I've considered 10" wheels for my FrankenBike, I could easily swap 'em with that aluminum swingarm and those extended fork legs I put on the bike. There's still a certain cachet involved with riding on 8" rims, especially in the dirt. My ThumpStar pit bike has larger wheels, but they didn't stop me from slamming my knee on the rocky Rim Road, LOL. I think the fat little knobbies on my FrankenBike actually handle some of the ruts and washboard sections BETTER than the knobbies on my pit bike, even though the pit bike knobbies are decent tires. The pit bike tires ARE a bit thinner than the knobbies on my FrankenBike, a factor which probably came into play during my last ride. :red70:

I'M OFF TO ENJOY THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND, WEATHER HERE IN SHOW LOW IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT... EVEN THE WEATHERCASTERS ARE CALLING IT "PERFECT CAMPING WEATHER." INDY RACE TOMORROW, WOOHOO!!! :4:
