It is amazing in old machines that everything is removable and repairable. Compare that with todays non repairable stuff and throwaway culture. Thanks for the video!!
When it is manufactured in ways to cut costs down, they are not repairable as easily. Having multiple parts adds to manufacturing processes that are more elaborate & the mindset has shifted to forget about longevity, lets just make sure it lasts a few weeks/months. Who cares when it is years old. It is also the same with how content is consumed, not many want to watch 2 hour movies, prefer 2 mins 20 secs i.e. 140 secs, large screen has given way to small screen etc.. ah the societies we are living in..
You'll find that this is common when it comes to industrial equipment and high quality stuff. You can usually find parts and replacements for industrial stuff 50 or 75 years later and the standards are usually the same. You can get stuff around the house that is the same, but it will cost you many times more than the residential grade stuff. For instance, you can buy water faucets and door knobs that the manufacturers still use the same parts from 50 to 75 years ago. But a faucet will cost you $1000 and a door knob from Cal-Royal will cost you $500. If you look at the industrial quality machines in like a kitchen that prepares food for mass sales, you will find the equipment can easily last 100 years with only minor repairs. Back some 125 years ago, they invented the machines to make paper clips for the entire USA. It sounds silly for such a small thing, but there are only like 2 manufacturers in the entire USA that make paper clips. They have been using the same machines 24/7 that were invented back 125 years ago. When one of them breaks down, they don't buy a new one, because they basically don't exist. They repair the old ones with replicable parts and then it cranks out another billion paperclips in a year.

I have watched countless videos on restorations from clocks, to cars to furniture and everything in-between, but you Sir rate amongst the top three of all time in my books. A true Master Craftsman, regardless of what you repair...............
It's the small things that do it. Like when you turn the knob so the letters were vertical. I can control my OCD but it's nice when I don't have to. 😁 Fantastic job as always, really looking forward to the next one. Cheers 🍻👍
I heard you say "Light Restoration" and the first thing I thought was "Aye Right". At least it was only dry flatting this time. Brilliant work as usual, looking forward to the CR.
I own one of these sellarc grease guns. I find it great for greasing pto shafts on tractors and machinery. Just not good for larger capacity,jobs as they take forever to fill a larger void!
Great work as always! I recently finished a 14 month restoration of a 1992 Ford Mustang 5.0 and I can confirm that paint stripper is indeed super lethal and toxic. I could never apply the stuff without a respirator on! I also ride a couple of Hondas so I am looking forward to the new project. Cheers from the USA. 👍
Am I the only one who goes directly at the end of the video to see next project?😜of course I see the video after that. Really looking forward to see next restoration project .. I love two strokes!
Can’t wait to see the Honda restoration! My late father had one for many years except his was yellow. It unfortunately sat in our shed for about 10 years until we sold it back in 2014. Awesome job on that pump btw!
Awesome restoration and many THANKS !!! you made my day and week-end, I had a 250CR of 1985, I am so happy, can't wait to see you restoring that fantastic bike, it's Christmas for me, Thank you !
Another great restoration, and as usual it was told expertly with good camera work and thoughtful editing. Really puts us in the room with you. Thanks for leaving the wobbly paint can in! 👍🇦🇺
It is so satisfying to see something old transformed to its original perfect glory 👏👏👏👏👏 done by R.R.C good work brother . Watching all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
How sweet! 1986 CR250! Gonna enjoy this one🥰 Oh wait, I enjoy all your restoration projects but... Being a life long moto guy, I am even more interested in this particular specimen. Let's go!
Wow Brother that turned out absolutely fantastic, it looks to good to use now. I'm looking forward to the next video. Cheers from the east coast of Australia N.S.W 🇦🇺 🤠🤝
Just found your channel and I’m so impressed by the quality of your restorations! I’ll no doubt spend the next few hours watching your videos! Cheers! 🏴
Great video I really enjoy all your uploads but these side projects really do show how things are built to last and now it’s built to break so we have to buy another. I literally shouted “YES!” When I see that awesome CR revealed, I had a 1990 cr250 an awesome bike and would like a 450F one day I literally can’t wait to see this one being transformed.
Not just lethal , but super lethal! Looking forward to the big project, I have something similar but only 1 year old. Oh, and lovely wobble on that spray can @8:04
I got a milwaukee 1/4 electric ratchet you can have to restore and use around the shop. You would need to get a battery and charger but i do know it works.
Yes I know the thumbnail and title are a bit click baity and I apologize ,but I'm running a little experiment just now, please bear with me ;)

A light restoration please!
“At RRC we don’t do light”
😂 Brilliant job as always
Haha its so true, i just get carried away lol
@@RRCRestoration What would you have done differently if it wasn't a lite restoration?

Customer: “I’d like just a light restore”
RRC: “I’m sorry I’m not familiar with that term, please explain”
hahahaaha
Loving these old school Restorations but I can't wait to see that new toy done! Takes me back to the 80s when I was a wee boy!
Same here, cant wait to get it looking factory fresh again :)
I got to admit I skipped to see the reveal, but now I'm going back to watch the rest of it. Looking forward to those future episodes!
That's why you should join patreon😜
Couldn't agree more Nick ;) lol
I hope you enjoy it my friend :)
Light restoration 🤣🤣🤣, you just increased the value of it by 1000%💪👍👏🇨🇦🇨🇦
Oooohhhh can’t wait for the next restoration!!!

I want one. Nothing like old school tools that have a heart and soul.
The best part of it all is that it actually has a gun holster. Neat.
Watching you pour the old grease out gave me a helluva craving for a piece'n'golden syrup.
Great video.
haha love it! I've never tried a piece with golden syrup but I'm going to now.
Awesome restoration and many THANKS !!! you made my day and week-end, I had a 250CR of 1985, I am so happy, can't wait to see you restoring that fantastic bike, it's Christmas for me, Thank you !
Very good work. Professional and practiced. No wasted motion. Even this "light" restoration makes the bottle look new!
Thank you very much! :)
UUUUUUUUU nice, exacly what I was waiting for an old 2 strokes. For me the best bike project so far
Glad you like it! Im really looking forward to this one :)
No such thing as "light restoration" on this channel!!!! Looking forward to the CR restoration!!!
Top job as per usual!!
Another great restoration, and as usual it was told expertly with good camera work and thoughtful editing. Really puts us in the room with you. Thanks for leaving the wobbly paint can in! 👍🇦🇺
Finally gratifying to see someone with the brains to clean the item BEFORE working on it! Other restoration You Tubers...take note! :)
The wobbling can stopped logo out. Nice!
Another successful and amazing job...
Another awesome restore..... congratulations my friend
Nice restoration on the grease unit. Looking forward to the 2 Stroke beast restoration 👍
Excellent restoration, can’t wait to see you work in the dirt bike.
Great resto looks brand new again can't wait for the crosser big thumbs up
Have had mine for about 40 yrs. Use it regularly but for oil, not grease.
Very cool project 👍 looks like new again. Enjoyed watching. You did an amazing job.
Thank you very much! :)
Finally, someone serious about getting the gunge off. None of this dishsoap and nail brush nonsense. Break out the power washer!
It is so satisfying to see something old transformed to its original perfect glory 👏👏👏👏👏 done by R.R.C good work brother . Watching all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
Great video. the level of competence is high and the attention to details is great. Photography and video editing are fantastic. pleasure to watch.

Ты приходил смотрел маленькие проекты и большие проекты))
Brilliant.Another beautiful job,as always.

As with everything you do that grease pump is yet another work of art, really looking forward to seeing the bike, can’t wait 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cant wait for the dirt bike build! Looking forward to it
Watched all that which was awesome. I was pretty disappointed to not see it work and how it works.
How sweet! 1986 CR250! Gonna enjoy this one🥰 Oh wait, I enjoy all your restoration projects but... Being a life long moto guy, I am even more interested in this particular specimen. Let's go!
Beautiful detailed work. Very impressed with the quality of the outcome
Once again, fantastic work my friend!! looking forward to the Honda next!
Stunning work. Looking forward to seeing your magic on another motorcycle. You are building a fantastic collection.
One grease gun wearing a stunning Ducati Red. Love it! And looking forward to the next big project series!
I'd love to see my Aprilia Pegaso 650 1995 restored to its former glory by you!!!
The only thing I was sad to see not done was the gauge face repainted other than that. Fantastic job 👍
Wow Brother that turned out absolutely fantastic, it looks to good to use now. I'm looking forward to the next video. Cheers from the east coast of Australia N.S.W 🇦🇺 🤠🤝
Another great restoration. Looking forward to watching the new project 👍
Brilliant restoration looks brand new cannot wait to see your next project the beast 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, Its defo going to be fun :)
Damn that honda so clean already sick find! Great job on the grease tanker
If that’s a “lightly restored” item, I’d hate to see a fully restored one.😁
Amazing work mate. You’re a perfectionist. You made my day.
Great job mate, can’t wait to see you get to work on the bike.
Another awesome project! Can’t wait to see the start of the new project…❤️🙂
ВАУ Honda CR 500 !!! Сюрприз получился !!! Как всегда лайк !!!

Fuck yes! so excited to see the 85/86 CR250R restoration. I just finished my nut and bolt restoration on my 1987 CR125R

I can see so much potential in the motorcycle 🙏 I am excited!!
Nice job, looking forward to the Bike in the next one.

Great choice for the new project 👌🏼🤙🏼
Thank you :)
Please tell me you are going to keep it and use it. Awesome job.
A cool Mini series would to buy a set of old snap on wrenches and restore them.
