Absolutely brilliant video… My Barn find looked new compared to yours!! Less dead things living inside… At least I didn’t have a tree growing in through it!! I’m now gonna binge watch the other vids 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I had one of these years ago, still one of my favourite bikes, ran independant delorto carbs and put smaller front sprocket on it. What a hoot couldn't keep the front end down.
😂😂 Sounds like a monster mate! I have just managed to get this one running so keep an eye out for the video coming out in next day or so! this practically sounds like it's been straight piped lol due to the fat hole in the exhaust, some will hate it but I love it 😂😂
3:30 That’s crazy, poor girl deserves a second chance of life ❤. Great video bro 😎. How old are you if you don’t mind me asking and do you have a bike 🏍️ license?
haha, only 18! gotta start young 😅😅 yeah she was quite rough... did end up getting her all sorted in the end!!! 😂 Do have my cbt licence and will go for full licence ASAP!
Ok 👍🏼 well done bro 😎 you are doing amazing proud of you, I was just like you when I was younger always messing around with bikes 🏍️ and cars 🚙. I’m looking forward to uploading a video hopefully at the weekend.
yes I 100% agree, issue is... at my unit (shipping container) I don't have access to water and I'm also quite weary of pressure washers on bikes withe everything exposed it blasts water into every crack and crevice of the bike... I much rather do it bit more gently first, also means you are 100x more likely to notice any damage or issues? buy yeah I do agree, pressure washer is needed 😂
yup! Sure is a dx! pretty rare these lol, bloody nightmare when people do that... I've had a few close calls myself 😅 100% get another mate! I've ridden this thing about a bit now, oh my god the power it makes is insane for a 450... Will have videos to follow in the next few days!!! 😎
@@dmc_autos yeah 43hp for nighthawk real hard to get in uk plenty in usa. Still have brand new pipes for it somewhere and other bits, i will get one eventully
Well i admire your dedication cuz they werent great bikes even brand new. I had one and they're comfy bikes but always did under 50mpg which is pretty awful next to its rival, the gs500 which blew it away in the sales charts cuz it was the same price and ten times better.
Got on last September that had been off road for about 10 years. Rebuilt calipers, cleaned carbs, derusted tank,recovered seat, new chain. MOT 8 weeks later!
haha spot on mate! have to admit, imo there is just something really special about getting an old bike and bringing it back to life! may be because I'm used to a 125 but man they have a lot of power!
haha ooh okay! I will definitely be giving this a go, do you think it'd work on the carb manifolds? alot of the time they are rubber and are a right ole pain to get in!
Ignition wasn't locked, just off. Should have been easy to unbolt the lock. then a good locksmith could have cut a key to the lock. These were built in Brazil.
was cheaper to buy a new ignition barrel set, I did look for someone to cut a key and he wanted £180!!! did call a few people and it was all about the same... would have been cool to keep original locks on her though!!
@@dmc_autos last one I had cut was a lot less than that. And it would have resulted in still having a steering lock, all the keys matching still and no need to buy another fuel cap. If you are lucky you can strip the lock down and manually cut a key with a file and a blank

Haha thanks mate! really appreciate your support!!!! Definitely will look cracking once done!
pressure washer would be first port of call, makes the job easier instead going through loads of shite

Honda 450 dx? Had the custom version night hawk, loved it, totalled when car pulled out from junction, his fault. May get another some day.

@patrickdoake6022 yeah man may aswell! sounds like fun! Good looking bikes too!!
Do you seal your bikes after you are done
@georgepruitt1915 yeah mate. not all of them however have to make a bit of cash somehow to fund more projects! 😜
Aquele pedaço de borracha que vc tapou o giglê principal serve exatamente para não dar entrada excessiva por ele.

Plenty of power really, if you want a bit more fizz just fit a smaller front sprocket 😂
Something I have found is some rubber will "rehydrate" with weldtite bike polish, which smells a lot like furniture polish...

Good job
thanks mate!! 😎

Onde ta a moto?
Wow, that's really been stuck in the undergrowth! If you were into naming bikes I know what a good name for it would be!
Go on then! Got me curious now 🤣 yeah she wasn't in the best nick but very satisfying to get her all sorted out!
@@dmc_autos Ivy???
🤣🤣 Perfect lol, couldn't think of anything better suiting 🤣
