That wire wheel technique is the best for any metal rust if it is D. I. Y.. but don't be mistaken it is back breaking hard work.. so thumps up to you man for that massive effort 👍👍
Dude, you are kicking ass on this build. Thanks for sharing. Excellent job on all of this! Also, I am going to be trying to flash my Subaru ECU after watching your video on that.
Let me tell you about my new favorite tool (and soon to be your favorite tool to): impact screwdriver! You tap it with a hammer and it twists hard to loosen screws that would otherwise strip out
Another awesome vid, I love seeing these old bikes get the love they need even if I am a Yamaha and Honda guy. Still real cool and fun to watch. Keep it up man
I think the paint can start to peel if their is to much thinner in the paint mix. using a primer that leaves a rough surface makes the paint stick better... like using an adhesion promoter between the primer and paint lair, a lite dusting, does not have to be full coverage. the surface should feel like sand paper before being painted, but not to be sanded to get the rough texture. "vary lite primer coat".
Nice job man. If you used my pressure washer you wouldn’t have needed any aircraft stripper ! The commercial ones will take OLD paint off with relative ease. Just in case you ever want to invest in one.
Hey man, I was wondering, do you have any advice on how to cover exposed wiring that can be seen? There's a cluster of wiring coming from the front of my fuel tank to the headlight cluster and it looks quite unsightly. Currently I'm using a cheap cable sleeve but it doesn't look that neat. What do you use?
With the frame neck off and only straighten "good enough" the bike isn't going to ride straight and will be not save to ride. But like always you have to work with what you have on your hands. Maybe you can find a shop that can straighten it for you? And you will promote them on your channel if they give you a nice price for the work. Or they might even sponsor that for your channel. But don't forget to replace the bearings! Boi you need to step up your game! If you run into jobs you cant manage get help for the job. I know that will cost some money sometimes but it also shows a solution to a problem you can run into. You already spend money to rebuild the bike but if you build it on a bend frame it is all worth less. There are things you should not skip on doing and that is everything that regards to you risking your health and life on riding the bikes. What happen if you go into a left turn and it pulls you right into oncoming traffic? If you end up in the hospital it cost you more then the money you need to invest to make the bike save. And it even can cost your life. Are you willing to pay that price to ride the bike?
theres a lil sand blaster for 60 bucks on amazon i just ordered to help me redo a kawasaki klt 160 atc.its such a rare bike its gonna take some time for this old guy to look young agin.but iv been watching your channel for a while seen lots of your videos and contributed aswell to help on next buy.still waiting on some murch.need a shrit that says "That was easy"on front and back "Holy shit that wasnt soupose to happen" i dont know how manny times i use those same words
@@ericabecker8764 with how rare that bike is I'd try www.mrcycleparts.com/parts/kawasaki/klt160a/fuel-tank.html and others that recycle the parts cuz ebay is pretty slim with 160 parts
One has two pistons and the other has one piston. Both engines have the same displacement so they will both go the same speed but the vtwin might sounds cooler.
Your mechanical skill and knoladge are scarly lacking. I am so glad I live on the other side of the pond and have no chance of accidently owning anything you have worked on.
Thx for the videos, great job dude. I've send you a mail to your mmcalister gmail account on the 3rd of May. Maybe it slipped by but can you have a look and see if you can assist.
I will never forget the Suzuki TS100 I used to ride as a youth off road. It was light blue and was two stroke. Cool restoration vid
I like your videos, you show perseverance. I miss the days when i thought time was endless !
You're getting better with your welding dude. Keep it up!
That wire wheel technique is the best for any metal rust if it is D. I. Y.. but don't be mistaken it is back breaking hard work.. so thumps up to you man for that massive effort 👍👍
Spray on aircraft. Is way weaker. Bud. Trust me. Love your damn videos. Wish they were more often.
Mason you're killin it man, frame looks fantastic! Can't wait to see the full reassembly
Thanks man!!
Great videos dude. I normally do car restorations but I've been stir crazy in college so I got a TS125 to restore. This has been a huge help
Dude, you are kicking ass on this build. Thanks for sharing. Excellent job on all of this!
Also, I am going to be trying to flash my Subaru ECU after watching your video on that.
I'm really enjoying this restoration, Gold Guy! Binged it, makes me wanna pick up my old tools again. Greetings from Holland!
It's awesome seeing your skills and your channel improving, I really hope you're able to set up your shop soon. Love your channel, thanks man!
That intro guitar was the bomb! That’s the one for every opening video!!!! Great Video!!
Good job GoldGuy! Gonna be awesome to see it put back together!
Getting fancy I have a learn to spray a spray yet

I have a 1980 ts185 it’s a lot of fun!
Keep up the good work men you are amazing!
Dang that frame turned out nice. Can't wait to see it go together.
Thanks!
Let me tell you about my new favorite tool (and soon to be your favorite tool to): impact screwdriver! You tap it with a hammer and it twists hard to loosen screws that would otherwise strip out
Finally another TS185 video! WOO WOO
Another awesome vid, I love seeing these old bikes get the love they need even if I am a Yamaha and Honda guy. Still real cool and fun to watch. Keep it up man

Just loving your videos.
Great video champ.
Be extremely careful spraying paint thinner it becomes explosive!
You've come such a long way, it's great to see your progression.
Hope to one day respray an old klr 650, youve given me some idea's.
Love your videos man!!
You do your projects a lot more steady then I do where do you get the patients

Finally! been waiting for this one
Hey GoldGuy, you should get an external microphone for your camera for better sound quality? gut channel btw !
I have an external microphone, it is a very expensive good microphone. Sorry if the quality isn't good enough for you :/
@@GoldGuyRides I think the sound quality is pretty good and clear
Have you considered getting in to motocross once you've sorted your yz450
Maybe!
Should get used to soaking some bolts with a blast of wd 40 or penetration lube for an hour before starting to wrench it helps a lot
10:01 Hey..you did what I did a few weeks ago lol..😂 but I was heating some bent brackets..
Would a pressure wash knock off the finish after it sits with aircraft remover?
GOD Bless AMERICA. indeed
Scorpion 3 Delta out.....
I used the spray on AR for my tank... works about the same.
Nice job man. If you used my pressure washer you wouldn’t have needed any aircraft stripper ! The commercial ones will take OLD paint off with relative ease. Just in case you ever want to invest in one.
if you can turn the spool speed down a notch on your welder, it feeds too quickly
The best
What’s up!
Hey what's up man!
GoldGuy I was so happy to see a TS185 Video! Thank you so much!
Keep up gold guy love the fkng content you are kool
i've been waiting for this :D
Lol, 11mm, I think Suzuki like putting 1 or 2 of those on each bike
Just to mess with people 😂

Since you're going for quality I'd recommend using ceramic paints and petroleum resistant clear coat :)
will be looking into that method thanks.i cant find a gas tank for it tho.no where in the world has one for sale😑
@@ericabecker8764 with how rare that bike is I'd try www.mrcycleparts.com/parts/kawasaki/klt160a/fuel-tank.html and others that recycle the parts cuz ebay is pretty slim with 160 parts
Get a Jawa 175
when will an atc join your ranks?
that steering geometry tho, it's gonna want to go left all the time.
Maybe I can compensate with fork height, idk I'll see. I never noticed it before
@@GoldGuyRides if the crookedness is in my imagination then disregard my comment :)
Alright now throw some nitrous on the 185. ;)
Wow
For a 40k subscriber channel, your content is really good. I would rather watch you than 2vintage...
Well thanks!
Hi do you know what is the difference between this "Keeway KLight 125cc" single cylinder and the "Hyosung Aquila 125cc" V twin cylinder ? Thanks
One has two pistons and the other has one piston. Both engines have the same displacement so they will both go the same speed but the vtwin might sounds cooler.
@@GoldGuyRides thanks
😃😃😃
couldn't you just have used the mixing paint cup you used for the frame hardware to mix the paint? lol
Yes, that would have been much easier lol but it was still full of parts and rust remover solution
Why don't you put a Amazon affiliate link in the description. Extra revenue never hurts
I never buy any of my parts from Amazon though, all this stuff is from eBay
I have the same wire welded. You do a better job with it.
running a fan to draw overspray on other bikes DUH
The frame looks a little bent in the shot of 1:28. Is that just the camera or is the frame actually a little skew?
Spoke too soon, haha!
Wrong indicators they should be bendy plastic.
Your mechanical skill and knoladge are scarly lacking. I am so glad I live on the other side of the pond and have no chance of accidently owning anything you have worked on.
Alright big Jim
Get a rm125
Bro you should have been a butcher
Thx for the videos, great job dude.
I've send you a mail to your mmcalister gmail account on the 3rd of May. Maybe it slipped by but can you have a look and see if you can assist.
I replied to your email! Thanks for watching bro

Your wire speed is way too fast. Slow it down as far as possible and lessen the amps
The grass needs a cut there buddy
