Restoration of Old rusted Motorcycle Shock

Restoration of Old rusted Motorcycle Shock

[@cspark9186]

Great! Now you have a newly painted set of worn out standard shocks. Standard rear shocks are not much good when they're new.

[@tinymotogarage]

That's what "restoration" means. If he was changing them, it would say "Replacing shocks" ...

[@cspark9186]

@@tinymotogarage Well, restoration means to restore. Not to paint over. Painting over a worn out rusty pipe for example, is not restoration.

[@tinymotogarage]

@@cspark9186 ​ Disassembly (2:00), clean (4:20), prep/strip (5:25), paint/finish (7:05), and reassembly (8:25) is the definition of moto restoration. I didn't see prime or clear, but maybe it was not shown. I'm not a fan of painting springs but whatever. Very few renew damper internals (specialty) and I bet this is a small road-use bike that doesn't need it. So what did they miss for restoration?

[@cspark9186]

@@tinymotogarage The shock absorbers needed replacing as I just did on my old R60/5 BMW.

Wasted my time ... just a clean up and cheap $2 can of paint, job. What about the hydraulics, (oil) ? Have to give him a 10 out of 10 for his efforts

[@fernandonoronha470]

brother, this is restoration? no brother, you just make clean n paint. 😀 like a cosmetic apart

[@OldManTony]

You might as well have chucked them away afterwards, they might look good, but would perform no better than they were before!

[@forevercomputing]

They just corrode slower.

Yeah...if you can't fix it right, paint it! That fixes everything, right? Unbelievable!

[@evanshoulders3674]

[@brufnus]

@@hodaka1000 Well, if they're going to a museum, yes. If they're going to be installed on a bike, it's a waste of time. I'd rather have a chock absorber that looks ugly and performs great, than the other way around.

[@hodaka1000]

@@brufnus At the moment I have three new boxed sets of shocks and an excellent second hand set as spares but if you had nothing else or nothing better while waiting to find or afford replacements there is nothing wrong with what he has done I found the bike in my profile photo rusting away in the jungle in Far North Queensland in 1987 for $25 Some people don't know shit from clay

[@pupi149]

Amigo no desarmaste la parte hidráulica y así no es. Te cuento que el líquido hay que cambiarlo porque se calienta al trabajar, por lo tanto se destruye. Además hay otros componentes que hay que ver como están. Esto es solo para demostrar que sabés pintar.

[@fernandonoronha470]

Pupi 1 claro hermano😅

[@d.sanguino]

Estoy de acuerdo la parte hidráulica es lo más importante, así no tiene caso pintarla, es como cuando un chacharero pinta su chatarra para venderla como buena

you cant restore something dead by putting paint on it

[@luciaaraujo2412]

You should have replaced the spring, bushing, dampers and covers.

[@gntdriver2840]

or just bought new replica shocks?

[@marcoeligibile1628]

Innanzitutto complimenti, ottimo lavoro..!! Però vorrei capire il senso di questa riparazione.. voglio dire, farlo per se stessi ha un senso..! Ma ai fini commerciali non ha molto senso, troppo lavoro per restaurare oggetti che da nuovi costeranno all’incirca il medesimo costo della manodopera impiegata da te..!

[@eduardoolivares7964]

¿y la reparación de la parte interna del amortiguador?

[@areffaffeq8950]

What are you doing? That is trash! Not like restoretion... Take note

Very interesting! They'd do until you found something better 👍

[@hodaka1000]

Did you make the spring compressor?

[@marcoeligibile1628]

first of all congratulations, great job .. !! But I would like to understand the meaning of this repair .. I mean, doing it for yourself makes sense ..! But for commercial purposes it doesn't make much sense, too much work to restore objects that when new will cost approximately the same cost as the labor employed by you ..!

[@RescueRestorationOfficial]

Yes, you are right

[@MuhammadArshad-kv2wo]

[@wmoto3771]

Painting parts from a spray can is not a restoration, but hammering silent blocks with a hammer is generally horrible. :(

[@gntdriver2840]

nearly all old style shock absorbers that have dampers such as this type are not dismantleable/rebuildable and therfore can only be restored cosmetically, not that i would call a session with a wire wheel attached to a bench grinder and a couple of cans of spray paint a 'restoration'

[@RescueRestorationOfficial]

hamen sahi tarika bata de

[@ddaattrroonn]

How did you determine what seals and dampening oil to use? What is the longevity of that chrome in a can? Is this a service you provide, and if so, please provide prices and an address to send our highly prized shocks for the complete restoration/ rebuild service. Do you also do revalving for the riders weight and intended use?

[@albirdie1630]

dude there is no oil change in this vid, and not all shocks can be opened

[@hookfinger8222]

Should have left them in the ground

[@jeffball6108]

Are you serious? I'd suggest you learn exactly what the word restoration actually means because this isn't it.

[@hodaka1000]

Most modern shock absorbers are sealed units and can not be fully rebuilt Didn't you know that?

All you brilliant characters criticizing this video actually note it says restoration not reconditioning or refurbishment ? so merely cosmetic and not part replacement or resealing ?

[@RescueRestorationOfficial]

ok

[@devolvedspud6101]

So what is the point in cleaning and painting shock absorbers which are obviously not going to do their intended job correctly ? Making them look pretty does not make them effective suspension elements ! These are dangerous and should be thown away.
