Hi Mark. I took ownership of a 1974 GT185 basket case. In the literal sense. Previous owner bought it as a whole bike and dismantled it. So I bought it in boxes. Your videos will of great help to me. Thanks for the effort in posting them.
Hey David, thanks for your comment and it was my pleasure to produce this series of videos. Although I got a kick out of making each one, it was hard work at times that didn't seem to have an end in sight. As each video was finished it did signal the end of that part of the restoration, so was therapeutic in that sense. Good luck with your project, take your time and get it right, you will thank yourself for it later on. If you need any info, give me yell and I'll try to help you out. Cheers Mark
Actually just bought a GT185. These series are gonna help a lot. Might take my time a bit more, just to save up for the esthetic parts like the chrome and stuff. But that's every man's own taste. Technically this is gonna be a real help! Probably gonna be watching this a few times
Glad your getting some value from the vids. I couldn't find any comprehensive videos on the GT185 so structured this series for others to reference. Good luck with your project 👍
Love your videos Mark. My son and I have just started a 1977 GT185 project and we are addicted to your videos. I'm amazed at how good your are at cleaning up old parts, we kept assuming that there were more new bits until we saw the bolt clean up demo. Great stuff! We are currently making a list of all the bits and bobs that need replacing, any recommendations on sites have you found best for parts?
Hey Paul, sorry missed this comment...very much appreciate the positive feedback and you guys are getting good value from the vids. I often go to sites such as partzilla or robinsons foundry, wemoto, cruzin image, clasic bike fasteners, cmsnl, sometimes good ol ebay does the trick. Just ask if you get stuck, happy to share info or knowledge. Cheers, Mark

@@markxtinkering Thanks Mark, much appreciated!
Those rodeo's drink fuel
Yeh, a bit under gunned so power to weight ratio is a bit lacking.
