    As a dad, I can confirm that you two were building more than a bike. You were building memories. Long after your son has outgrown the bike, he will remember building it with you. Great video.

    It’s awesome to see that you got your son involved with you. He’ll remember this for a long time or maybe even try his hand at becoming a mechanic. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    And that folks is how you raise your sons! Don’t make them hold the flashlight, you get better lighting in your garage and build it together.

    Sparky, you need to stop with the wife's kitchen knife. I used to "not use" my wife's knife too while cutting out gun placement in my Pelican 1750 gun cases. Then the epiphany of my electric bread knife hit me. I now have a set for my garage that isn't hers. Runs through foam padding like butter and allows you to shape the foam a little easier.Great builds by the way, keep them coming.

    I grew up riding that z50, I use to do donuts in the gravel driveway till there were no rocks left in the spot and rubber was getting layed down.

    Roughly 3:20 seconds in was the most settle but assertive “correct yourself” I’ve ever heard since the show Monk lmao. My little 3 and half year old daughter will do something like that as I build my 97 z50 that’s going to be here in about 5 years lol and it’s big bored 88cc goes 52! That’s me at 195 on it too and I just did the exact mods they did beside keeping my rear tire and front 3.50-8

    Looks amazing, classic 80s CR and XR (and some XL lol) color ways.... wish someone made a conversion kit to recreate the Z50R look on the new Monkey 125.... love the look of the new Monkey as it looks like one from the 60s through 80s, but it'd be cool for an option to make it look like either the old Z50R's or late Z50R's 😅

Especially assuming that you’ve finished this awesome project, had a good time with your son and uploaded an awesome video about it.😎👍🏻

    Hey mate, is it true the front wheel is 2.5 wide and the rear is 3.5? Can i run a 3.5 on the front and a 3.5 on the rear aswell, or does it not fit?
