- The bike is 99% done now. I am going to order a new crimping tool and go over all of the wires again to make sure they're done properly. I need to find a few more bits but It's just so close now.

Tbh I love that Elliot and retro future isn’t just some channel only trying to bank on the most views and stuff, but a channel of a guy just showing off some passions of his and doing it with a witty personality. I like it lol
I do miss the main channel videos though
Yet he click baits for views so this comment doesn't work 🤡
@@coreyleighmilner-013 ok buddy
Your C90 and Vince's Rolls Royce are coming along very nicely. I have enjoyed watching you cover installing all the parts and your passion to preserve it as original as possible.
Vince needs another project now
Can’t wait till it runs down the road. Looks amazing!
It made me chuckle when Elliott spent ages enthusing about a bolt......that didn't fit 😂
Im a postie from australia. So I spend everyday riding a bike very similar to the one your restoring. We used to ride a honda ct110. A few years ago they upgraded us to a honda super cub. Fuel injection and a few other fancy bits a pieces. Good on ya elliot. I hope this bike brings u heaps of happiness
As much as I love the classic postie bike, I'm envious of those new Kyburz DXP trikes you guys have now.
Keeping my fingers crossed for more go pro bike trips around the town and down to the beach
I'm gearing up to do some heavy modifications on my vehicle, and have been enjoying some of the restoration series on YT. Your Honda, My Mechanics' Datsun, BOM's Project Binky.
The cost of those oem parts you should invest in some locktite/permabond use blue for parts that require servicing and red on parts that aren't going to ever be removed. The bike is looking beautiful.
The progress is amazing
Good video! I do really miss you on the retrofuture though!
Old style flasher relays depend on the resistance of the globe to work properly. If you can't get the original globes, compare the resistance of the old and the new, and put a resistor either in series or in parallel with the globe, to increase or decrease resistance as appropriate.
Otherwise, newer LED flasher relays are a bit more advanced, and have a little timer circuit inside them. They'll probably handle the current draw of the incandescent globes, but they won't come in the same package. If you went that route, you might have to gut one of the broken relays, and use its housing for the contents of an LED flasher relay.
Elliot, I had the those exact leg shields for my build and they are shockingly bad, unusable in my opinion. I can see just by looking at your bike you are going to have the same problems I had with them. Honda ones are not available so I have started to refurbish the originals. Like you I have sought out many NOS parts and it does make a difference. Well done in getting her to this stage, look forward to seeing the progress
45 minutes?! 🍿
If I see this beauty of a bike, I'm reminded on the anime series "Super Cub" (On Crunchyroll) which made me very interested in these bikes ❤️
Glad it’s all coming together! It’s a shame the bike had been stolen in the first place but I’ve been enjoying the restoration videos. Keep up the great work Elliot! :)
Edit: that capybara part killed me :) OoHhMm NoHmN NoHm!
Elliot you inspired me to make a TH-cam channel (around watches) and it is really sucessful. We share so many similar hobbys and I would love to collab or meet you one day. I deffinately owe you a beer.
Are you using a JIS screwdriver? Just mentioning in case you aren't, cause you will strip screws
I'm not into this but I like watching him use his gaming screwdriver on the bike...What am I saying I'm just looking for something gaming 🙏🏼ok now I'm keen to see it running 💪🏼
I don't care about bikes at all, so kudos for getting me to watch this :D
i jumped on the notification
what tools did you use ti make your wtaches? i really want to make something like that
Bolt booner time
i like people trying the best to keep something they like for themself, but it is still confusing on the why you get all out on replacing the non original bolts for a shinnier one (i get it... to have an 100% original bike but i still think is overkill) ...... aren't there any business around your area that specialise in bolts and what not than can find the closest best match for your needs? there are a few in Mexico but i don't know if its common in everywhere else
They are not called phillips screws the are jis which you also need the correct screw drivers for them
aint that a c70???? i own one
What's the difference?

The bike is looking real nice.
Those are almost certainly not Philips screws but rather JIS (Japan Industry Standard).
Using a Philips Screwdriver tends to mangle them, where as using a JIS screwdriver will feel massively better.
Anyone working on old Japanese bikes will be familiar with the mangled mess that Philips screwdrivers leave JIS screws!
The ifixit driver he’s using does have JIS bits, so was probably just a slip of the tongue to call it Philips. 🤞
@@straywasp we can but pray!
What a journey it has been. It's more than just a bike man. it's a representation that you can handle any of the total BS life throws at you. Looks stunning mate. Thanks for never giving up!
This bike ticks all the boxes ! * its retro * its lost and found (stolen rekt) * its easy to fix with bolt on parts * it's Japanese *it's parts are difficult to find but highly rewarding when found on the internet or through community . Great job Elliot ! I have never seen someone so passionate about an indicator relay or a brake light wire in my life, great to see ! It Would be awesome to see this bike at a Classic Bike show with all of its history its totally deserves it !
"...we've just done the other side, as you saw, if you were watching.."
Not me being called out for having the video on as background noise while I work rather than watching 👀
The old bog seat 90, I spent all my spare time riding these down old disused railway lines in the early 80's. You could buy one for about 20 quid and they were indestructible. This is looking like a lovely example.
This guys enthusiasm is infectious. I've enjoyed every minute of this project.
I'm glad to see him happy. It's my first day of summer, and my girlfriend of almost 8 months dumped me. I'm not doing good rn
Hey man. Sorry to hear that. I'm just some dude on TH-cam but it will get better. Keep talking. x
I recommend getting some blue locktite. You don't want them bolts to come loose.
Hi Elliot, your issue with the indicators reminded me of an issue I encountered with my mate's Yamaha Beluga CV80. The bike runs a 6V system instead of a 12V system and would do the exact same thing yours did when a new 12V bulb was installed with the light just staying on solidly. He'd bought 12v bulbs to replace the old 6V ones in preventative maintenance but we had to put the old ones back in to get it blinking. Check the printed text on the glass of the old and new bulbs and check they are the exact same. Hopefully it's a simple fix like that.
Cadsbury Fingers, what a fucking treat. Got those in Sweden as well, my mom still gets me some on my birthday.
Your bike looks absolutely gorgeous! 🤩 Keep up the great work, Elliot! 👍🏻
36:05 The reason why these Batteries need a breathing tube is because there is a chemical reaction happening on the inside causing a gas to form which needs to get out. This gas is also really bad to breath in
The gas is hydrogen, and it's vented to prevent it from building up and causing a fire. And yeah it's not good to breathe in lol
Best bet is get a sealed 6volt battery...they are maintenance free.
And no fumes.
I have them on my bikes.
Haha outside! Don't go melting anymore cartridges! Forgot that even happened.
Looking amazing brother. Wonderful job
It's been months since you haven't uploaded another Game Boy video, Elliot.
Hey if there are things you need that are chrome try looking for a shop that chromes hardware as well as bigger items. That should help you on a lot of things. Also I'd like to see if you would restore a motorcycle one day. You would be really good at it with your attention to detail.
I still can't wrap my head around why people just go out and destroy other peoples stuff..
I watch your videos because i like the way you talk man and the content is quite good too
That's the weirdest Gameboy I've ever seen, lol
Man I cannot wait to see this finished and running 😭😭😭
HONDA BULAT..
Really starting to take shape!
I have the same Honda from my Dad, but needs a clean up tho
love this build diary
Looking so nice Elliot!
whoa, long video! this is gonna be fun
Damn
What a journey Eliot @TheRetroFuture2 I didnt enjoy the start of it a few years ago but your 'We can rebuild it' adventure has been nice to accompany you on.
If you are having issues with the crimping tool try the basics. Get a klein crimper that will look like a plier. It's simple yet effective. And I've used mine for years. It does take some time to build up the skill but it's the best stripper, cutter, and crimper that you will ever need for wiring. Hope this helps for any future endeavours.
I couldn't tell if the crimp kept turning in the jaws because it was a cheap crimping tool or if Elliot was doing something wrong. I'm not the handiest person alive, but I've usually had better results than that with a ratcheting crimping tool. Took a few goes to not just squash it, but once I had the knack they came out fine.
Two more Seiko's in the collection, I finally put together my Bell & Ross "homage" to the radio compass with the crazy full dial width hands, built upon a NH34 but I didn't put the GMT hand on, in a solid high grade stainless steel square case, sapphire on top and hardlex on the back... man it looks astonishing and such a nice wear too and the case is rated 200m water resistance too. Also in a job lot that came with my Seiko Orbit I got a tidy 7S26-0060 from 2000, needed just a hair regulating and is now keeping perfect time. The modded Seiko 4R35 tuna is still going well, loving the fishbone hands and today going to lume paint the trident second hand on the prongs and the ornate arrow pointer. Just waiting now for a heavy engineers bracelet for the radio compass and I chucked a 4R35 rotor on the movement although I could have chucked on a 6R rotor but thought I was pushing me luck hehehehehe
Bike's looking great, Elliot! Couple of tips for you: don't touch the bulbs with your bare hands (oils from your skin create hotspots and premature failure) and it's always a good idea to check the gap on spark plugs before installing. Cheers!
Amazing work Elliot. You’ve learnt a lot too about reading schematics and basics of motoring.
I think you need a classic Honda car to do along with that bike 😉
Great update and cannot wait for the fully complete part
A tiny little Honda Scamp would be just what the doctor ordered, I think.
@@NoobixCube YES! They are a great car and fitting with the era too!
real
Been a fantastic journey watching you restore your bike. Can’t wait to see it fire up for the first time.
bro I literally love these videos. Honestly Im into 2 things, retro console, iphone / repair videos. and restoring old cars and getting them running again, So this is literally best of both worlds. You do it so well, and to see you LITERALLY only buying OEM parts is so amazing, honestly just watching you use those couple 'wrong' bolts was messing with me, But i know you will find them at some point and put them on. you are taking 0 easy way outs. A true restoration.
Youve put the swing arm chain protector upside down the split in plastic should be on the bottom
