Davin's attitude about project analysis and video comments is refreshing. There is nothing wrong with objective study of a way of doing things. No defensiveness on his part. Makes the viewers feel welcome. This is good stuff!! I really think Davin should just get his own TV show. It would definitely take off.
You do an awesome job of explaining things Davin. I don't even have a shop to go into, but I love watching what you do. Let's me live vicariously through you.
Take a shot every time Davin says "Relative to" 😁 Just teasing, I love these videos, and you have inspired me to try to get my Mustang running again. Keep up the good work
Great work Davin! I love the "behind the scenes" take for your sponsor! It just shows how much time goes into filming/editing to make these videos happen.
That braided wire wrap looks nice and I would rather have the wires protected than vulnerable to being caught on something and broken. Nice work on rebuilding the stator and looking forward to seeing this Honda all back together!! :)
Wow, I never thought anyone at Hagerty would notice that post about the bearing. I often buy rubber, or metal sealed bearings, and pop off what's not needed. And now for my Rock Auto bearing tips of the day : In the part numbers a RS means rubber-shielded. A ZZ means metal dust shields. As tempting as it may be, always buy a quality bearing. There are many knock offs.. Remember friends don't let friends buy bad bearings!
The advantage of safety glasses is that people that are older than dirt can get them in Reader versions to help when working on small stuff close up. People like you. (I own several in various magnifications)
Davin, regarding the neutral switch, why not pop the pins out of the plug and then route all the wires together in the original or replacement sleeve? The plug pins pop out very easily. Withn that braided sleeve, you can run a hot edge (soldering iron) over the loose strands too, which will stop it from coming apart.
Awesome work Davin, however if you could show any specialised tools for a particular job that would be great. Sometimes in down under we do things the hard way not knowing about the correct tools. Keep up the great content and look forward to the next drinking game….. 😂😊
In fact, the wiring looks way better with the braided wrap than with the original plastic-ish tubing. These tubes tends to become very stiff with age, keeps all the grime inside, also the heat, and tends to participate in the dreaded wiring harness rot some european manufacturers are renown for. Wiring management tip also, ties your harness to avoid sharp angled wires. A kink in a wire is where insulating material will rupture, or even internal conductor may break with vibrations. Keeps your wiring as smooth and unconstrained as possible.
At the risk of the keyboard commandos getting riled up yet again.... This is the best show Hagerty produces, hands down. Tom's show is 2nd - but you'll learn more simply by watching Davin do his thing than you will by watching most any other weekly installment show, here or elsewhere. The man is damn good, which is why he's there - and you're not. Please proceed, Professor Davin. :-) - Ed on the Ridge
I haven't watched any other videos, but I'm willing to bet that JIS screwdrivers aren't being used on this restoration. Took many years and many stripped screws to realize my folly.
thats funny as hell because I was sitting here thinking the same thing.. "did he just put a sealed bearing in an oil bath gearbox?" But hey, I figured "Franklin diff = hot lap 4 minutes at a time, who cares".
I'm curious as to whether the old Honda bikes use screws built to the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS)? I know from working on vintage audio that if you are dealing with JIS screws using a JIS screwdriver can greatly reduce the risk that you will strip a screw. The screwdrivers are available at a reasonable cost and can save you a lot of headaches.
Is that a standard 6volt stator or upgraded to 12volt? I have one too that already fixed years ago and still using stadard 6volt stator but finding 6volt battery was very hard, rn i need to change the batt is 6volt battery still exist for that or should i made the batt using lithium? Nice video tho, keep up the good work 🇮🇩👍
I used a 6V sealed lead acid battery that are readily available for home alarm systems on my CT110. My local Batterys + Bulbs store has them and they are just a few dollars.
I’m with you on the viewers who are negative-know-it-all’s. Lately, I just delete their comments and hide them. Constructive criticism is one thing, but if you’re so smart, go make your own videos.
No JIS screw drivers? All Phillips looking screws on Japanese bikes are JIS if OEM. A Very good chance of stripping the head using regular Phillips. McMaster Carr has a set 53325A61
All the bolts are being replaced with stainless Phillips bolts. And yes, we know about JIS screw drivers, but they are VERY similar to a Phillips and interchanging them is only really a problem if you aren't paying attention to what you're doing.

Great editing and sound leveling. Just so the crew knows at least one person notices that sort of thing.
Oh I noticed lol
You are so kool to talk about the comments. Thanks

I just realized I've been using RockAuto for like 20 years. Man, I'm old. Geesh!

You may end up in the hospital playing that game! 🤣
Also... great to hear about your Mustang! Drop us a line at video@hagerty.com with a clip of her running once she's back!
Great work Davin! I love the "behind the scenes" take for your sponsor! It just shows how much time goes into filming/editing to make these videos happen.
That's the humor of video's , tks for all u an the crew do too make this all possible..now go chill out..lol😎✌✌👍👍👍

I wish this video was available 20 years ago before I destroyed my Trail 70........Thanks for the updates again Davin! Enjoyed it!
The way this is shot, lit and edited is great. You are a good explainer.
Personally I think you do a great job. Far more real than most.
I am working over in Kuwait so therefore have no shop I can work in, BUT the Red Line videos make my day!!!!
Stay safe man. I have someone out there on deployment right now. Hope all goes well

I learned about that wrap recently and now I use it on all my projects. Looks great and factory.
We've used it on a bunch of projects. It's that perfect last little touch to get everything under the hood buttoned up and looking clean.

The Davin "Relative to" drinking game again!
I wondered if I was the only one to catch that.
@@navvet4518 it's a nice regular game I like to play
@@itsjustcam247 There are several episodes that should get you pretty drunk.
The washer stuck to the back of his hand was hilarious!
Thank you for share with us your expertise! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love the o-ring stuck to the hand mid way through.
Davin, as a professional mechanic,you do things like I would do them. Keep up the good work.

Awesome info! Thanks for sharing.
I love the braided wire wrap, it cleans up loose wiring nicely.
Retakes and the magic of making videos FTW! Noice tip of the day, Davin :o)

According to that washer you have a very magnetic personality
Where do you get those sweet tunes for these videos? Some of them are really good.
Digging this music, so relaxing.

Wonderful job Davin 👍 💯
Very interesting. Can't wait to see the final assembly of the bike!
Here I am thinking Davin's a natural in front of the camera...needs a cup of coffee just like the rest of us :)
2 cups, some days.
Your closing of “go get into the shop” motivated me to get my old Cadillac running. Thank you!
Happy to hear it! Good luck with your project!
Davin your great and those who can do it better than you should start their own channels and see how it goes.

excellent as always
I'm not quite heading to the shop. The pontoon boat I'm working on this week is in the driveway beside the shop.
I think he's afraid we are gonna hurt ourselves in the shop today!
Davin Reckow: you want the best? - Here I am. Huge thanks, dear engineer of the world.
Skip a day in the shop? Never. I work for Chrysler five days of the week, work on my ol Willy’s truck on the weekends
At the risk of the keyboard commandos getting riled up yet again....

I watch these videos to wind down. My wife thinks I'm crazy 🤪
I haven't watched any other videos, but I'm willing to bet that JIS screwdrivers aren't being used on this restoration. Took many years and many stripped screws to realize my folly.
We're replacing everything with stainless Phillips.
Hilarious! Love the bloopers guys.
Been watching you work on automobiles for a long time and just today realized that your name wasn't David. Lol

where did you find that parts to rebuild your stator? I have one off a yahama breeze 125 and cant seem to find the parts anywhere.
A glass of water or lemonade? Hells teeth man I’m in France 🍷🍷🍷
🤣🤣 Je suis au Québec : 1 Gin.
Respect.
I’m thinking that insulating washer might come into play when you don’t have spark.
What.? No SYL-GLYDE on those O rings.?.?
everyone needs just to take a break and goto a car show
does that rear end go on the Honda 70?
great 👏
Hey Davin luv, were just a bunch of picky opinionated knobs. So there's that. 0~o
No "shizzlesticks" moment in the beginning of the video? lol
Nitrous for cooling bearings?

I used a 6V sealed lead acid battery that are readily available for home alarm systems on my CT110.
My local Batterys + Bulbs store has them and they are just a few dollars.
As a 90s kid, I had no idea wtf a stator actually looks like. Now I know 😅
I’m from 2003 and I’ve rebuilt a few in my lifetime, most recent was a 1971 Piaggio Vespa V90.
Lol
Hey Davin,
Where did you source the new coils for the stator?
Yep good question, I’m searching for a 5 wires 6V version for a ST70, my stator is really in a poor condition…
Give Trail Buddy a shout! mytrailbuddystore.co
😎👍
Naa , I'm going in the shop today ..
Hola
I love cdi system its more simple👍
Points and condenser are very simple and if there's a problem can be fixed at the side of the road with basic tools, CDI not so much.
👍😁👊

I work in a shop . Soooo does that mean i can go home
Some folks take things a little too seriously
What about Chrysler 440 ?
It's a big block V8.
@@Hanzyscure
So what is he not building that engine?
Rebuilding a stator is the easy bit doing the explanation is the difficult bit
and product placement forget about it
Do you want to sell it

PLEASE don't have sponsors. It ruins the whole show.
Depends on how hard they push it I feel
Without sponsorship there wouldn't be a show.
Do they make electric ignition conversion for these bikes? Points suck, and should be relegated to history.
No fair taking apart surgically clean parts. Go find a 3 wheeler that's been rusting away in someones barn for 30 years lol
Yet another mug of irritability never helps for me.
