Excellent video! The level of care your taking on a bike that your giving away shows your true passion. Everything done the right way. Looking forward to your next video as always!

[@andreduval]

Cameron, your videos are so well produced and helpful. Truly among the best on the internet! Keep bringin' it!

[@dirtyhooliganmx4337]

Love watching the channel being a cancer survivor myself im glad to see you are doing good and recovered its a hard thing to overcome keep up the good work can't t wait to see how this build turns out

[@Healingclaws]

you know your the only youtuber ive seen (probably not the only one on the site) that promotes safety equipment when working around stuff, and i love it,

[@twowheelworkshop]

Thanks! Good video and how you walk thrue every steep 👍 Love to see your videos ❤ Love from 🇸🇪 Sverige/Sweden

[@dmett3828]

Really nice job. It's more like art the way you restore these bikes. I myself have restored many toys over the years but not to your level. I've learned a lot watching your vids. Thx man.

[@dtl95]

Your videos helped me out with my first mini dirtbike. I purchased a ttr-230 and a crf150r with intentions on entering the bike build contest. I had to make sure the 150r was running before starting the project and ended up shattering the top of my tibia during one of the first test rides New Year’s Eve having a little more fun than I had originally planned lol. 2 plates and 12 screws later! Just want to say how much I appreciate the videos and that I can’t wait to get back to it.

[@tannertaylor6946]

I’ve been hooked on these bike builds recently!! Great work :)

[@WillyD1]

You are into it that is beautiful work craftsmanship at its finest I learned a lot from this vid thank you

[@uke8506]

Man I was watching the majority of the video with a smile on my face. Can’t wait to see the finished engine! I have a 2002 rm250 myself.

[@teemill450]

Welcome home.. Nice work . Loving the RM build

[@Fixin2Ride-Official-]

Cameron!!! That is Killer and good job showing a SXS of the different types of finishes. I'm into restoring and just getting into bikes so this is right down my alley. I LOVE the shine that clean aluminum and polished aluminum has!

[@paule5812]

Glad to see you are back at it Cam, I’ve missed seeing notifications from your channel, I hope all is good.

[@gordonnixon1755]

After this amazing build you should do a 250 four stroke!! I would love to see what you can do to one and what you can teach for all us 4 stroke lovers!! Other than that love the videos learned so much from them keep it up!

[@xd_gangster693]

yeah that would be sick

[@1E11evenMoto]

I’m building a CRF250R on my channel..Cameron has definitely been an inspiration for me building this bike from nothing up

[@gordonnixon1755]

Tokenn Moto 191 I’ll definitely check it out I love the way Cameron shows things he just shows all the details!! He really doesn’t skip a part in his builds and if he does he already has a video on it I’ll love if you did the same if it it’s still ok I’ll love to check it out!

[@1E11evenMoto]

Gordon Nixon yea I’m just in the breakdown and cleaning stage but have parts on the way.. one day I hope to be as detailed as Cam! Practice is key..I can build a two stroke but this is my first four stroke build other than my pit bikes

[@gordonnixon1755]

Tokenn Moto 191 that’s awesome man hopefully I can watch your videos and get inspiration from you and build my own I hope to see it come along I’m excited to see you doing your own thing I bet Cameron will be proud haha that’s awesome how he inspires you to do it! Idc if your videos are a hour I’ll watch it all just talk about every step you do and if people don’t like it you should try and make 2 playlists like detailed ones and shorts ones for the others can’t wait to see it man!

[@tinkermouse-scottrussell3738]

Hey, Cameron thanks for the heads up on the oven tip awesome wish I found this sooner. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us. Play Safe From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.

[@zacharydaring5454]

Great video, can't wait to see the end result. If that is how the engine looks then, the rest of the bike is going to look sweet!!!!

[@joski9030]

Yes Cam ! Good to see you doing what you do best man I’m searching for my next project !

[@MotoResurrect]

Wish I would’ve seen the use of the flap wheel earlier! Hope the finish by hand gets rid of the inconsistencies in my cases as well. Thanks for the info!

[@goodboyringo9716]

Nice job Cameron, that is a ton of work but you tackle it without a hitch and with a great attitude , like always. Hang in there and may the new year bless you as much as the last year did.

[@robertwoods2505]

Great work as always. You're the king of making old look new. Keep the videos coming!

[@jannenasi29]

These videos and your web sites are so helpful and full of information needed! Keep up the amazing work!

[@silvermoose0690]

I love the videos. I just got my first dirtbike after a few quads and your videos are awesome when working on my new crf 150f

[@kmannc]

Brushed finish looks great! To get straighter lines dont rub back and forth, just rub one direction, like top to bottom, pick up the pad, and start from the top again. It turns out alot better normally

[@mxrider2strokebraaap54]

Those cases are cleaner than the plates I eat from👌😂 Sweet vid🔥

[@1E11evenMoto]

Been waiting patiently for you to upload brotha! I’ve started my build on the channel but need more inspiration haha

[@anglingaddict1848]

Love watching these videos man! I’ve learned so much and found so many new techniques!

[@EricBanner571]

You learn something new everyday. Thanks for the tips.

[@johngerberjr.3571]

that vapor blast goes hard af!!! love it

[@bradleythomsen3083]

Remarkable patience and attention to detail.

[@johnnyboy2201]

Can’t wait to do this to the rm125 I’m buying this weekend. Looks great!!

[@tben9357]

I have to say man i learned alot off of you and your videos over the past couple of years so just wanted to say thank you! Such great stuff you put out to help others 👌💯

[@robertwest9105]

Always impressive results from the integrity of your effort. kudos my good man. "I don't even know if I want to put that on the bike" hah, you win the internet. be well.

[@ghettobikelife8833]

Good job man! I always have trouble getting into all the nooks and crannies cleaning stuff like that

[@edmundkenny4193]

Awesome, love your videos, I also had cancer recently. Ewing sarcoma 7 months of chemo and radiation hell. Starting to set up the garage to do a total bike build on a 2004 Honda CRF250X . Picked up everything to start cerakoting. Can't wait!!

[@richardtschida2321]

Hi Cameron after watching I am building a drz400 I took this one step further. I used polishing compound w/a cloth wheel and man does it shine. Thanks Cameron.

[@xd_gangster693]

it keeps getting better and better. i have an image of your cr250 as by desktop background lol. its awesome

[@kellywiley9007]

Looks great!!!! Can’t wait to see the engine together. Going to look amazing. Can’t wait for the next video. But till then off to order a hoodie. Thanks Cam

[@CameronNiemela]

Thank you Kelly!

[@markmantle852]

Awesome channel dude! You have inspired me to rebuild my 04 cr250. Keep these sweet vids coming.

[@jesseison-bowman3964]

Nice work Cam you are getting really good at polishing aluminum!

[@freerfixedit]

what precautions do you take to preserve these finishes once you're done? any coatings or oil or maintenance procedures to keep things looking shiny and fresh?

[@marcopolo5553]

He mentioned 3 preservation tips but the easiest one he mentioned imo is just clear coat the finished product. Whether you leave it brushed or buff it shiny you can always finish with a clear coat

[@Maverickjs74]

Great tip about heating the parts in the oven. Was scratching my head the other day about trying to get the stuck twin needle roller bearings in the dual brake system pivot point on the lower fork leg on my XL1000v. Just tried your tip 20 mins ago on the dismantled fork lower and they pushed out with minimal force. Thanks

[@ChadwickRider]

@Cameron Niemela ... glad you're feeling better, and good on you bud for mentioning safety!

[@brokebikemtb4448]

Hey cam just wanted to say it's good to see you back in the shop... fully support you devin and austin....even though I'm not really into the whole fitness stuff i watch bobby too..I hope everything is going well for you...send that clutch cover to a laser engraver and send a j peg of your logo.....that would be sick...

[@tmk5522]

Happy to see ya in the shop, this old Suzuki is going look like a factory bike. My 01 rm had the Suzuki “S” logo embossed on the flywheel cover I painted it black and polished off the logo. It only lasted a couple of rides but it looked super cool.

[@franklinvalentin3399]

Wow!!! Those cases look amazing. Great job man!

[@danielmccaulley9632]

Your build are so satisfying to watch I love to watch every one of your videos

[@TheEnergyball]

I haven't personally used the stuff, but a builder friend uses Sharkhide marine metal protectant on his cleaned up metal. It is more of a liquid rub-on product. Pricey stuff but he has been happy with it. Thanks for sharing. The use of the flapper and scuffing bits is a game-changing information.

[@steadfastjack277]

You are an inspiration to us all. Keep on keeping on Cam

[@FORSCHISHORD]

so satisfying to watch those bearings drop out!

[@rushzimi3865]

If you wish to maintain the motors sheen and cleanliness, spray the engine with a light coat of non-stick cooking spray before you take it out. Concentrate on the dirt "impact" areas especially. Once done with the days riding simply pressure spray with gentle detergent. This will restore it to its original shine. I have built show road bikes that were frequently ridden... worked a treat there as well. Good luck and thanks for the great channel Cam. 👌

[@Goonsquad356]

Looking really good so far cant wait for the finished bike

[@lex1945]

Been waiting for this vid for so long! But it was worth waiting! Looks great! Keep up the good work Cameron!

[@brianrehmert8292]

Looking sharp bro. This bike is going to be on point. Great work and great to see your doing well. Excited to see the next vids. Keep it and God bless.

[@kevmc209]

Finally!! Been waiting for a vid! Glad to see you lookin healthy my man!!

[@sawyertarnanen5580]

Always gotta love new vids from u.

[@charlesdavidson7324]

Those cases came out wicked cool dude!!! I’m trying to save up some to get a few more tools to start doing that kind of finish. I normally attack it with the aluminum cleaner and scotch brite (the hard and long way). Thanks for the knowledge mon. Pryme to the bone Cam 💯🤙🏽🆙🙏🏽

[@jeffreygattis850]

man this looks so fresh. cant wait to see it complete

[@dylanswicegood471]

Case looks literally beautiful! I want to do this to my 06 Crf450r!

[@ftball90]

Go figure... another great video Cam! Those parts turned out sweet! Sooo clean! An idea for the future... next time you get a head in that condition, you should discuss how to measure the squish band and mating surfaces. A lot of hidden performance in is stock heads by just correcting the squish band.

[@jimmadonna1436]

Power seal does amazing work. The cylinder on my CR was done by them.

[@vr6caddy843]

Nice vid, and chilled out music as always. Just the way I like it👌🏼

[@zardportugal]

Superb work. Congrats Cameron.

[@HectorGarcia-cb6vp]

Awesome man, I love your patience.

[@emmanuelramirez8599]

my mouth waters with how clean the cases look🤤🤷🏽‍♂️

[@leipomatonrasa7839]

I think the blasted looks the best. I love the brushed one cause it looks more unique, but blasted is just soo clean!

[@benjaminc.m.9873]

Crank Cases for lunch - delicious. I really enjoy your videos man.

[@j.d.7321]

L👀ks great!! Very effective 👍👍, love the scuff pad mit lol

[@Achilleas7]

Man are you a lifesaver! warm'em up and pop they all go !! o.0

[@BanjoSkrrt]

Better late than never exited to see this bike done 👍🏻 great work like always Cam

[@paulfix5975]

Super Arbeit - ich könnte Dir stundenlang dabei zusehen!

[@winru2]

Good tips exactly what i wanted to know for my restoration

[@patrickmcg9734]

Vapour blasting also 'seals' the aluminum making it less porous and more resistant to staining etc. Much easier to keep clean.

[@user93634]

Thanks Cameron for more idea's!

[@racerunnermx]

I appreciate the great work you do cant wait to see what's next 👍

[@svenomick5857]

Beautiful work as always love your work.

[@jhammer929]

Looking SWEET...as always!

[@jcposada]

very nice job. There are a few guys who have documented DIY vapor blaster conversions of harbor freight cabinets. Some of them sell plans/components. My fav is Armoury Enterprises

[@jakeweaver7398]

would love to see a full shop tour !!

[@bassparker8594]

Man you do some amazing work and I'm taking notes 😂💪🤘🤘😉

[@f1hotrod527]

Not only does vapor blasting give a beautiful bright finish, it closes the pores on the aluminum. So the parts should not stain again on the future. It should also corrode slower and stay nice looking longer.

[@robbyjay8119]

So fresh and so clean!!👌👌

[@ilovemushing]

😂 This 4 year old video led me to your shop for the cleaning pads. I'm restoring my 2007 RM250. Gonna polish all the aluminum on the bike to a mirror finish.

[@CameronNiemela]

Glad you found the video! Hope it helps!

[@ilovemushing]

@@CameronNiemela All of your Videos helped a TON! The Best RM content on KZbin.

[@FEARLESS_MEMORIES]

[@Speedytrip]

Superb work as always!

[@daniellings9224]

So obsessed with his polishing pads, he even uses it to take food and parts out of the oven 😅

[@cajunsurvivor]

This guy has life figured out.

[@teamtrembleoutdoors4870]

Looks great. I can't wait to take it for a rip!

[@YorHighness]

Your Channel is inspirational dude. Thanks

[@jaredamoroso8273]

Awsome video man and that came out really good.

[@ianmangham4570]

I love those sanding/flappy wheels, they eat alloy,I clean car alloys with them removing all the curb strikes, they don't mess around,using a 500w hammerdrill.

[@petebird7171]

Great video, keep them coming, thanks.

[@haydendouglass1417]

The hoody is awesome!
