One more old Honda saved from the brink!

After watching James May assemble a mint one of these, it’s so nice to see these old things being revived and you can appreciate their wonderful simplicity.

Hey I notice that y’all use bbs often for fuel tanks cleaning. Might I recommend using broken glass from a car door. Easily obtainable from a junk yard. The glass breaks up into small squares and gives an edge to scrape the inside of the tank where bbs are smooth and I find glass does better.

The Orange z50 is a 1974, there is no such thing as a silver tag on them. Most of them were orange in 1974 although there was a couple other options. The Yellow Z50s are all 1976 as it was a one year only color. Hope this helps! Good luck with the projects!

That tank would make a cool lamp😂

We had an old mini trail in the early 70's with a solid rear. The whole neighborhood beat the living crap out of that thing but it never stopped on us. Sure wish i still had that thing

Brilliant use of an old brake lathe!! I've turned some strange stuff including a flywheel, but never a rock tumbler gas tank cleaner. Genius!!

You two need to invest in some Red Kote tank liner. Super tough, ethanol protection, usually takes a day to dry. It can be applied over rust if you need it going in a hurry. Edit: looks like you're way ahead of me

Thanks for showing on all these z50 and ct 70 bikes without your vids i would not of been able to get my ct70 running like a top again, after 15 years of sitting in a shed. You Guys Rock............

Absolutely loving the vintage honda content!

I have mentioned it before we used a pour in sealer for tanks that worked great! all you had to do is tape the holes with duct tape and pour it in and slosh a first thin coat wait about 30 minutes and add another cup and keep it rotating until dry. It never failed

Just finshed watching this video, i could watch u guys all day! Just 2 freinds doing their thing! Love it👍

I enjoy you guys restoring antique vehicles

Ripper burn out man keep them 🔥

Those gas tank would make good flower pots. 🌼

Fantastic,yeah another classic saved.....thats what its all about👍 love your vids by the way👍👍

They had silvertag z50s. They had a 2 tone paint job. Silver and either blue, red, or yellow.

I got a trail 50 in 1968 for Christmas and it started a life long love of two wheeled motorized vehicles! I have a Harley Electra Glide now and I still get that thrill when I ride on a cold day!!

Pretty cool to have them little things actually street legal. Rarity for Cars n Cameras. Awesome end of the year burnout. Lookin' forward to more fun in 2021.

This would be a sweet bike to add toy collection. Hope you hommies have a great day and ride safe.

You guys are awesome!

i watch every mini bike rebuild 2 or 3 times a year just love seeing my times history come back alive and johns editing is so subtle you don't realize the time he puts in and add the banter and you have a channel that needs to be picked up by a network

Epic burnout. Cool seeing tanks I would have thought too far gone actually made usable again, without too much hassle.

Can't wait to see these bikes on the road!

Another one saved! Way to go guys. 👍

My cousin had an orange z50.. dont know much about it though.. My step brother had a trail 70 and I had an xr80.. These bikes bring back some fun memories, lol

I’m loving the beards! Great content as always. Very inspiring. Thanks guys!

I’m in class right now but can’t miss a video 💯

When I worked as a tech at a BMW Triumph dealer, all we used was the POR-15. It's great stuff.

fun fact. at 8 minutes and 14 seconds in the video Isaac is rattling out the contents of the second tank with a desperate look of frustration trying to get the last bb. i had the captions on, it registered your frustration as [Music]! goes to show that there is beauty in all that we do. love you guys, you both inspire me to continue maintaining my stand up gas scooter. recently put a honda gx 50 on it, goes about as fast as the manco.. with John on it.

Love the z50s

Bought a brand new ( ordered from the HONDA DEALER ) in 1970 when I was 12 years old with my paper route money a HONDA 50 MINI TRAIL for $242 dollars tax included. It was the most reliable well built little mini bike ever, back then in Minnesota where I lived you could ride them pretty much anywhere and the POLICE didn’t do to much about it, wish I wouldn’t kept it.

Nice love the vids

10:25 looks and sounds like Ike is just taking a piss hahahaahah

Anything other then a hammer that is used as a hammer is called a persuader.

i dig the roku tv in the back

One hundred percent need more mini bike builds

The por 15 tank sealer is good👌sweet burn out

Great job guys

I have always liked the Honda Z50s. Great video about what it takes it get one moving again.

This vid convinced me to go ride mine so see ya in a bit

The decal looks like the one my neighbor had when I was a kid, it was brown not orange and it was a 1975 to 77, I actually had a 1977 xr75. I always thought all Z-50’s had rear suspension, the older QA-50’s didn’t have rear suspension. I grew up with these bikes, the Honda ST-90 the CT-70’s. A friend had a 1975 XR-75 they were still grey and had a 4 speed transmission. Brings back some good memories.

Love you guys you have the best KZfaq channel content

That was a good ol’ Smokey burnout!!

A couple of guys in my neighborhood had Honda Z-50's in the early 70s. I can distinctly remember how quiet those little things purred. You could barely hear the engine on those bad little boys.

Love the burn out. Several years back, I was looking at a Trail 70 and Lifan (out of China) made tons of replacement parts for 50s, 70s and 90s; even complete engines. You could also buy a complete Trail 70 bike, with a bigger engine and electric start, for under $1K. You probably already know all that, but thought I’d pass it in to your viewers, if they are working on a similar project.

Awesome guys

We always used a few pieces of some jack chain in a tank and it also works great!

Hell yes, nice find guys.

Right on guys saved another 👍 nice burnout🖖.

My man my man my man

Shag seat lookin sharp guys!

Cool Burnout to End 2020👌😁

currently building a racing lawnmower. love the vids

Nice use of the adjustable hammer!

Always enjoy

My grandfather owned one of these back in the 80s, I've been looking to buy one restored but this is the only place I've ever seen them since then

kool , sweet 'lil bikes RJ

Loved it all but the black and white burnout

In my state ( Washington ) any dirtbike's,atvs,street bikes, go carts boats, etc.. is only in the system for 7 years, without yearly title and tabs after that,you apply for lost title, the state patrol inspect it, issue 3 year temp plate and tags,then new title is sent to you after that. All cost is about $400 when said and done

LOL! Im diggin the brake lathe @ 5:16...great idea!

Cant Believe that they are almost at 1 Mil keep up the good work guys.

In 1972 honda did a way with the hard tail rear frame and added the rear(soft tail) suspension du to cracking in the rear frame

Love the burnout!!! 😂

So im 69 and 70 for the z50 they did indeed have silver tag bikes. Their paint job is the main give away for them. Theh ranged from orange red blue and yellow. And the gas tank would have the top part painted silver or white. And the rest of the bike would be colored one of those 4 colors. So it's very possible you do have a silver Tag z50. And more than likely someone repainted the tank.

I have used that Por 15 tank sealer on my gas tank. No issues.

The answer is always YES

Save as many honda minitrails for future generations..good work guys

Lol I like how Isac "describes" the rust with sound

Cool stuff

What crazy projects. I haven’t seen you guys do anything crazy YET 😂

I loved the Coleman Ct200u vid I got mine to do 42 love the vids and bought a blazing trails hoodie keep up the good work

That yellow tank is a Sunday Special cause it's so holey/ holie... That color wasn't so much orange as it was more of a metallic copper orange color.. My dad bought me one in early 70s... Beautiful color and most sought after original survivor paint coloring of all of the oem colors except the lemon yellow ones which is just as sought after and valued...

I enjoy this and I wish I had one to restore

Shaking the old gas tanks was like trying to get the last penny out of your piggy bank lol

Hey! Whens gonna be the next bosco beach episode i love these type of videos! Btw great content 😁

Nice smokey burn out to end the year off nice guys!!!

I love your vids so much and how’s your day goin

Love you guys and love your videos keep up the good work. Your Sub David watching from Norco California 👍🏼 stay safe😷

I like to get one of them one day.👍

I think that silver tank might work good as a lamp! Set up an LED light source inside, let the light shine out through the holes.

with the growth both of you guys have shown you should be making gas tanks . it would make an interesting video

3:20 Ah the elusive wrench/hammer/body alignment tool/American nut rounder 🤣

Hell yeaah Brrrottheerr!!

YesSiRr!! Mate...you blokes are heKktiK!! LoL!! Good stuff!! Love de videos boys! Thankz for sharing some Of ur knowledge!! Haha!!

dang that thing really lit the tire up

4:12....Tank full of Nutmeg!!

Gopowersports.com your advertising is working. Someone just asked me where to get parts for a gocart, and if not for the Ducarti and my newfound interest in this channel I'd have never been able to tell them where to go. So keep it up!

Hey guys!! Great channel and I’ve learned a lot about predator engines... which is why I’m reaching out to y’all. So I have a db30 minibike that I just put a predator 212 on it, rode for a week stock and did just fine, gotta knock off mikuni from go power sports last week, I put it on yday and it would crank but stall out due to the governor not being connected “I think”, so I decided I would take the motor apart and actually remove the gov and oil sensor. So I opened it up took out the parts and all went well EXCEPT the smaller gear on the right fell out with the front push rod, I put the rod back in and lined the dots up on the gears and put everything back in place. Resealed the motor, put oil in it and reconnected the gas. Well now it won’t crank to save my life!! I’m getting spark and getting fuel to carb but for some reason it still won’t crank, I’ve adjusted the fuel screw in and out on bottom of mikuni carb and it makes no difference :/ I was mainly wondering what the issue might could be and if something messed up wen the gear and rod fell out, cuz I just put it back in place. Was I supposed to make sure the rod went in a certain way maybe?? Idk wats going on or wat I need to adjust to make it run again and was hoping U guys might have some info about what it might be. I’ve asked everyone I know but no one has any knowledge on small engines and I’m learning as I go lol please please get back to me if u don’t mind via email - bmcdonough7889@gmail.com... I can send u my number if talking in person would be easier lol but I’m thinking I need to adjust the valves or something with the push rods but really need some help on this cuz my kid is ready to ride! But keep up the good work and keep that information coming. Imma keep researching in the mean time. Love u guys and I’m sure “it’ll be fine!” Lol

I like the burnouts

The tank with all the holes in it would make a cool light fixture

Your DMV makes house calls? I like your state.

Sounds like the state makes out like bandits.

You guys are cornering the market on minibikes. Good thing about them they don't take up as much room as a car.

The process to deal with dmv sounds like a nightmare in NC. Can't say much VA has you jump through hoops but they don't actually come out an do inspection

Happy new year’s guys

I used to have a 1996 z50r and I straight piped it and it was loud but it sounded cool

Nice AMSOIL jacket

My guess on the silver one is that's its a earlier model by the way love the vids.

Sure wish Honda would bring back the Trail 70 and the 50 they were awesome.
