Hey Guys, As you have probably noticed already i have updated the channel name and logo. The channel is no longer Really Random Channel it is now RRC Restoration. Just incase you were wondering why the water marks in the video still say Really Random Channel. Enjoy.
good to see someone doing a factory fresh resto of the best field bike EVER, makes a change from all the pitbike engined ""customs"" that folk seem to be knockin up.
Another awesome episode! It's amazing how you make 30 mins seem like 5! Best way to spend 30 mins though! Thanks for allowing us to be your guest and share in the experience. I'm wheelie excited for the next episode!
I am fond of your attention to the interior of the frame. That is a great deal to keep the rust away and to make the restoration is what it is... You did very good with the frame.
Oh, I remember these! My mate had one in college, but his was blue and white if I remember. Loads of fun! He got four of us on there one day and as he pulled off we all went flying! The bike was on top of him and the exhaust was burning his leg but we were laughing so hard we couldn't pick the bike up off him. The more he was shouting to help him the weaker with laughter we got! Sounds bad but he was fine, that day was hilarious!
When you have been working on your own motorcycle; That is when you know how much work this actually is compared to how much work it looks in the video.
Hey, Thanks for your comment and its very true, the video doesnt even come close to showing all of the time and processes involved in restoring something from the ground up.
Wow!! I have to wonder just how many of these have you repaired or restored....😮😮😮 Your expertise as you disassemble and repair,just shows years of experience!! That is going to be the sexiest moped ever!!😁😁😁
This video reminds me of a project I took on that had a life of its own. In 1990 rented a House with a girlfriend at age 23, the house had a detached garage, an empty space that held an old 1978 Honda 750. The owner of the house said the engine on the bike was locked up and if I hauled it off I could keep whatever scrap money I got out of it. After looking the bike over I decided to see what was wrong with the engine, before I scraped the bike. One of the cylinders was scored up badly enough to seize the engine, so I took the engine out of the frame and took it to a buddy who loved such projects. He agreed to get my junk engine running again but it would be months before it was ready. The owner of the bike signed over the title of the bike to me so I began working on all the other issues the bike had in my spare time. The brakes had to be rebuilt, the seat was a rats nest, it needed the wiring gone through, both tires were flat and dry rotted.. the bike had sat from 1980, 10 years of dust and neglect. So I cleaned and replaced and repaired and such, even polished and repaired things along the way. A visit to a local junk yard netted me a few things I wanted, like different handle bars, a fender that I could paint ( the original was solid chrome... yech) I ordered a new seat cover from a Honda dealership, and my mom fitted it over some new foam padding for me. Finally after 8 months my friend dropped the engine off at my house. It was reinstalled in the frame. It was now a few CC’s bigger than 750cc’s, we guessed it was around 806cc’s, a minor improvement. I bought two new tires and had them mounted, and the bike was ready to ride. I had spent approximately 400$ I had a great bike, that looked somewhat new, it had loads of power, and I was happy with it. I traded that bike to a guy who had an old Harley in baskets in his basement a year later. And so began the next project.
Hey, Thanks for the comments. If it was the original paint i would have been tempted to do a sympathetic restoration and keep the original paint, its hard to show on camera but the bike is not in its original paint it has been badly painted by brush and is covered in rust under the surface so leaving the old paint is simply a no go.
Awesome work man. I can see why it took a hot second to upload the next video. No pressure to get them out fast- quality over quantity. I can see your dedication to bring this Honda back to life and it is seen throughout the little details you put into it. Keep it up!
Hey, Thank you for your kind comment and understanding. It really does take a long time to work a full time job and restore a bike not to mention filming it and editing it but its all worth it when you get to see the fruits of your labor and get to chat with you guys about the work being done. :)
When I do projects like that I have to take pictures of everything when I take it apart. Memory is not what it used to be. You do a really good job with your projects. Takes lots of patience.
I'll subscribe only under the condition that you only restore extra cool shit like this. Also bonus points gol throwing us a curveball & doing a classic electronic.
I can't want wait for part three. I saw the 1part prouvilsy you do good work. I'm currently working on a Honda trail ct70 have fun and keep up the good work.
I think I would have took it somewhere and paid to have it bead blasted. Pitted areas always seem to show up as later problems - in my experience anyway. However I've had pretty reliable results with liquid rust treatments ( not the cheap ones ) on big stuff like farm equipment, etc. Very nice job and well done.
Great job on the whole project, but im very happy to see you took it down to bare metal! Im always disappointed when someone doesnt do a "full resto" & they just paint over the existing, or dont even repaint sonething they just wash it even though it really should have had a full resto done. Taken down to bare metal. Again very well done.
When finished, this will be 10x better than from the factory! Are you also going through the engine and completely restoring that? Glad I found your channel! You have inspired me to SLOW DOWN on many of my projects and take the extra time to do a job more thoroughly, thus, MORE BETTER! :-)
I will be going through every part of the bike restoring,replacing and refinishing as necessary ;). The engine will be getting a thorough going over but i wont be splitting the gearbox apart as its in perfect condition. Im glad i could inspire you with your own projects :)
You are amazing , what a perfect work , your attention to details and keeping everything organized and clean making all the difference , buy what is that is minute 9 , is it painting or sanding ?
I’m impressed I have one as well that’s onmy to do list for a restoration I actually liked your frame look in bare metal although your complete process does turn it into a nicer looking finished product and I like the idea of converting the rust and sealing it like you did mine will be similar as I plan on doing new Black paint on the frame and I’m hoping to do a buff on the engine to give it that chrome like contrast as I did on another Black Honda I owned btw my Old Honda 90 is a 1964 S90 model
I'm new to your channel and I love it! Is that your shop, garage, basement, or workplace? It's WAY TOO CLEAN!!! Lol! Where do you keep all your tools, pieces, and parts?!!! I don't see any shelves, cabinets, toolboxes, nothing! Keep up the good work, bro!
Hi and a very warm welcome to the Really Random Channel :). Its a purpose built room where i do all my filming and painting, Just outside the room is my main workshop where i keep all of my tools,equipment bikes and cars. Hope this answers your question :)
I might have went against the grain a bit and,perhaps went with a Spanish Gold basecoat and then maybe 3-5 coats of candy apple or candy brandywine,then wet it down good with a coat of clear or two. Great job thus far though. Can't wait for the next video.
Hey, Thanks for the comment and suggestion. Usually im the first to change the colour of somthing but for this project im going for a factory restoration so none of my usual funky colours will be appearing in this series im afraid.
Really Random Channel Killer Job. Gorgeous. And a pleasure to see unfold. I had another thought and it was not the basis for my comment, please ride it.
Great job here! After the hydrate 80 is cured, is it raised compared to the bare metal? I would have thought you could see brush strokes? Or do you just use a etch primer straight over it without doing any more to it?
Hi, Yes you are correct the hydrate 80 does sit proud of the surface by a few microns but as the product is designed to be used in conjunction with other refinishing products the step between metal and hydrate 80 is never an issue.
High quality video. Great effort and hard work. All that for a "duck" as we call them in Greece. They are pretty iconic. Although I like the shape of the 12v one better than this, because of the seamless tank. My fathers C50 just rots (started on the rear mudguard) but it's still riding. I hope I can restore it some day, thanks for the insight in the process :)
I've watch a video in which the mechanic applied the paint stripper and then covered the whole thing with a plastic bag or similar (one made with inmune materials to the paint stripper) so the fummes produced by the reaction could rise and go down again, so the process of stripping was more effective. Have you tried it?
1972,,,I bought C50 for first new bike in my life.she brought me to colledge,flate,coffee shope, I started my new life with that ,i was 18 old become long time ago

Hey,Thanks for your comment. Im glad your liking it :)
Your attention to detail is amazing. This bike will come out better than the day it left the assembly line. Thanks.
Hey, Thanks for your kind comment. Lets hope so :)
This restoration will go down in history!!
And here we have a man who knows the value of PROPER preparation. Respect.
Hey, Thanks for the kind comment. A professional job is always found in the prep work ;)
Man...you BY FAR are the BEST DIY guy on TH-cam, period! You deserve a Trophee!

Thank you very much :)
Appreciate your workspace being kept so clean the whole time!!
Hey, Thanks for the comment. I like to keep the place tidy then im not losing small screws and tripping over things all day haha
Very very good video! Your camera shots and editing is really entertaining. Your videos are getting better and better. Good job man
Hey, Thanks very much i try my best :)
For such a small bike, there's so many parts, top job
Oh, I remember these! My mate had one in college, but his was blue and white if I remember. Loads of fun! He got four of us on there one day and as he pulled off we all went flying! The bike was on top of him and the exhaust was burning his leg but we were laughing so hard we couldn't pick the bike up off him. The more he was shouting to help him the weaker with laughter we got!

Hey, Thank you very much for sharing your memories with the channel :)

Im glad you enjoyed it. Part 3 on its way soon :)
You are gonna be 90 years old by the time its done!

Very satisfying to watch this. Gives me some motivation to finish restoring my '72 Honda Mini Trail 70.
Good luck with your own project :)

Hey, Thanks for sharing your story with the channel its great hearing about other peoples biking stories :)
I would have done the lazy man''s restoration. I'd have simply polished and waxed the original paint. Kudos to you for doing the extra work.
Leaving the paint original is way better, it's way more nostalgic.
this will give it longer immunity from rust
Hey, Thanks for the comments. If it was the original paint i would have been tempted to do a sympathetic restoration and keep the original paint, its hard to show on camera but the bike is not in its original paint it has been badly painted by brush and is covered in rust under the surface so leaving the old paint is simply a no go.
yeah after grinding, the level of rust was bad for the frame
Great job! This is going to be a real beauty when you're done!!!
Thank you very much! :)
They normally rot across the rear mudguard and that is a part of the structure. This one is in great condition.
Hey, Nice to see you commenting again :) . Yeah thats why i snapped it up you dont see many as solid as this these days.... well in the uk anyway haha
Great video, coming along nicely I can’t wait to see part 3
Thank you very much :) Part 3 will be along shortly ;)
I admired your work. If there are people like you in the Philippines I can ask for work with confidence.
Awesome work man. I can see why it took a hot second to upload the next video. No pressure to get them out fast- quality over quantity. I can see your dedication to bring this Honda back to life and it is seen throughout the little details you put into it. Keep it up!

Bugger this is a serious restoration .

Sweet dude its coming together nicely
Thank you :)
Really nice video. The overall quality has been improving really fast. Congrats.
The style of video reminds me of DiResta
Hey, Thanks for your kind comment :)

However I've had pretty reliable results with liquid rust treatments ( not the cheap ones ) on big stuff like farm equipment, etc. Very nice job and well done.
10:05 looks like that’s been painted with a brush.
Very thorough job as usual.
Hey, Thanks for the comment. The surface your seeing at 10:05 is the dry surface of the hydrate 80 before flatting it down and applying primer.
amazing restoration
Thank you :)
Wow, very nice job !
Thank you :)
Excelente video bro, tengo una c70 y sigo tus pasos para restaurarla, gracias.
Saludos desde Arauca en Colombia!!

Im always disappointed when someone doesnt do a "full resto" & they just paint over the existing, or dont even repaint sonething they just wash it even though it really should have had a full resto done.

Great job! I love it.
Thank you :)
Huge kudos on the paint stripping, that really is a horrible job.
Looking good!
Hey,Thanks for the comment. Yeah its a messy job but its gotta be done.
nice video !! so satifying to watch !!
Glad you liked it :)
Well done, great work
Thank you very much :)
Great job as usual.
Thank you very much :)
Nice work
A question the purple can spray is for the plastic primer?
I wish i had super speed like you guys
I'm new to your channel and I love it! Is that your shop, garage, basement, or workplace? It's WAY TOO CLEAN!!! Lol! Where do you keep all your tools, pieces, and parts?!!! I don't see any shelves, cabinets, toolboxes, nothing! Keep up the good work, bro!

A sea of Red. Lookin good.
Thanks buddy ;)
I might have went against the grain a bit and,perhaps went with a Spanish Gold basecoat and then maybe 3-5 coats of candy apple or candy brandywine,then wet it down good with a coat of clear or two. Great job thus far though. Can't wait for the next video.

Quality job well done, what colour red you use
Just randomly found your channel. Really interesting
Hey,Thanks for your comment. I hope you enjoy the channel :)
Great job here! After the hydrate 80 is cured, is it raised compared to the bare metal? I would have thought you could see brush strokes? Or do you just use a etch primer straight over it without doing any more to it?
Hi, Yes you are correct the hydrate 80 does sit proud of the surface by a few microns but as the product is designed to be used in conjunction with other refinishing products the step between metal and hydrate 80 is never an issue.
I am currently restoring my Dad's old Honda S90 - curious why you didn't use the paint removing gel on the fuel tank like you did on the frame?
Yep looking good roll on for the next one
Awesome, wish I could do stuff like that but I can't weld yet. I do everything else though.
I wonder how are you able to do all of this without radio (or music) in the background. I would have gone mad! :) Fantastic channel!
Haha yeah i wonder that myself sometimes. Glad you enjoy the channel :)
High quality video. Great effort and hard work. All that for a "duck" as we call them in Greece. They are pretty iconic. Although I like the shape of the 12v one better than this, because of the seamless tank. My fathers C50 just rots (started on the rear mudguard) but it's still riding. I hope I can restore it some day, thanks for the insight in the process :)
I've watch a video in which the mechanic applied the paint stripper and then covered the whole thing with a plastic bag or similar (one made with inmune materials to the paint stripper) so the fummes produced by the reaction could rise and go down again, so the process of stripping was more effective. Have you tried it?
BTW I found really really funny the Brush Cam Activated.
Hey, I haven't tried it but i will be sure to give it a go on a future project thanks for the tip. :)
Makes the stripper more effective
@@benjaminsword9907 umm i think i did something wrong...
I've put bag over my stripper and now she fall down and won't move
18:27 But that worked though 😁
Btw, the sandblasting part is so satisfying. 👍
