Hey, A mix of places. Shire bikes for the majority with Bens Bikes for the engine top end kit! some parts are harder to get hold of and need to be ordered from places like PHAT MX or TB parts.

@@dcxplant Hey, based on research and a friend who restores these for a living, yes they are👍🏻 and if not they definitely look better painted 😀

@@MasonsWorkshop Thank you!! I have a '69 and a '78, this was great content. Thanks again.

@@dcxplant thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy it

@@kyakaruvlogs2784 5ft4 on a good day

@@MasonsWorkshop Thank you for replying. Have a good day.

@@pojoingx5201 well spotted but I think this was just down to the way it was filmed where I didn’t capture them being fitted.

@@MasonsWorkshop oh, alright. Anyway this was overall a great video thanks👍

@@JohnRoss-ps4vh That is great to hear! Glad you enjoy the content, keep at it

@@205dante Thank you for the comment, It’s been a timely process but I think it will be worth it in the end!

Sorry but the bike isn’t for sale!

@@MasonsWorkshop I can understand why! It’s perfect.

@@bobrewer202 Thank you ! It will be a beauty when its finished.

Great to hear. Looking forward to riding this one!

Thank you! Seems peoples interests have changed a lot between generations, although I’m not sure it’s for the better 😀

Hi there, I purchased the top end kit from Bens bikes UK. Link below: www.takegawauk.co.uk/product-page/kitaco-88cc-std-bore-up-type-6v I also got the kitaco clutch kit but this was from Shire bikes. and finally... I have a Kitaco exhaust as well which you will see in the next episode!

Mac Industries UK, but they are available online easily!

@@bradjenkins4319 amazing! This bike should be up and running soon so I’ll share how it performs. Best of luck

What a cool story! I wonder where that bike has ended up now. Can only hope its still being used. Thanks for watching and commenting

@@scottmcboone2442 hey there, fun project. From factory these bikes came with one regular nut on the cylinder head hence me keeping as close to factory as possible!

@@MasonsWorkshop Thanks man, again great job!

@@Dr650rob get that thing built!

@@cl5064 hi there, I am using the ‘prusa mini +’. I have a load of videos on my channel covering the machine!

@@Monkeyboy2457 I couldn’t agree more, it’s all in the detail. Thanks for notifying about the chain clip!

I am not 100 percent sure either, but I was told by a lot of people that painted was the closest to factory. from the pictures they dont look rough enough in pictures to be left raw.

@@arunbabu855 this is a street twin which only came in the 900. The speed twin is available with the 1200!

Thanks, Street twin900 seat height is 765mm and 1200 seat height is 795mm if you managed to lower the 900 seat height lower than the stock height it will be definitely easier for short height people to handle the bike ​@MasonsWorkshop

@@Dave-fr6si Hey Dave, I have a clymer manual for the Honda engine series which covers a large range of engines from this era. It details full torque specs and assembly methods which is very handy.

Hey, I am glad you found the video helpful!

Bed temp and nozzle temp is direct from the Prusa material guide. This is always my benchmark for setting up the machine. Infill I think was 10-15% but if your settings are correct I don’t see this having a huge impact on your prints! Best of luck and thanks for watching.

@@MasonsWorkshop One more thing btw, is there any tips you have to prevent stringing because that is a big problem for me when printing in tpu

Thankyou, I have only learnt this from watching others! It does make it a lot easier when you know the best way to assemble.

Thank you

I may be wrong but I think they are off a triumph scrambler.

@@MasonsWorkshop На нём размер колёс другой. Спереди 19е. И на скремблер они бескамерные, спицы по бокам покрышки установлены.

Thank you, so do I! nothing better than printing something to use.

Hi, there is no direct link to the shocks on their website. I have attached the current Hagon price list for shocks. The ones in this video are the top 2 on the list. The best way to order is to call up Hagon and give your bike details and rider weight. That way you get a set of shocks to work perfectly for you. They are super helpful ! www.hagon-shocks.co.uk/common/pdf/Nov%202022%20Hagon%20Retail%20Prices%20TwinShocks.pdf Im glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks Mason

Hi there, tried to summarise it as best as possible below: - Kitaco 88cc STD-Type 2 Bore Up Kit Z50 6v: Bens Bikes Racing (no P/N shown) - Kitaco Manual clutch conversion kit: Shire Bikes 307-1123100 - Kitaco high flow oil pump: Shire bikes 331-1013300 - OHTOKC 6V Hitachi electronic ignition unit: OHTOKC: Shipped from overseas but great parts, be sure to select the right flywheel. - Bearings: Took old P/N and purchased from Ebay -Misc.: Shire bikes as they stock all of it in the UK. Feel free to contact me if you need any more info!

Thank you ! Very happy to hear you enjoy the content.

I made the mistake of not using OEM first time round. You can use them but I do think OEM is always the best choice! ( for this engine on standard bore anyway)

@@MasonsWorkshop where did you find oem at

@@gospelmusicchannel3064 Shire bikes stock OEM pistons and rings !

Yes, I originally had this problem. I now use a separate power supply for the light which has solved the issue! Cheap and easy to install

Yes, that would be cool! As soon as my CT70 is done ill be booking in for some events.

Hi there, Yes no battery needed as there is 6v provided from the ignition to run basic system such as lights. Same function as the standard points ignition system but much improved. I would recommend it!

thank you, I will have to get these added! I did in fact miss a few other decals after having it painted!

Thank you, really glad you enjoy the content! Brilliant, I hope it comes out well.

Honda cloud silver!

Hey, they are large tacks in each side of the slot. Aim was to put minimal heat into the top plate to reduce warping. Table still being used with no issues.

Thank you ! I have to say that the fresh paint makes the biggest difference. You really forget what the original colour looks like after many years in the sun! Thanks for watching

Some factory shocks can be lowered, but to have the best ride & comfort its always best to get some tailored ones with the correct spring rate etc.

Ah okay, also 1) where did you get your lower seat & if you did it local or yourself, do you recommend any good place ? 2) how do you feel about boots to add some height

@@Allhailmateo a local company cut the foam from the seat and refitted the standard cover, it is not too complex of a job so most places should be Able to do. As for the boots, if you feel comfortable and are in full control of the bike I see no issue!

@@MasonsWorkshop how much was it ? & does this compromise seat comfort?

@@Allhailmateo I am not sure of the cost but would guess approx. £100. It does compromise seat comfort but not enough to be largely noticeable. we purchased a spare seat so still had the original option if we didn't like it.

I have not ventured into abrasive filaments where an uprated nozzle is needed. I will be digging more into ASA/ABS materials and what can be achieved with this machine using that in an upcoming video.

Hey that sounds awesome! I am really excited to get this thing finished up! I will be sharing my thoughts in a video on how it performs when done, thanks for the comment.

@MasonsWorkshop looking forward to see the progress Mason , 👏 enjoy the vids keep them coming

Many thanks! I am glad you like it

Its a down and out seat that was recovered by our local leather upholstery company. Brown leather, black diamond stitching and triumph logo embroided on the rear.

@@MasonsWorkshop thanks 👍
