Z50 Monkey bike
Naturally I needed to have a z50 after the 2 speed only fun of the qa days and rear shocks! This littlebike came with a totally wrong tank, one from a puch, but mostly complete running condition. I got the owner to throw in the early z looking tank shown on it in the pic above. I took the whole mess apart and cleaned, striped and repainted the frame, wheels, front end and tank. Filled in the side plate and did a little reprofiling on it.
The QA50 short term obsession
Like most I wanted a QA because it brought back fond memeries of fun times as a young kid! It kinda became a brief obsession.
This one came from Ebay. Classic bike in a box, lotsa new OE parts all ready to put together! Ebay is evel...
These little bikes are a great way to learn motorcycle engine rebuilding, lots of printed material and parts availibility!
