1968 Z50A K0

The Final Chapter

Thank you for your interest in this restoration project.  It's been quite an undertaking!  Not only have I learned all about the 1968 K0, I also learned a lot about my first Z50 restoration, the 1969 K1.  And, as I put the finishing touches on the K0, I was able to fine tune details on the K1, correcting a fair amount of inaccuracies along the way.  I also wanted to feature my favorite pit bike, my QA50. She was restored in 1994, and has accompanied me to many Jetski races, where I serve as Announcer and sometimes Racer.  It's a handy thing to have when the bathroom is a quarter mile away!! 

Are they 100% original?  No, but fairly close.  Some items were impossible to find, and other items were done a little bit different from factory original.  Why?  Because I wanted to!  What's left to do?  Put oil and gas into the K0 and fire it up!  The K1 will remain a non-runner, at least for the time being.  But, all it'll take is some gas and oil, as well as adding electrolyte to the battery, and she'll be a runner as well!

THANK YOU'S

There are a few people who must be mentioned here.  Without their support, these projects just wouldn't have turned out very good!  If those parties mentioned here have a website, I will link their names to their site.

I present to you here all the completed projects.
