Dude I love this channel. You remind me of "This Old Trike" 's channel. I appreciate your hard work for our entertainment. So I'm saying....Thank you. 🤘 you rock.
This is a bike your going to ride too . That Air box look great the tank will come out good like you said now you can put money some place else 👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲⚒️
So cool!! I want to rebuild an older Honda. I built my XR150L with a 70mm big bore and a 36/31 big valve head; now I can max out 5th gear on the highway at 88mph with a 18t/46t setup. But now, I’m going to go even bigger to 300cc with a 78mm big bore and a 39/34 big valve head!😎👍
I'm digging resto mod. I had an 83 CR480R years ago and a buddy that rode with me had a 93 CR500. I could run circles around him but his was stock and mine had been tweaked a little! Man I miss that bike
The Nu Finish is actually a very good polymer finish product despite the gimmicky bottle and wording and priced pretty good at walmart. It's as good as any "pro" product out there and It lasts. I've used it for the exact same thing you are doing on a 1985 CR250 resto I did and on my jetskis and all my vehicles really. Since I'm no longer in the detail business and don't want to buy a gallon of product at a time this stuff is great in a small bottle for occasional use. The red tank I did went from chalk to absolutely brilliant bright shiny red. I went from I think 400 to 800 to 1500 then compound then glaze then Nu Finish. just a shiny and new as it was 2 years ago.
Nice video with great info. I have a stock tank in my shed i might try to clean up just for fun. I have a clear 17L clarke tank on my 500 and it looks ridiculous but I've never ran out of fuel. Its stained right into the plastic on the inside. Thought about dying it but would have to go black.
My green Clark tank was looking shabby. So I painted it to look like metal. It looked really good in a bad way, so I put iron paint on it and rusted it. Every touch up makes it even better. 😅
Id love to see that CR500as a supermoto build?!?!?!?!?!?!?! That would be different or a supermoto build out of a dirt bike. Ive done one and I love riding that thing. Kawai 450 build
Quick tip, try an Magic Eraser with hydrogen peroxide on the plastics that are white, you'd be surprised how clean it comes out.
Plastics look Great! Nice work! 👍👍
1992 was the year I graduated high school! I can’t wait to see what you turn this old girl into!!
@@NewBelgiumCO it’s definitely going to be cool!
New Belgium is some good beer! I used to drink a lot of the Trippel.😎👍

Thank you for watching
You know it's going to be a good day when a new video from DBF drops. 😁
I really appreciate the fact that you’re going to address my questions on stock frame versus aluminum. Your awesome
I appreciate all the comments and views. It’s the least I can do

I would love to have a 480 in my collection. Very cool bike.
Good job! ❤️

You can actually use mother's aluminum polish to get a nice vibrant shine on the plastics, I've done it and made them look brand new again.

Will you wrap the rest of the plastics ,, I think having your youtube logo has the wrap would look great ,
Would clearing the plastics keep it from discoloring? Yours come out excellent they look awesome!
I would definitely try the magic eraser and oxiclean
Tried it with little results

you have officially spent more on sand paper time than to have just bought new? not seeing much saving here
You’re right but this is the OEM tank and the aftermarket tanks are just not built as well as the stock ones. So the juice is worth the squeeze for me
@@DIRTBIKEFAB I get it and completely understand . I guess at 54 I now choose my battles time is precious !!! Love the content !!!
