Honda Other description

1980 model year Z50r, original engine was freshened up with new std. piston and rings, valves cleaned and lapped with new oil seal on ex.valve guide, all new gaskets and oil seals, new points, new after market carb and air cleaner. New sprockets and chain.
New OEM wheel bearings, seals, brake pads, and springs. New IRC Tractor Grip tires which I believe were OEM for this model year. New OEM cables, grips and throttle tube. The exhaust pipe is original that was cleaned up and painted with high heat paint. (no holes or cracks in pipe). Original bars, kill switch and fuel tank.New factory chain gaurds. Aftermarket seat and number plates.
Basically everything was gone thru on this bike, anything that needed was repaired or replaced. The bike showed that it had been cared for and saw gentle use, no bends, cracks or welds on frame, bars were straight and tank only had a few miner dents and dings.
It was not my goal to restore this bike, but rather to preserve it as a safe rider, the Tahitian red paint is 'Color Rite' brand single stage, the silver is Honda cloud silver. The black and heat paint is what ever I had at the time.
This bike was traded into a local dealer many years ago and sat for a long time in one of their out buildings. The inside of the tank had rust. I bought a kit and cleaned it myself and put a light coat of cream inside. It did not turn out as nice as I hoped , but does not leak. These original tanks with out major damage are very scarce and well worth being professionaly restored. This may or may not be an issue with this tank in the future.
The engine runs great,no smoke or noises, starts right up, idles like it should and shifts thru all 3 gears.
The bike makes a great rider or with a few more OEM parts it could be a 100pt restoration.
THERE IS NO TITLE, Bike is not street legal.

A real Monster of a bike

Wed, 13 Jun 2012

The bike above was once a Ducati Monster S4. It was restyled by Italian custom builder Ferruccio Codutti who took a year crafting the look out for aluminium for one of his customers. Ignoring the grotesque nose, Codutti's work is impressive as the front end was made by the man himself.
