Fun watching you guys build stuff. When you put those larger forks on the 50’s I’ve found you need to slide the forks up in the triple clamps 2-3” to get the front end back down. Otherwise it’ll be choppered out and ride rear heavy. You can slide them up until they almost hit the handlebars or until the edge of the flat portion of the forks (before the taper).
Totally agree. I hope Paul reads your comment. That will strengthen that area too.
I 100% agree. Been there done that. Also going to want to change the oil in the engine and the forks. The oil China puts in them is junk
Totally was thinking the same thing. That head tube angle is pretty wild to look at when the rear suspension is compressed.
This or something is cracked
That's Fab Rat's way of upgrading a boy toy & child development, that little bike will be a ripper for Graden I wanna see Paul, Ben, Landon & Jace rip it too, great video thank's for sharing God bless ❤😉👍
Makes me miss working with my dad. Love what u do with your kids
Thanks Guys
Good upgrade. Should last for a while.
Drop those front forks up that triple clamp about 2" or so
Paul I love how you guys take the time to fix things instead of leaving them in the trash. This is a perfect example of a little time and you can save things instead of just throwing them away
We need to see these videos when riding the bikes 😅
I really like this change of content. Awesome little project and inspiring to see a repair ´n upgrade, instead of buy buy buy.
Paul, I think that you are one of the best shade tree engineers West of the Mississippi River. The Utah STE's can really dream up some devices.
Nice job Paul. First one here. Saw that notification pop up. So far no one else comments yet.
I have some doubts on the shock travel.. looking like the hard bumps might just do you in Paul. Be fine for the kids tho
@5:59... Paul, don't do that! (I was too late!) 😲😲
Welcome to the club. Any idee how much c clips got lost while adjusting the needle height? Like counting: one, two much.
Keep the strips
This was much like "restoring" a car by jacking up the ashtray and replacing everything around it 😅
Definitely didn’t get that shock up high enough, it’s almost completely maxxed while your sitting on it, starting the shock higher with more angle would have put the bike in less of a low rider bike if so. Check out how pitbikes are setup for the rear shock, either the shock is too short for the build or it’s just set too far down. It’s gonna do nothing but cruise at that angle, if you wheelie it be careful of breaking the front forks from the extreme front rake angle
Lol I don't believe I just witnesssed that ! lol
Magnet might find that pin clip…
👍👊
LANDO..may the 4th be with you😅
I personally do not think it will be called a dirt bike or a motorcycle. It will be called the pain cycle.
I would RIDICULOUSLY long forks on it and turn it into a chopper 😂
Safety glasses please you only get 2 good eyes no replacements
Why buy a crf110 when you can build a crf125 custom
Shoutout to everyone that makes these videos so great! Love the Cox family + the others !
Great watching a project with the boys. Nothing better then a dad that knows how to engage the kids with their stuff sometimes.
well engage 1 kid anyways.
Regarding the GoPro sound issues: do you guys regularly format the SD cards from the camera itself? For some reason this is kind of a requirement for GoPro's or else they tend to get corrupted files. I format mine almost every time I go out shooting and I have never had an issue since. When I first got my GoPro I was having issues with videos having no sound or glitchy video. Formatting my SD card on a regular basis completely solved my issues. Just make sure you do it from the camera not on a computer! For some reason it really does matter.
Good luck guys. LOVE your videos!
Paul you need to get yourself a magnetic floor sweeper! Brilliant for those tiny get aways that seam to teleport from one spot to another.
some of them parts are brass and aluminum but over all the floor sweeper would be a good idea
As many times as things go missing a sifting screen seems like a legitimate project. A magnetic component seems totally legit as well. Lets see what they come up with. Your suggestion is of significant directional value.
I've found shining a flashlight horizontally along the floor will show shadows of everything lying on the floor. Then you only need to look for the shadow.
Yeah, stainless ain't getting picked up by no magnet either.
@@sausages6135 There are over 50 types of stainless steel and more than half of those are magnetic. So, the probability of a stainless steel part being recovered using a magnet are better than 50/50.
You should see if Harbor Freight will send you a 1000lb Dirt Bike Stand (sku 67151). It would probably hold up whatever dirt bike didn't have a kickstand and Dar could prop his feet on it for naps!
Those little Hondas are usually worth about as much as when they were new. They don’t get worn out except for swingarm bushings. They get outgrown and sold. Too bad you didn’t perform all that on a cheap Chinese clone instead.
Did you see the big hole in the bottom of the engine? Nothing wrong with upgrading a bike you found in the dump and made to where your son could ride it till he outgrew it.
It's just a bike.
@@JMC9837 That bike is always worth at least $800-1000. Yeah I saw the repaired engine case.
@MrTonyharrell oh wow 800 bucks you say 🤯
Every kid needs a father like you so they can tell their friends "My Dad built this for me". Telling them that shows great pride in their dad!!
I've wanted to build a small cr50 pitbike for awhile now. People want retail for 20 year old bikes in my area.
Cool. Congrats on the games. REALLY looking forward to the official release. You did FabRats proud and made it home safe!!!
Pretty awesome build Paul,the money saved and the satisfaction of being able to do it for your family is priceless!
It’s amazing the things people throw away
I use to make good money on push mowers people tossed out I would collect all the push mowers on trash days and fix them up and toss them in my font yard with a 50 buck price tag and people would buy them up like crazy and I would make good money off of them
@@79tazman I can definitely believe that. I made money by fixing my friends vehicles while in high school. Only certain friends got it done for free 😂
I buy tools and parts at the scrap yards. It's rather amazing and amusing there, too.
Abortion is people throwing away new life
I used to drive a frontloader at a transfer station.
It was truly sickening.
Man what a cliff hanger! I can't believe you didn't fire this thing up and test ride it in this video! You got me all excited and left me hanging 😂
Paul… I can’t even keep my lawn and garden equipment running and you make, build, fabricate, vehicles from the parts out on the back 40 and the landfill. You’re an inspiration.
Good morning everybody and thumbs UP to Fab Rats! 👍🐀🐀🐀👀
Sweetie you did good! YAY!!!
@@JanelleVocate-Ames HEY! Good morning Janelle! 👋
Congrats on your Wrecker Games!! Got a sneak peak from a few other folks, but still looking forward to the official release from all the participants!! Another great day in the shop working with your boys on another little project. BTW, do they use much of their skillz they have learned by observation off camera? We see them occasionally using a few different little things here and there, but would really enjoy seeing them wrench a bit more on their own as well when able. As always, thanks to the entire FabRats team for keeping this channel going!
D Staff. You took the words right outta my mouth... 👍
Yeah I was hoping this was one of the wrecker games but no put this bs on
Yeah, after watching the rat rod and the heavy wrecker being build I’m dying to watch the competition .
It's worth the wait for the videos from the wrecker games, it was awesome. Out of respect for this family I'll keep my mouf shut 🤣
Where's the wrecker games video!?!?
Paul is about 150lbs over the max for that shock
When are you going to start working on Mommas Jeepster?
Michelle,
Bikes and beards had some kind of bubble motorcycle , it was hilarious. I think it was an edit but their faces didn’t let on. A ton of comments came in too. Will you please pull some shananigans like that sometime?
Title “ I Bought the MOST Expensive V Twin Motorcycle on Amazon”
Thank you, Kenny
💯🤔 strap it to your vehicle when you go 4-wheeling in case of emergencies😜🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Come on Paul, plz use safety glasses while using lathe and grinding brother ! Be safe today, be here tomorrow....
I can't wait to see it rip around.
I'm from Michigan you guys give me so many good idea's.
I was a tool and die machinist for 25 years and can't wait to start working on my yj. Thank you for be awesome people..
Love ya guys..

For some reason I don't like to Hunter call PAUL instead of dad. I know he is not hes real dad but sometimes I look like Hunter is an outsider and no much love there just respect. This happened in divorce families. We will great if they see also some hugs and love between father and sons., It kind of sad in some point. America is not family oriented anymore and for viewers is important the content in all matters. I Hope we see more Love between the family not only builds.
You might want to choke the forks up more in the triples to get the bike more level under load since it seems like the forks are a lot taller.
I seen 2 Lincoln (SA 200 possible) welders in your scrap yard. Would you sell them?
Those forks are way too long so be careful. You'll snap the head tube off the frame because of the slack angle. Ask me how I know.
If Dirt bike fab would get Paul’s bike done. He wouldn’t need to ride a mini bike ! 😂😂
thats amazing , that dont fit i will cut it off and make one out of a peice of pipe on the leathe , it will work just fine , absalutely amazing bodging .
It's all fun and games until someone loses a retainer clip. Have a better week and God bless amen.
Contact DJI and get them to send you some cameras that will blow the go pros out of the water.
Awesome father & son project Paul , Thxs for sharing 💛
Sounds like you guys should look into DJI action 3 camera ?
Hay Paul I’m in Australia and was wondering do you have a link to the 125 engine I’ve been trying to find on for my son’s bike and there are just so many different ones and I can’t choose which one will fit but that’s the same bike so I no it fits
Would be very appreciated
the clip is under the fridge it's always the fridge
The far corner of the back...
Time spent with your dad/kids is precious. Teaching them valuable trades they'll be able to use all of their lives is priceless. Memories are made of this. Great parents and great kids. ❤️Stay safe and GOD bless
Back in the early 70’s I had a Honda mini trail 50 i abused till the gearbox blew so my older brother “aquired” a Kawasaki 175 dirt bike motor and we made a suicide machine that would wheel stand without popping the clutch! Top speed was about 60 mph because the front tire would float at that speed! We still have the bike but it needs brakes.
I wanted a 50 around 1975 when the Honda Odyssey came to Colorado
But I never got into motoring
Great to watch y’all work together on this bike. Time to let the boys take more of an active role and guide them in their own decisions.
The thumbnail had me thinking it was a full sized bike 😂
Your fab skills always impress me Paul!
Can we stop with the same song in all your videos? Not a fan of music in the videos but you always play that some tune. Please
That's why there is a volume/mute button
I can smell the China from here 😂
Love your content. High point of any day.
Hello Fab Rats,
It never gets old and always fun to watching you have fun or work, and that is a perfect place!
Hope you, your family, friends, and youtubers are well and enjoying life!
Take care, be safe, and peace out!!
You really are a craftsman Paul. Your kids will be craftsman also (including Gracie I hope).
YAY!
Bout time for your boys to start their own channel
That's a nice basic Fab Rat fabrication!
Its awesome watching you guys build that thing together 😁 making me look forward to my soon growing up! P.s. a good shock will make that thing MUCH more rideable
What a fantastic build!! MASTER MECHANIC 👨🔧 PAUL!!!! This is 1 more reason that I subscribed, To this channel!!!!
Buenos días
Vayan con dios
After many episodes, finally figured out who Paul sounds like.
Dana Carvey.....doing George Bush Senior on SNL!
"Nuh guh duh Paul". Nuh guh duh.
Wouldn't be prudent.
This is one I really don't get. You replaced everything but a small part of the frame (that you modified). You already have a bike and I am sure it would have been cheaper to buy a 125 than to make one. Not to mention the time it took.
Another great father/son bonding moment. Absolutely priceless.
Great little project with your sons. Grady’s gonna love it. Hope you found that little part so he can ride it soon. 🌺
Those little 'clips' are @ 1/2" with a slot for the cable to slip in,and they are like missing socks when you lose your hold.Grader probably found it with the magnet.If not,then a hacksaw cut in a washer is the fix.
go pros have been failing a lot of people, I never liked mine, it would ovr heat as soon as I walked outside..Get rid of them, higher end phones have great cameras with fantastic zoom or try different action cams
There’s about a zero chance someone would throw away a nearly $1,200-1,700 Honda CRF50F pit bike.
Trash to treasure dirt bike build-off with @DIRTBIKEFAB would be cool. I think it needs a 500! Lol.
On this episode of Iron County Choppers, no one feigns anger.
We need a video drop of the wrecker games!!! Please
Just an FYI fir those playing at home, that adjustment in the shock doesn't change the spring rate. It changes the preload. So, springs have a rate. Say 10kg/mm. So 10kg compresses 1mm, 20kg compresses 2mm, 100kg 10mm, etc. If you add preload, you're taking up the initial compression. So if you add 5mm compression that means for 50kg you'll get 0 compression then 60kg you'll get 1mm. So it's exactly the same. Until you put less than your preloaded weight on the bike. So a 20kg rider. They'll get 0 spring rate until 50kg them 10kg/mm spring rate, which can feel horrible mid corner when your springs go from full hard to soft.
You are "Fairly Close" to that "Bluddy" Technical Edge. (Apologies to all of the folks Watching, from the Other Side of the Atlantic Ocean.)
Oh NOOooooo...you lost the Jesus clip?!?!?!?
well.....that's why they're named "Jesus clip" :)
Pretty cool upgrade. My kid has a crf70 that he’s outgrown. FYI you should get a cr85 shock as that china shock is non nitrogen, the “reservoir” is literally a fake cast part that you can just cut off 😂
Hey Paul.
Just drop your forks in the triple clamps.
You’ll drop the front end about 2 inches.
The front won’t be sooo racked out.
Genuinely, Jim
Man. I wanna live in Utah. Washington doesn’t allow people to take anything out of the dump. Closest I’ve been able to take out of the dump was a 2 stroke 80cc Honda motor. Needs rebuilt which is the plan
Notif gang here😂
@Fab Rats I'd love to hear your review on those Hercules impacts, seen you using them quite a bit. Hercules vs Milwaukee? Id imagine with Milwaukee, if something fails you'll have a easier time with replacement and battery platforms staying the same. I've been looking at the Hercules because of the price, but worried about longevity. Love the video!
Some folks just don't know how to fix anything.........then there's guys like Paul & Ben, who can fix EVERYthing! Well done!
This cool bike looks awesome 👌
Paul, you have yourself a pit bike sir. I still have two of these Honda CRF50s and each one has been converted to an 88cc big boar kit. Never mind I thought you said at first you were building this for you Paul.
Wow you you must have a different type of a garbage dump then we have here cuz that thing would never make it to the dump everything makes it to a motorcycle scrap yard or worst case scenario scrapped into a million pieces and part it out
So do you think the guys who watch Dirt Bike Fab and Robbies channel need therapy after they watch you build stuff? :)
I love what you're doing and it always works so keep it up!!
Awsome build Paul.....she's coming along great....thanks for sharing this with us
I can’t figure out why, when you have a motorcycle that is too small, that you would start a rebuild with the same frame. Every old town has motorcycles everywhere rusting away. $25 would probably get you something the right size with a couple of larger wheels. Will the second half answer this question? Back to the video…
Paul, have no problem with you repairing stuff you find, however it's time you fixed that wife of yours jeepster don't you think. Just saying
I have a shed full of crf50 stuff I've been collecting for years we're really into these and building them there used to be tons of company's making high quality parts for these and frame kits and stuff. You can still get engine parts and stuff my latest builds are a couple matching billetware framed bikes with 124cc dohc kitaco motors with takegawa 4 speeds and takegawa manual clutches.
