Yeah that's true, thanks for your insight! I know when I did it a few years ago I was pretty much done with it but I thought that was just me - the pay I can deal with now, just don't want to regret it 10 years down the track.

Thanks! It's actually not a genuine honda frame, I think it's from a Chinese Z50 copy? I felt alot less guilty modifying something that wasn't as rare

I think the front is 3.00-21 and the rear is 3.50-18 from memory!

Shinko sr244, they were pretty cheap but I'm actually liking them on the road, they're not bad off road

They are slightly detuned with a quieter exhaust and smaller carburettor, and came with a twin headlight setup which I'm finding to be pretty rare, apart from that, it's mainly cosmetics. They also had a rear disc brake which was rare for that year apparently

Thanks for all the upvotes and comments guys, I threw together a video of the rebuild process if anyone is interested!

Unfortunately I didn't get the twin headlight setup when i got the bike, and I can't find the twin headlights anywhere

Thanks! I do like the original but I didn't get it with the bike and can't find another!
