Honda 50 C100 - 1965 Been in the shed for 4 years and finally got around to restoring it. The C100 is the best model of the Honda 50 as it is the most stylish. The colour used in the powder coating is RAL 3020
My father had one of these years ago and I always remember him taking me out into the countryside on it for a spin during the summers,he had it for years great days and memories and a great reliable bike too.
Fascinating video. I owned a 1962 example (GZD424) for years as a student. My father was a mechanic and he showed me how to replace the kickstart shaft (a weakness in the C100 cured in the C50) and how to rebuild it after a big end/conrod replacement. I always had a spare engine ready to go in as once replaced the big end did not last!! Your video brought me right back to those days. I remember replacing a fork and placing those 2 sets of 21 ball bearings. No RU-vid to help in those days My father got a flywheel puller made in his job (Dublin Gas Co) and we bought the castleated spanner to remove the clutch assembly I sold mine still in perfect condition in 1971 and the new owner made bits of it😒
Yes these items can bring back great memories. Shame they made mush of the bike. Well I'm not a mechanic and I could find no video that didn't have a load of waffle attached to it, that one could watch without being bored of the person on the video.So many people want to be famous.
Hi Tom just read your piece in the Irish vintage magazine lovely bike Im restoring a c100 at the moment and was wonder howuch it cost to get the barrel rebuilt as I have no keys, thanks dave
I'm in Cork myself. There was someone on Done deal advertising number plates but not sure if the brackets were with them. The brackets are made with a bump in the lower section as there is a bump on the mudguard. You could try someone scrapping motorcycles.
@@shaneblessing3354 Got some on eBay uk and Thailand. Some of the Thailand stuff isn't great. Savage shipping costs and customs charges. There's a guy in Cavan I think who does parts.
Hello, I have a question. Can I exchange Super Cup with C100? In our country, the export of Euro 5 has passed, but the C100 will not pass, so I am going to do a big project with the super cube from Old Cube (e.g., c100, c102, etc.). I want to hear your thought. Do you know the case of installing the supercub's engine in the oldcub?
hi Tom,your bike is looking well . i have a 1961 honda c100 its running but i would like to get the engine over hauled . just wandering if the guy who did up your engine would be interested . i live in tipperary
Dont know if anyone gives a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend recently xD
Hello, I live in Korea, which is very close to Honda's country, Japan. I have a question because I am curious about your video. I also want to Restore Honda Old Style's Cub (C-100) I hope to restore it, but there's a problem. The speedometer, brake lever, and Color's steeringwheel .. I couldn't get the parts. Where did you buy the genuine parts? Is it buyed to Ebay? Or Honda website?? Or Amazon? Or used motocycle? (C-100)
Hi, You can buy aftermarket and original parts from www.cmsnl.com or david silverspares.co.uk. You can get original second hand parts for sale on www.ebay.co.uk. When on ebay make sure to click the worldwide option and this will give more parts in different countries. There are suppliers advertising on ebay from Thailand & Vietnam who sell replica parts. Sometimes it is better to buy a donor bike for your parts and sell the remaining parts when you finish the restoration. If you have a japanese friend they might know of some way of getting the original parts in Japan. Good luck with your restoration. Greetings from Ireland.
@@tomcahill8506 Nice to meet you. I was desperate because I thought it was not easy to restore the original due to my lack of English skills. But my poor English skills and inaccurate translation program... I was very moved by your detailed answer. I also knew that Honda Cub Motorcycle was sold a lot in Thailand and Vietnam.ten thousand It wasn't easy at all. Surprisingly, I was able to find a lot of European and American people on RU-vid website who are restoring the Cub Motorcycle in Honda, Japan. It's very surprising. Was Honda Cub Motorcycle sold a lot in the United States, Canada, and Europe? The fact that related forums and related community websites exist in Europe and the United States I didn't know that! Thank you very much! Honda's country is close to Japan, but I don't have a Japanese friend. I'll have to search the Japanese website soon. Thank you for your answer! From "ojing-game" and "hyundai, Kia, Samsung" are famous. Republic Of Korea
@@Rooisve You are welcome. Honda's sold in the millions in Europe. On ebay there is a guy from Thailand "Otto classic bike". Best of luck. I had a Ssangyong Rexton jeep for a good few years.
@@tomcahill8506 Wow! I get surprised really often today! Are you Korean? Ssangyong Motor is a jeep and suv company that is not well known in Korea. It's a company with a long history in Korea. But so far, it has produced only Sport Utility vehicles rather than Sedan cars. I also currently own a 2,700cc diesel type Engine Rexton produced in 2009. Honda was a more amazing and monstrous company? than I thought... Apart from Asians being discriminated against in Europe, the United States, and Canada, it was a very Western company, right?!!! It's interesting and fun! Asian experiences racism, but Asian Honda exports a lot!! the fact to make surprised me uhm... Is it Ebay Seller ? "Otto classic bike" ?
@@tomcahill8506 Ssang Yong company is experiencing a significant management crisis recently, so I am also thinking about sending the Rexton vehicle to the junkyard soon. Sadly, I've been driving for a long time and now I cherish him like a dog. It's so sad that the moment of goodbye is approaching. It has been driving 402,500 kilometers so far. Is it easy to get the Genuine parts of SSang Yong motors company in your country? It's hard to get genuine parts in Korea. I just found out that eBay can easily get genuine parts of the old motor cycle produced in the 60s. But in Korea, it's hard to get SSangyong's genuine maintenance parts that were produced 10 years ago. But there's one hopeful news. 4 days ago. There's a new electric car maker who's drawing attention as Tesla in Korea. There was news that Ssang-yong company was acquired and merged. I feel great because I think that will be Electronic Vehicle version Rexton car will be released! and I believe that they will be make Old version Rexton Genuine parts
