This restoration/customizing stuff is awesome man. Dude I swear, every time I work on a bike of mine and start painting something I've removed it gives me the same satisfied feeling that I used to feel so often composing music & producing. It's so great breaking everything apart and having your way with it as an artist and then once it's done you can stand back....look and listen to the creation like, "Yeah I did That!" ....idk

[@BamaTraveller]

Something gratifying about watching an engine get degreased, roughed, primed and painted. My therapy today. Thanks!

[@daves4yah]

Nicely done Sir, you're a very patient person and thorough work always pays off. Whoever wins this Moto will be very appreciative of your efforts and attention to detail. I'm diggin' it! Cheerz!

[@BC-vi2iy]

Top job mate. The heat here in Australia at the moment is making it hard to work on the bikes through the day, so always good watching your channel whilst I wait for it to cool off.

[@prestondaniels8451]

I hope to see an in depth tuning video when you get to that point. I tried diligently to run pods on my 78 cb750 and no matter what jets I tried it would not tune. Finally went back to the stock air box and she runs like a dream!! Looking awesome so far. Can’t wait for the next installment. 🤘🏻

[@Phukifino]

I must have got lucky. I have an 80 CB750 with pods. I did lots of research and got my jetting right on the first try.

[@prestondaniels8451]

I know there’s tons of folks out there who are able to get the pods to work. I just haven’t been one of the lucky ones.

[@ifihadaboat85]

Michael Tryzbiak hey, buddy! I have an ‘81 cb750c that I want to run pods on. Could you point me in the right direction for jetting? Thanks!

[@chchchscott1]

WOW, someone actually getting his hands dirty and doing cool work. All I see is couch potatos disrespecting him. 😔 Keep up the fun, build cool shit, ignore the trolls. 🤘

[@SCARED.PTSD.DAD...]

Man I congratulate you all the work and money that you put into this bike your patience and time is much appreciated to do the effort to make somebody happy is awesome keep doing the good work much appreciated and God bless🙏✌👍🍺🍺🍺🍀🍀🍀

[@Jaultaub]

I personally take the screws out before painting. I do not like the looks of screws painted to the parts and also if you have to take them out ever in the future you ruin the whole paint! Same goes for all the places the parts join. I either paint them seperately or mask the joining line off. Only exeption is the cylinder head.

[@Mafr0]

Great video, and whole series so far! Hate having to wait for the next episode though!

[@scottww6057]

Love your build series and this looks like it's going to be another good one!

Nice Work ! Cant wait to see how it turns out.. I almost bought that same diamond pattern tank for my 48 tank upgrade. I do like the look of it! Keep up the good work!

[@jolly.red.giant.]

Came out looking great. Can’t wait to mine

[@johnderekmitchell1510]

Dude I'm loving your builds. I'm wanting to attempt my own Bobber. Little 650s are all over Craigslist here. Newer Shadows but still.

thank u

[@masterofnonetv8361]

Spray bombing an engine always ages real well.

[@phil1333]

LOL!!! You said " it's really cold, it's in the 50's". That's not even close to cold. Anyway, great video. I learned a lot. Thanks.

[@yeeaahBUDDY]

He meant it's cold for spray painting. You should ideally spray paint in around 70-75 degrees and low humidity for best results.

[@briarfox637]

Only problem I see not painting parts separately is that when you take them off, covers, cylinder heads, etc. It'll mess up the finish when the seam is broken. Maybe not. I'd like to do a black base, with red accents.

[@himanshusoni849]

Can you please provide the link of the items you bought online?

[@MioDioWorks]

How many cans of primer and paint did you used on the engine? thanks

[@heyboss318]

This is so relaxing.

[@apex1080]

Simple green and a powerwash before all that elbow grass would do wonders but looking good so far brother!

[@BabyRandyRydeZ]

..those big kerosene or propane Jet heaters work good for that, & keep your whole Work Area warm..just push the Nozzle away while Spraying, then bring it Back..

[@tallboy2234]

Looks Good, Moto!👍😃

[@Ladosligese]

nice job .. the progress is awsome :D .. however .. i would hate to be the next guy to take that engine apart .. will chip all over the place , then again its a Honda .. it never breaks :D

[@camerondening6683]

I wanna fill in the Honda stamped in the clutch engine cover, do you think Bondo would hold up if it was used. Little Bondo over the honda stamp, sanded smooth and blacked out!! the Little details !! looks amazing either way tho

[@tigerward88]

Good motors the CB 650 looks great

[@wab1suke]

Great look on the paint job mate :)

50 degrees is cold?! Try -20 for a week with the wind. Looking good so far

[@runtylerrun3898]

Looking good!

[@wilko0310]

Hi There, looks great but got one question which may be a little daft but I didn’t see u paint the bits that are testing on the lift, was that as easy as repositioning the engine and filling in the missed bits? Cheers

[@michaeltheiss749]

I could take it apart easy but putting it all back in one piece that's another story.

[@slottedpig2253]

Would you apply that same primer if you were doing a high temperature wrinkle black? or just do the prep like you did and hop straight into the wrinkle?

[@nathanielselvidge4157]

Same question. Did you ever figure it out?

[@slottedpig2253]

@@nathanielselvidge4157 Never figured it out for sure. Read some forums and it was like 50/50 but nothing for certain

What's the paint you use and can you spray a mounted engine without damaging oil, petrol etc ? Nice btw

[@dadobojanic]

how does the paint hold???

[@jeffp.5080]

Is the black a high heat paint?

[@illduitmyself]

yes

[@zanisbordo2651]

Were those 2 spray cans enough for the whole job?

[@garagemaudaz]

Hi. I would like to know if the paint still O.K. after you started de engine.

[@Random-ed2xf]

That paint is made for high temperature and cures at high temps.

[@axa.axa.]

[@riktmg7330]

What are the best durable sprays to paint engine? What sparys did you use in this video? Could you please tell us?

[@DenvarShay]

VHT engine enamel is what he used, any high heat paint will do.

[@Xxmeca421xX]

I've got a little rare 86 rebel 450 that I'm building into a hardtail bobber. I'm going to paint my motor gloss black and want the jug fin edges to be the factory aluminum color. Should I tape them off or just sand off the fins and polish?

[@katsugi183]

Hard work indeed

[@markbutcher8717]

The diamond pattern tank is cool, where did you get that from

[@patrickstraley2284]

where did you get that tank?

[@dimitriramcharran1062]

Silver or black which one is better to spray with

[@axa.axa.]

looks good. but aren't the jugs powder coated? and you cant paint powder coat? Also how many cans did it take to do the job?

You are amazing

[@nwbklr]

Was just gonna ask, “Are ya wearin a mask?”. Was worried for a sec. lols

[@rikityrik]

Hey, enjoyed the vid. Restoring an old kart for my boys and was wondering how the paints held up?? Also, how big is that engine… Not incredibly familiar with bikes, but looks like it will throw you back a bit. 👍

[@MOTOPILOT6]

I no longer have the bike so not sure about paint durability. It's an old school Honda CB650

[@apex1080]

Ever try easyoff oven cleaner non scented? Does wonders try it you will bee amazed

[@kepreehamilton9402]

What paint did u use to prime and paint it

[@calysagora3615]

The primer he used is VHT engine enamel primer. Then he uses some kind of generic black heat-resistant paint, which seems wrong to me. The correct thing is to use 3-4 layers of the VHT engine enamel paint and then use VHT engine enamel clear coat. All of them heat persistent, but looks A LOT better than generic heat paint. Look up VHT engine enamel paints. They are the bench-mark for good engine paints that looks awesome.

[@nzkiwitwowheels4017]

How many coats did you do and did you put and clear on

[@edmorales2751]

Why didn’t he sand down the primer?? Thanks? ...?

[@johnblackburn7752]

how much orange peel did you have?

[@Fatyaqui]

Nice! That engine looks awesome! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.

[@bilif28]

hi, how many cans did it take please? Also do you need/use a clearcoat? great vid :)

[@gabrielcullenmusic6277]

Hey mate where do you get your fuel tanks from

[@fkingride.5500]

what primer did you use?

[@jakewood308]

can i use perma blue instead of paint on the engine?

[@calebthompson550]

what size bars did you use?

[@MOTOPILOT6]

They are 7/8" diameter and about 8" tall

Is he really painting a fully assembled engine? smh!!!

It's a Bobber, who actually gives a shit if the paint chips when he has to pop a cover? Bang another coat on when it goes back together and ride for another 10 years.

Spark plugs and all

[@LilBrotherWatches]

Wonder if he knows that using a torque wrench to undo fasteners brings the wrench out of calibration?

[@illduitmyself]

I wonder if he cares? used mien like that still works fine after many years

[@harrier331]

and how did you come to that conclusion? as long as you are not going past the torque limit of the werench how would using it to undo fasteners make it go out of calibration?

[@Running-with-skizers]

[@ifihadaboat85]

Anyone have any advice/guidance/info about how clean your motor really needs to be before primer and paint? I have an ‘81 CB750 that I’m doing a brat/cafe build out of and it probably hasn’t been washed in 40 years. I’m going over it with a mixture of dawn and simple green cleaner degreaser and using anything at my disposal to get to as much of it as possible. If a little bit of dirt and grease is let behind here and there, will that hurt it? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

[@FORSCHISHORD]

Ive got a honda rebel 450 engine I just prepped today. Im kind of anal about my shit, so I went to harbor freight and got a soda blaster and some of their fine grit soda and blasted the grime off it. get the cheap $30 one, it works just fine so long as you have at least a 1 horse compressor. Like yours, previous owner neglected it and probably never washed it, and it came out beautiful. Only took about 2 hrs and i was able to get every nook and cranny clean of debris. just make sure to plug every in/outlet before doing this, and once done just hose er off and blow the water off with compressed air. hope this helps!
