Custom RestoMod of an Old Honda 3 Wheeler

[@DennisLoughary]

Just recently started following your channel, but didn’t want to miss an opportunity to thank you for your military service 👍

[@andywright2380]

Your builds are always amazing. It all looks so easy when you show it in a 30ish minute edited video, but I know from years of experience just how much time and care goes into doing such detailed working

[@charlesdalberto4974]

Love this channel.... Austin, bring on some more projects please

[@naturalone32333]

Nice!!! Great job! Can't wait for the 185 build

[@brh4115]

Brings back great summertime memories. Ride, breakdown, repair and repeat! Fun times!

[@dyamariv3628]

Nice to see you getting back to normal videos!

[@jasonlee5317]

Watched a couple videos you’ve made. Pretty cool. I enjoyed how you sped up the video to let us see the work but not watch for days. So I gotta say I’m impressed with your editing as well. Thx for sharing

[@coolpiehead1234]

Awesome build, you always knock'em out of the park. Stay safe driving them!

[@SR20DET91]

Looks like a piece of art work. The only thing I would change is the headlight, was expecting something a little more retro in line with the stock round one.

[@AustinCoulson]

These originally came with rectangular headlights. I put the round one on in 2005. I went with this one because it was the most vintage looking led one that I could find.

[@coblass]

👍 You’re a great fabricator. I hate when your videos end…lol.

[@seansilva4632]

You are so skilled, I love watching your videos and learning along the way

[@gregstapleton6849]

Welcome back to some fabrication. You are a talent at what you do. Keep it up

[@danmcguire3030]

Very nice. What a fun little bike to play around with.

[@longfinger]

That is beautiful. I still Have a 1985 Big Red that we use in our Pit everyday. Nice job man!

[@williambayliss239]

Great skills. Trikes were fun especially in the snow they go better than quads.

[@scottphillips5143]

Awsome video. Thank you for your SERVICE.

[@EricMacNichol]

The build video was very good, I rather enjoyed watching it. You have some amazing skills. I want to say you did a truly outstanding job, the 200 looks great. 😃👍

[@cliffvining7439]

Excellent job on the metal fab!

[@JuPac420]

You did, you found the right music for the 80’s montage.

[@teetop5776]

What talented human. Awesome job 🤙

[@AndyGriffiths-uh4oi]

Quality work to match the quality honda engine. well done.

[@DericO-rz3be]

Austin... you are the US master fabricator analog to Allen Millyard in the UK. You both are highly precise and creative!

[@twescher]

exceptional work. very well done

[@chokeroll]

That’s amazing ! Unbelievable work ! You are a magician my friend !! 🎉❤

[@TwoAcreDesigns]

Awesome video and restore!!!!

[@jeffnagel918]

you do wonderful work!

[@omglolwaffle]

Great video! You should have 80s music for every montage going forward

[@ColbyJohnson]

Used to rip around kawasaki 4 and 3 wheelers as a kid. I cannot believe we survived lol. This build was extremely clean, can you imagine if they came off the production line this way? No one would have been able to compete.

[@weshipitjamaica4354]

That pearl white is ultra pretty

[@kollinspencer847]

those custom rear fenders are cool. reminds me of the us90 fenders.

[@alexmoreau8921]

Love your stuff man

[@mikeshima157]

Talent

[@StraightLineCycles]

That's so awesome!

[@RoadratEddie]

I remember having one of those years ago and used as a pit bike during my racing days......Never had a problem but remember hearing they were prone to flipping over when riding real aggressively

[@JoeB-pv8su]

Great video!

[@oliverroedel1111]

here we go! no electric, but combustion!

[@frikkied2638]

Looks sick man. Damn I love your videos 👍

[@jerryplude8892]

Great Job!

[@DericO-rz3be]

SUPER COOL!!!

[@tylerbarrett6652]

I love the way you do these videos... all the editing must take hours! Sometimes I wish you uploaded more often... because you do such amazing work and on some really cool projects - but seriously, the format you use is excellent. You waste none of OUR time and you pretty much show us everything. Very cool. Thanks for sharing this with us. Looks like you've settled in to your new shop pretty well. Any additional plans for your space?

[@AustinCoulson]

Thanks for the kind words. I try hard to fit everything in without glossing over stuff or making it boring so it's awesome to get comments like this. The shop is working out great, but I don't love my office location so I plan on building a new office/editing room in the back corner and shifting my fabrication area towards the garage doors. I also just got a tire machine that I need to find a good spot for.

[@radoslavradoslavov8007]

Coul wound be proud!

[@nerdskiii]

Awesome! should put some shrouds under the flares to stop rocks damaging the paint work!

[@levesquejp4964]

With the 185 i would go hail mary like the white one but in black ! Same restomod vibe !

[@AvengedAggressively]

When you put the tank decals on, it all came together. What about a "scrambler" theme. Maybe paint it a forest green, with atan seat on the second one? Alternatively, a cyber-3 wheeler?

[@AlteredCarbons]

i had both of these when i was younger in the early 90's god they where so fun. everyone always had issues with them and i couldn't figure out why cause i never crashed them or anything. i remember getting a yamaha that someone swapped in a 250cc bored out motorcycle engine in the late 90's that was SCARY but so damn fun.

[@charleslambeth4358]

It doesn't matter to me what you spent.. What matters is how it came out , about thirty years ago I bought one like this one for $500.00 this one if you sell it on looks alone I have to guess $3500.00.. Great job great video !! Thank you very much.

[@hippycow1006]

Please add a wheelie bar to the second one, that would be absolutely sick! I think you should definitely keep it painted instead of bedliner, maybe bed liner the frame but when you do the tank, it can look cheap.

[@martinedelius]

Great work, as always! My only feedback would be that the sharp edges of the front fender doesn't really match the curved look of the rear fenders. Otherwise it turned out fantastic.

[@GingerPiston]

Love it! How about full-height rollover bar/cage for the next one?!

[@AustinCoulson]

have you ever seen those large curved roll cages so you can roll all the way around and just keep going? That would be fun

[@GingerPiston]

@@AustinCoulson That’d be KZbin Gold! Maybe not the most useful machine though.

[@asbjrnkvisle5831]

Good memories. My cousin and I probably was more on two wheels than three.

[@asbjrnkvisle5831]

I think you should try to keep the other one as original as possible.

[@kennethjones1441]

THANK YOU.

[@matt75200sx]

Awesome!

[@MJR71123]

Amazing

[@ben-jd8kk]

I think the other one would look good in the red metallic paint you used on the hyster build

[@2brokegamers664]

When I was 5, I had a Suzuki LT 80. One day, I was riding around our property with my dad, his friends, and my mom. They were all taking turns jumping this big ramp that Dad had built with the Bobcat. It was quite a sight! Feeling adventurous, I decided I would jump it too. They dared me, and I couldn’t resist. I went all the way up to the top of the hill, about 300 feet away, and came down at full speed. When I hit the ramp, I soared so high that I could see over our barn, down the hill to the road, and even to Grandma’s house. you'd half to understand and see the property to really get how i could see this lol. It was an incredible moment, but it didn’t end well. Dad was furious and yelled at me. He made me put the four-wheeler away for the day Adress is 7400 Stagecoach Rd Whitesburg TN if you wanna see the property also right up the hill is my grandmas 7374 same rd name and stuff check it out sometime you can probably look around and see where i grew up ridding

[@scott2183]

Nice work. How about using one of the 80s paint schemes like you used on the forklift for the 185?

[@AustinCoulson]

That would be cool.

[@dcmotive]

So awesome! Makes me want to buy one! Bodywork looks awesome! Did you install a curtain you can just roll out in the shop for a paint booth? If so how did you find a curtain like that? No taper roller bearings to drop in the stem? I hate using the old loose bearing types. Needs a sweet custom ATC200 decal in the side number plate/quarter panels. I do like the round headlight just slightly more. Maybe I should send you one, not sure if a 5-3/4" would fit in there. Its crazy bright for night riding though.

[@AustinCoulson]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWS2iJWoipeAq9k Here's the paint booth video, the curtain is from Akon. I should have mentioned I went with a rectangular light because that's what they originally had. The round light was from 2005 when I switched them over

[@VinyB57]

I know I m a bit late in the game, but good job buddy!! Did ypu tried the option of 3 thumbnails? Since I saw tou added the old 3 wheeler

[@aka1gbr]

How about a few pinstripes on the white on and as for the 2nd 1 , industrial or Race?

[@philipbechtle2828]

Awesome! Btw, how did the dominion part of the barndominion turn out? Pity that you lost some footage when the hard drive broke. Still, a project overview would certainly be very interesting for many viewers.

[@AustinCoulson]

It's going well, I'm still working on it, that is why it's taking me so long to release build videos on this channel. I am filming it, but I stopped releasing those videos on my other channel because they weren't getting enough views to justify the extra time editing takes.

[@timwight9471]

Mad max theme the next one. Ape hangers and a sissy bar. Rake it out with a big wheel and slicks.

[@titinegruta9532]

Un salut cordial.....Succes in tote proectele

[@ronaldbrown2854]

Hey man, what kind of sauce do you put in your ultrasonic parts cleaner hot tub sauna thingy? I just bought one and I’m ready to dunk some old parts and start ridin’ old bikes around like when I was a kid. I got a pile of old Hondas here just waiting for some love.

[@AustinCoulson]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIOzZqiYbtasmacsi=W6qWceuXNkgVNwoI My buddy did this test of different solutions and he found out that dishwasher pods in pure water was by far the cheapest solution and worked really well for most stuff so that's what I mostly use.

[@marcusgreif9340]

Any chance we will get an update on the house build?

[@AustinCoulson]

Not for a while. The other channel fell flat after I lost that footage and stopped releasing videos. I'm still filming the build but I don't have plans at the moment for editing and releasing the footage until it's totally done. It's getting there, though. Probably have another 6 months left to finish it

[@2brokegamers664]

My dad has an impressive collection of bikes from the 80s, including a Honda 350 three-wheeler, a Honda Fat Cat, and an '86 Kawasaki Tukati 250 two-stroke, bored over to a 282. This Kawasaki is incredibly fast, easily outpacing a stock Banshee. We used to have a two-stroke three-wheeler, but he sold it when I was a kid. We also had a Husqvarna 430 from the 80s, bored to a 500 two-stroke. It had a left-side kick start, which is unusual for us bikes Euro bikes am i right lol. The compression was so high that my dad once broke his foot trying to kick it over. It was so tall that even our 6’4" friend could barely flat-foot it. Eventually, we traded it for an '85 V8 BMW. Growing up, we had a lot of “toys,” but the one that landed my dad in the ICU was a 350 Warrior with a .33 big bore kit, making it a 383 four-stroke with lighter suspension and a full FMF exhaust. It was a beast. One day, he and his buddy went riding to see which was faster, the 282 two-stroke or the Warrior. Unfortunately, my dad wasn’t wearing a helmet. As he came up behind his friend Chad, who was riding the 282, his front tire tapped Chad’s back tire. This sent my dad flying about 20 feet in the air before he hit the ground and slid for about 60 yards on pea gravel. He ended up with a broken nose, collarbone, 13 staples in his forehead, and road rash all over his body. The injuries and the staples caused him to lose his long hair. He got me my first gas 4wheeler at 4 yrs old it looked like a blue truck lol. Had way more than just that one though

[@stevehuber1586]

Two wheel riding. This was my teen years. Also now I have kids and would never let him ride this. Didn't realize how dangerous these were at the time 😮

[@AustinCoulson]

100%. I can't believe I used to tear around on this thing in 5th gear. I think they are great for putting around, but they are so unstable at high speeds

[@jotownzer473]

Bad ass!

[@GingerPiston]

Question: is there a technical name for those parallel pressed lines you made on the new fenders? I assume they add strength/rigidity, like dimple a die ?

[@AustinCoulson]

Beadrolls. I use an Eastwood beadroller with a motor attachment. I use a different die on the front fender for the lip. This is one of my favorite tools as it can do all kinds of wonderful things to sheetmetal

[@GingerPiston]

@@AustinCoulson cheers!

[@joeatchison3038]

Definitely get someone to pin stripe it

[@TheSteveAS]

On the 185cc, I'd like to see you stick with period-appropriate styling and treatments. Please don't do the bedliner paint job! Maybe do a cool purple candy flake paint like an old Meyers Manx VW or Samba dune buggy, complete with chrome grab bars and cargo rack!!

That's not a bad idea. It is already missing the air box and it would be fun to put an old school performance muffler on it

Restomod all the things! Edit: won't it make it even more dangerous if you swap the squishy plastic parts for steel bodywork 😅 Edit 2: it turned out great with that pain

[@AustinCoulson]

I thought about my foot getting caught under there, so I made the metal go down a little farther than the plastic and moved it forward a little closer to the pegs, but there's always a real risk of injury on these lil death traps, that's why they stopped making them.
