Winter 2007 to May 2008 - back to the original look - or at least closer to it...
 

The Z50 is beíng rebuilt. Back to the original look - or at least: closer to it... Despite for its brutal sound and good performance the 1 into 2  KIJIMA carbon dual pipe exhaust  was exchanged for a Takegawa "Silencer-Boy" exhaust, retaining the standard heat-shield and standard appearance...  The original J1-Type Rear-Light and Number Plate Holder was fitted.
The Engine was modified to 12V and CDI-Ignition with new Stator and Rotor, an original Honda 12V-Wiríng Harness, Daytona CDI and Honda Nice-Switchgear.  Solid Oil Cooler attached.
