1999 Honda Z50R Restoration | Abandoned for 10+ Years, Cleaned, Painted, & Big Bored!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- I bought this 1999 Honda Z50R from Ike after he bought 8 abandoned Z50s that had been sitting in the woods for over a decade. This Honda mini bike was in rough shape- no gas cap, so water was sitting in the fuel tank, no spark plug, so the piston was completely rusted in the cylinder and the valves were stuck. Overall the paint wasn't in terrible shape, so we gave the old Honda Z50 a good wash and gave it some white touch up paint. It cleaned up really well!
Thanks for Watching!

These last year Z50Rs are AWESOME! Can't wait to take it for a ride.
Yeah and maybe a top speed run
Yes I've waited all day boys
Nice
Didn't we watch his video like 2 days ago?
Hit me up for a running 1993 750 suzuki katana engine for the crosskart guys
Did I imagine watching this the other day? 🤷♂️
Me too
yah wtf
Right?
Must have re uploaded it!? I definitely watched this already 🤣
haha me too lol
Issac: "Did you ever check the Oil?"
John: "Can't be sure..."

I restored my 99 z50 last year. I've had the bike since new. I went oem with everything so it ended up costing me $500 more than it did new......lol. Sandblasted and resprayed it with shasta white two pack and new oem decals....... rode it 15m and the front sprocket threw the chain and shredded the stator case...... You guys are inspiring me to finally finish it
Did you do it?
Dude, those pins look awesome! We need a rat rod wagon, a dragster, a yerf dog, and a cross kart pin. Those would be sweet!
I had about a dozen CT70 wheel halves powder-coated the closest to factory Honda silver I could find and they all turned out awesome. No more worrying about them rusting out ever again. I'm all about keeping the stock look, but there's a point when it's not worth the time and effort. Especially when you're painting a bike with a q-tip.
had the same thing happen when applied "chrome spray paint" and clear on top. It bubbled up like that. Incompatible paints basically.
Really nice mini bike though, good job on it.
You guys should do a "for testing purposes only" pin that would be sweet.
I'd love to "Sport" that pin on my Carhartt Jacket!
to solve your rear plastic problem, you can buy an 83 left number plate mount and white number plate, matched up with a 76 metal rear fender. golden! I might be willing to part with my spare mount as well.
I love this channel so fricking much
Please get back to this project quickly. I REALLY like this one. Can't wait to see the results.
The paint reaction is because you probably waited too long to clear coat it. Most cans will say "recoat within 2 hours or after 3 days" or something along those lines. The base coat dries, but the solvents are still evaporating. When you clear it within the first time frame, the paints kinda mix together and flash off together. If you wait too long, the base coat is still flashing and the solvents react with the clear coat and bubble up. You have to wait the few days for it to be completely done flashing off, or sand it down and start over.
Looks like you could use the control from tall wide BMX handlebars they work really good I have some old GT handlebars on a vintage mini bike
Have you guys tried the molasses rust removal trick, mix blackstrap molasses 5 to 1 with water in a big drum. (I use 44 gallon plastic drums with the top cut off) and soak the complete part in it.
I do everything from springs from trailers, car crossmembers, mini bike frames and anything too complicated to wire brush or grind.
Just throw it all in and leave for a week or even months. Only takes of the rust but don’t put any alloy in it.
The rust turns to a black goo and washes off to clean metal.
The mix lasts for years, just have to top it off with fresh molasses every 6 months.
Can put a complete engine block in it but would then require a all new cam bearings and any alloy part replaced.
Currently have a XR70 frame and swingarm in it.
What happens if you have a half rusted 50 frame and still has paint on it
Will it strip the whole thing?? Paint aswell?
Saves me time with my grinder thats for sure
Man seeing that truck in the background change over the years is crazy.
Awesome sauce. Good job guys
Aw man your almost at 1 mil subs I’ve been here since 100k
🤟
I prefer the vids that feature a bit o mechanickin along with the crazy test drives and witty banter.
2020 is the year of the Z50!!!!
Hey! It would be cool if you guys could to a tear down and full rebuild of a project. But do the home work on getting everything for the build so that you wont have to be waiting on getting the parts as you go. That would be cool see a full tear down and rebuild in the same video along with you guys ripping around on the property after it's done. That would be cool to see. 😀👍
Thanks for the full teardown and rebuild video. Love Isaac's monster truck fuel tank contraption.
I got to ride my cousins QA50 as a child in the 70's, the feeling was so aw inspiring I will never forget and to this day every time I see a honda 50 the QA comes to mind
Build a wash station for old karts being rebuilt as well as when one gets dirt you can drive onto a platform or slab and power wash them
I've owned 2 z50's so far in this lifetime~ they are almost indestructible...
I would love another one man👍
Ike is so cool.. he never seems to get excited/upset about nothing.. john is our cool too.. in your own way.. don't worry, "it'll be fine"
I imagine if you owned one motorbike, having it not run would be a massive bummer. If you've got two barns full of projects, you can be philosophical because "it didn't work this time"
Just rotate the muffler 180 degrees. I have this pipe on an 88 z50r and if you point it towards the center there is no risk of melting plastic. Also doesn't hurt putting some of that reflective tape in the inside of the plastic
So I haveca kz 750 LTD with a screen door for a gas tank. I took it diwn to bare metal and used a blunt punch to ding every pin hole, so it forms more of a plug than a patch when I jb welded it. I then coarse wire brushed the dings so the jb weld would stick even better. Cleaned the crap out of it with acetone. Filled all the pinholes with jb weld and put a piece of packing tape over the jb weld to keep it I place. Don't push the tape in, just seal it around it to leave some jb weld higher than the ding. Let it set up and sand it like it's Bondo. Block it then palm sand. My tank was already "KREEMED" so I couldn't use sealer again. But sealee after the jb should be a nice long term fix. Look up tank electrolysis to get rust out too.
My knees and back hurt so bad watching you guys work on the floor. Lol.
What a great video for my birthday! Thanks guys!
Happy birthday
Isaac it'll be fine thanks!
Cool that’s the first dirtbike I ever rode
Monster truck pin would be cool. Since I found this channel theres not one episode that I haven't enjoyed. Cheers
Guys thanks so much for all this awesome content you have inspired me to start working really hard on my channel and it’s really paying off
Nice, i was wearing my red "It'll Be Fine" T Shirt today as well
🤘😁👍🇺🇸
if you go to West Virginia to ride the mountains you gotta check out Hatfield McCoy trials there one of the best trails
I really love the topgear style,,, challenge,,road trip videos definitely looking forward for that 😀 👍 👌
You should do a Ducarti Pin. That truck in the background is looking really good. keep up the good content.
Also rip that gas tank. Mine is mint from being garage kept for 30 years except it was on its side for all of that and the plastic is broken. I also didn't have spark and it was the kill switch, runs great only has 5k miles on it.
I’m a straight up stoner and we love pins so really excited about these
Dragster pin, 670 pin, Rat-Rod Wagon pin, Pugly pin and Cross Cart pin. All of these would be epic.
If you're making pins then you better make a ratrod wagon and the first race kart John had on this channel. Strictly for nostalgia purposes only
I used to ride a 1983 z50r as a kid... i'm actually tempted to buy one just just like the one i used to ride for that good ol nastalgia factor...
You must have shown the motor upgrades while I was wizzing. That silver pick up is looking sweet
If these pins go ham, defo get a pin for the 50$ Kart, that brought me to your channel back in the day
Why are we going backwards? I just watched you rebuild and start this yesterday! Am I missing something? Upload out of order? WTF? edit: 2 days ago.
have you guys ever considered welding a holey tank? I had an 80's Mustang with a leaky tank (bunch of pin holes under the hanger straps). Washed it out, welded it (MIG). real low heat, moderate wire speed so you don't blast through it. Give it a try sometime.
dwarf365 they have 2 bikes I think
We tried to shoot the build in two episodes, one showing the engine build, one showing the restoration.
@@CarsandCameras Thanks for the reply. I get it now.
@@CarsandCameras you are making us watch bs. Buddy
Cars and cameras?
Well don't mind if I do. What kind if shenanigans are these boys getting into today 😁😁😁
We had ceramic chunks that we would drop in the tank then set on a osculating vibrator they would look almost new besides the holes left behind. Then we lightly patched the outside with body clay and filled with the epoxy below. Turns out super nice.
Fuel rubber tanks good 👍
A good-looking truck behind you
The truck is lookin reel fine!!!!
That’s a fancy paint brush. lol
You gotta upgrade Ike’s too man
Man, I used to have a little Z50 when I was young. I rode it every day after school. It was an all-chrome Christmas Edition.
Great video guys, great looking little bike.
WE NEED RIDE VIDEOSSSSS
I wish every video was 20-30 minutes long at least. Would love to see more of the actual work itself. You guys are awesome!! Been a sub since the beginning!
Cars and cameras, the only place where 2 guys make a rock tumbler out of a gas tank and a go kart
I love my 1998 z50 it is a great and reliable bike i have dailyit for 1 year and haven't had a single problem whit it
Do some custom trimming on the plastic around the exhaust tip, it would look sick!
Love the vintage honda content guys I cant get enough of this stuff!!
Yes new vid u guys are awesome
Good job mate bringing the old school back to life
Love these little 50s. Had a 78 growing up
That big bore kit is going to make that mini a monster mini
Channel name should be called MenditandSendit. Figure it would match your apparel. Cars and Cameras, but neither is within the videos. Love your channel, God bless
Man, that truck makes a nice backdrop
Ratrod wagon pin would be mint. It's an inspiration!
That's awesome! Great build guys 🤙🏼
RAD!!! I can't wait to get one and restore. Riding one will be so rad! Great videos CAC!
Just curious John , when will we hear about your shortbox Chev we see in the background always !
Check Instagram, he just drove it for the first time a few days ago.
Ugggh. Noo, i thought this was the next part where you fix the shifting problem. 🙃
I'd like to see you guys faces on a pen. That bike is the coolest one yet great job on the restore.
I realy love the 50r 🥰🥰🥵🥴🤤
the 88 mph kart and the rat rod wagon are one for me
The bike is starting to look sharp! Good work guys!
Getting sooo close. Can't wait to see it finished! great job guys
Didnt y'all already put a video out of u rebuilding the motor and having it running?
Right? Are they going backwards?
they got it together but wouldnt shift into gears im assuming this is just other stuff not specifically the big bore kit so some stuff is before they actually did it
@@stylze5767 yea I seen that
I'm a huge fan this video is amazing so far
You guys should make key chains with some of your best builds
Im so jealous..I love these little bikes..had one when I was a kid and rode the living crap out of it.. really wish my dad wouldn't have sold it to get me a bigger bike when i got a little big for it..wish we would have kept it for my kids and nephews..hard to find one in decent shape for a decent price these days.. everyone wants a ton for them.. running or not..but one day I'll find the right deal and have one again..great video guys..keep up the good work.
I love that little thing I 6ft but I’m gonna look for one my self 😂
Am I the only one reminded of needing to water the garden after that first clip? 😜
I know Ike is an old-school guy he's probably heard of red coat for gas tank leaks this stuff works really fast and it will seal holes up as well I used it on my bike tank. Oh yeah and you can get it at O'Reilly's. I heard it works a lot better than some of the two-part sealers I know in my tank it won't peel off it will not peel out and it far as the gas goes is perfect. Maybe I will send you guys a quart of it which is good for about 10 of those tanks but who knows.
You guys should make a ct70 pin
Amazing little bike
You have made me want one. The wife hates you guys BTW. Keep up the good work!
What you guys have pins now get out of town thats awesome guys keep up the great work
We should encourage Ike to grow the ponytail back
Nice haircut mid video 😂🤣📸. Thought I accidentally skipped to the next one.
That silver pick-em-up truck is starting to look pretty snazzy.....
Best mini bike ever Honda z 50 r
Another wicked video keep it up u guys !!!!!
Gald to see complete build video like whole restro I love it
You guys should sell all those old 50cc parts on ebay if in good nick or can be cleaned up . Alot of people do be looking for parts for cub 50s and 90s .
Would like to have seen the engine rebuild
nice work on this one
The rat cart pin would definitely be on my hat if yall made it
Do a pin of your truck that thing looks super nice I wish you had more content on that when you were having content of the truck it was awesome
Great work Sir thank you
I have a z50r 97 they Never die 🔥🔥🔥
I thought I watched this the other day. Oh well, time to watch it regardless!
You guys should restore a full size dirtbike next like a cr250
