I think these type of deals are interesting if you can get the same bike but with the opposite issues. If you could find one with engine issues and manage to perform a transplant then you could save alot. But it's 90% timing and patience finding deals like this when they come around and have to be something which you can take an educated good chance on it.
Hi, I recently imported a race subframe from Germany for the same model bike for a friend who flipped his bike, very impressive part, total cost landed in JHB was just under R12k.
If this is the same bike i saw a black super bike go down on the R21 on the way to the airport. The bike went down and then rear ended a trucks double rear wheels. This was about November 2023.
You bought the bike Isle of Man TT racer John McGuinness famously called "A BOX FULL OF NEUTRALS". Guess we'll find out of the main frame is tweaked, and/or the engine has a problem.
Hey I wanted to say thanks for making the video about the Pandomoto Base Layer. I bought the newer AAA leggings and they changed my attitude to riding gear and I really love them.
Check, the tilt sensor may be dangling, usually it is under the headlights housing, due to the crash looks like whole headlight housing is a mess. Hence Bike is not starting. Always love your content. Can’t wait to see the whole project Come together, all the best!
at least there are no winglets. That thing costs too much for its own good, and best to be clipped like the rest of many idiotic super sport these days. Too bad I can't say for the rest. Good luck! We wish your rebuilding journey yields fruits.
awesome to see you start another rebuild. I would be scared shitless with the prospect of riding a bike that has been crashed this badly but maybe this series will convince me that it can be done. so now everyone please rewatch the episode seven times 😅best of luck on this new project, excited to see whats coming
I am really looking forward to this series of videos and can’t wait to see the finished result. Best of luck in this rebuild. The Fireblade is truly one of my dream bikes !!
Im so happy you decided to tackle another bike, the R1 was one of the best series i watched regarding bike repair. Its mainly the way you format your videos and input personal feelins, very entertaining, looking foward to next episode.
in some of the parts you can use aftermarket performance parts so that this beast doesn't just get restores but better than before e.g.-> you can change the foot pecs with racing pecs which would look amazing
my god am i excited that you have a new project. really liked your R1 videos and though i still understand jack shit about bikes, i will so enjoy these!
I've seen exactly this damage plenty before on track and on the road. He was going quick in a corner and low sided. The bike slid along the bitumen, then onto the dirt, then oggyknob dug in and flipped it over, bending the forks and breaking the subframe on the way back down as it cartwheeled.
I actually rebuilt a crashed Yamaha XJ6 for $1,500. The front was smashed, snapped forks, crushed radiator and thermo fan, and smashed fairings and bent front rim. Only cost cost me about 3,000 to repair. Still riding it today and love it. I now know my bike inside out.
I rebuilt a 390 duke earlier this year. Had to replace the main frame of it, which meant disassemble everything. Looking back it really wasnt that difficult at all. The 390 duke might be a simpler bike but I doubt it'll be too different overall to this fireblade :) u got this and good luck
wonderful for my OCD to see someone use two ramps to wheel a bike off single handed avoiding the chances of dropping the bike when you have the hight diffence jumping of the tailgate the slipping sideways of the front wheel highlighted plan as much as you like it can still go wrong in a blink of the eye luckily slip under control now imagine dealing with that slip with a single ramp
The wear on the side is pretty impressive. Looks like it had some speed while it slid. Which begs the question wether the front and read impact happened before or after sliding. If the bike slid off to somewhere the fork and frame damage could have happened afterwards. Nonetheless im intrigued to see how the steering head looks if the forks are bent that heavily
😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂 how hard can it be. Wait wait wait, aren't you the one who decided doing a motorcycle wrap ended up being a just good enough job , and got a pro involved to get it just right. Not faulting you on an attempt, love your channel, which is why I subscribe. 😊
Just a heads up… Africa Twin owner in South Africa. The OEM parts are seriously expensive and the lead times on backorders are absolutely crazy. Had to wait 9 months for a rear luggage carrier.
I have a crashed Kawasaki ZZR1100 (ZX-11), but I crashed it myself, lol. Apart from the obvious damage, the radiator sheared off it's mounting causing it to leak. I didn't know and drove without cooling 1000km in two days in hot weather. It overheated time after time and eventually it began to make a new rattling noise. I then discovered the sheared radiator, replaced it and went on the road again, with cooling liquid. Next the head gasket blew, so I had to replace that too and then the fresh oil and cooling had to be replaced. I'm still not done yet. Give yourself a pair of working gloves by the way, it's much safer. Very interesting video.
Nice project ! But if you want to make this kind of job, you'll need a proper workshop, tool set and a real bike lifting table... It could also be an cheap option to turn it into a track bike... or some kind of a street fighter, cofee racer or something not really genuinly Honda but fitting you design taste !
When a motorcycle has a major accident, as in this case, you should have the frame checked. It could be bent or even worse have micro cracks both not visible to the naked eye. If you care about your life or that of the next owner do things right pls. (Personal experience throwing my bike a month ago hahaha)
I have an SC on my r6 that has no springs, I ordered it from them directly so aside from the awful laser etching on this fireblade it could've been legit.
There are oilers for motorcycle chains like the cobrra nemo 2 that use gearbox or even chainsaw oil for lubrication. It is perfectly find and in my experienace the chains last longer. If you ride in the rain though the oil tends get flung off more than compared to grease.
I can't imagine the pain of restoring a crashed bike. My mate and I struggled to remove a bolt, on his bike that he dropped at 20km/h, for +/- 2hours 😂
That's a high speed lay down for sure, and not a run into the back of a car. If by chance it was a rear end crash first, the car would've had to have been on the highway and the bike going waaaaay faster than he should have, and more than likely laid it down before he hit the car
Oh boy... First of all mate i wish you the best of luck, you make some choices in these rebuild videos i never would and i love that. Now that said i think you may have bitten off more then you wanna be chewing here. Even if that motor turns over (fingers crossed for you bud) that kinda damage to the sub frame and swing arm AND forks puts a lot of force through the frame, even if it's not bent (big if) the metal is effected and won't have the flex and rigidity characteristics it was designed to, which will effect the handling. Breaking even on resale is a stretch, it might have a "clean" title but any one who's considering it now knows it's history. Which Btw, is probably more that one crash. Now if you made this your street bike and went full track on the R1 i could understand the reasoning, but after everything you did to make the R1 street legal i don't think thats the plan eh? But i will be here for every video!
Now thats how you continue the R1 like series
You just saved yourself with this comment here😂
Bro's gonna restore every bike he gets in discount😂
Because why tf not?😂
maybe because he has enough budget
Nothing better than a cheap bike!
😂
@@izzyshah095no, he doesn’t just have enough budget, these videos automatically refill the budget
Bro spent 11 minutes showing why it was a bad purchase, and then zoomed in on MORE damage. Subscribed.
bro about to rebuild every discontinued bike then sell it when the price skyrocketed. im here for it!!
About time someone started repairing crash damaged bikes, usually only the cars get the love
1:09 “i mean how hard could it be” famous last words😂😂
This is such a stupid idea to one up the last project and I'm all here for it🤣
As Hammond always said: "DON'T SAY THAT!!"
Can't wait for a restoration with glitter fluo-pink fairings to nicely compliment the baby blue R1! :D

I'm so glad you're doing projects like these, i wont lie, ever since the R1 project I've been itching to watch more of what you're working on.
It always makes me happy to see a bike like this repaired. well done. looking forward to the next one. cheers
Hi, I recently imported a race subframe from Germany for the same model bike for a friend who flipped his bike, very impressive part, total cost landed in JHB was just under R12k.
That's alot better than the R38k Honda wanted lol.
4:21Check those tires, previous owner could corner lekker. Good chance he went down around a corner and it slid head on to a stop.
If this is the same bike i saw a black super bike go down on the R21 on the way to the airport. The bike went down and then rear ended a trucks double rear wheels. This was about November 2023.
I mean if you look at the damage it looks like it fits
0:10 if you look closely it has been modified.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You bought the bike Isle of Man TT racer John McGuinness famously called "A BOX FULL OF NEUTRALS".
Guess we'll find out of the main frame is tweaked, and/or the engine has a problem.
Hey I wanted to say thanks for making the video about the Pandomoto Base Layer. I bought the newer AAA leggings and they changed my attitude to riding gear and I really love them.
i love rebuild videos so much, and considering how cohesive and watchable your video style is this is a godsend series
Kinda crazy that you get those features in 390 duke nowadays.

Love your channel!

That’s the plan!

I love watching rebuilding motorcycles videos it's strangely satisfying 🏍🥇
We need longer videos man please.

Wow that blue carbon wrap on R1 looks dope
Wrap ?
Thts paint 😂
Perfect projects for your channel name 👏 chaos and chaos
This seems like an awesome project and I'm already impatient for part 2.
Crazy upload timing as im looking for CBRs 😂
Always liked Honda's engine case design. Looks really good.
I've seen exactly this damage plenty before on track and on the road. He was going quick in a corner and low sided. The bike slid along the bitumen, then onto the dirt, then oggyknob dug in and flipped it over, bending the forks and breaking the subframe on the way back down as it cartwheeled.
Keep doing restorations, we love your videos

Yes! More stuff like the R1 build and this please!
like the rebuild videos
YES! MOAR REBUILDS! Loved the r1 series!!! cant wait to see how the cbr turns out! and you got the best looking model of all time imo
Those zip ties are actually an oem part :D I was surprised myself when I was working on mine which is identical
Silly Honda
I knoooow 😅 It's just for holding some of the cables ticked behind the air intake. @@ChaosCauses
You have chosen the hard way. I'm all hear for it and will watche every video of it.

We want more videos like this.... and make more projects like this... pls make a pre-owned daytona675r project too..
You´re like a glutton for punishment that I am rooting for. Fingers crossed with this latest gamble.
Damn! This should be a binge-able series. Can’t wait for the next episode.
me setting this video on loop so bro can continue this series 😍
Send the forks to MP Suspension in Cape Town. They can straighten them for you as well
Nice promising project.. keep up the good work 👏.. had similar start on wrecked CBR600RR.. ended up after 2 months selling it to another dreamer 😂..
Great idea! Hope there’s many more restorations next
Here we go again!

These videos are getting real good! Also another look at the R1 and, boy does it look fantastic! Those rims and that paint job are perfect!
What a beautiful bike rebuild series
I think this bike has a cool looking frame and would look good naked as a street fighter build
Digging the new hair cut! Oh and nice choice on the new rebuild!!
Cane Industries makes really great crash bobbins. 🔥
Love it!
Love your projects dude!
Glad to see another project! I really liked the R1 series so I look forward to this Fireblade series!

And that's how an addiction begins my friend 😂😂😂 #7🤣🤣🤣
Thank you. Now I'm looking to buy a wrecked rsv4 -.-'! Great video :)
ahh yea another restoration series, gonna be fun
Aaa a nice series coming going to get some snacks 😊 hope videos come fast😂
Looking forward to this project.
Finally! Back to the best Japanese brand 😁
Good luck!
i have a real sc on my 22 r1m, also had a real sc on my 17 r1m, and both cans are welded straight to the midpipe
I'm kinda happy that the new cbr650r looks a bit like this Blade
Nice project ! But if you want to make this kind of job, you'll need a proper workshop, tool set and a real bike lifting table...

My favorite bike. I had a cbr600rr, but had to sell it for wedding money. Just alochol for my wedding was 3 grand :(
I have an SC on my r6 that has no springs, I ordered it from them directly so aside from the awful laser etching on this fireblade it could've been legit.

Amazing series! All the best for the project. One of the dream bikes i would love to own !
Nice love the restoration video series keep it coming
Put it in second gear with the broken gear lever and then push it forward and backwards in your workshop
The original parts are expensive and if you add up, it'll be more than the bike's cost. That's some clever game from honda to gain profits.
Dude , looking forward to this build. Go for it bud.
I don't know why it's so interesting to watch 😅...just keep posting timely..
Super happy to see these types of videos continue!
I LOVE MY CBR 1000 RR
I can't imagine the pain of restoring a crashed bike. My mate and I struggled to remove a bolt, on his bike that he dropped at 20km/h, for +/- 2hours 😂

amazing idea 🎉
hello, enjoy your content, bikes are awesome.. i just need more..
Love these types of videos ❤️

Whatching from brazil!
Amazing motorcycle to rebuild 👍
