Back from the Revival Cycles Handbuilt Motorcycle Show.

What a month! The last month has seen a flurry of bike building. Finished the XR50 Stunter, and the CB50S AC-02, and repainted the body work on most of the Z50 Magnum. The CB500T is in the reassembly process, and not too far from done. Two days ago the B-man build was started in earnest. The Handbuilt Motorcycle show was the cherry on top. I could rattle on, but pictures do a better job...

Friday night, just before the show opened. The AC-02 is parked out front.

Max Hazan's "Musket" was the belle of the ball. The Z50 Magnum is in the background.

Cool old Indian used in the Wall of Death Show. So badass.

The Z50 Magnum is going to Revival Cycles Handbuilt show!

The Magnum was invited for the Revival Cycles Handbuilt show this year. The invitation along with some welding gloves with "Builder" sewn on them arrived a couple days ago. The bike is currently blown apart to detail it out and re-spray a couple parts. So very excited to be going. Not sure if this is the first minitrail to make a show like this, but thinking there can't be too many.

The Honda CB50S AC-02 awaits an engine...

The paint is buffed out. Small jobs are getting done while some engine parts are on the way from Japan. The instrument cluster, rear shock springs, front brake caliper, and master cylinder are getting powdercoated. Built a battery box that fits under the rear hump. Reconfigured the wire harness to go with all the relocated components. There is a small grommet near the motor mount on the left side of the engine that will allow the wires to travel inside the main up-tube. The seat got some pads. Buffed out he badly oxidized front blinkers and assembled them back with freshly replated zinc, and stainless steel hardware. The original frame sticker was reapplied. Badges in two different sizes were tried out on the side of the tank.
