Ha! I'd be game for a Z50 so when you have enough parts for a complete one left over.... let me know 
surffly said:I have wanted a Z50 to run around the pits and swap meets with for a while.
But never seemed to find a good one.
Well I fell into a whole garage full of them!
Four complete bikes, 8-10 motors, wheels, fenders, ect.
Some of the parts are NOS in the Honda wrappers.
Ill be completely honest, its more then I want/can deal with.
Will slowly be getting the parts together for one or two to keep and will be offing the rest.
So if you need parts for a Z50 reach out, ill see what I have.

Always good to upgrade shop items with no cash out.

I discovered Acewell makes a line of speedometers no one in the USA seems to sell, so I bit the bullet and ordered one from the UK. The idea is to mount it in the headlight of a narrowcase Ducati.
I'll put details in a build thread when I decide which bike it will go into. For now here's a pic of it in a (very dirty) headlight shell. About all it took was a bushing to make the 52mm speedo sit in a 60mm hole. I started cutting one out of aluminum but ended up having a buddy print one out on his 3D printer. Technology is your friend, even with vintage bikes!
Never mind the tach mount on the right, that will be removed since the Acewell has a tach too.

Ive been wondering if you could do that with the AceWell gauge!

Looks like you might need to come up with a little bigger bezel, but the old meets new really turned out to be a nice fit.

The chrome bezel is what it is, the adapter ring does need a tweak though (and I noticed the speedo shifted before I took that picture, it's not seated all the way there.) I built it up for one headlight shell, then discovered the headlight shell on the bike was differnt than the "same" one I used to mock it up on. oops...
No worries. Tweak a couple things in CAD and print out another one. Gotta love modern technology.

Get a trailer if you have room for it... loading is way nicer and they don't make a SuperScrew truck for sale in the US
