@@cspark9186 Disassembly (2:00), clean (4:20), prep/strip (5:25), paint/finish (7:05), and reassembly (8:25) is the definition of moto restoration. I didn't see prime or clear, but maybe it was not shown. I'm not a fan of painting springs but whatever. Very few renew damper internals (specialty) and I bet this is a small road-use bike that doesn't need it. So what did they miss for restoration?
sirve como lección, no sirve en lo económico porque por lo menos aca en argentina las dos pinturas mas los bujes estan cerca de los mil pesos q es lo q vale el juego de amortiguadores
Amigo no desarmaste la parte hidráulica y así no es. Te cuento que el líquido hay que cambiarlo porque se calienta al trabajar, por lo tanto se destruye. Además hay otros componentes que hay que ver como están. Esto es solo para demostrar que sabés pintar.
Estoy de acuerdo la parte hidráulica es lo más importante, así no tiene caso pintarla, es como cuando un chacharero pinta su chatarra para venderla como buena
@@hodaka1000 Well, if they're going to a museum, yes. If they're going to be installed on a bike, it's a waste of time. I'd rather have a chock absorber that looks ugly and performs great, than the other way around.
@@brufnus At the moment I have three new boxed sets of shocks and an excellent second hand set as spares but if you had nothing else or nothing better while waiting to find or afford replacements there is nothing wrong with what he has done I found the bike in my profile photo rusting away in the jungle in Far North Queensland in 1987 for $25 Some people don't know shit from clay
Innanzitutto complimenti, ottimo lavoro..!! Però vorrei capire il senso di questa riparazione.. voglio dire, farlo per se stessi ha un senso..! Ma ai fini commerciali non ha molto senso, troppo lavoro per restaurare oggetti che da nuovi costeranno all’incirca il medesimo costo della manodopera impiegata da te..!
first of all congratulations, great job .. !! But I would like to understand the meaning of this repair .. I mean, doing it for yourself makes sense ..! But for commercial purposes it doesn't make much sense, too much work to restore objects that when new will cost approximately the same cost as the labor employed by you ..!
nearly all old style shock absorbers that have dampers such as this type are not dismantleable/rebuildable and therfore can only be restored cosmetically, not that i would call a session with a wire wheel attached to a bench grinder and a couple of cans of spray paint a 'restoration'
All you brilliant characters criticizing this video actually note it says restoration not reconditioning or refurbishment ? so merely cosmetic and not part replacement or resealing ?
So what is the point in cleaning and painting shock absorbers which are obviously not going to do their intended job correctly ? Making them look pretty does not make them effective suspension elements ! These are dangerous and should be thown away.
How did you determine what seals and dampening oil to use? What is the longevity of that chrome in a can? Is this a service you provide, and if so, please provide prices and an address to send our highly prized shocks for the complete restoration/ rebuild service. Do you also do revalving for the riders weight and intended use?
