Mistakes I made Restoring My Classic Honda Monkey bike

Great video , looks factory new, thanks for sharing.

Glad you enjoyed it. I am very happy with it, now time to enjoy the final result 👍🏻

Great job. Details like the zinc plated original nuts and bolts for the wheels make it extra special. The chain clip is on backwards at 8:00 .

[@MasonsWorkshop]

@@Monkeyboy2457 I couldn’t agree more, it’s all in the detail. Thanks for notifying about the chain clip!

Lovely, the Oem Honda oil capacity decals are still available for the clutch casing

[@MasonsWorkshop]

thank you, I will have to get these added! I did in fact miss a few other decals after having it painted!

Wow looks absolutely amazing! Really goes to show what a little painting and restoration can do! Great vid keep up the work.

[@MasonsWorkshop]

Thank you ! I have to say that the fresh paint makes the biggest difference. You really forget what the original colour looks like after many years in the sun! Thanks for watching

Looks great mate! Wish you could restore my 2 Honda z50’s up for me. Thought it was great how you kept the original parts and had them treated and refitted. Everything you did was to a very high standard, very professional. Credit to you my friend. Love your work. Spot on.

[@MasonsWorkshop]

Thanks Paul! Really appreciate the kind comments. If I had the time I would love to restore yours.... haha! I do still need to finish my K0 CT70 though! Thankyou for supporting the videos, its much appreciated!

Super nice job on the bike. Love this channel. I’m working on a 1968 Z50A right now. This helps out a lot. thanks

[@MasonsWorkshop]

Great video. Love the finished bike!

[@MasonsWorkshop]

Many thanks! I am glad you like it

[@scottmcboone2442]

Great job i may tackle one of these myself... but why didnt you replace the regular nut on the head stud with an acorn nut?

[@MasonsWorkshop]

@@scottmcboone2442 hey there, fun project. From factory these bikes came with one regular nut on the cylinder head hence me keeping as close to factory as possible!

[@scottmcboone2442]

@@MasonsWorkshop Thanks man, again great job!

[@essexhognose1808]

Looks very well done

[@MasonsWorkshop]

Many thanks, it’s taken a while but I think it’s worth it!

[@dhumpherson]

This might have been mentioned in one of your other videos, but what colour code 'red' did you use for the tank and farings?

[@MasonsWorkshop]

Tahitian red R-23!

[@dcxplant]

Are those parts painted from the factory?

[@MasonsWorkshop]

@@dcxplant Hey, based on research and a friend who restores these for a living, yes they are👍🏻 and if not they definitely look better painted 😀

[@dcxplant]

@@MasonsWorkshop Thank you!! I have a '69 and a '78, this was great content. Thanks again.

[@MasonsWorkshop]

@@dcxplant thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy it

[@Dave-fr6si]

I don’t think the wheel hubs were painted ex works.

[@MasonsWorkshop]

I am not 100 percent sure either, but I was told by a lot of people that painted was the closest to factory. from the pictures they dont look rough enough in pictures to be left raw.
