1970 Honda Z50A K1 Fork Rebuild and Test Ride!

The forks went from servicing to replacing the internals. I also replaced a leaky shift seal. And finally take the Z50 out for a back alley test ride.

I just found a Honda Minnie trail Z50 in a storage shed that needs a ton of work but I’m going to bring her back to life

I have that exact same bike and have needed to rebuild the forks for quite some time. I am afraid parts won't be available, or I won't get it apart and back together correctly, but this video really gives me the confidence to tackle the job and get it done. Thanks for making this video.

Starting my z50 project, where do you order your parts from?

[@shawngriebel5828]

Nice work, what grease did you use for your rebuild?

[@DigitalRider]

Silkolene

Where I can buy honda monkey 70 parts?

[@DigitalRider]

Dealership has some stuff. eBay is an option. Do a google search, there a bunch of sites out there that sell parts. Mostly anymore are after market though. The OEM stuff is getting rare and pricey if you can find it. Otherwise, auctions and swap meets.

I had one for over 30 years, and then only two days after I moved into a new apartment, someone idiot stole it.
