Restoring a sportsbike into formor glory - Honda rc-51, ducati 748 etc.

What do I start looking for first? The turbos or the gold wing?

The body kit 😁

@@addeats appropriate responce!!

Lol been watching too much shadetree surgeon, Jake 😂

Yup Put a Turbo on a Gold Wing Good ideao for a project for you Jake ... I have looked at the Turbo for an FZ-07 they sell a nice kit in Australia swing arm extensions too .. for obvious reasons.. It's simpler to just get an MT-09 However..

I dont agree. That 1 inch headlight looks ignorant and the rake is all wrong for this type build

As a swiss - he looks like he is in residential area. Washing down chemicals like this in your driveway can get you in real trouble in most countries in Europe.

It's rok bagaros⚡⚡

Big fan rock love your stunting and your content you're simply awesome, love from India

Big fans of KTM street bike and ofcourse you

I had a cup of tea and just got on with it.

For real. Made me want to give him all my stuff to fix.

It's a set

If shop is not clean and organized never take bike or car to it. If shop looks bad shows low standards, run

I want to start wrenching on bikes and have zero experience do you got any tips ?

I work in my own garage. Do they even have custom bike shops?

@@futuress4236 Just watch RU-vid. Not intended to be a free Ad, but you can pretty much find a video on anything you need to do here - if not several versions of the same task, but done by different people. It will help if you choose a bike that already has lots of content on here. LOTS to choose from!! Enjoy!!! Oh, plus also join a Forum for your bike.

@@futuress4236 start with simple stuff. oil changes, brakes, adjusting chain, and so on.

I just prefer most people. Don't touch older bikes... This makes them affordable! I'm having my eyes on a hawk now, which I hope to snag up for €500,-... Fuel tank has rotted out, exhaust leaking... If I clean the tank completely, I can make dents where the holes are and fill then with lead, easy, affordable and reliable after coating the inside...

You know there are individual youtubers that have made entire bikes with no sponsors, pools of money, no super expensive camera with a camera crew. I recently saw a guy build an entire electric bike by himself.

And here to stay :) busy summer Ahead.

Thank you!

I traveled to London from NZ in the late 80s, and got a job as a motorcycle courier, i thought i would get some sort of training but i was given a bike, a list of my regular clients a 2 way radio, a call sign, an A to Z of London map book, and off i went, into the complete chaos that was/is London :-) In the UK it is completely legal to filter through stationary traffic, so at every red light, all the couriers (and back then there was LOADS of us) would ride to the front, and every light change became light a GP start :-). Started on a company owned CX 500, which was almost the perfect courier bike and very common among riders, then bought a Honda XBR500, (don't know if the US got those) which was nice and slim, for weaving in and out stopped traffic. Delivered everything from Donor organs to some very dodgy packages for some very dodgy people :-) Mostly my main clients were magazine houses and TV studios. The London offices of Vogue, Elle, The Face, were regular haunts as well as ITV (independent Television Studios). Did it for 5 years, made real good money once i knew my way around, and saw some wacky shit. Loved it.

Thank you! Tiny and mighty but we like to pump out all kinds of projects in garage 93.

That’s the plan! Stay tuned this summer for more.

Just paid 1k for a cream puff low mileage stocker. There are deals to be had. My old race hawk has about 4k into it but is priceless to me.

@@ducatiboy There's a couple in TX on CL right now for just under $2k. Which seems lower than they've been the last few years.

I race one as well & it’s my favorite bike to race, even over my modern bikes.

Do you know what subframe he used to run the rs125 tail?

I just watched the whole video in 1.25

Me too!

I had a red (89?) I bought new in 92 and built into a mint two brothers RC31 beast. I was moving cross country so sold it in 94. Only bike sale I've regretted.

Such and awesome and under appreciated bike! Good luck on you build.

@@AaronColton93 Thank you. Cheers.

Glad you enjoyed the episode! Those moving timelapse shots are captured on a motion controlled timelapse system that we program to line up closely to the amount of time Aaron thinks it will take him to accomplish the section of the build we're capturing.

Agreed, lovin the home made oven 🤙🏽

It sure was tempting! I pulled the trigger on a few things but left the engine internals alone!

@@AaronColton93 At least put the 2° timing advance gear in there from Hordpower - very easy install & gives it some pep @ least. Def worth the 💰 & you'll notice an immediate difference in performance.

@@AaronColton93 Can you tell me what swingarm/wheel combo is swapped on the Hawk build?

​a VFR 750 from mid-90's is the standard crossover for the rear tire/swingarm combo . . . lots of them out there.

me too

CARRERA 5046/S

Looked like a ttx36, and those are pretty sweet (biased...). I'm curious as well, as to why it was swapped. Clearance between the gas reservoir and the rear wheel may have been an issue.

Please keep doing these love to see the fam in there too!

Thank you! We keep it tiny but mighty over here!
