    Nice, man. Looks clean! So what did you wind up using for a fuse box?

    82 cb750c dohc in progress

    Right on, I thought the tank looked a little long, looks great on your bike though. I've thought about trying a 750F tank on mine but have decided to try to make the original tank work for now. Keep it up man, looking forward to seeing your bike progress, I might steal some ideas from you...

    82 cb750c dohc in progress

    I like what you've done so far. As the owner of a 750C, I can appreciate how hard it is to make these things look cool lol. The F tank looks good on there, did it mount up without modification? Interested to see what your solution is for relocating the fusebox, I'm looking to tackle that...

    The Spring "State of your Motorcycles Address"

    Here's my runner. Been trying all winter to beat the ugly out of my 750C, she's finally starting to look presentable. Having fun with spray paint, trying to figure out my color scheme before disassembly and proper paint/powder later this year.

    Duplicover Metal Specks sparkle silver

    I used the silver metal specks paint with a red Metalcast topcoat, followed by good quality automotive clearcoat on the frame and various bits on my Z50 restomod. The forks have the the silver metalspecks paint w/clear. The clearcoat makes the metal flake look a mile deep. Great paint for...

    750C reshaped stock seat

    Thanks! Yeah its good for two-up riding. My goal was to scale it down as much as possible while still keeping it comfortable for two people. Tried mixing form with function as much as possible but let's be honest, I didn't have much to work with lol. It's nothing innovative or even very...

    750C reshaped stock seat

    Just got my seat back from the upholstery guy recently, figured I'd throw up a quick pic of how it looks on the bike. I resculpted the stock seat with an electric turkey knife, had the upholstery done by so called "professionals", but that's another story... This bike's my daily driver...

    What was your first ride?

    The doctors are yet to diagnose exactly whats wrong with me LOL. I loved her dearly, but the joy of riding it wore off long ago. After owning other bikes with superior power and handling, I just found it really boring to ride after awhile. It hibernated in my garage for four years before I...

    Who wants a mustache ride?

    Is that on the side of Winston's? I lived in OB for a couple years back in the mid nineties....had a place on the corner of Muir and Sunset Cliffs, right across the street from Dog Beach. Had a LOT of fun while I lived there...I miss OB like hell every time I think of the place. :'(

    Bought my daughter a Z50 for Xmas

    Got a link for you, pm'd it to you also but figured I'd post it here for the benefit of anyone else who might be interested. This guy is about the only source for quality Japanese made aftermarket parts for the hardtail Z's. Not sure if anything out there will work with your sidecar mounted...

    Bought my daughter a Z50 for Xmas

    Jeepers, I must have been pretty wiped last night, didn't realize your Z is a hardtail clone, not a K model. That restricts your options for aftermarket parts considerably, but I'm sure there's some exhaust options out there for you. I'll do some research after work and let you know what I...

    Bought my daughter a Z50 for Xmas

    Looks pretty sweet! That sidecar is the bees knees. 8) It's a shame they are producing them with those horrible handlebar setups though. They feel akward and steer like crap no matter how you have them positioned. Check this link if you're interested in a new upper triple plate with proper...

    Bought my daughter a Z50 for Xmas

    I don't think its a bad deal. New CRF 50's go for 11-1300, restored z's average in the 1500 range. With the sidecar added its a pretty decent buy. Not to mention nearly all oem and aftermarket z parts will fit them, meaning the potential for mods is virtually limitless. The fact that it...

    Bought my daughter a Z50 for Xmas

    Cool, thanks for the info. Like Tim, I too could not find the z clone on the site, only the 110 monkeybike. Do you happen to have a link to the bike itself?

    Bought my daughter a Z50 for Xmas

    Web address is in the watermark on the photo above. www.extrememotorsales.com Interesting site. I'd love to pick up a sidecar for my Z if they sell them seperate, could take my dog for rides :) RedWillis, I briefly scanned the site but couldn't determine if these are street legal or not...

    Bought my daughter a Z50 for Xmas

    That thing is awesome! Looks to be very well built. I've got a soft spot for the Honda minis, restored a 76 Z that looks similar to yours. 88 motors are perfect for them. Honda motor or Chinese? Is that a one-off or is someone selling them?
