    this is probably the first bike build vid I ever saw, and immediately messaged one of my friends who has a passion for motorcycles. Dude taught me to drive and brought me to multiple motorcycle expos and events. We lost him last September of 2018. He will be missed.

      I didn't remove them because I didn't paint the tank, it is platidip, a rubber coating that can me removed. I wanted to keep the stickers to give a kind of shape to the platidip it was intentional lol. And also that way I could go back to stock tank design if I wanted to

    My father would be very impressed with your work! (as am i) i grew up in a biker house, bikes where in are blood. My father would often turn up with a hunk of junk and spend many hours stripping it down and rebuilding it. Great job love the old school/cafe racer style of bikes (its what my father was into back in the 80's) I have subscribed! Love from Liverpool UK.

Youre vidéo motivated me a lot and it helps me visualize my goal. Thanks for youre video and congrats for your beautiful model. From France :)

    nice simple, seemingly low budget build. I see a lot of builds where people spend thousands of dollars and scrutinize over every detail so it’s cool to see you using a hacksaw and spray paint among other things to still build a bike that looks pretty damn nice

    • @TahitianRider

    You did a great job on your bike ! VVe dont get any 2 cylinder 125cc models here in the USA so its nice getting to see the models that Honda offers in other countries .I had a 1978 CB400T2 for almost a decade . It got converted into a retro Mini-VVing vv/an old Craig Vetter fairing , a trunk, saddlebags & a crash bar . It vvas comfortable & like all Hondas , Reliable . The only thing I'll suggest to you is that you eventually put the front fender back on the bike . I've removed mine @ one time & after having to ride through the rain & then having loose gravel get throvvn right into my face @ 50mph I realised that no matter hovv cool it looked , fenders are vvorth having. That said I vvish you many years of safe & fun riding & if you ever build another bike please post that video as you did a great job .

    you can tell a lot of love went into this project, lots of other people would have skipped some steps just to make it look cool, but he went the extra mile, putting the extra time, love, effort & money into making it a better machine, instead of just making it look better.
