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.

We just bought our grandsons a couple pf SSR pit bikes. One is a 110 and one is a 125. They run great and are a ton of fun! Cannot beat the value for the money.

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.
My buddy once strapped the fuel tank of his chevelle to the back wheel of his farmall M,jacked up tge rear end,put it in road gear and let it idle for two hours with rocks in the tank. Worked mint!
Love the videos! 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.
I am new to this channel and it is bringing back some great memories. In 1976 I was a sophomore in high school. In junior high. My best friend was given a Honda SL 70 along with his brother. They were neat little bikes. Had a lot of good times on those bikes.
Guys, I haven't even watched the video yet but I have to tell you the 30+ minute videos are making me super happy! I'm so excited about where you guys are taking this channel! Keep up everything you guys are doing! Definitely my favorite TH-cam channel!
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.
I use hot glue and plastic to seal the outside of the tank, then use epoxy tank coat on the inside. After a few coats inside, you can sand the plastic off the outside and paint.
Just wanted to tell you how much of an inspiration you have been for the last couple years. I am working on so much more in quarantine. Loved the vid btw
I know your pain about fixing gas tanks my 1984 dr100 had a few small holes in it. i was able to just hit it with the mig and fill the holes. took a fair bit of time and is ugly but it works and doesn't dip gas any more. Keep up the great vidoes guys
I've had great results with fiberglass resin when it comes to patching holes in fuel tanks. The last one I did, had more holes than a showerhead and it's still holding two years later.
What a transformation. Thank you for giving this beauty a life again. That new engine is insane for such a tiny bike. My younger self would have loved something like this.
@@drewtooker4243 Yeah, that would definitely be more practical and doable but I would be more interested in seeing them take on the challenge of making a mini sidecar bike that actually carries two people. Maybe even two people and cargo if that's even at all possible.
One of the things I really like about you guys is that y'all are true do it yourself guys sure you could buy all new parts to fix these projects up but y'all don't like the gas tank cleaning and finder fixing I just really respect you guys for being real
@@randombuilds8336 true. I kinda was poking at they already own the front end loader. Alternatively, making a utility kart like a Cushman wouldn't be bad either.
I currently have a 98 model great condition gonna hang on to it bought it for our oldest son when he was little still ride my grandkids on it actually just serviced it again I remember one of the neighbors sons down the road had a little yellow 76 he got it brand new in March 76 hr brought it up to our house and rode me around on it a few times I was 7 yrs old at the time I loved it that thing flew it was fast I later on as a teenager had a 1980 XR80 I love those honda 4 strokes tough little engines as long as you take good care of them.
You guys should get evapo-rust, it is really good at getting rid of rust, and you can reuse the fluid more than once. (I would recommend filtering it though)
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.

When youre doing an old rusty tank like that it works better if you use a handful or two of short drywall screws, and then put in Lacquer thinner if it's varnished up gasoline, or Vinegar if it's dry rust inside - Also- when you have rusty spots on a frame, just wire brush it and paint on some OSPHO and then paint it-
OHMIGOD! You guys actually washed a project you're going to work on! Hey, it looks a lot better and gets rid of some of those spiders at the same time. Maybe you could make a habit of it? Good shop practice.
When I repaired the fuel tank on my '79 Corolla, I used a special type of metal solder for the big holes, filed them down, submerged the tank in water to check for leaks and then used RedKote tank sealer after the inside was cleaned! It worked perfectly!
@@stittyd Yeah... No one is forcing me to go.

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.

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
When I was a kid one of my neighbors had one, and I felt vastly superior to him because I had a a Honda Trail 70. But then one Christmas he got an XR75... I would love to have any of those bikes to play around on now!
had one in 84 you can put a 70 top end port the head a little and it will fly i got mine to 59 mph on a police radar gun had to cut the handlebars and move them foward to get clearance for my knees way cool guys

Z50 was the first manual gear shift i rode and loved.
To clean the tank stuff a rag inside and blow it around with compressed air, works like a charm.
Dude that was awesome!!! I had one back in the early 80's. Great little first dirt bike!!👍👍
whats up from New Zealand, loving the content as always. totally something id do to clean the fuel tank... had me laughing pretty good when you turned the camera around and showed the rig
