THE VALUE OF USED PLASTIC FOR RESTORATION! - RM 125 1982.

[@EricBanner571]

Excellent work. most people won’t understand the time, skill and patience required just to complete even the smallest of details on a build like this.

[@djantix1200]

Brilliant job on the mud guard! That worked great!

[@xipingpooh5783]

Enjoying every minute of this👍🏼

[@seancraig1832]

Hi Rob, great work with the rear shock guard. A little bit like me using what I can find to make stuff out of. I found that some yellow wall plugs I was using at work are a pretty good match to use to fill holes in my mudguards with. 🤠

[@cbadnc9040]

So cool that you use what you have!!! Well done!!!! You are a bad ass!!!!

Hi rob, Those plastic guards are just fantastic, they would be hard to tell apart from the oem ones iam sure, just a joy to watch and always wondering what other parts you are going to recreate is fantastic to see👍

[@impulse_guy_22]

Rob...Rob...thats possibly the best turd polishing I've seen on youtube. From shower tray to unobtainable part. I am so happy to have found your channel!

Love your work, thinking outside the box to fix rare parts. I've been watching your channel for a while now lurning alot about the RM. I've got a 1980 mod 250 almost complete only missing rear guard and muffler. I'll start a reso very soon. 😁👍 cheers from Tasmania

I purchased a new RM125X in 1981 . You are doing great in your builds , it’s a shame that the Radiators are so mashed up .

[@MyRestoration1]

@@whosahberg maybe in the video they look bad but they are good. When I detail I’ll look at this. There is still a lot to do..

[@steveturner8840]

Really quite jealous of the fact you have the opportunity to do these restorations but very grateful you share the experience 👍🏻 just a thought if when you bend the plastic at 90degrees you could only expose 6mm of the plastic to the heat it might be easer to get a cleaner bend, like over a toaster with a thinner gap or something similar 🤔

[@randywilbur3189]

Amazing work as usual. I dont know if you know who Carson Brown is but he posted a short today of him absolutely ripping an 81' RM125 and I immediately thought of you when I saw it. Keep up the great work

[@MyRestoration1]

Just watched it. Brilliant. Balanced power to handling 👍

Lookin' Good !

[@HT-io1eg]

The plastics!!! Gobsmacked!!!

[@jimspeed1388]

Great work on making the plastics but please get some flush cutters for the zip ties or at least cut them flush with a blade as the sharp ends can cut skin badly, but still excellent work.

[@MyRestoration1]

@@jimspeed1388 good idea. I’ll probably get to all the detailing at the end anyway but I’ll bear that in mind

[@ulrich.hoffmann]

Are the white zip ties original? Black ones would look better in my opinion

[@MyRestoration1]

@@ulrich.hoffmann That’s how they did it at Suzuki. It’s part of the ‘look’ of this model

[@richardvandervoort]

Hi Rob you just gave me an idea for the material I need to make the sidecover isolation plates that are missing on the Yamaha SRX 600 i'm working on.

[@MyRestoration1]

Great! Go skip diving it’s a lot cheaper than new plastic 👍

[@andy-pk2pe]

Great job of transforming that old plastic tray. Did you run out of black cable ties?

[@MyRestoration1]

Thank you. I’ve got a feeling I’m going to be asked about the white ties a lot. Ask Suzuki!

[@biciclistaus]

Why White Zip ties? You are doing such a great job I'm learning so much for my projects!

[@MyRestoration1]

That’s how they came. I would never do this unless it’s what was factory

[@GleepGlop2]

Part of the resto should be recreating period correct riding gear! I feel like you'd have a knack for that as well being able to make the decals.

Waiting for the enfield video 😢😢

[@darrengraves5230]

Excellent What is the RM125 to you ? Did you have one or wanted one

[@MyRestoration1]

Good question! I will tell the story in the summary video but seeing as you ask, in 1988 ish I rebuild an 82’ which was a wreck and I never forgot it. I sold it regrettably and now in true style I’m recreating it 3 fold!

[@spatchist]

Re: the Smiths tacho drive gears , would it be simpler to get them made ? I know that finding some would be easier, but there are plenty of people capable of fabricating them from drawings etc. The actual housing could likely be 3D metal printed with enough scanning . I know these suggestions don't really fit with the type of restoration you're doing, but it's an option for the 'impossible' parts.

[@MyRestoration1]

I guess we will see what lengths I’m going to go to complete this part. Adventure!
