Honda CT110 Makeover - Forme Industrious
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- I while back I bought this 2004 Honda CT110 "Postie Bike" (ex Australia Post mail delivery bike). These bikes are quite popular in Australia and there are several rallies that use these bikes travelling across this great land.
This was not a full restoration of the bike, rather it's a clean up and change of paint scheme to make it stand out a little. The engine has done 47000 kms and still running strong.
Parts I replaced;
Front and Back Tyres with tubes
Chain and Sprockets
Grips
Mirrors (It had none) Hand Grips
Turn Signals (It had none)
Stop Light Lens
Fork Seals and Fork Boots
Battery
I made a new seat cover because I'm too tight to buy a new one.
I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks to my Patreon Supporters who contributed, helping make these projects.
Regards
Scott

Scott: “just freshen it up a bit.” Takes it totally apart.
I had a CT 90 as a teenager back in the 1980s - at the time, being a typical teenage boy, I didn’t like the bike and wished I could have a “cooler” bike. Now I’d love to get that bike back - it was absolutely wonderful.
Outstanding freshen up. Not too much but certainly not too little. Great bike.
I just bought a 1968 CT90. Can’t wait to restore it. Great job on yours Mate… great color combination. Enjoy it, it’s more reliable than a Woman!
Great bikes! Thanks.
Scott, you are SUCH a gifted soul! Wow!!! What a master of SO many things!
Up next, "How to Turn a Cargo 747 into a Flying Home" Something tells me you could do it!
Thank you for sharing your talents!
Great film and restoration. Gorgeous. Cool paint can tip 7:49. Mahalo for sharing! : )
I was just recently watching videos of young People modifying them and Drag Racing these in Japan, amazing how quick they were.
It’s amazing how much a new paint can drastically change the quality of a project
Awesome!! Been power watching Mustie1 rustoring old bikes like this here lately. " Oh,Scott is doing a bike? This will be fun". Great job. Love it.
Great resto job.
CT110 is the best bike in the world hands down
Thank you! Yep it's been fantastic for decades.
What a magnificent job you did. The time I took watching the video was well worth it. Thank you very much.
You're very welcome!
I had the AG version of one of these in the late 90's, I miss it.
You've done the CT110 legacy proud, well done.
They are Legends these bikes. Cheers mate!
I had a 1969 Honda trail 90 when I was 12 it was great fun, you sure did a great job on yours.
Nice job Scott. Darlington, South Carolina USA
Scott, every time I see you tackle a project I think to myself "we could really use some of the Aussie grit here in the states". Love that you don't see limitations, just possibilities. Well done...expect calls from folks in your area asking you do redo theirs!
Very much appreciated Mark, thankyou!
Yeah, especially the Republicans,Trump got the gall.the Republicans need to man up.and quit being afraid they're gonna hurt people's feelings.why lose an b afraid with God on our side?
Judging by the millions of diy videos, restoration and fabrication videos from creators in the states I’d say that’s an incredibly ignorant statement concerning a lack of “grit” in the states
The yellow on that CT110 reminds me of the 1978 CT90 color. Honda has released the CT125 now. I really loved those CT90s from the 70s with the low range. In low range as long as you had traction those bikes could climb pretty much vertical. They weren't a fast bike but they were very capable.
Have fun with that CT110.
I have a 110 ag with lo range and things a tractor with that extra .5 hp
Looks great. Nicely done.
Those postie bikes always remind me of the pressed metal toys that were available early last century.
Made the same way almost.
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious I was expecting some kind of postie bike with the Forme Industrious aesthetic like carved wood and steel tubing welds but I am not disappointed at the outcome. I bet you weren’t either. Well Done on remembering where all the pieces went too, I would have no hope.
You were lucky with that central swivel bolt mate, heard the crack and thought "there it goes" but skill and good judgement prevailed. Nice work Scott. 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
2:48 Scott once again proves that every tool *is* a hammer. 🤓
Was just gonna comment on that lol - not the first time I’ve used whatever comes to hand as a hammer 😁
That is very fresh. Excellent work. Thank you for the cool video.
Great video Scott, I’ve just started a restoration of a 2093 XR 400. Your videos are inspiring. Thank you.
Love the old XR's. I had the 400 a bunch of years back. Thank you!
The bike looks excellent in yellow!
Also, it appears you are in Townsville. I have been there twice, years ago, while diving the barrier reef, and exploring Australia. Wonderful memories. Wayne
Good honest restoration…. Thanks for the video.
Great transformation mate. Wonderful job.
My mate, here in Thailand, has just bought a new one of these new. He uses it to explore and take photos and videos, he swears by it. Great video Scott, thanks.
Very well done cosmetic restoration. Enjoyed the teardown and rebuild. Thanks for the look
That is beautiful!!! I wish I could find one just like that that I can work on and restore. Love it!!! Thank you for the inspiration.
Awesome restoration Scott!!!!!! Love your work bro!!!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Cool bike! Very good job on the restoration.
That was a real makeover! Fantastic job. She's a real beauty now!
Wow you really can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Grandma was wrong. All joking aside you did a fantastic job on that. Thanks for bringing us along.
I’ve had my postie bike since 2009 and ride it to work in summer, they are unbelievably reliable and crazy cheap to run I don’t think I’ll ever sell mine. Cool makeover and I like the yellow and black colour scheme.
Scott, thanks for making it 1 video instead of a 15 part series! looks lovely
Very cool, like the colour. The mind boggles how you remember where all the bits go though, I'd have had to have labelled bags, boxes and a notebook 😅
Loved watching the process. End product was spectacular 👌
Very kind, thankyou
Group of seniors, all on 2stroke Honda Urban Express choppers!! '82 model year.
Sounds cool!
Nice bit of Aussie culture kept alive. A professional spray painter told me that yellow is one of the most difficult pigments to spray. Apparently it's not considered to be an opaque colour.
Awesome, Scott! When I was a kid my big sister had a friend down the street that had a Honda moped very much like that one. We rode that thing everywhere!
I saw you put up Charles' name there above his picture! I know he'd be honored that you used an image depicting his passion as inspiration! Cheers!
Nice job. Looks and sounds great!
Good day to you.
I am grandpa and riding Honda Cross Cub at Japan.
Cub is so nice for touring and camping!
CT110 is so versatile motorcycle !
The video is so nice!
Have a nice day!
Thank you so much! Yes the CT110 is a wonderful motorcycle and so versatile! Thank you and have a great day also!
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious san please check my Cross Cub channel!
Love the results. Color is perfect. Been doing some motorcycle mods myself. Ridiculously fun and satisfying. Well done.
Bed liner was a good choice for the rear parcel tray - beats out the old rusty chrome any day.
Thanks. I will see how it lasts but I think you are right, better than rusty chrome.
My only concern would be that black would make it hotter than Hades.
Great project and video, love how you didn't complain about the sprocket that didn't fit at 15:04 and quickly modified it on your lathe to fit!
I'm not typically a fan of yellow, but man, that color is perfect! Amazing work and attention to detail.
Thankyou David. Picking colours is not my forte, but sometimes I pick well.
First mighty car mods works on the postie by adding a turbo to it and now you restore one . I'm starting to wish I had access to one of these bikes they look fun and easy to work on. Great job
very pretty bike, nice project and nice colors you have chosen sir
Wow Great Job Scott ,it's amazing what hard work can do ,*****.
Thanks for the video Scott. Well done. I see you have made your own little Bumble Bee transformer. Keep safe and stay well.
Excellent !! Very nice!
Amazing job. The formula one pit crews have nothing on you.
This was a really well done video of the process. Thank you for sharing! I'm in the middle of a makeover of a CT90, myself and this is motivating!
¡Saludos desde Ciudad Acarigua, Estado Portuguesa, Venezuela!
Muy buena la restauración de la moto, compa...
Well now I know what a postie bike is.
Great job, and truck bed liner is a good choice for the back rack.
Thumbs up from Pennsylvania, US, and thanks for posting (no pun intended).
very good Scott, rescued the scooter, it was perfect congratulations from Brazil
Scott I Thank You so Much Sir. You do Excellent work. Scott how about some kind of Bumble Bee stick on the body, just a suggestion, 🐝👍
Thankyou! Great idea.
Beautiful job Scott, really like your colour scheme, such an improvement. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Michael Doohan just called. He wants his bike back.
Nice one Scott.
Keep 'er lit Bro!
Ahhh Scott, I really needed this video. What a gratifying transformation! How you kept track of where everything went together.....I'll never know. Lol
Thanks Bonnie, I'll never know either :)
Love the colour you chose. Looks awesome!
Is that why my mail has been delayed? Well done Scott.
That's right haha. Thanks Malcolm
What a quality of this engine chamber super sir
110cc
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious sir the engine's chambers is iron or aluminium
@somashakerjampala2065 the cylinder liner is steel, not aluminium
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious not that sir I'm talking about the engine chambers
@somashakerjampala2065 sorry, I am not really sure what you are asking. The engine cases are aluminium, so to the cylinder barrel and head. Steel liner bore. These engines are very reliable and strong.
A lala😘 étant motard ma première moto était une 125 Yamaha rd de 1974 et maintenant je roule en harley superbe restauration dune jolie machine 🤩🤩 et j'adore le nemane pour démarrer le honda bonne continuation vivement la prochaine video
Super cool. My buddy has one he uses for trail maintenance. It a yellow one. He put a FMF 2 stroke pipe on it. Sounds way more "throaty" and gives it way more HP on the bald eagle scale as we call it in America ;-) Who doesn't want more bald eagles! Fun little bike. Yours is very nice.
This is what a viral video looks like , good job
Looks good in yellow mate. Well done
Another great video. Thanks for posting it. I'm afraid if I attempted such a renovation I'd have more than a few bits and bobs left over!. It looks great in yellow. All the best. 👍
Ha, these things go forever! Nice restore, mate 👍🏽
Friend of mine had one of these many moons ago, he'd bought it for the sole purpose of getting to work and back, cost him a whole $7 a fortnight in petrol, I think the distance from home to work may have been something like 25 - 30 klicks...
Love the colour! Nice job👍
Great video. I just finished my 1963 trail 55, first year of the trail bikes. I had previously done my 110 with only 356 miles, and I have two trail 90s that are essentially finished, but I want to replace a cracked swingers on one. I wish I had your welding skills. ...and a lathe, and milling machine, and... Best to you from Wayne out West in Denver, CO
Thankyou Wayne! I consider myself very fortunate to have the tools
Nice job! Great bike! A classic, thank you. Les in UK
Thanks Les!
nice job Scott, 11:05 good split pin, (for a leckie) all ready for Philip Island race track now
Amazing work! The bike looks good as new.
Thanks! It scrubbed up nicely.
Awesome video and fantastic shed mate 👍
Thanks Michael!
Really beautiful work, Scott! It turned out fantastic! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great Job, my friend!
Dude, that's a seriously njce restoration.
Though I can't stop thinking about how the exhaust should feel incredibly warm at your leg, even with the heat shield.
But that's Honda's design, lol.
Good work on the sprocket, and love the end result!
Great restoration there, Scott. I'm thinking of buying a CT125 for the work commute and a bit of weekend fun. These bikes are almost bulletproof.
Thanks Richard. Yes so true!
Looks smart dude.... I learn somethin new from every vid. Health to enjoy... 🤘🤨
giving marty and moog a run for their money!
Looks amazing, really nice job!
Such a shame that the trails/super cubs didn't gain as much traction here in the states as they did elsewhere. I'd like to get my hands on one and restore it like you did. These bikes have a certain simple beauty to them.
Totally agree!
Looks great!
Superbe restauration,très joli travail bravo à bientôt salut Jeannot 🛠😉
Looks good.👍
I Really loved it, great work 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Enjoyed the show
I’m noticing a theme or trend of Australians really liking the color yellow.
Not sure, but I like it :)
Sweet looking ride, I own a Yamaha Chappy from the same era. I´ve been thinking about stripping it, and sending the parts in for powder coating, currently it has a spray can paint job. The front shocks needs to be rebuilt also.
thats a pro job! well done
Another video that shows Scott can improve everything 👍😎👍
Beautiful work Scott,
Would love to see you do a tour of Magnetic Island on it.
Lockdown in Melbourne and have missed out on our annual holliday there two years in a row now. 🏝
Thankyou Joe, yes you guys are doing it tough for sure down south. I hope you get a good trip away to Maggie soon.
Nice job 👍
As a kid (40+ years ago 😳) my 2nd bike was a Honda CT70, they had a different frame design to yours. Bought it for $50 which was still a bit of coin to me then but we had a lot of fun with it.
Those old CT's gave a lot of us a start on bikes. Rock solid reliability, maybe not so good going over the jumps :) but tonnes of fun.
That is one bitchin' ride! and the paint job probably adds at least 5HP. Wish we had more bikes like that around here. Great job (as always)
It’s so nice seeing these dinky bikes being taken care of. Well done. And I think you’ve managed the perfect balance between not too nice, but still useable, and nice enough to get that “Looks good” feeling. Kudos! 😎👍🏻
Looks like you didn't have to do a lot of part replacement or repair on this. Must have been in fairly decent shape to begin with. Lots of work on cleanup and painting though. Really great looking result! The yellow and black looks really cool. Thanks for sharing!
Yes mechanically it was pretty good thankfully. Cheers Seth!
Хорошая работа!!!
Fn love it, mate. Brilliant!
Good to see you wearing your Thailand safety gear 😂😂. Great little bike and I like the yellow. Cheers Stuart, Canberra
