Re: Who owns a monkey and a dax
Yes - I've got a pair of Honda's little 'uns - 1972 ST70 and Z50J both currently undergoing restoration.
The ST70 was a pile of bits but is now a re-assembled pile of bits in red oxide primer that should be fired up sometime this week. Miracles can happen and need one right now.
The Z50J's origin is a bit of a mystery although it was absolutely complete and original when I bought it a few weeks ago. The speedo is in KPH and has never been registered but the frame number ADO2 505027885 would indicate it could be of Danish or Finnish origin between 1979 and '82. It obviously stopped bit sooner than intended by whoever was riding it last as the front fork sliders are bent although I got lucky and found a pair of pattern replacements at Easyrider.
This one is now completely stripped and the frame is being given a few coats of Simoniz Tough Black gloss in my "new" spray booth - see other topic for pics. Most of the shiny black bits on the frame are covered up though which saves a lot of awkward rubbing down. Plan is to finish it mostly black with red wheels etc.,
Pics of both to follow in due course when there's something worth showing.
Great forum with a host of useful info. to draw on.
Cheers, Brian.

Re: Who owns a monkey and a dax
Hi
Managed to get to the workshop this morning and got all 3 bikes together as they are stored in different places, the one on the left is the a 1978 ST70 which has been mildly customised and I call the Purple One this is a total rebuild including a sensible and tasteful paint job disc brakes front and rear extended swing arm, twin exhaust, Honda Nice headlight assy with digital speedo and lots of other bits and pieces.
The one in the middle is a 1969 USA K1 Minitrail
The very original other than the seat cover 1974 ST70 Lady Dax has had a total rebuild using most of the original parts other than the tyres and some nuts and bolts as these have been upgraded to stainless where equivalents are available.
I have got some other projects on the go but work has to come first
Regards tTufty
P.S yes before you ask the Purple One has got a VERY subtle flake under tone to the paint work !!!!!

Once again Tuffty, a nice shot of the "family" ;)

Thanks for giving me prior notice about the "flake undertone" because I put my sunglasses on to read this thread, but then realised that the sun was just not sunny enough to show it off properly!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

Looking good

All the best Simon
