Superb work. There’s something so satisfying about watching someone who knows what they’re doing just get on with it. No American sensationalisation because they changed an oil filter, just work done properly. Looking forward to more!
Currently binge-watching this CR restoration and enjoying it very much. In particular I really enjoy seeing you restore original parts and components, much better than some other channels where they just throw £££ at new stuff. Your approach really showcases your mad skills! And that classic white Impreza that keeps appearing in the background 😍😍
An absolute pleasure watching you work. I've worked as a tire changer in an automotive garage, and I've been changing dirt bike tires with tire irons and blade screw drivers since I was a boy but I've never seen a dirt bike tire changed on a turn table, very slick. Looking forward to seeing the completion of the bike, the perfect year and model in my opinion! Cheers lad!
Watching you redo the wheel bearings reminds me when I did my first ever set and forgot to put the spacer tubes back in🙄. Realised soon enough and with several condemnations of my ineptitude I soon had them in 😂
Good tip coming from a Honda motorcycle mechanic, when installing the wheelspacers into the oil seals, try to push as much grease you can between the wheelbearing and oil seal. Keeps the seals well lubricated so they last way longer and don’t tend to wear out as much, which would mean that dirt and debris can get behind the seal. But as always love the video’s, your workspirit, quality jobs!! Keep up the good work!
Great job in the rims and tires! They look factory fresh. I used to chainge my tires on the floor in the garage with nothing but a couple of tire irons. I always used a generous sprinkling of talcum powder to help the tube slide into place. Thanks for sharing, it brings back a lot of memories. Have a great day. Jeff
You are really dominating Ronald Finger. You already have track days on your sports bike and are almost through a dirtbike. I think he is still running carb cleaner through his Kawasaki.
Love this channel I just found it I’m rebuilding a Kawasaki kx250 89 and it is a great help you are a wizard of what you do 😂 love watching and you have a eye for protection if my bike turns out half the way this one has I would be very happy thank you for taken the time to share with us
Thank you so much :) Nothing ventured nothing gained ;) get an old wheel strip it to component form then rebuild it you'll find it very enjoyable well if you can get all the nipples undone that is haha.
Wow, they look pretty spectacular indeed especially with the Maxxis, great choice. Lacing up wheels looks a real artform to me and something I could only dream of doing. Great episode, looking forward to the next one......
Deeply satisfying, as always! I've built and trued a few bike wheels (pedal and motor) over the years, I always used a marker or 'sharpie' (whiteboard or permanent) to highlight runout, it makes it so easy (erase the mark instantly with a swipe of a wet finger or cloth). Got to the point I could get off a pedal bike, sit it upside-down and true a wheel perfectly in minutes without even letting the tyres down (assuming I had the spoke key and marker with me). Of all mechanicing jobs, I found it to be one of the most satsifying.
Nice tip, i think I'll try that next time as I'm always terrified of scratching the rim with the pointer. It is a very satisfying job when you know what you're doing :)
@@RRCRestoration If you hold the marker in your hand (with your palm braced against the jig, bike frame, whatever), the give in your fingers means get a mark that varies from barely visible to a thick line. I guess you could solidly mount it, but this way you end up with longer sequences of spokes to tweak precisely indicated around the the entire circumference as the mark fades in and out. I'm actually surprised it isn't the way everyone does it!
The work you do is really perfect, I congratulate you on that. But you don't seem to care much about the products you have.😄 Please renew the tool bags, tool drawers and cabinets you use.👏👏👌👌
Just did this too - I envy your press, plating and new spokes - hand sanded & polished mine and it took me freaking hours - love seeing this done right by you :-)
At 3:00, warning, there could be 2 different spoke lengthes for inside and external spokes depending on the radius on witch is located the heads of the spokes on the hub.
Yup pretty much, No doubt by the time its finished I'll have spent more than the bike is worth but it'll be worth it to have maybe the only concourse 86 CR250 in Britain :)
excellent work again my friend,i wish i could snap my fingers and get a rear knobbly on like that haha,im normally kneeling down outside swearing with sore knees and tire levers.haha
Good job mate. You teaching this old dog new tricks!!🤣 Hope the views have picked up. Should be back next month on Patereon things are getting better. Hang in there. Cheers
so nice !! ....as always i know before that watching your new video will be so much pleasure and, as always, your new video is more than expectations. Seriously the best i have seen...thank you for sharing !
Nice job lacing the wheels, I've laced mountain bike wheels a few times but never MX wheels. Another great video, bike's going to be really nice, looking forward to the episode when we hear it fire up and see it running.
They look phenomenal man. 1/10 of a style point deducted for not lining up tyre logos with valves cores 😁 but thats my OCD kicking in from mtb’s. I cant wait for this to be to be complete!
Hi, yeah i forgot to mention that in the video, if you look at the video at 6:47 you'll see a black rubber block this is called a rim lock and that's what the extra bolt is, when the tyre is fitted the bolt is tightened and that pulls the block against the tyre locking it to the rim so it cant spin and rip the valve neck out of the inner tube.
oh man, your work is incredible, I always enjoy the videos and the level of detail of the works. Pojopy Paraguay 🇵🇾 guive (Greetings from Paraguay in guaraní). Sorry, me english Is bad 😂
Beautiful work, as always! This is one of the very few places in my world where I can see something done to perfection!
Thank you so much :)
Honda should hire you to train technicians. Anyone who can make a 1980's dirt bike look like this should be a boss.
I’m only on #6 of the CR250R, but gotta say it’s one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while - super well done!!
Superb work. There’s something so satisfying about watching someone who knows what they’re doing just get on with it. No American sensationalisation because they changed an oil filter, just work done properly. Looking forward to more!

That young man is a fine art that so many people just don’t bother learning. Probably the most therapeutic job of building a bike. Job well done fella
Thank you so much for that comment :)

Talent , hard work and OCD combined , in one person !!! Can't think of another way to describe you sir
Well done!!!
Honda will be looking to purchase this for their heritage collection!!
Absolutely perfection bud 👍🏼
Really great job. And George is alive and fight together with us. Ciao
What a fantastic and thorough job you're doing. Great to watch. It's going to turn out beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Those came out great! Never thought i'd enjoy a concourse restoration on a dirt bike. But here i am!
Thank you so much, glad you are enjoying it :). I see your channel is growing nicely really happy to see you've found your niche :)
Didn't expect for wheels to use only 14psi. Nice work as always. Looking pristine.
Great to watch as usual and nice to see the vise making an appearance in the background. 👍🇦🇺

Hi Jeff Thanks for watching and commenting. I know the pain of tire irons all too well ah the joys of having a tire machine now :)
Outstanding sir can’t wait to see the bike finished. Hope you do a video with you out on the bike..
wow , lacing those wheels would scare me !! well done they look brand new !
You are really dominating Ronald Finger. You already have track days on your sports bike and are almost through a dirtbike. I think he is still running carb cleaner through his Kawasaki.
Wheely enjoyed this episode....sorry couldn't resist!! Highlight of the week/month as always on YT 👍👌

I gather many information on how to work on my bike from watching all your videos! Really beneficial!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Glad i can help you out my friend :)
@@RRCRestoration Glad to have you who always inpire people and share the processes of rebuild many things
Man I absolutely love your videos, so relaxing to watch, amazing camera work and incredible skill level on the actual restos! Subscribed, obviously!
Those wheels are just awsome. Wish I was brave enough to go to those levels of restoration. All I did was replace the wheel bearings.
Thank you so much :) Nothing ventured nothing gained ;) get an old wheel strip it to component form then rebuild it you'll find it very enjoyable well if you can get all the nipples undone that is haha.

Worst bit is they are probably going to go orange in under a year if you’ve done that.
@@TheSmartStar Hi Connor - can I ask why?
Great! Can’t wait to see the final assembly!
At 3:00, warning, there could be 2 different spoke lengthes for inside and external spokes depending on the radius on witch is located the heads of the spokes on the hub.
Wheels turned out awesome...
Wheels look great. You really do an excellent bit of work. 👍🏼
you really do have a great channel, its a good day when rrc uploads

Brilliant channel 👍🏻
Thank you kindly :)
Amazing work! I absolutely love your channel!
Dude. Love watching your vids. They're always top notch. But I love listening as well 😁. Dulcet tones brother 👉👂 😂. 😎
Odd tire sizes they used back in time...
:-D
Thx for showing some more great work!
:-D
Looks like another great restoration in the pipeline,money no object again....
Yup pretty much, No doubt by the time its finished I'll have spent more than the bike is worth but it'll be worth it to have maybe the only concourse 86 CR250 in Britain :)
This series is incredible! Thank you sir
Great Work !! They turned out Awesome!!👍😁
Great job on the wheels! Really looking forward to the completed bike!

Seriously, this is an awesome job ! Keep it up ! 😎
Thank you! Will do! :)
excellent work again my friend,i wish i could snap my fingers and get a rear knobbly on like that haha,im normally kneeling down outside swearing with sore knees and tire levers.haha
Beautifully done Sir! ✌️🍻
Thank you! Cheers!
That was tedious, well done. The end result looks amazing.
Brilliant job! They look better than new.
Thanks so much, Always nice to hear from you :)
The wheels look amazing, well done RRC!

so nice !! ....as always i know before that watching your new video will be so much pleasure and, as always, your new video is more than expectations. Seriously the best i have seen...thank you for sharing !
Can't wait for it all to come together. Good job!
Same here :)
I had no idea so much could be done to a wheel and make such a difference in its appearance and apparent mechanical integrity.
yup, the biggest upgrade was changing from steel spoked to stainless steel, no corrosion and a lot stronger than the stock ones.
Looking great, can't wait for the next instalment... keep up the good work.
Ooo!! They look kinda pretty in gold. 😎
Great video, the wheels look fantastic 👍
Beautiful work mate but not lining up the tyre logo directly opposite the valve has put my OCD into overdrive! 🧐😂😂
I really enjoyed. Thank you
Great job on the wheels, man! Top work, as always! Keep it up! 👍
Immaculate attention to detail as always 👌🏻🏴
Thank you! Cheers! :)
Great job man as usual!!!
Spot on, fabulous job as usual

Trying my best to get a video per week out from now on ;)
Love your work 👍
They are very pretty! Great job thanks dude!
Thank you so much :)

They look wheely good!
I'll get my coat...😝
Extraordinario como los demás vídeos. Que ganas de verla terminada. Gracias!!!
Wheels look fantastic, dont fancy doing it myself though 👍
Binge watching videos now but what a channel top draw
On the rims there's the valve sticking through on one side then what's the bolt looking thing sticking through on the other side?

this looks so good!

Conjunto de rodas e pneus lindos que estão na Thumbnail. Parabéns. Lindo demais.
