1970 Honda Z50 K2 Restoration
1970 Honda Z50 K2 Restoration
Truth be told this was a first. I had never restored a hardtail Z50 that DID NOT receive a full paint job (Level 2). The original owner decided he wanted to keep the original paint even though it was a bit rough. Nothing wrong with preserving years worth of patina although I'll admit it's hard to do when you're the builder.
So literally this bike was completely restored minus the paint and the seat. New wheels, tires, cables, handlebars, exhaust and a completely rebuilt engine were all part of the restoration.
According to the owner, the bike will now be in service at the hands of his grandson. This was probably a great reason to not do the paintwork!
