I have listen to a cople but this hade the music that realy is the best i ever have herd in my ear. It is going like a CBX 6 but it only have 3. Like a DKW 3 is 6,you know what I mean. I dream too listen too. You must feel like a kink on that ingine. It rely going soo god. The best music i ever have listen on fore a 2stroke ever. I have listen to a few,but this is i rely didnt more what i say. I going too listen again.
Your attention to detail is astounding, it literally looks like a "New Bike" just on thing. Was this a US import? Because it has "High Handlebars" and ours had much flatter ones. Just a thought.
Yes it was an American bike, but I always fit the high bars when I rebuild my bikes because I think the riding position is better and more comfortable 👍
Bikes from the States were always in better condition than those from the UK. If the weather didn't rot them away, then a "A-holes" behind the handlebars did. I helped my Brother back in 1986 rebuild the top end, with a rebore, new pistons and rings. Only for him to sell some years later, to a guy who bought it from him and revved it mercilessly, and trashed the engine. It was a completely original UK bike, a bit tatty, but all there, including exhausts. And he sold it for £600. I didn't have the money back then, but if I did, I would have saved it.
Hi do you acid strip and wire wheel buff all the bolts etc before sending off for re zincing? Also do you re zinc full wheel spindles or just brighten the ends? Do the platers charge per kilo of parts?
Hi I use a solvent first to get all the grease and oil off them, I only wire wheel all the hardware to remove the old zinc and rust which takes me about 6 hours to do everything including the carb hardware. I have everything completely zinc'd both axles and swing arm bolts not just the ends ! I'm not sure how they charge to be honest
@@suzukigt750idiot thanks for the reply I'm restoring a 78 gs1000 and while it's a diff bike your videos are a great help with a lot of tips I had three kettles in my younger days last one was a 77 b sold it for £250 I could cry now at the thought lol
Hi, can you tell me what happened to the video you posted about how to fit the Accent Ignition? That was the only topic it covered. It was the shorter and second version.The one where you showed actually enlarging the fitting slots; and moving it back and forth until the red L.E.D. showed. The one that WAS completely Idiot Proof It now shows as a “Private Only” video when I try to play it. Thank you.
That is one lucky bike, saved from the grave - a truly beautiful machine, fantastic work thank you for sharing!
Thankyou
This is an incredibly perfect rebuild. Most likely better than at its first day
One of the most iconic sounds of my youth, pure knowledge, entertainment, and end product of perfection, your presentation style is spot on.

Forgive the crass comment, but a work of art. Could you tell me where you source the donor bikes from, please?
Lots of different places, people offer them to me or ebay etc
Thanks for the reply. It reminds me of the bikes I had back then. The B version is the one I like, especially the blue.
Elle est trop belle 😍💕

Does the digital gear indicator work??
Yes it does because I clean the connections in the sender unit 👍
