Your bike is killer. Thank you for the video. Have a great day. 🤘🏻☘️🇺🇸⚡️⚡️
Thanks, I still have it and maybe one day when I slow down I will do more stuff with it.
WOW Brian great video. I really enjoyed it. My first bike was a 1975 Honda XL 70 at age 12. I'm 50 years old now and completely rebuilt a DS80 which my wife seems to like to ride around . Great video 👍
Thanks Scott for the nice comments!!
Very nice bike, you looked so happy riding it!
Thanks! They are fun little bikes for sure!!
Like the sound it makes, sounds like a tiger!
Classic sound for sure 👍🏻
Great work
Thanks!
I imagine that bike means a lot to you nice restoration ❤😊
Thanks yes it was a fun project and a blast from the past!
Love souped vintage mini xr75s,had one back in the day. It had PK frame mono shock,ceriani forks, power roll big bore kit,eletronit ing.,bigger rims. That little bike was fast as shit and won many races around San Antonio and Austin Tx. area. Between 74-77 ,then moved up to 100 class on a Ward kitted Elisanor 125. thanks for sharing. I'm 59 years young and still have 2 old husky's, both are highly modified after all that's what motor cross racing was all about back then! Fred Hall New Caney TX.
That’s cool I had a DG monoshock YZ80 and a team mate had the XR75 mono. We didn’t have a local class for 100 minis so only saw them in magazines and far off races.
1974 XR 75 was my first motorcycle !!!! That little bike got me hooked for life. Awesome job sir....
Wasn’t my first but my first race bike!
Great video Brian !Gotta say,the quality of work is much nicer than what was coming out of the old shop that burnt to the ground!
Yea, I was working on bikes then, but had just turned 14 when it burned, so I was building XR's when I was 12. Probably more money in this one than in that whole shop too, including the trailer tire.
Sweet!
Spectacular resto mod. I just picked up a mostly oem thrashed 71Sl 70 I used to race and picked up a mostly oem 74 xr75 in very good shape..
That’s a couple of good finds! I had a SL70 before I got my first XR. That bike really got me hooked!! What do you plan to do with them?
@@BrianMcNeill25 Enjoy bringing the abused ones back to life. I have accumalated a small collection (17) of bikes that date from 1972 to 1975, mostly MX, 1 Tl 125, and 1 Mt 125.
@@scalecraft4663 That's some where between hobby and obsession!! I looked at your CR125's, they look very original in original condition! Keepers for sure! If you like my channel, subscribe and I can do the same for you!
Nice resto Brian. These little Hondas are great bikes. I am currently restoring a 1980 XR80 to showroom condition. I have polished my crankcase and valve cover to add some extra detail.
Absolutely beautiful.
I'm resto moding a xl75, you gave me alot of ideas, appreciate it. You got an awesome bike
It was a lot of fun. I'm spending more time on my big bike now, but I want to get back to doing little things to it. I have an oil cooler and 5 speed trans just waiting.
Awesome , super nice looking XR75 ! Man I remember my cousin got a new '76 XR75 and I wanted one so bad . I had to chase him around the farm on my CT70 😩 . Great job Brian 👍
Is this the Mike I know? If so, that CT70 didn’t slow you much!
@@BrianMcNeill25 hey Brian...yeah , ol' 601..…... Good to see you man. Looking good 👍 and still riding ! Be careful man , we don't bounce anymore ☹️
Yea Mike I heard about your accident after it had all happened and then a while later. I would have come up to see ya at Baptist. My eyes say yes to a lot of stuff, but my brain says no. When I see vids of me riding now I say yep that’s pretty slow lol. Hey if you watched the video all the way, I talked to Curt and Rob one day I stopped by about putting bearings in the cam tower one day. I know you guys do that on some vintage Honda heads. The bearings are easy to find, just need the experts to do it! Also are still at the shop at the end of Goodman? I thought maybe Curt was selling the building.
@@BrianMcNeill25 yeah at the end of Goodman Rd still.... 9 Goodman is address ..... Rob has done several Honda head cam bearing mods..... Send it up ! 👍
@@BrianMcNeill25 hahaha..... B4 , everybody was say " it's so cool you racing at your age ". Then when I got hurt , they were saying " haven't you learned by now??" . I still putt around. I have a drz400 I like to ride on forestry roads. No lap times , no Moto to win or lose.... Just riding my motorcycle in some dirt . Kinda like back when I was a kid getting home on the school bus , throw my books on the porch and get on my motorcycle and ride..... Because it's fun ! 👍✔️
Outstanding job! I really enjoyed your video.
Thanks I hope to work on it again soon!!
I think your first race was on a SL70. Well... the first race you signed up for. Not sure you made it through practice.
Haha you are right, I crashed several times in practice at Spring Lake MX in 1973, I guess I was 9?? First mistake, don’t take the whole family to your first race. Scared mom and dad decided something was wrong with my bike. I was a little scared too so went along with it.
Did you ever do the 5 speed gearing swap
Nope never did. One day.
She's a Beaty
Thanks Zach!
Nice video I got a 85 xr100. I need some pointers plz
Thanks what questions do you have?
@@BrianMcNeill25 thx for the response if you had to guess how many hours and how much money u think the restoration entails
@@jvandyne3124 no clue on hours. A lot of piddling and figuring out what to do. I probably blew about $3500 including the bike purchase 😮.
Nice bike. Tell hrs u have n building it. Lol
No clue how many hours, and ain’t saying how much I spent. I had to back off the nice stuff after a point. Wasn’t too bad actually, look at the Facebook link I have a bunch of pics of the build.
What year cr80 triple clamps did you use?
Pretty certain it was a 1983 CR80 triple clamp, but the 82-83 may use the same clamps, or have the same tube diameter. This list is helpful, but besides the tube diameter, you have to consider the bearing sizes too. The OEM parts sites are helpful for that. organ-donor.org/motorcycle-data/fork-tube-diameter-list/#tube31
Where was the trophy from? I raced an xr75 in 73-74 and moved to Yamaha in74. I can’t actually remember but I think I had a second yz80 and then rode a 125 Elsinore Honda for a few months before going to Yamaha for the duration.
Trophy was from chesterfield county Mx near pageland SC. Not far from your old neck of the woods. It was 8-10-1974 I think.
You still have this ?
Yepper, and looks just the same. Collects dust in the basement.
