Thank you brother!! It's amazing how cheap one can build one of these bikes if they have to... It doesn't look cheap, but it still ended up not being too bad....
Congratulations that bike is definitely a thing of beauty great build man it's been fantastic watching you build it all the way up to running so sweet well done it looks amazing to beautiful to ride 🤓🇬🇧
That thing looks amazing! I love it at 5:06! “It started!” Half amazement and half sigh of relief. That is truly one of the best feelings ever! Great job man!
All that keeps going through my head it Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein "IT"S ALIVE!...........IT"S ALIVE!" . Looks great. Well done sir. Looking forward to seeing a test ride.
Ha Ha!!! I was so surprised! Whenever one powder coats a frame, even when cleaning off mounting surfaces, there's always that chance that I forgot to be sure there's a good ground somewhere... I wasn't expecting it to light.....
They say leave it alone, but I have some stickers that came with the radiator shrouds to go on it, but I haven't wanted to cover up my hard work yet.... lol
This is my first time restoring any type of old plastic.... I'm happy with the outcome, but man did it wear me out.... I've never heard of Novus, but I guess it's time for me to do some research... Thanks my man!
Poor kid works 2 jobs, goes to school, and just had his second baby... kid doesn't know what his name is right now..... lol..... It was good to see a smile on his face when he was able to start it for the first time... especially with those short legs of his.....lol
I can stab myself with a needle as well as the next guy...lol... I wouldn't dare let my partners treat me.... they would have way too much pleasure in making me cry....
I can't believe how good that bike looks... Better than factory new! You really are the master!

Thanks Sean.... I'm hoping soon to get it out and start tuning the carburetor, and suspension... then we can really enjoy some trail riding....
I can't wait for your videos on the final tuneup of the suspension and carb and check you rip it up in the forest it's gonna be awesome 😎
Beautiful restoration!
Still have some things to sort out, but she's coming along!

I think a six year old just entered the living room on Christmas morning, you see the excitement on Dufactors face?
Ha Ha!!! I was so surprised! Whenever one powder coats a frame, even when cleaning off mounting surfaces, there's always that chance that I forgot to be sure there's a good ground somewhere... I wasn't expecting it to light.....
Test ride next!
Fo Sho!!!
Looks good, I am curious would a power drill head light restore type kit work to cut down on the amount of effort/time needed to restore the tank ?
That's not a bad idea... wish I would have thought of it..... lol
@@MrDuhfactor lol next time then.
I had no doubts, is there are do you spray some kind of coating on the tank or just leave it alone
They say leave it alone, but I have some stickers that came with the radiator shrouds to go on it, but I haven't wanted to cover up my hard work yet.... lol
My GOD Damon! That is some sanding you've done there. Have you ever done any plastic windshield resurfacing? Ever used Novus?
This is my first time restoring any type of old plastic.... I'm happy with the outcome, but man did it wear me out.... I've never heard of Novus, but I guess it's time for me to do some research... Thanks my man!
Nice work, what model is rear fender and exhaust for?
Rear fender is 2004 KX250F I believe, and exhause is 1991 KDX250.....
@@MrDuhfactor thanks. Where did you buy the DEP tail pipe?
@@benweaver7452 believe it or not, I think it was ebay.... it was new.... might have actually been amazon too.... cant actually remember....
Where's the short arm boy during all this? he should be out there helping.. If it was gonna be mine I would..
