1987 Honda Z50R Full Build

Here is the full build up of my Honda Z50R, it actually started out as a replica bike, but has been fully rebuilt with reproduction parts in a sort of resto-mod fashion, based around a 1987 model. This has the added benefit of keeping the project at a reasonable budget, as well as not butchering an original example. There is much more customisation to come, so stay tuned. The current modifications are as follows:
16cm extended swingarm
Extended shocks
Custom exhaust
Longer CRF50 forks

That thing could get you from LA to Florida

[@JPcustommotorcycles]

Mate we'll have to find out if it will

[@fatbuddycat]

It must be the suspension geometry but is it as low as it looks at the engine? I just ordered the 3 inch rear too.

[@JPcustommotorcycles]

Yeah it is a bit lower than I thought it would be, it's still at stock height but I think the bike being longer gives that illusion. I'm not too bothered because I'll eventually go for bigger wheels/tyres.

Time to get it dirty! 🙂

The only Z50 clones or replicas I'm seeing are the older 70s style models, how does yours resemble the 80s style? Is it basically just a seat and gas tank change? Are the 70s style frames the same as the 80s style?

[@bodeine454]

Wow 😮
I have so many questions. I'm interested in building a Z50 for adult riders as well and I'd also like to build a Honda CT70 or ST90 but original parts are not necessary. So you said that you started with a replica? Is the frame a replica also? What about the gas tank? Because for the most part, other than the obvious differences like the ride height, swingarm and front forks it looks stunningly just like a Z50. I need to know what kind of replica to look for and start with because originals are outrageously high $$$.
Awesome video 👍

[@JPcustommotorcycles]

Thanks! Yeah this one was a Chinese clone based on the 1990’s model Z50R with the more square tank. I just bought a reproduction tank and fenders for a Z50J, made a custom seat, and went with the 1987 colour scheme
