Tail light looks like it is upside down. The clear part is supposed to face down to illuminate the license plate. Good rebuild. Classic!

As much as the engine build was awesome..

Jade trying to ride the bike was hilarious in a good way 😆

This was my first dirt bike I was four!! Now I'm 40!! Bringing back memories thanks!

It has such a cute little piston, I could use it as a keychain for my Himalayan! Classic little bike, a true vintage machine

Love rebuilding the old monkey bikes, always a ton of family history attached to them. Done several, lot of fun to fix. Did one in January for an old farmer down the road, finished it up, he and his grandson came to pick it up. When it fired up, he was very emotional. Grandson rode it home. See him about every weekend out riding it at his place. Warms the heart...

I'm learning motorcycles' workings, so such videos are very helpful for me. Many things I see here are totally new for me.

The first dirt bike I ever rode was a 1977 z50! My friend, Blair, who only came around every other weekend to visit his dad, had one, and we'd ride it up and down the driveway for hours. It sparked a love affair with bikes that still persists to this day over 40 years later. 🥰

Cool bike the Z50, I think you put the rear light on upside down and the headlight needs the lens lining up too apart from that a great job putting it back on the 'road', keep up the great work 👍😎

that's a really nice bike and looks excellent shape for the year.

Don’t be embarrassed Jade! Riding is a learning process, especially those little bitty mini bikes. Awesome stuff

I had one of those. My Honda Z50A was blue with the chrome fenders. Gave it to my sister when I got a Yamaha DT360. Was stolen twice. Got it back the first time, but no luck the second. Was a fun bike. I had friends that had Trail Hoppers, YZ80's and XR75s and we used to ride around the neighborhood at night, trying not to be seen by the police. I have a lot of fond memories of those days. Honda sold them with 2 different carb. slides and also a restrictor plate in the exhaust system. The plate was removed and the better slide installed for better performance. Whoop!

Good to see I'm not the only one who gets my silicone form the side of the tube. Lol

I have a 72 in need of a rebuild, wish I had a friend like you haha. This was really interesting to watch and gives me an idea of the work involved in breaking down and rebuilding one of these.

Jade is a good sport. You should be appreciative of her support and patience.

I learned to ride on one of these when I was 4 or 5. My grandfather kept it well into my late teens and I road it on occasion just for kicks.
Defiantly brings back great memories!! R.I.P grandpa

I just started my 78 z50 today. It's been in the garage for 23 years. I added an electronic ignition and new carb.
*IT LIVES !*
The tires are cracked but the headlight works.

[russellgilson]

I got a Z50 the first year Honda brought this bike to market I believe 1968. Rode the tires literally right off the rims, fine piece of engineering that even a teenager couldn't wear out!

[peteraitken]

Cool little bike joe don’t think jade was impressed mate lol little George is defo a mummies boy vinny is just mental hahaha take care mate 🔧🔧🔧👍👌

[kellyballard]

I started riding on a 1968 or 69 hardtail z50 that was burgundy and silver. I honestly was no more than 3 yo. Believe it or not but it's true. I'm now 54. I would love to have it back. Unlike some people, I'm not going to pick your work. You do a good job and I hope that you are making a living working on motorcycles. Great job and keep finding the old ones.

Jade is a good sport. "You know I don't have the balance for this". Filmed her walk up the drive. If that was my wife, much editing would be needed. Thanks for joining Jade. And engine rebuild was informative as usual.
