Re: z50 question....
not as mant chassis upgrades but im sure you can find something. theyve got 8 inch wheels so tire selection sucks. but the motor is classic honda and you can get big bores and whatnot for it.
id buy it

Re: z50 question....
Will the xr/crf wheels bolt on or what? It needs a back tire pretty bad anyway. Im parts managaer at a honda/yamaha/suzuki/kawasaki/ktm/polaris dealer......maybe ill just look through the aftermarket and see what they offer

Re: z50 question....
Yea i was lookin through the Tucker Rocky book, and they have a whole section on nothing but pit bike accessories. Will the handle bar clamps for the crf/xr the same for the z50 to put mx bars on it?
