Where you buy parts please reply brother
What do you use to clean rust in the tank
Dostum haberin olsun, "İki Teker Tek Silindir" youtube kanalı senin videonu parça parça yayınlayarak çalıyor.
I will bet anyone 100 bucks they sprayed this bike with salt water before filming. I've been restoring bikes for decades and i have NEVER seen a bike with rust so red or with no pitting or rotting in the metal. beautiful restoration, no argument, but if you are telling me you didn't doctor this for youtube, then this was a unicorn.
I've worked on old cars and motorcycles and a few things look odd as to corrosion. Metal pits and loses it's surface.
I agree this is the european resto vid channel they make rust on purpose. The sri lanken guys who rebuild stuff are geniune.
If you think all KZhead restos depicting rust on bikes or machinery, or anything made of metal for that matter is genuine you're easily fooled.
Most impressive is how none of the rusted bolts broke. And it's just inmpossible to wash off corrosion like on 26:20. I guess most of the rust here is just made with rust-effect paint
Exactly my thoughts too.
It’s absolutely amazing to me how people like you can tear every little piece apart, and then know how to put it back together. Great job.!!!
Brings back old memories. I used to own a CB-100 in the late 80’s, early 90’s when I was living in Jamaica (I’m in Canada, now). The CB-100 is very similar to this one in the video. Those bikes were very reliable and easy to maintain and fix. Especially if you have a Hanes Shop Manual for it and good tools. It was also very good on gas. My CB-100 got about 120 miles/gallon. The tank took 2 gallons. That bike was my FREEDOM! I loved that bike and I miss it. Sold it to my brother-in-law when I migrated.
You have brought back the sweetest memories. A much loved friend....we grew up right across the road from each other....he had one of these. He passed away some years back. Thanks for making my heart smile ✌️♥️
Okay here's a cookie 🍪
@@ishredder4006 are you always such a miserable sour person?
You look like such a sweet young lady. "You meet the nicest people on a Honda".
Yes old men do that. They leave you for motorcycle Heaven.
Don't be sorry ma'am. Be happy that you had a nice friend and a good memory. Beautiful things happen and end.
Outstanding restoration! There's a huge amount of motivation, ambition, hours, equipment, cost, time and love into projects like this. Most cannot appreciate what it really takes to accomplish a feat such as this.
So true, heck I do these things to larger bikes and it takes a LOT of Time, Discipline, Focus, and ingenuity to process every inch of a bike to a worthy level of acceptance. And some LUCK with parts.
That's amazing! You've put a lot of work into that thing and it absolutely shows. Aside from the tyres, it's like you went through a time machine and plucked this from the showroom floor!
No, this is a heavily-modified CG125, and it looks very little like it did in the showroom. Someone in the past has customised it with a different cut-down seat, different front and rear mudguards, rear lights and indicators, as well as removing the the side panels and chain guard, plus the different exhaust.
All his videos have the same color of dirt.
Sterilized vacuum chamber! Incredible...I imagine MrRescue could build Space Shuttles for a living. The discipline is unmatched! Fantastic work
Nothing beat restoring old Honda motorcycles should a master piece
엔진 소리가 이렇게 감동적 일 수 있군요 너무 멋있습니다. 졔 슈퍼커브도 자가 정비하는 수준이라 이 작업이 얼마나 힘들고 고도의 숙련도를 요구하는지 너무도 잘 알고 있습니다 앞으로 더 많은 사람들에게 잊혀졌던 추억과 감동을 전해주시길 응원 하겠습니다.^~^*
Thank you for including the sound of the paint bubbling up on the gas tank. I love that sound and no one ever includes it.
That’s just a fire recording in the woods. If you listen carefully you can hear birds and wind in the background.
One of the most reliable engines out there! Had a cheap Chinese dual sport with a 250cc engine. It was cloned after the Honda cg engine and everything looks exactly the same to a tea! Even though the engine on the dual-sport was made of cheap materials it made up for it by being designed so well! Had the bike for about 3k miles before I sold it for another bike. The engine never gave me any issues and I beat the crap out of it.
This looks and sounds like an updated version of the S90 that I owned in high school. Well over 100 mpg and and reliable. Beautiful job.
These guys know what they are doing. Great job and very inspiring.
You're right, I simply couldn't believe what happened next! He restored it and after that it was restored!!
Full hardwork no talking, this guy deserve more views 🔥
all that hard work... but that seat still, nice job sir
This is amazing. Love all the pride and effort that goes into something like this!
I really appreciate the way you used your skill and experience to salvage that terribly ill-treated motorcycle and restored it to a useful and rather attractive machine. We throw away far too much of all the things we use. Most of us would have sent a motorcycle in the state yours was in to the junk yard.
Ну, что я могу сказать, вы инженер своего дела вам спасибо, за такие замечательные ракурсные съёмки
Great job. I had a CG125 a few years back, lovely little bike, never let me down.
They say Henry Ford put America on wheels. Honda may be doing the same for the planet. Honda has a well earned reputation for bullet-proof reliability.
@@hal511bm rightly said. I bought an 18 years old Honda CG 125, very much abused and rusted. Only the engine restoration changed the game. the whole restoration is ongoing.
@@ridwanm.9280 Bro you can get a bran new cg in pakistan Atlas honda limited is still producing cg 125 in pakistan it's somewhere around 790usd
yes you are right i am from pakistan and i own a cg 125, Great bike for daily commute@@uzmazaidi6486
Looked like the fork tube top bearing race was installed upsidedown?! Flat against the bearing balls??? Did I see that right?! Also the kick start return spring appears broken? So much work to leave little things like that unrepaired. I agree with others, apart from the seat and tires, an excellent job!
Trabalho fantástico, parabéns, muito talento 👏👏👏.
Man, what an education--as a newbie, I only wish he would put what he was doing in each process on the screen. the part removed and the cleaning process and solution and tools used. Fantastic video, though!!
Great work the seat lets it down
I am so glad I watched the video. What a truly satisfying experience you must of had with this project. I know I did watching it.
10:36 linda restauração, estão de parabéns
Another masterpiece! Such a pleasure to watch! Thank you 💕
What! Did you see the kicker, seat? There is no chain cover, stand.....!
Excellent work, you can tell a lot of time and effort went into putting together all these details with painstaking effort. Having said that, wonder why a little more thought and maybe some really quality leather/vinyl didn’t go into the seat? Seemed like one of the final touches, not to mention comfort when riding was treated somewhat like an afterthought. Anyway, I don’t mean to be critical, I can’t imagine how much time goes into something like this. Congrats on a beautiful restoration.
What an incredible restoration and video! Amazing job my friend! You've brought this beautiful little bike back to life!👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
Hard work combined with craftmanship delivers an amazing result, thank you for the video.
The kitty worked sooo hard on this project. Love the kitty! ♥♥
Very good work, you forgot the kick starter return spring.
Amazing restoration mate! Keep going!
Great restoration, lot of focus on details that matter, including the sound. nice one. Thank you
would love a list of solvents/chemicals used for this project!
Time lapse of the paint stripper working was awesome. Nice work!
Looks amazing. Love the sound too.
I haven't seen such a great restoration since "Great Idea". I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
What a gorgeous bike. It never ceases to amaze me that the intriquite gears and all the moving parts inside were invented and designed by a team of brilliant engineers. It's so perfect.
Good night 😴
At last! The full process was well worth the wait!!! Awesome job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Lampu utama kebawah sedikit, selebihnya kerja bagus broo👍👍👍
Svaka cast! Gledao sam dosta restauracija ovo je medju boljima. Dobro je da na nasim prostorima ima ljudi koji rade dobro restauracije. Pozdrav
Great restoration! I was wondering however, having removed all the rust from the chromework, did you give those parts a coating of lacquer to prevent further rusting? Many years ago, I once cleaned an old chrome motorcycle luggage rack which came off my Honda CB125S. Having removed all the rust, without further thought, I just put it back on the bike. within a month however, with the bike being used in all weathers, the rack started to rust up again so I had to take it off and clean it again, this time giving it a coating of lacquer. It didn't stop the rust for ever but it did take several years for the rust to start reappearing.
Parabéns excelente restauração
One of the coolest things I've seen on KZhead. Well done
Alot patience and dedication for this task.. excellent
Hi, that was a very nice job you did on this motorcycle and thank you for the time you put into restoring it. I am an Iranian, I watched this video and it was interesting to me that a Honda 125 is being rebuilt, because this type of motorcycle is still produced in Iran and people ride it, and in the eyes of Iranians, this motorcycle has a long life, parts It is famous for its cheapness, high power, and beauty, and it is produced in Iran in Handy, Handy, and Starty types and in 125, 150, and 200 cc engine sizes. It is interesting to know that I also have a model of this motorcycle that has square lights and a simpler appearance. I have never seen its trail model before and I am not familiar with this model. Thank you very much.
Same here in Pakistan.Although we dont have 150 & 200 cc models nor EFI models.i live near Iranian border and have seen alot of models here in Balochistan, But i wonder why are Pakistani models loved here😂While Iranian models pack alot of features and Pakistani models dont.
@@aaqibbaloch02 Hello dear brother Pakistan in Iran like the people of Pakistan are interested in this engine with all kinds of motorcycle models all Iranian and foreign Honda buy this sample! And I'm sure there are also in Pakistan, but my friend the controversial point is that there are at least 2 to 5 of these motorcycles in rural houses in Iran and 1 or 2 in cities. Some take the engines of the trawl and replace it with Honda and without a license plate. 🇮🇷❤️🇵🇰
All that work, and then...that seat!
Yes, that didn't make sense. And the kickstarter return spring. What's with that?
yes. and the kick, after starting the bike.
the 1st motorcycle I learned how to ride during late 80s. very extreme torquey powerful and no roads it will evade💪👍🏻
Just one slip of the file, and your beautiful tank paint is ruined! Stunning!
Absolutely fantastic restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bela restauração .
Outstanding restoration! PERFECT!!
Dang Dude, that's hall of fame stuff right there.
Wspaniała robota,coś pięknego
Almost perfect!!! Minus the seat and the kickstart
And front fender
Yes thinking the same
Is the front wheel bigger
@@clintstallone yes mullet setup
Rear Springs are 😂
Honda quality...even after years you sand it a bit ,paint it and it looks like new!👌💙
Love that tank! Great resto project
Great work! @ 41:24 You definitely want to solder those connections before shrink wrapping.
Love the kick start hangs down
Kick start return spring not properly tensioned, my one broke because I kicked it too hard... Pain to fix!
A reasonable restoration well done!
Wow beautiful ! I can't belive it only took 45 days !
All that work finished off with a seat a 5 year old could have done 😂
If you read the thumb nail and watched the video that was the original seat from the restoration
@@tyhat89it is, but its not a original seat. Its probably self made by the previous owner.
@@tyhat89 so nothing changes. Its still a seat fitted that looks like a school child repaired it. You didn’t make any points.
What in the world is that magical degreaser you used on the engine components?!
The cinematography here is incredible!
Love the created rust!
The seat is the only thing letting it down, other than that it's awesome
The kickstarter not?
@@Lex9296 this bike never came with an electric start. Most 2 strokes don't and certainly from this year of motorcycles
@@AdamForeman I meant: also the Kickstart pedal (falling down) is one of the "letting down" things.
@@AdamForeman its a four stroke , and most hondas were fitted with starter motors from the mid 60s but your correct that this bike was kickstart only as it was only a six volt system
The Seat ??? Frontfender , exhaust , engine Paint - sorry , all Shit ...☹️😔👎👎👎
for an old motorcycle, thats some clean engine. well oiled too.
Yes indeed, almost as if they dirtied it up to make an impressive video... Nice fresh rust too. What a great iob. 😂
@@Mr_CMH been thinking that too. 🤣🤣🤣
FANTASTIC restoration 👍 real deadecation thank you for SHARING this project with us .
Correct me if im wrong, I think you should connect the breather (redtube that come from engine) to the air filter unit
The hose that runs from the valve cover to that intake pipe is the engine's crankcase breather. The lubricating oil of the engine gets hot, always in addition to a lubricating effect, the oil also cools the bearings and other parts. That oil therefore becomes hot and vaporizes in the crankcase. So there is some pressure there.
@@hondaryder3779 what are you talking about?
The chemical paint removal shots were great
Amazing restoration.
You go through all of this and only twist the wires together??? come onnn. Other than that, really nice resto!!! good job!
he cut the part of the video where he soldered them. When you look at the joint when he puts the heat shrink on, solder has been added.
@@kaidwyer ah I see, there's very little solder but its better than twisting wires together haha
Серьезно? Кик-стартер висит без возврата в стартовое положение, который потом же трещит из-за храповика. Сиденье обтянуто отвратительно, куча складок, мог бы и постараться сделать лучше. Скрутки проводов без пропайки - минус надежность электрики, плюс возможные проблемы в будущем. Обойма насыпного подшибника рулевой колонки установлен верх ногами, а это скорее всего люфт. Заднее колесо вращается как будто с биением, то ли колесо восьмеркой, то ли покрышка встала не совсем ровно. И это я пишу только о том, что увидел при быстром просмотре ролика. Как можно было так облажаться? По косметике выглядит красиво, по механике хоть заново все пересоберай.
Херли ты хочешь от реставрации?их задача разобрать красиво на камеру и покрасить, даже наверно сальники и прокладки старые оставили. Видео ради контента к этому надо относится именно так
@@user-ln1rh3wk3u тогда это уже не ресторация 😅
@@kamid5129 согласен, это был сарказм. Я к тому что у нынешних реставраторов разобрать и покрасить называется "реставрацией" и плевать как это будет работать и что через недель движка обоссытся маслом🤷
@@user-ln1rh3wk3u о да, а когда сам что-то ремонтирегь и тратишь на это неделю, думаешь что за хрень, а потом понимаешь что просто не на отвали делаешь
@@kamid5129 да да ,сам хочу Мот хочу реставрировать, но никак руки не дойдут. Боюсь за зиму не успею, а в сезон катать хочется
Wow. When you put the engine on the frame, I thought it is newer. What awesome job.
Amazing work.. love it...I am Rashid mehmood bike mechanic from Pakistan.
Hii
Form Indian
Install the piston the proper way. That hurt to watch. Hammering the head onto the piston/piston rings is a good way to damage something or give yourself major oil consumption issues
Seriously, though.....is this some sort of social experiment?
Social experiment? LoL. No music, no words, one guy restoring a motorcycle. That's it. By the way, he did an excellent restoration.
@@user-gp2px8kr5d What I meant, was how is this getting so many 'well done, brilliant' comments, when there are REAL restorers on YT, not just tinkerers. To call this guy a 'tinkerer' is doing him great credit, as the end result was a pile of poo! I'm just pointing out the obvious.
@@theymusthatetesla3186 Those that can do. Those that can't watch, and in some cases complain. To call what he did poo is bullshit in itself. If you didn't like what he did, why bother watching? You're one of those who couldn't simply enjoy the process. It's a restoration, not a customization. He accomplished his goal. Oh, and it started.
Profissional da restauração competentíssimo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That Wenol polish is great stuff, I got pink for aluminum and blue for steel. Finishes nice!!great job!
really good...will the seat have an oem cover too?
Very nice restoration.
Luar biasa, pekerjaan detail dan hasil sangat memuaskan
AWESOME! The only disappoint thing about this video for me is the lack of use of a torque wrench. Missing that satisfying click and the knowledge that it's tighten correctly and sufficiently. 😂
Really enjoyed the video!! The only part that was difficult to watch was 22:10 installing the cylinder,the way you just smacked it down over the piston?!? Do you not have to align and compress the rings on this bike?!?. Anyway watch every minute and il watch many more! 👊🏻🇬🇧
From Egypt and middle east really great effort dear and you have a good mentality keep it up
I bought few days ago! 1980 Honda cg125. I must say, it is very powerful in a small engine!
Still missing the side covers and the kickstarter is need to be change because it is hanging down. but it is fully restored how amazing !!! love it
Amazing job, well done!
Great video work & excellent restoration technique. Where can I find a list of the chemicals, solutions, spray paints you used ? Many thanks
amazing effort and craftmanship!
Thank you. Very much appreciate the excellent video. The Honda sounds so sweet and you look so happy.
Beautiful job ❤
Beautiful rescue!
Great video! Brought back memories of my youth. Keep them coming. You have a new sub!
i pulled one of these out of a barn recently, seems i have alot of work ahead of me to get it running.
The kick spring look broken . The engine noise tomuch . ⭐️⭐️⭐️The body restoration is A1 class painting A1 class .
Beautiful restoration!
