[@itsmephil2255]

A father/son project is a beautiful thing, and a great memory

Couldn't say it better myself!

Well done both of you,family help,how it should be, Dad / Son working together, hope you're still enjoying your ER5. Stay safe.

[@MrApelboom]

Absolutely awesome job! I cannot wait for a driving video going over the experience!

[@MillerCorner]

Thanks dude 😁

[@davidarter9670]

As a son of a disinterested father I am more than envious that you did such a project with your dad. Fantastic job, Joe. I hope you keep this bike for a long time and get an enormous amount of pleasure from it.

[@MillerCorner]

Thanks David, this project really meant a lot! The Kawasaki is with me for life now 😁

[@SamuelJasek]

Looks gorgeous man, awesome job!

[@jamesconnors4297]

very nice work...but i would have refreshed the radiator fan as well tbh

[@danielmoore2475]

I remember watching this the first time around and thinking that colour scheme works so well. I saw a H1 a few years back that had been done similarly. My full test was on a ER5, I used to love the lessons riding around on that.

[@MillerCorner]

They're an awesome bike, thanks man 😁

[@JSunday45]

Can you buy replacement bolts? I think I will have to change some bolts. Specialy on the breakes.

[@wunderarnebjarne]

The bike looks lovely! I have a low mileage ER-5 myself that needs some TLC, paint and chrome quality is horrible on this bike so it needs a full cosmetic makeover (rust everywhere). After watching your video I think I will get the frame and swingarm sandblasted and possibly powdercoated though :)

[@MillerCorner]

Good man! Best of luck :D

[@dave0992]

Thats a real nice colour you went for! its tempting me to refresh the ER-5 2000 model ive just gotten hold of for work.

[@MillerCorner]

Do it, good man!

[@steviewarehouse6231]

Fantastic job guys! Man i wish i had the skills to restore my ER-5 :(

[@MillerCorner]

Nothing you can't learn with some research and practice! I'm an idiot with no qualifications or mechanical abilities, I just had a go! :D

[@mark70s29]

Watched first time.. still excellent now though:) Im too old/sick for a real bike,,but quite fancy an old school moped as a project for the summer..

[@MillerCorner]

Do it! Great bit of cheap fun that you can tinker on :D

[@dietznutz1]

You seem to be the most involved guy with these small fiat engines, could you tell me, would a 16v head from another 1242 FIRE fit on to my 1242cc 8v fire engine? It makes 69hp in its stock form, ahh if there was a way to get it up to around the 85hp mark that would be amazing ?!

[@MillerCorner]

Probably not - totally different wiring loom, ECU and electronic throttle :/ if it was easily and cheaply doable, I'd have done it!

[@dietznutz1]

@MillerCorner yeah I thought that would be the case 👍

[@seebarry4068]

You sir have inspired me to get off my arse and get my er5 mot’d.

[@MillerCorner]

Thanks Barry, good luck! 😁

[@Iustin-GabrielBujor]

How can you drive it if A2 limit is 35 kW of power and the bike has 37?

[@israelnowgo]

yout video help me a lota peace from israel and thank you sir

[@seebarry4068]

5:33 did you miss the pile of bright orange buckets?

[@UNCLECHEF69]

this is the video i needed to see, going to sort my own ER5 out after it being backseated for an SV1000s for over a year! ps, where did you get your new radiator & fan? that’s my main part i need!

[@MillerCorner]

Good man, good luck! The radiator was from a bike parts place (just Google "Kawasaki ER5 Radiator") and the fan was second hand off a Facebook group 😁
