Wow, this brought back memories. A friend of mine in Dublin had one around the same year as this one.

Great video Tom. Any tips for cleaning tank inside?

[@tomcahill8506]

You can buy tank cleaning solutions and sealers on ebay

[@kennethmchugh7213]

@@tomcahill8506 Would you recommend one product over another? I just want to do a good clean, no need for seal.

Great video! What manual are you working off there? and where did you get it? I'm currently restoring a C90 and could do with one of those.

[@tomcahill8506]

I will look tomorrow. I bought it on eBay as far as I know.

[@tomcahill8506]

For the life of me I cannot find the Honda c50 book. I actually have a C90 Spare parts list from 1973 for €30 plus shipping if you are interested.

Nice Job Tom, are you sure it's 1980, looks more early 70s, the only part I can see is 80s is the exhaust

[@tomcahill8506]

Yes log book with it.

Was it a 100 link chain you installed Tom?

Hello, I am looking after the paint number for a NSU QUICKLY in green ... I did not find the two paint references, do you have the reference? thanks in advance

[@tomcahill8506]

Hi, The paint references relate to the original paint done in the NSU paint facility. The green colours are : Jade Green (57) Pale Green (84) . I have not found a RAL Colour to match the colours. Also i brought parts from the original bike with the best paint that i could find especially when you take off the engine, the colour on the frame is the original colour. I took them to a paint supplier and they scanned the paint on the frame into their computer and there software can determine the exact colour. I have also used spray cans from Holts auto spray paint. For Jade Green ,i have used Holts HDGR01 For pale Green, I have used Holts HGR00 Hope this helps.
