    I'm 99% SURE that I'm the ONLY here that can say that I've owned (thank you, Dad...R.I.P.) both the Z50 and the CT70 as brand new bikes. Fun fact, I still have my 1981 CT70 that he bought new for me at the age of 12. I'm 51 now, and in the slowwwww process of a full restoration. It is 98% rust free as it was kept inside a storage room with HVAC for 24 years before I brought it to my garage 6 years ago. Frame has been professionally repainted Ferrari (literally, using their paint codes) red. "Tahitian Red," from Honda, wasn't red enough for me, so I've gone full custom. Great videos guys.... very fun to watch!

    I've been watching you guys for a couple years now restore sevral projects,and I always wanted to restore something like yall did.Well my grandma is moving into a new house,and me and my mom are moving into her old house and taking over the payment. She's had this exact same honda mini trail stuffed deep in her shed for as long as I've been alive and I've always wanted to fix it,well I'm almost 16 now,and I asked her if the bike could stay with the house and I could fix it up.and she told me yes,its the exact same bike tires are flat and dry rotted for sitting for so long its been sitting basically since the 70's.and I cant tell if the original paint is brown or not because of all the rust.but I am so lucky that yall fixed the same exact bike up,I cant wait to get to working on it! Edit:also if you guys see this the bike has no compression on the Kickstart, annything I should try to fix it,or what it may be?

      Sam Ganos if you’re referring to the Honda Monkey, they have a 125cc engine from factory, 12” wheels, and are twice the size of a Z50. Sure, they look super similar but the Monkey is way bigger. The Z50s were never street legal, the Honda Monkey is. Two completely different motorcycles.

    Just a small suggestion for cleaning the tanks, add white vinegar. Just pour in a couple cups when adding the nuts/bolts. Also helps when dumping after cleaning as there is no dust to worry about inhaling.

    In Britain we used to call them Monkey Bikes and there was no Haynes Manual for them so you had to follow Honda Cub diagrams and descriptions for accuracy but those that were issued on British Roads were of 70cc capacity and these centrifugal clutch engines were often replaced with 50cc equivalent builds.I also remember the handlebars on the designs for British version always had play in them because of the rubber washers underneath the stem clamps.

    For the tank get some "red-kote" tank sealer, you can put a piece of tape over the holes and fill the tank with the sealer, it works great and is fairly cheap, I. Had to coat the tank on my ysr50 with it because it had holes in the bottom and it works great, red kote is what most radiator shops and gas tank repair shops use to reseal tanks.

    My first bike. 1971 Honda Mini-Trail (gold, because the chicks liked that color), I was 5. I still have the scar on my leg from that muffler guard, it has the imprint of the guard.

      I was sure when you first showed them off there were some good looking parts.
      You "could" take the top part of 2 rims and weld them together.

    For the fuel tank, there are liquid rosin kits that get poured inside and swirled around to coat everything. They work pretty good from the reports my mechanics gave in Afghanistan.

    I had a 76 yellow growing up and have been searching for it for years! Cant remember what we ever did with it. It was a shriners parade bike and had road type tires and shriner emblems on the front and back fenders . I slap myself everyday for not keeping it. I'm 40 now and was 17 then. Living in Winston salem NC . ID LOVE TO HAVE IT BACK UGH.

    I just pulled yesterday (Friday east coast) a 1997 from a shop that’s been sitting for a snap on rep that sold it to them 10 years ago… it turned over and stated in the first kick. Long story short that bike has been through a lot more than we all even know
