One wheel and no steering! Assembling the rear end of our Honda Trail 70 | Redline Update #96

- The Trail 70 is ticking along and every day it's looking more and more like the mighty mini-bike it is. This week we hit unicycle level on the road back to a fully-fledged motorcycle as we reassemble the rear end. Davin swears he could ride this half bike as it sits, but we're not too sure though.

I love the way the bike is designed mechanically, so beautiful to restore, no plastics, thought through very well.
I still have my 1970 CT70. Saved up paper route money to buy it new. It still runs and I still ride as a pit bike. It survived in our processing due to mom keeping it, so 20 years ago when my daughter wanted to rid it, I spruced it up and she rode it a few years. Love the series. Amazing, when you say go out and get you work done, I go out and do something on my motorcycle or cars.
Looks great! 👍🏻
It always amazes me that a restoration final assembly takes way more time than the original assembly. Those bikes were never assembled with the care Davin is taking.
D
Can't wait for the " redline " video of this one !
I remember restoring my CA77 dream. Fixing the rust holes under the air box was a easy fix. Lacing the wheels was a learning experience. All in all when you look at your finished work it deserves another look.
Great video, I paint silver under the old motorbike fenders too, finishes them off.
Love watching you work. Competent confidence, underlined by beautiful photography and editing.
Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking!
Bought my first honda mini trail 70 in 1969 had so much fun with it brings back memories great job.
Man is that ever coming together nicely! Very clean build 😍🔥… and as always, your camera work and production of videos continues to impress as well… great work to all of you at Hagerty 👍
Gonna be exciting to see it all back together
BEAUTIFUL WORK upside in your work
What a great build.
Looking like the day it was brand new , back half anyways. 😎👍🇨🇦
The most meticulous restoration! When I was a kid I had a toy Trail 70 in that exact color. Always wanted one of the actual bikes. This series makes me feel like I am getting one, in some odd way.
Beautiful job as always Davin [ and the crew ;) ]
James May would be proud.
Great job , reminds me that my vacation is starting soon and i have 4 bikes to restore, a 1983 Honda CM450E, a 1982 Honda CM450C, a 1986 Honda CMX 450 Rebel, and a 2005 Suzuki GS500F.
"Relative to" = 1 in this video. Looks great!
Better than new!
Great episode!!! Love assemblies!
And now boys and girls it's time to add some Takegawa or Kitaco! 👌🔥
Thé final assembly as shown is a true masterpiece! A keeper.
Looking pretty sweet
I love these monkey bikes. They are very popular here in Finland. When i was 15 i had a 50cc monkey that went 40 mph because 40 is the highest speed a moped is allowed to go before its considered to be a light motorcycle. It never had any issues even though i basically rode it full throttle every time and it didnt have a rev limiter so it rev'd so high that the valves couldnt keep up. Monkey bikes are also very easy to modify some people even have 190cc daytona engines in their mopeds. I didnt want massive tickets so i just changed the main jet from a #60 to a #74 and put a free flow airfilter.
I treat the underside of my fenders too, but instead of paint I use rubberized undercoating.
Looking good. Those gas lines are a pain, what you did works good, but then you got to figure out which one is reserve.
The chain looks two tight!!! Nice videos!!!
He's too used to timing chains haha
@@MbanziSD Good answer!!
Nice work.
Beautifully done !!!!
I'm reporting you to the fun police! You're having way too much fun doing this!
can't wait for the end result
Good to see nothing dampen Davin’s spirits.
It is looking sweet. A friend had one that I got to ride. I remember putting a Dimes worth of gas in it and went all day. Fun times.
A-A-Ron Colton has one of the best ct70 resto-mod
Every kid's dream.
It will look amazing when it is all together!! :)
I had a 70s st 90 when I was a kid
Beautiful 👍 😍
great protect
It is a beauty !!!!!!
You should buy a metallizer and spray a galvalume surface on inside of the fenders, that surface would still be there when the fender had long rusted away.
My friend had a CT-70 that he ended up just leaving in his barn since the gears stripped. After seeing this I want to go get it from him and restore it. I think it was a built in 1994.
I’m restoring an old crashed Suzuki for my son at the moment. When I started I didn’t appreciate how mentally therapeutic the whole process would be during various COVID lockdowns etc. Go get that bike dude! 😊
This is LIT 🔥🔥🔥woooohhhh!!!!
If anyone thought they'd see a Honda Trail 70 that looks this nice 50 years after production raise your hand.
To me she is a work of art
When I do Moto restorations I always put the nuts of axles and swingarm pivots opposite of the side stand. This way at rest you can visually inspect the presents and condition of those nuts. (Nuts Up)
I love watching ur videos keep up
Those were so cool, when new. I had a...sigh... smaller Mini Trail 50.
I'm waiting to see if you found a decal for the Text & Striping. Still remember being on a road, wound out about 25, with a car right behind me, thinking how I would turn off without losing it in the gravel.
Mine had the centrifugal clutch...a standard clutch would have been better.
"That's shocking it fits" joke puts a "damper" on the whole video. ;). Elegant efficient design this little bike and very satisfying to see the restoration. Name it "butterscotch"
I think you’re having way too much fun on this
He has it all lookin’ killer !
By now…I’d have lost most of the parts amongst the pile of Budweiser cans strewn about !
My father bought one of these new , i think it was 1973 . In Australia they where called the Honda Dax trail 70 .
Sweet!!! 👏🏻
I should wrap my Lexus LS460 L in that color
Wonderful
This is going to look better than new. Concours condition maybe? lol
I just saw the tarus SHO episode and think you guys should do one of the Pontiac Bonneville SSEi, the GM version of the redefining sedan of the 00s
Last time this bike looked that good was on the assembly line.
Interesting video, relative to the bike
Are we going to get to see Davin riding this little beast when it is done, or is he going to have to call in one of the kids?
@6:05 I'm curious why you used a torque wrench to tighten the castle nut, when you don't have the chain installed. It seems like a waste of energy to have to loosen that castle nut, to tension the chain; just leave it mostly tight, so things don't move.
I dunno about him but I work on things that fly and I have a rule: Things are either on or off, never in between.
Thanks for the warning, I was able to brace for groaning! 🤣
Deberian hacer un solo video resumido de este proyecto (Honda Trail 70)... please
Love that color, is it a Honda color? What's the name
Topaz Orange
Why wouldn't you use a stone shied type product inside the fender instead of Rust-Oeum?
Another fine video,shocking too say ..lol.another 1/2 too go..lol..😎😎
Slow that F/F a little please like to see him work 👍😎
Don’t pull too much the chain. Just put some play
What would be the cost to have all of these parts chromed?
I had a Honda 70 when I was a kid, but mine didn't look like this. 😀
Is that rear wheel tensioner bolt for the chain bent?
👍👍👍
Parts and labor cost for that project ??
😎👍
Clasic ngab
Ooooo shiny
Davin's episodes need to be longer - and where's Tom these days?
Tom and Barn Find Hunter will be back in a few weeks!
It’s gunna be a concourse trail bike lol
What happen to Barn find Hunter?????
Un crack 😏
Gas? Petrol is a liquid. 😉
Ослабь цепь..
that chain is too tight. a bit loose will be okay.
Shish
So sad, I wait for months for the Assembly of the bike and it's all done in two-and-a-half minutes what's up with that?.? Video length of 8-1/2 minutes.? You guys use dial-up to to upload or why such short EPISODEs .? Not enough of us that refuse to belong to The Short Attention SPAN CLUB.? Argh..
