Having fun restoring old bikes and vehicles - hopefully making them better along the way - doesn't always happen. Hope you'll join me on the journey!
Lowrider bike - what part is this?
Been a while, but hopefully this walkthrough, as I strip down and rebuild one of my bikes helps you identify parts you may need. Also the tools required to work on the 8 Ball Lowriders!

Foo fighters Taylor Hawkins Tribute - Everlong
มุมมอง 151ปีที่แล้ว
Filmed live at Wembley Stadium London UK. Was a great tribute to Taylor, never seen so many grown men cry, when Dave Grohl cried - I was one of them! This video does no justice to being there, but hopefully gives some idea. Miss you Taylor - along with the rest of the world.
New Project just in!
มุมมอง 99ปีที่แล้ว
Been a while, but back. Two apologies to make - one the time since last video, but was involved in a car accident - two didnt realise the mic had damage, I've done the best with editing to compensate. But didnt know until after id recorded everything. New one has arrived for next video!!
Lets get this bike built!
มุมมอง 3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Its been 12 months in the making, so time to get it done. All parts are in, zero space in the workshop (so plenty of videos/content to come), so we'll work around all the other stuff! Comment below if you can guess the artist and song this bike features in??
Beetle - Engine upgrade??
มุมมอง 1812 ปีที่แล้ว
Decided to have a look at the engine that used to be in the 56 oval, but had locked up (water down the carbs). Put a mix of stuff in the cylinders to free it up. Figured lets do a basic overhaul of it and get it ready to go back in - this episode - stripdown

Winter Project - The big reveal - but what is it?
มุมมอง 812 ปีที่แล้ว
New project has arrived for the winter, can you guess whats under the covers be fore they are removed? What do you think - got potential?
Time to upgrade the workshop!
มุมมอง 562 ปีที่แล้ว
Been a while, but been busy, first on the list was to get the floor sorted, so many parts dropped and lost, plus rolling around on dusty concrete is no fun. New project has arrived, so that'll be coming soon guys!!!
Lowrider - what wheels do I have??
มุมมอง 1.8K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Had a few viewers ask about different wheel sizes on Lowrider bikes, so put this short video together - hope it answers more questions than it raises! Happy to create some short videos if you have specific questions.
Big build - Part 2 - plus whats up next
มุมมอง 1932 ปีที่แล้ว
Been a while, so done a bit of work on the big build, but also been lining up the next project while waiting on the last few parts. Hope you enjoy. Please comment and let me know what you'd like to see me do on the channel more bike builds, lowrider instructional videos, car projects - after all, doing this for you guys! thanks for the continued support.
Lowrider bike - stripdown - what tools?
มุมมอง 7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
So finally started the big build tribute bike, thought I would go through how the bikes are put together and what tools you need to take one apart. Hope its useful and this is the start of the best build yet!
Lowrider Chopper - Big Build - Literally!
มุมมอง 1.1K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Bit of something different, still 8 Ball Lowrider, but a bit rarer than the standard ones. Hope you enjoy and apologies to the fashion police for the footwear - Crocs and socks - I'm hanging my head in shame!
Next project - Teaser
มุมมอง 1813 ปีที่แล้ว
So got the work done on this frame, so can start building. You've not seen me work or build one of these yet, so will be a great little project. Hopefully you'll subscribe (if you have'nt already) to see the build!
Hedge Find Chopper - Finally Done!
มุมมอง 2.5K3 ปีที่แล้ว
With the weather warming up, finally managed to get some clear coat on the frame without it going weird. So now time to build it up and get it back to its owner! hopefully you enjoy the end result?
Will it run after 5 years parked up? Lets see!

Fitting a Diesel Heater - Time to warm up the Workshop
Great video! Exactly, what I needed to know .
Fun project and good breakdown vid.
great job
great ob on chopper
Merci beaucoup !
Those wheels look like a nightmare to fix. Soooo many spokes.
Bravo
Thanks
Take the stickers off!
Can you do mine
What type of bolt did use for the antenna?
I just put it on the rear axle, then add another axle nut or slightly thinner nut with same thread after I have set the back wheel up. Hope this helps
@@TheRestorationShackdid you put a washer as well?
My lowrider bike is almost done i still need steering wheel and chain guard and benders front and back and led lights and horn siren and mirrors on the side of my handlebars. Im gonna add more to the bike
Can honestly say i had one in 1973 , at the time i hated it because all my mates had choppers and it was just a cheap ugly alternative at the time. HOWEVER , id love to own one now and not a chopper , its so cool !!!
Im getting mine finished to cruise its gonna look 187 kos homie gold and chrome G once its finished i already have my forks and my sissybar and hand grips i waitin on my handlebars and my steering wheel front and back benders mirrors and i was thinking of getting sirens for my lowrider bike that would be krazy at least everyone will come eyeballing my ride and take picture's of it me sitting on it and maybe a woman standin next to me in a bikini😂😂i hope its Jenny69 hell yeah i will not have 400pnd torta and lady stinks near my ride hell no👎
appreciate the great video & info
OMG. Had one, myself, just like this, circa 1970, I believe. Don't remember the MK1 or MK2 designations, but it was black and orange, and the one in the video certainly looks like the exact same thing. I'm from the U.S., and remember it being something of a novelty, and not held in the same status as Schwinn. Traded it in on a 'ten-speed', when I got old enough (and long enough legs) to ride a 26" frame. Certainly had no idea that those Choppers would become 'collectable'. Sort of makes you wonder what else the parents decided to get rid of - G.I. Joes, Creepy Crawler makers, and sadly, many of the original 45 and LP records from the late sixties (even some imports) and the portable hi-fi we used to play them on. Ah well, still have the memories, and now we have the internet to re-live it. LOL.
Any chance you could give me the dimensions of the red plastic gear know thingy. Looking for £30 on eBay for two bits of plastic that I could fabricate if t had measurements. Just picked up a mk2 in same condition as yours.
very helpful, thank you.
Hi mate that is a mk2 crossover and is quite a rare bike 🚲 I'm just referbing one now on my channel and do believe your friend should have let you go further with it as it looks like a rusty wreck. At least give the frame a tcut to bring out more colour before the clear coat and done a bit of work on the mudguards and breaks to make them a bit shiny. To me the whole thing is a pointless exercise as it pretty much looks the same as when you started but each to their own. Cheers 🍻
Hi, I agree with you on what stage it should or could have gone, as it was not mine, I carried out the owners wishes. He has it on display and wanted it "rideable" of sorts, but wanted it preserved as he found it, as it was in his uncles hedge - after he had left it 30 - 40 years previous. It is more a sentimental piece than anything, so preserving it sort of as is, preserves the story too.

Where did you get that rim kit from
Hi, I had stripped the wheels down previously, so they were not a kit, but an actual wheel originally. The guy had intended to hold plate everything, but he decided not to
I have a question, I have this lowrider trike and the back two tires are slanted and rub against the bar. How do I fix it
Decent rider, serviced resto.. thanks for the vid..
would you recomend steel whool?
With so much technology they should manufacture those bicycles again, greetings
Ian brown
WD40 the best 😊
haha alll these years, I had no idea, always ASSumed!
Hardly restored its a rusty pig !
It’s done as the owner wanted - he wanted it rusty but rideable 👍
Donde podemos conseguir piezas de estilo low rider?
Muy lento ?
Is this George Harrison's red Mercedes?!
Looks like converting it into a multi speed is out of the question
Luv your work thank you ❤
I had a Cross 70 when I was a child it was slightly different the tyres are the correct. The gear shift was 3 speed with a shifter similar to the Riley Cooper. With a Tbar design. The seat was white with 2 or 3 red stripes, there was a matching backrest that could be adjusted up & down. The back support bar is original it was chrome.
Start with the sprocket and crank... Then rear end,then seat and get the entire rear end completely done ✅ then start on the front end with the front tire,fender and all that already completely built onto the forks..... Then connect it to the frame and then add the handle bars with all the mirrors and fun stuff already on....... 3 steps to the finale assembly. Done 👍😊👍
Youve put your cables on wrong yah clown 😂
Care to give a clown more info?
@@TheRestorationShack look at other peoples bikes gear cable should be on inside of frame your front brake cable holder nut and bolt is wrong way round nut should be on back of caliper
Theres a locating lump on that wedge for steering you never located it in this video
Would love to see part 2…the bike looking like new again !!!
I did another couple of videos on this. Didn’t take it back to perfect. Just cleaned and serviced most things. I was unable to find the 3 speed shifter, so decided to make it rideable for the next guy. Think they have kept as is and simply ride it for fun.
Had mobo cross brand new in 1972..friggin loved it..orange & beautiful…sissy bar was chrome with back pad..gear shift was not indexed..had a wooden MB knob
i need these wheels (20) and tyres please pimp my ride
sup man where you buy wheels and tyres
Amazone, gringo Sometimes on markedplace if your lucky.
I had one of those from new. The seat was white and had three orange stripes that ran down the full length of the seat. Fab to see!
Thank you!!!!! Excellent video answered all my questions
You'll be getting through a set of brake blocks per ride with the state of them rims
Yeah, totally agree. Its back with its owner on display, think its more memories than rideable he wanted.
I’m learning about theses heaters But I don’t work much in winter in shop and use propane heater and it’s plenty
Bravo, utilissimo, proprio stamattina ho messo in moto la mia SLK versione Evo del 2002, e salito al posto di guida qualcosa mi toccava sulla testa, alzo lo sguardo e vedo il rivestimento distaccato su tutto il tettino, mi è preso il panico. Il lavoro è un po scomodo ma abbastanza semplice, io volevo provare ad incollarlo, perchè se ne prendo uno usato avrà gli stessi anni di quello da sostituire, e prima o poi ricapita la stessa cosa anche su quello. Lo hai incollato poi il tuo? Hai fatto un video?
Salve, ne ho acquistato uno usato in buone condizioni. Può essere incollato, ma la spugna sul rivestimento della testata di solito si sbriciola, quindi non si ottiene una buona finitura. dovresti togliere completamente la tavola e rivestirla di nuovo. molto più lavoro, ma potrebbe essere fatto. buona fortuna e felice che il video sia stato utile.
Mine was slightly different as had derailleur gears with a shifter on cross bar and a back pad on the Combe hoop
Yes, this one should have had the same, but it’s was rare to find the bike, finding replacement parts was impossible at the time. Glad you enjoyed it and it fought back some good memories
Love the video, this is the 1st time I have seen a Mobo cross since I was a kid 50 years ago. Started to think I had imagined having one. Mine had a white saddle with orange stripes Thanks for the memory’s
How do i get a kit
