This restoration/customizing stuff is awesome man. Dude I swear, every time I work on a bike of mine and start painting something I've removed it gives me the same satisfied feeling that I used to feel so often composing music & producing. It's so great breaking everything apart and having your way with it as an artist and then once it's done you can stand back....look and listen to the creation like, "Yeah I did That!" ....idk
Nicely done Sir, you're a very patient person and thorough work always pays off. Whoever wins this Moto will be very appreciative of your efforts and attention to detail. I'm diggin' it! Cheerz!
WOW, someone actually getting his hands dirty and doing cool work. All I see is couch potatos disrespecting him. 😔 Keep up the fun, build cool shit, ignore the trolls. 🤘
I personally take the screws out before painting. I do not like the looks of screws painted to the parts and also if you have to take them out ever in the future you ruin the whole paint! Same goes for all the places the parts join. I either paint them seperately or mask the joining line off. Only exeption is the cylinder head.
I hope to see an in depth tuning video when you get to that point. I tried diligently to run pods on my 78 cb750 and no matter what jets I tried it would not tune. Finally went back to the stock air box and she runs like a dream!! Looking awesome so far. Can’t wait for the next installment. 🤘🏻
Top job mate. The heat here in Australia at the moment is making it hard to work on the bikes through the day, so always good watching your channel whilst I wait for it to cool off.
Man I congratulate you all the work and money that you put into this bike your patience and time is much appreciated to do the effort to make somebody happy is awesome keep doing the good work much appreciated and God bless🙏✌👍🍺🍺🍺🍀🍀🍀
Nice Work ! Cant wait to see how it turns out.. I almost bought that same diamond pattern tank for my 48 tank upgrade. I do like the look of it! Keep up the good work!
Only problem I see not painting parts separately is that when you take them off, covers, cylinder heads, etc. It'll mess up the finish when the seam is broken. Maybe not. I'd like to do a black base, with red accents.
..those big kerosene or propane Jet heaters work good for that, & keep your whole Work Area warm..just push the Nozzle away while Spraying, then bring it Back..
nice job .. the progress is awsome :D .. however .. i would hate to be the next guy to take that engine apart .. will chip all over the place , then again its a Honda .. it never breaks :D
I wanna fill in the Honda stamped in the clutch engine cover, do you think Bondo would hold up if it was used. Little Bondo over the honda stamp, sanded smooth and blacked out!! the Little details !! looks amazing either way tho
Hi There, looks great but got one question which may be a little daft but I didn’t see u paint the bits that are testing on the lift, was that as easy as repositioning the engine and filling in the missed bits? Cheers
I've got a little rare 86 rebel 450 that I'm building into a hardtail bobber. I'm going to paint my motor gloss black and want the jug fin edges to be the factory aluminum color. Should I tape them off or just sand off the fins and polish?
Hey, enjoyed the vid. Restoring an old kart for my boys and was wondering how the paints held up?? Also, how big is that engine… Not incredibly familiar with bikes, but looks like it will throw you back a bit. 👍
Would you apply that same primer if you were doing a high temperature wrinkle black? or just do the prep like you did and hop straight into the wrinkle?
You made me go outside and paint my bike in the middle of the night but question. Would it be a good idea to wrap the gastank I'm going for a machine gun grey and dark night aka batman black
The primer he used is VHT engine enamel primer. Then he uses some kind of generic black heat-resistant paint, which seems wrong to me. The correct thing is to use 3-4 layers of the VHT engine enamel paint and then use VHT engine enamel clear coat. All of them heat persistent, but looks A LOT better than generic heat paint. Look up VHT engine enamel paints. They are the bench-mark for good engine paints that looks awesome.
Hey I really would like to enter the contest to win the bike but on the patreon page your address isn’t complete so I won’t be able to send anything with out the proper address could you please let me know? Thank you big fan 👍🏻👍🏻
and how did you come to that conclusion? as long as you are not going past the torque limit of the werench how would using it to undo fasteners make it go out of calibration?
It's a Bobber, who actually gives a shit if the paint chips when he has to pop a cover? Bang another coat on when it goes back together and ride for another 10 years.
He first used VHT engine enamel primer. The right thing to do it to continue with VHT engine enamel paint (black in this case), and then CHT engine enamel clear coat. I think he just used some generic black heat paint though, and it does not look as good as the enamel paints.

Wet Sanding Helps Alot Too!!! Dope Build!!
Something gratifying about watching an engine get degreased, roughed, primed and painted. My therapy today. Thanks!

I must have got lucky. I have an 80 CB750 with pods. I did lots of research and got my jetting right on the first try.
I know there’s tons of folks out there who are able to get the pods to work. I just haven’t been one of the lucky ones.
Michael Tryzbiak hey, buddy! I have an ‘81 cb750c that I want to run pods on. Could you point me in the right direction for jetting? Thanks!

MP YOU ARE A MAD MAN! Oh and you missed a spot....braaap!!
Dude I'm loving your builds. I'm wanting to attempt my own Bobber. Little 650s are all over Craigslist here. Newer Shadows but still.
looking pretty good, i like were this is going
Love your build series and this looks like it's going to be another good one!
Why are you painting and not giving us the products you used in the description? Kick your content up a notch bra!
Man I congratulate you all the work and money that you put into this bike your patience and time is much appreciated to do the effort to make somebody happy is awesome keep doing the good work much appreciated and God bless🙏✌👍🍺🍺🍺🍀🍀🍀
This is so relaxing.
Nice Work ! Cant wait to see how it turns out.. I almost bought that same diamond pattern tank for my 48 tank upgrade. I do like the look of it! Keep up the good work!
Came out looking great. Can’t wait to mine
Крутой мужик. Руки растут от куда надо. Видосы бомба. Красота 💪👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good motors the CB 650 looks great
Great video, and whole series so far! Hate having to wait for the next episode though!
6:57 Looks like my TTR125 does! haha "GREASY!"
Great look on the paint job mate :)
Looks Good, Moto!👍😃

Spray bombing an engine always ages real well.
Looking good!
You know what you are doing good job 👌🏻
Simple green and a powerwash before all that elbow grass would do wonders but looking good so far brother!
Hi great videos as always great to watch great content bike is coming on now keep them coming
LOL!!! You said " it's really cold, it's in the 50's". That's not even close to cold. Anyway, great video. I learned a lot. Thanks.
He meant it's cold for spray painting. You should ideally spray paint in around 70-75 degrees and low humidity for best results.
50 degrees is cold?! Try -20 for a week with the wind. Looking good so far
You are amazing
That looks very cool 😎
Loving that gas tank
..those big kerosene or propane Jet heaters work good for that, & keep your whole Work Area warm..just push the Nozzle away while Spraying, then bring it Back..
I could take it apart easy but putting it all back in one piece that's another story.
Love your videos man! Keep up the good work
nice job .. the progress is awsome :D .. however .. i would hate to be the next guy to take that engine apart .. will chip all over the place , then again its a Honda .. it never breaks :D
It’s purdy!
Hard work indeed
I wanna fill in the Honda stamped in the clutch engine cover, do you think Bondo would hold up if it was used. Little Bondo over the honda stamp, sanded smooth and blacked out!! the Little details !! looks amazing either way tho
Can you please provide the link of the items you bought online?
How many cans of primer and paint did you used on the engine? thanks

Nice! That engine looks awesome! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.
looks good. but will it last.

Try mineral spirits next time for cleaning.....Not as toxic!
Ever try easyoff oven cleaner non scented? Does wonders try it you will bee amazed
Nice bro
What's the paint you use and can you spray a mounted engine without damaging oil, petrol etc ? Nice btw
Were those 2 spray cans enough for the whole job?
Hey, enjoyed the vid. Restoring an old kart for my boys and was wondering how the paints held up??
Also, how big is that engine… Not incredibly familiar with bikes, but looks like it will throw you back a bit. 👍
I no longer have the bike so not sure about paint durability. It's an old school Honda CB650
What are the best durable sprays to paint engine?
What sparys did you use in this video? Could you please tell us?
VHT engine enamel is what he used, any high heat paint will do.
how does the paint hold???
Why didn’t he sand down the primer?? Thanks? ...?
In the first good 👍 job sir
Ótimo trabalho muito bom
What la pera seat is that? I like it can we get a bit more info on it? Name or part#
Would you apply that same primer if you were doing a high temperature wrinkle black? or just do the prep like you did and hop straight into the wrinkle?
Same question. Did you ever figure it out?
@@nathanielselvidge4157 Never figured it out for sure. Read some forums and it was like 50/50 but nothing for certain
@@slottedpig2253 well how well has it held up man?
Awesome is it heat Registence
Safe than GAS, and less dangerous is restaurant HOOD CLEANER/Degreaser but wear gloves.
Looks ace_
You made me go outside and paint my bike in the middle of the night but question. Would it be a good idea to wrap the gastank I'm going for a machine gun grey and dark night aka batman black
Bro need sponsor for my go pro hero 5 adapter huhuhu
Is the black a high heat paint?
yes
looks good. but aren't the jugs powder coated? and you cant paint powder coat? Also how many cans did it take to do the job?
"Made in Japan" ❤
Where'd u get that gas tank from?? Lov it...nice build 👍👍👍
Silver or black which one is better to spray with
Nice its give me some idea
Shhhweeet!
how much orange peel did you have?
I've found that the best method when cleaning parts with gasoline, is with a match🤔🤔😂
hi, how many cans did it take please? Also do you need/use a clearcoat? great vid :)
anyone else notice he looks like johnny knoxville?
The diamond pattern tank is cool, where did you get that from
12:43 nice garage doors they want to be painted too? :D
its a garage
Was just gonna ask, “Are ya wearin a mask?”. Was worried for a sec. lols
Hi. I would like to know if the paint still O.K. after you started de engine.
That paint is made for high temperature and cures at high temps.
where did you get that tank?
You sure its ok to paint the cooling fins?
Yes it is.
can i use perma blue instead of paint on the engine?
How many coats did you do and did you put and clear on
parts about 1500 and bike 500-2000 max cost all 4000 $ no more
Hey mate where do you get your fuel tanks from
Be very still..... there's a spider on your chin
What paint did u use to prime and paint it
The primer he used is VHT engine enamel primer.
Then he uses some kind of generic black heat-resistant paint, which seems wrong to me.
The correct thing is to use 3-4 layers of the VHT engine enamel paint and then use VHT engine enamel clear coat. All of them heat persistent, but looks A LOT better than generic heat paint. Look up VHT engine enamel paints. They are the bench-mark for good engine paints that looks awesome.
Whats the sizes of the wheels you're using in this vid?..
Where can I buy the same paint set???
Χαραλαμπος Κολιος ebay
what size bars did you use?
They are 7/8" diameter and about 8" tall
Thanks ! I’m working on a similar Honda so this video series is perfect. Thank for doing this!

Am i the only who sees Johnny Knoxville?
It's David Cross
@@marigoldmechanic Yeah i know, but look again. I cant help but seeing a less worn down Knoxville!
what primer did you use?
what is the name of helmet ?
Wonder if he knows that using a torque wrench to undo fasteners brings the wrench out of calibration?
I wonder if he cares? used mien like that still works fine after many years
and how did you come to that conclusion? as long as you are not going past the torque limit of the werench how would using it to undo fasteners make it go out of calibration?
Is he really painting a fully assembled engine? smh!!!
It's a Bobber, who actually gives a shit if the paint chips when he has to pop a cover? Bang another coat on when it goes back together and ride for another 10 years.
Spark plugs and all
Is that special paint ? Won't it peel off with heat?
Yeah its Engine Paint / High Temp Paint
He first used VHT engine enamel primer. The right thing to do it to continue with VHT engine enamel paint (black in this case), and then CHT engine enamel clear coat. I think he just used some generic black heat paint though, and it does not look as good as the enamel paints.
