I drove to Ohio to buy my first Honda Z50 for my collection. Brian told me he had the best one in the world and it was in his possession for 15 years after he got it from a closed down Honda dealer. I diiscovered that those were all lies. I got home and discovered a large crease in the tank. I guess it was my own mistake for not seeing it. Next I discovered many wrong and damaged parts. I sent him the followijng message and he read it - and then blocked me. He is a liar and a cheat and should not be trusted. If I told you how much I paid for the Honda Z50 you would be shocked.
So I do not know if you new these things or not, but being in the business you probably should have. Every day I find more screwed up or incorrect things about the bike bought from you. I am saddened that you were less than truthful with me about almost everything in regard to this mini-bike. (a survivor found in a closed down Honda dealership 15 years ago for instance) I am spending many hours and much $ making the bike correct. I collect guitars also, and In the guitar world you would be out of business if you passed off a fake like this. But in the motorcycle world I guess anything goes. Shame. Here is a short list of what I have found so far: 1978 Z50 Wrong Clutch cover – no words on the cover so it was made for 1979 and on Twisted black rear brake pedal –
very difficult to find Wrong gear shift pedal – the one on the bike was not even for a Z50 Wrong fenders – this model year the fenders need to be red – very hard to find Front fender bolts and nuts were mismatched and incorrect The chain guard was mangled near the stator cover Wrong light switch…hi lo switch instead of on/off Rear wheel the collar was faced backwards damaging the bearing The bolts on wheels facing wrong direction Both axles facing the wrong direction Front wheel has an incorrect thick spacer washer added There was black overspray on all of the silver parts of the foot peg assembly There was black overspray on the cylinder head Dented (creased) gas tank (my mistake for not seeing it) Right handlebar was bent- and later straightened -The crotch was kinked
