I have seen one of these Big Horns, in action. Boy you talk about a two stroke thumper! This motorcycle is crazy man, you better hold on tight when you get him running!
In the good 'ol US of A, it seems there are farms and property's in the middle of nowhere around every corner with barns stuffed with old cars and bikes just waiting to be snapped up. Here in the UK that has dried up years ago hence all the US imports of 70's and 80's bikes that have proliferated over the last few years. One of the things i envy about you guys over there.
I haven't visited your channel in a long time it seems, but I always find myself coming back to watch the Barn Fresh series about once a year. Great content!!
I AM RESTORING A 1953 BSA GOLDEN FLASH 650cc FROM SCRATCH STARTING WITH A BARE FRAME AND THEN A BARE CRANKCASE - SO FAR - I HAVE 14+ YEARS INTO THE ACQUISITION OF ONLY THE BEST OF THE BEST PARTS I CAN FIND FROM GLOBAL RESOURCES. I NOW HAVE 99% OF THE MOTORCYCLE. I FIGURE ANOTHER 2 YEARS AND IT'LL BE FINISHED AND READY FOR SHOWING.
Hey Junkman! I’m wondering if you have any more info on the exhaust/muffler on that orange bike you didn’t choose? Shows up at about 4:15. My 1974 Kawasaki F7 I’m restoring has that style exhaust, and it doesn’t look stock. Thought it was some custom thing until seeing a matching one now. Thanks!
Way cool video Junkman. Ive wanted a 350 Big Horn for as long as i can remember. I noticed the 250 has a very rare Bassini expansion chamber that could bring some bucks on E-bay if you wanted to part that bike out.
skyfual Check out episode 2 and subscribe as there are 13 episodes total coming. Also check out my website for way more information and pictures. I also have a 1973 F11 I have some pictures of me riding it as well.
I enjoyed Is watching your video. I'm working on the same One A 1974 350 big horn . It was just wondering if you would have a clutch cover and cable. That you would want to sell. Let me know that be great thank you
I restored a 1963 Lincoln Continental. I think I want to do a bike now. How much did those bikes cost and could you recommend any salvage yards for old bikes I prefer older bikes as a collector. I want to do a bike and restore it to original condition.

INTRO LIKE: Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo.
There was a Kawasaki triple also lurking in that shed with an early style one piece alternator cover. A 350 S2?. Why are the indicators slow and feeble on my F9B?. Yes its a new battery, I've checked the earth's and I've tried three different flasher units!!!.
@@thejunkman Thank you for replying to my F9B enqiury. I have the correct wattage indicator bulbs and I've wired individual earths to the rear indicator heads ( the Kawasaki system is penny pinching crap ). I've been through the system with my multimeter and can't find any short's or problems. It's a ball ache so you could be right. If that was an S2 in that dusty shed please restore that next as I'm do'ing an early 1971 biult S2.
It is. I have a bunch of triples, each displacement already fixed up, but I did these before TH-cam existed. These are just ones for either parts or other complete bikes to restore in retirement. I am focusing on upgrading my equipment for video production so those will not be done anytime soon.
@@thejunkman That's a shame. I would have enjoyed a blow by blow triple resto series. I'm pleased with mine as it's shabby but hasn't been faffed about with by the look of the fixings and crank case sealant. I've spent a kings ransome on NOS parts but this hobby's become very popular and parts are being vacuumed up at an alarming rate. I blame you!!!.
They are popular over in the UK I see. I have been doing this a long time and not just on the internet. www.thejunkmanadv.com/about-the-junkman.html You can see a few bikes and other things right here on my website.
i got 2 bikes free..a couple really cheap..fixed em up..i dont really choose..but i knew i had to have an xr 75! so i bought a fixer upper..gonna be sick !
Great looking bikes! really like the Orange one, Subbed and I just noticed that Yellow Truck in the back ground looks like my 53 IHC R-160 COE truck :)
Thanks. Watch the whole series and see how I restore the orange one, also I use the other two and make a performance oriented Vintage motocross racer. BTW the truck in the background is a 1957 FWD (Four Wheel Drive Company) with SnoGo snowblower and 14L Climax engine on the back to drive the blower. See it here th-cam.com/video/Zu93rC1dp6w/w-d-xo.html
thejunkman Sweet! will do, what other bikes do you own? I have a sweet but dangerous collection of my own, 71 TM400, 74 TM250, (2) 72 Husky WR250 and 400s, and a Penton Mint 400
Obviously you need to check out my website. I don't have ALL my bikes listed or photographed (I have around 30 total, not counting my parts bikes) Poke around the pages on my website and you can read and watch all about them. www.thejunkmanadv.com/
that's cool MechRider89. the first time I watched it I seen it then I watched it again then I seen it was a triple.lol...I have a 73 s2 I have been playing with. a rideable project.lol I have few videos on here of it.
Thanks for the reply and more importantly - thanks for taking the time to share the experience/knowledge. As a keen newcomer to restoration I have a couple of projects in mind but don't have an unlimited budget. I think the indicator I am looking for would be the ratio between initial investment and final reveal costs on a project that is a practical endeavour. I am probably as guilty as yourself of emotional investment where there is provenance but would also like to have a metric to know when something is worthwhile the effort on a project for profit. Keep up the good work and I appreciate you sharing with us all.
vincent yap not long I would check every part to see if it is rusted and how badly if it’s not that rusted it’s fixable but if the engine is clapped then get a new one then check if the gas tank is in good condition if it has or (had) gas in it for a while most definitely probably need a new gas tank and the throttle is or is not in good condition then you could get new throttle stuff
Watch all 13 episodes and you can see the condition things were in. I will tell you this, it took longer to film and edit these videos (which first aired on Blip.tv) than it did to restore the motorcycle.
LOL no. I made this entire series 10 years ago now (originally for a different platform in 2010 long story). This is all filmed on my property. These are bikes I acquired in the 90's.

Better visit soon. Comunists are trying to destroy USA. I currently enjoy USA and my Kawasaki LTD 1000. Have a nice day.
I have a 73 f7b, it is quite cool

Check my channel, I combined two of those bikes into a vintage performance build.

It is just how they are. It has to do with the bulb filaments and how they react with the flasher. Old 6V electrics are pretty much all like this.

Awesome man, I'm going to check them out. There's not a lot of material on the internet for the triples.

Mileage is a measure of distance. What distance are you asking about?

i wonder it take how long to restoration these shit
13 episodes www.thejunkmanadv.com/barn-fresh-restoration.html
vincent yap not long I would check every part to see if it is rusted and how badly if it’s not that rusted it’s fixable but if the engine is clapped then get a new one then check if the gas tank is in good condition if it has or (had) gas in it for a while most definitely probably need a new gas tank and the throttle is or is not in good condition then you could get new throttle stuff
Watch all 13 episodes and you can see the condition things were in. I will tell you this, it took longer to film and edit these videos (which first aired on Blip.tv) than it did to restore the motorcycle.
Less time than it takes to learn English grammar and comprehension.
Lol Did you just go out to the country and raid random dilapidated barns?
LOL no. I made this entire series 10 years ago now (originally for a different platform in 2010 long story). This is all filmed on my property. These are bikes I acquired in the 90's.
@@thejunkman Lol that makes more sense
I bet it would fire up first kick outa the barn. Just a joke
Keep watching the series. You can see what this engine looked like on the inside, stuck piston and all.
+thejunkman I saw that
fake barn find
The best you could come up with.
