This '65 Honda C100 was handed down to a son from his father. In need of a bunch of work, I got the call after a quick search on the web.

A quick review of a completed project. Mechanical work on this bike included a fork seal replacement, carb rebuild and battery warning light bypass. Aesthetic work included painting the fork lowers, center stand, kickstand, engine side covers and master cylinder. The majority of the hardware was also cleaned and/or polished. Final step was a complete buffing of the original paint.

zhlédnutí 576Před 4 lety
Just a quick walk around of a 1963 Honda 55. Got the bike in exchange for some work on two other old Honda’s. Didn’t run when I got ahold of it. Drained and cleaned the fuel tank and carb, oil change, clutch adjustment, points adjustment and a few other small items and it runs well. Will most likely be for sale in the future.

En su época la llamaron la come 1000 .
wow, nice work. looks brand new
my sister got a brand new one just like this! It got me a XR75 because I couldn’t touch on it.
I have 1985 GPZ-750 in excellent condition original owner with 21k miles. I will sell it if the price is right I have photos
2 Strokes 4 ever. 😊
My friend had this bike back then and I got the ride it and it was a great riding bike but it didn't have a fantastic amount of power imagine this bike with a 250cc two-stroke Yamaha engine upgraded it would be an awesome animal
🤩🇺🇸👍⚖️👁️👁️⚖️It's a gem! Keep as is! Have a worked 84 in mothballs. Retirement 🏆 project!I rode from Long Island to Pasagoula to my US Navy destroyer! Good video! All the best!👍🇯🇵🏁🏁🏁
This was my first motorcycle.
Got the dt250 oem same shape as this one not quite as clean but damn these are fun bikes
Seems like the 250 enduro is the only size I haven't worked on recently. I've done a 360, 175, 125 and even a 60 but not a 250. You are correct they are a blast!
Great Bike, not a 69. That's a 70 K4.
You’ll have to take that up with whoever put on the vin tag. 12/69
Sorry but if I know anything it's that your bike is a 70 K4 model. You can look it up. I have a 69 K3. You can go to my page to see what they look like. You still have a nice bike by the way.@@Motorcyclesymmetry
Do you currently have any 2 strokes for sale?
Beautiful motorcycle
Thank you sir! I too was once a highmilagerider.
Very loud and quick back in the day 😮
I can agree to the loud part without question. She makes her presence known.
Red Rockets back in the day 😮
Nice 👍
It would be great if a company recreated the Hodaka experience, I don't think that the Government,the EPA, and others would allow it.
If idiots can still "roll coal" I think we can get away with it somehow.
10 H.P.
It's a monster!
Looks like 64 YDS 3 Yamaha we had in Australia
My first bije was an ACE100B. So much fun, that rear sprocket was so big it could climb as well as 175`s and honda 4 strokes.
This was the first bike I bought brand new back in the early 70's for I think $385. This bike started my life long love of enduro riding.
I see a lot of original invoices doing this kind of work. $385 might get you tires and tubes.
@Motorcyclesymmetry Times and prices have definitely changed. Back in 1976 I bought my first truck. It was a brand new Dodge D100 for a whopping $2,800.
Did I hear $800.00 for chrome of clamp and two hubs? WOW am I outta touch?
If you haven’t chromed anything in a long time yes you are out of touch unfortunately. Plus 12-16 week wait time.
Last chroming I had done was two fork legs probably 8 years ago and they were $250.00 and 6 months, had to ship them to Minn. from Colorado. Yeah, expensive.@@Motorcyclesymmetry
Sounds like my teenage years. Got a bike license on one that color in 1976.
Could you please provide the source or website of the parts dealer you used for this?
You can get almost everything from this seller. www.ebay.com/str/amsupercub Depending on what you're looking for there are other sellers as well. Simply do a search for "C100 Exhaust" or a similar part and you'll see a bunch of options.
Did the tank clear the front of the frame ? I've heard some of them are a bit narrow at the front and are a tight fit on the frame I do have one but haven't tried it on a bike yet
Yes it clears. It’s tight but it clears. If you have a powdered frame you may need to sand it down a bit based on my experience.
@@Motorcyclesymmetry Thanks If need be I'd shave a little off the frame and plate it with flat steel if you understand what I mean I've been thinking of getting one of their aluminium tanks as well
@@Motorcyclesymmetry The mudguards/fenders are stainless steel Doe's this Ace still have it's tyre pump ?
❤❤
I had a Honda 90 back in the early seventies. It was in a guys yard with bent forks. Took a long time to get the new forks. I remember it topped out at 62. I'm interested in getting a c100 or c125. Would like to know more about the larger ones. What kind of top speed can you get out of them. And how hard are these to find for sale?
C100's are pretty easy to find. They sold a bajillion of them.
That bike is nice....just needs a chrome header !
awesome bike,i loved it,can u please tell me what the actual color is that? and how much would u sell it?thanks.....
The rear tire was a Dunlop variable pitch, if I'm not mistaken. I owned brand new a 1977 cr125 when I was about 17 years old. Used to fan the clutch and the thing would rip. Loved it! Thanks for sharing. Brings back great memories.
You did a great job! I have a 1971 Yamaha RT360 with 2000 original miles to restore. Hasn't been driven in 40 years.

I just bought a new Honda SUPER CUB for 2023!
I have a 1984 Honda Spree, i need help,, I need to restore it
Can you tell me the colour of the wire that need’s connected to the battery + side
If I’m not mistaken it was the pink wire.
I just bought this exact bike as a barn find with 2,000 original miles on it. Hasn't run since 1984. Do you have a complete restoration video for this bike? Thanks. I can't wait to start working on it
If I’m understanding you correctly no that’s not my thing. I spend my time maintaining the website vs being a video editor. Best of luck with it!
I had the 550 Suzuki GS 78 black with gold pin stripping . I want the 750 next.
هل يوجد مركز توزيع بمصر
Not that I’m aware of.
Awesome I just picked one up exactly the same to recomission and ride 500 miles around Scotland. You can see the work on our CZcams channel 😁 Also we have a video on how to remove rust from inside tanks using electrolysis so take a look. It's so easy.. Very nice work brother.
How would I get one of the brake decals?
I have some. I've been meaning to put them on my website for a while. Obviously hasn't happened! I'll let you know when I get them uploaded.
I have a 1975 and need a tank, what brand tank did you use for the replacement? Great video👏🏻👍🏻
Larry I used a LT style tank that had a key and latch setup vs the screw on gas cap.
@@Motorcyclesymmetry I got this one snd trying to sell, it needs much or be a good parts bike.
Beautiful job, beautiful bike. This bike was manufactured when I was 12 years old, long before I became interested in motorcycles. We never had that model here. When the Yamaha dealership started, the R3 (YR3) was already out. I got my first bike at 17 in 1973, a well used Yamaha CT1 175 trail. At 67, I still ride almost every day. Oh ! How I love Twin-cylinder 2-stroke Yamahas ! Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
If you like 2-stroke twins, here is some ear candy. czcams.com/video/ZIqIXo5MUxo/video.html
@@Motorcyclesymmetry Thanks. Ramish. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
NICE JOB thanks for posting this!!!! Looking at one in SC for $2500.
I think I bought this one for $800. The bike now enjoys a comfy life in my finished basement.
How do I remove the carburetor on one
Do you want to sell it
Picking one of those up this week from a private seller. Used to have one in the mid 80s in the UK! 🍻
I bought one new and rode it for years. Thanks for doing the video. Takes me back. Amazingly fast up twisty mountain roads with lotsa hairpin curves. Appreciate you explanation of why the black exhaust pipes--obviously the original was chrome.
No problem glad you enjoyed it. Black hides everything so I’m told.
Want to sell it ? I owned the same one I had bought new and sold it in 1987
Hello Al. None of the bikes on my channel are for sale unless noted in the title. They are all restoration projects brought to me by owners. Sorry about that!
Great bike 🏍 had 1984 A REG 🇬🇧
nice job . i have a k5. what do you think of the plastic sidecovers? i cant find any fiberglass ones. what do you use to polish between the fins ? . any info is appreciated . jamie in newzealand.
The plastic side covers worked really well. They were a good fit. For cleaning the fins without disassembly your best bet is a brush with the longest bristles you can find. For actual polishing? Not sure how you would go about that. I typically clean and/or blast the cylinders and heads prior to painting so no actual polishing. Best of luck with your project!
It's a 1975, I had one then, it got stolen on a US Army base and the government paid me for it, I used the money and bought a 1976 Suzuki GT 550 two weeks before turning 16 when I could get a license for it.
Great looking bike!!
My second bike was a new 78 GS750. I moved up from a TS185. Loved both of them.
