I am the grandson & son of original owners of Sandusky Motor Parts & the original dealer & seller of that Honda CT 70. We couldn’t be happier to see that bike still bringing joy happiness so may years later. We are also happy to see you restored our dealership sticker to pass down with the history of this bike for many more years to come. From the Ellis Family THANK YOU Raymond Ellis lll Ellis Family Motorcycle & ATV Repair Im sure Dad & Grandpa are looking down proudly 🙏 🙏
Your videos are excellent and davin is an excellent host. So glad to have an amazing high quality series like redline rebuilds. I love when you guys get more technical with things love learning various tips and tricks and ways of accomplishing work.
Finally somebody I actually like. Thanks for having Davin. I am not a big fan of people coming on here and just spouting their opinions. Plenty of that all over the internet. I come here for actual info, not opinions. Thanks.
I made the same sort of tool out of a socket for Honda CB175 swingarm nuts over 30 years ago and I still have it! Thanks Davin, you just brought back some great shop memories when I was a boy.
I just got my first classic, a free 1977 Caprice Classic. Just in time for my 18th birthday. I’m loving finally working on an American V8 and carburetor! I got super lucky with the 350 4 barrel too. Video of it on my channel more coming soon.
I have made various tools for my usage also. Felt nice to be able to do it myself and use just stuff laying around. I didn't waste money on a tool that i would only use a couple times and then it would be useless after that. I can always reuse the made-up tool parts for something else too:)
So good and so inspiring. I'm not doing a full restore like this on a 1973 CT70, but getting the full business with such high quality is incredible! Waiting for the next episode!
Nothing creates more random electrical issues than metal shavings in wire harness plugs. To prevent that from happening, clean the threads and after that the whole body/frame, before installing any electrical components.
When I was repairing the clutch on my Honda 1100 Goldwing I needed a spanner like you did. Did not have a machine like you so I used a dremel to cut slots in an old socket. Worked fine...................Jay
Made a lot of specialty tools like that over the years for things I only needed for one or two uses instead of spending big bucks for a Snap on or Mac tool.
We wish if only there timelapse engine rebuild videos of legendary and iconic Japanese engines. Such as toyota engine 4A-GE, 2JZ, 3SG engine. Or a Honda K20, K24, or B16 engine. If it existed, it would be absolutely amazing. We love this channel. this is the most fantastic automotive channel on youtube. 🙏🙏🙏
I'm so eager to see this project finished! Some weeks ago I was in a beach area and had a yellow one of these little cuties parked right behind my car, and I fell in love with it. I was about to put it in my trunk before I left haha
I got one for free in 1978 when i was 12 years old, so i was a happy kid alright. It ran perfectly because it had almost no miles on it and was a little neglected, so my dad took it to a shop to make everything work as it should, and i did ride on it from dusk to dawn for 4 years. i even could sit backwards and while i rode on it, i ajusted the stationairy screw and then stand upright on the seat so like on a surfboard. Yeah those were one of the best times in my life arlight.
I don't like to be a party pooper but being a Limey I guess it goes with the territory. Firstly I must say I enjoy watching Davin do his stuff and explaining in detail How and why things are done. He always takes to time to explain that when dealing with things that can inflict injury when they fly (springs) and burn (welding etc.) its wise to take precaution. I was therefore somewhat surprised to see him with no guard on the milling machine and no protective eyewear. You cannot repair, reuse, recycle your eyes! Also tapping out the holes in the frame/chassis after the loom was installed would surely contaminate any electrical joints? Keep up the good work Davin but please take care!
You work in a sick ass shop is this the classic car restoration iv seen the name around sense I was a kid on the speed channel. Great stuff have a great one till the next one 👍👌✌️💯🥂
Awesome video, can't wait to see it finished. Also, should have safety glasses with drill machine. I got some in my eye a few months ago, not a pleasent experience.
Greetings from finland, I love your attention to details and ability to make own solutions to problems, but please when useing powertools like mill or lathe show some example to younger viewers and use safety glasses. Have to remember that: "You are allways the softest bag of meat in a shop", and none of the viewers don't want to see you as captain Jack Sparrow.

Im sure Dad & Grandpa are looking down proudly 🙏 🙏
The close-up shot on the ignition switch was AWESOME!!
For real, that was a magnificent shot.
Davin is the absolute only Hagerty production I watch.
Yes absolutely. No offense other guys
Now that Tom is apparently AWOL, I concur.
You miss alot then.
Give Jason a try?
@@Project_Delusions which one is Jason?
Putting thread grease on the reflector bolts is most definitely overkill, and I love Davin for it!
Your videos are excellent and davin is an excellent host. So glad to have an amazing high quality series like redline rebuilds. I love when you guys get more technical with things love learning various tips and tricks and ways of accomplishing work.
I love it when you make your own special tools. My dad used to do that and I still have some of them.
Thanks for giving the two-wheeled community the love.
These productions are so high quality! Oh, and the color of that frame is fantastic.
Love the color. The shot of the wiring going in was excellent.
Hats off the the video filming crew. Really cool shot putting in the key switch.
Had a QA50 growing up,best memories ever!!
The production quality of these videos is amazing!

Great episode. Looking better every time. Look forward to the next!
Redline Update What a fantastic series! Always looking forward to the next one!

Excellent videography and most informative and entertaining.
Thanks for making content for us bike enthusiasts. I particularly love scooters. Please continue to do bike stuff every once in a while 😍

This is definitely one of my favorite builds I'm keeping up with.
Before clearcoating, painting, or plating thread in sacrificial bolts into threaded holes to keep from having to tap later.
Great tip.
Love the Honda trail 70 it was my first ever bike I road it everywhere when I was young.
Great looking shots on this episode gentlemen. The one of the ignition being installed was 👌🏻

Internal cam shots were terrific

This is going to look sweet when it is all together and those camera shots of the wiring harness being fished through are awesome!! :)
Makes me want to work on my T120 Bonneville thats currently torn all to bits.
I had one in blue back in the early 70’s.
Those have always been such a cool little bike.
Great shots, thanks for sharing 👍👍
Before painting/blasting i put some set screws (they don't have heads) in the threads, works pretty well for me 😎👍
Davin is giving this little machine more love than it deserves. That said, he is doing a *great* job!

Yeah sometin about the key switch going through like that is oddly satisfying can’t even explain why

That music! Hints of a 70's story that involves a delivery man who happens upon a house with shall we say a welcoming pair of women.
I'm pretty sure I've seen 'highlights' of this movie, several times!
Back when the unemployment rate for Bass players was 0? Oh the 70's!
Precision tidy clean awesome build Sir, thank you.....................and yes I had one too, it was yellow
You work in a sick ass shop is this the classic car restoration iv seen the name around sense I was a kid on the speed channel. Great stuff have a great one till the next one 👍👌✌️💯🥂
Nice video work on the close ups. Very nice work on the bike.
Thank You !
Cool shots from inside the frame! Camera man is doing alright 😎
yee haa, I waited for this sequel for awhile now, thanks man.
"Relative to" count = 2 in this video. Nice work!
Awesome video, can't wait to see it finished.
Also, should have safety glasses with drill machine. I got some in my eye a few months ago, not a pleasent experience.
Beautiful Job so far. Sadly enough I had one when they were new !!!
I've created at least a dozen of my own spanners and tools. Most were much better than the cheap stamped things offered by consumer parts stores.
Safety glasses!! ALL machinists wear them.
Knotch a socket wrench for the spanner and then you have two sockets in one, plus it connects to a ratchet already.
These engines are still widely used in South east Asia. It's the most common engine design in Pakistan. Still riding these bikes in Pakistan.
Looking good now
Wow, what's up with the funk? I like it.
best camera crew!
That’s a great color
What I was a kid a friend of mine had the trail 90 Honda we went everywhere on that
T70's were awesome . Watch that dang coil , it will knock you on your can !
Nice Davo, nice.
You need to remove the paint behind the key switch. That’s a grounding point for these bikes
Safety Squints and shorts... AvE would be proud.
The tap tailings look like orange zest a good bartender would garnish a cocktail with. I don’t recommend using them that way.
Heeey! You should have Tig welded that spanner tool thingy! My OCD is going haywire!
funny when camera guy drifted off... hahah.
good job man good video
I would say it looks better than it did new, but it is a Honda and was probably this good out of the factory.
Hey Davin, did you hear that Nickels’ Automotive Wood Restoration shop out on Supply Rd. burned down? I think Tom might have done a video of them?????
A great video!!!!
Speaking of tapping some holes I'm going back to bed to do the same thing. Enjoy
New Boyfriend?
If u guys get time you should restore an old atc 3 wheeler
That was good, relative to the video
Haha once you notice it..
Looking fine. 😎👍🇨🇦
Did your spanner wrench also tighten done the ignition switch retaining nut?
David - did you spend another 15 minutes making the same type (smaller) wrench to tighten the ignition switch in place? he he.
❤️
stop i’m not ready !
As the old saying goes from the Depression: "use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without." Nice bit of tool fabrication.
Are you going to do a time lapse video of this restoration?
I really want to see that.
Eye protection!
I need to know who did your music and where can I buy a tune or two for a "special" mix tape!
The cost to chrome these parts is insane.
Looks like a giant mixer
MOTUL 🍇 👏🏻👏🏻
Why not clear over the decals?
😎👍
It will never look like a motorcycle as it is really a scooter.

No safety glasses mister!
The camera on the slide looks bigger than the honda engine
10:15 easier to install, and pain in the a$$ when you try to replace them
Must be nice to work in a multi million dollar shop with millions of dollars worth of tools and equipment in it.
Вы крутые. Привет из Украины 😀
No eye protection while running a milling machine....
your high school shop teacher is very disappointed.
David always looks like he just woke up with a migraine. Hope not.
🤙🙂👏👍
