Do these old Z50's with the metal tanks have the same frame as the newer Z50's with the plastic tanks???? I am wondering if I can buy one of these and upgrade the look of it. They all have the same motor right? Can I put in bigger springs?

Thanks for the help,
Nathan

 

I'm pretty sure all Z50's have metal tanks.. mine is a 98 and has a metal tank

 

I mean one like this.

 

and I want to make it look like this....

 

GOOD LUCK!

 

Why do you wanna do that?? Old school is in!!!

Retro Z!

All of the Z50's have metal tanks but you can buy a plastic tank for it . The plastic tanks are big $$$$. I tried but I can't find the link now.


Get yours to look like mine.

How is that headlight wired up? I NEED ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a headlight and a taillight. I have the stator that runs the light off the motor just like a real motorcycle. The light is a 55 watt car foglight and extremely bright. The taillight is a $10 LED unit from Pep Boys. I also have a switch that turns it off ifyou need to run from the .


The whole setup with headlight, taillight, stator, voltage regulator cost me about $160 but I love riding at night, especially on the trails and it is a must. No batteries to charge either.

 

What do you want to upgrade it for? The old bike looks pretty mean in its own right.

I have both, no you can't put on the newer style, at least the seat. I haven't looked at the tank closely.

 

I do beleive the frames are teh same.. However teh rear subframe is not

 

i like them both

 

OR



AND THIS



and a switch like yours.

i was going to slap a driving light on there but I want it to look more stock or streamline.

i am also thinking about getting the fairing and headlight that the baja designs kit uses too.

 

Hey, everytime I see ur bike, I think that it is mine... Mine is EXACTLY the same, even blue background with black numbers... the most ironic part is i have 69 on mine... I will post a pic later tonite...
