SIMPLE RESTORE GUIDE TO.. - Honda CR500 1987

#Honda CR500 #1987 Honda CR500
This week features tips and tricks to restoring a Honda CR500r.
So another worthwhile project hits the screen. No less the beast, a 'Man bike', Cancelled in the name of safety, What ever you want to call it. This is the last un-restricted crazy idea from Honda to produce a bike you simply can't use to it's full potential. Dull 4 stroke restricted racing still sees the CR500 2 stroke competing and winning in many unrestricted races after 30+ years of so-called- development. I want one. I want it in a glass case just to know I have something that belongs to another age.
Lets see if it is up to the hype..

I raced a stock 84 500r, and it was a brute..Honda makes some long lasting fun bikes..💪🤠

[@Gazza_Roo_Too]

Mate of mine did the Desert 1000 (500km x 2 days) back in the 80's on one of these. Thing was insane, I rode it a bit and it might well just have been a unicycle cos that front wheel did not want to be anywhere else but up in the air in any gear. Vasbyt !!!!

Great workshop practice as usual!

[@ianl4518]

Looking great so far!

[@bluesplayer59]

Jaco pastorus in the background I think 🤔 how bloody marvellous!!

[@MyRestoration1]

Isn’t it sad that we are the music freeks 🙄

[@bluesplayer59]

@MyRestoration1 Music is in my blood . I have classic fm on period but love the Steely Dan / Jazz grooves you kick out every now and then . Quality machine restoration demands quality music anyway 👌

[@MyRestoration1]

@@bluesplayer59I was playing the group Yellow Jackets btw but of course Jaco gets too spot on bass. Check out ‘4am’ by Herbie Hancock. Turn it up..possibly my fav J session..

We had our atc 250r tank hydro dipped and it came out like your rear fender it was incredible. When we sent it out it was sanded down to 1500 grit

[@MyRestoration1]

Hydro dipped..That’s paint right?

[@sethhoffman8149]

Excited to see you getting into electroplating parts! Thats going to give you a lot more options for restoring hardware on future projects.

[@MyRestoration1]

That's the plan!

[@mikef.1000]

Lovely work indeed!

[@MyRestoration1]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@peternaur]

I love this project SO MUCH! It is moving along at a great pace, well done man!

[@MyRestoration1]

Thanks 🙏 . Yes it’s a real time pace setter for me. Hopefully done this November if all goes well 😅

[@drewdrew1000]

Always a pleasure seeing a new episode in my feed, great work. May I ask the name of the silica based epoxy that you used? Cheers

[@MyRestoration1]

It’s home made. West systems with a west systems filler and bond powder 50/50 mix. It goes like butter. I didn’t use silica sand in the end as I felt it would sheer under pressure. Let’s see..

[@crdirt1]

I’m in need of a kick start lever for my 1987 cr 500

[@MyRestoration1]

You will notice mine is an 88. Could not find an OEM. Try JCracing uk based. He has a replacement one which I think is in the video. It wasn’t better then what I had so sent it back. Quite acceptable if you are stuck

[@ZafiraSteve]

FIRST

[@TNTMOTO]

Where did you get the wheels? i am in need of a set

[@MyRestoration1]

Good luck! The rear rim I picked up in California from the same guy I got the tank from. I have a front. Pm me to contact him if he has bits. I’m looking for the engine head hangers…

[@TNTMOTO]

@MyRestoration1 ok I think there is a place in Oregon that has rims that are close. I will have to go with them.

[@MyRestoration1]

@@TNTMOTO perfect 👍

[@MrMachacker]

The original rims for these were not DID but actually Tagasako rims

[@MyRestoration1]

Really? I’ve only ever seen DID pale gold for the 87. Can’t speak for the other models. I’ll look into this. Thanks for chipping it 👍

[@GoogleUser-lu6oe]

My all original 87 CR500 has DID rims. @@MyRestoration1

[@crdirt1]

Should be did rims

[@volvogt21]

You said super super lucky re rims but never explained

[@MyRestoration1]

I’ll explain in the next video 👍

I like your films but I'm unsubscribing from all the channels I follow due to KZbin's incoming adblocker policy. I don't want to be tracked and I don't want malware delivered via ads.

Thanks for the heads up..I do it for the enjoyment so check on every now and again your hits still help the channel..

[@ianl4518]

I don't mean to disadvantage the content makers but I feel pretty strongly about it. I hope YT sees sense. I can't avoid the ads on my smart TV but I don't mind that, as I can't be at risk on the tv but would rather not have them on my laptop. I'm hoping some kind of collective message gets back to YT but I'm not sure they'll care!

[@TimH123]

What ads?
