Thank you Wink .
I told myself that I was going to try to revive it.
I did not find any PC Works Pipe in new, they stopped production and I do not like Platinum
If you wanted a brand new works looking pipe, simply buy a new platinum and you can have a plating shop strip the nickel plating. Then it’s a raw pipe a d you can sand and heat the welds. Cost me $20 at my local plating shop here. Bike looks great!

Are you using the Zinc Chloride for soaking all the parts in, including the carburetor?

I'd say it's being watched...

I've been. Each time you post something. I'm always curious about old Honda builds. Sometimes others have great ideas and tips as they rebuild something. Sometimes parts show up I haven't seen before. If its a Honda, I'm always interested.

Oh ok, it's because I do not see anyone commenting on my message, compared to the beginning or I started posting.
Of course we're in real time now, so it's slower

Thanks again.
It's true that it motivates me to continue to post, if I see that it interresses Wink

I’ve been watching as well. I built an 89 last year and the builds are my favorite part of this site. Keep it up!

Its always surprising what people do for parts that's are no longer available. Whether it's paying high dollar for NOS parts or fabricating your own. There's always something to learn. I honestly think in the last year and a half I've been a member here on Vital, is the time period I've learned the most about my own bikes. The build section is also my favorite. Repair manuals don't teach you everything.

After a month of waiting, the frame is back paint and it does not work, bad color and dull and more lack of paint, traces of rust ...
In short he is back to repaint this time if I hope as it should.

it is true that I posted a lot of pictures without explanations, because I did not know if it was going to interest someone.
I'll explain to you later ;-)

So I'll try to find specific words for the Google translator to understand and transcribe what I'm saying.

first, the cleaning phase.
I use brake cleaner degreaser, then dishwashing soap and green scocth-brite




then use car body sandpaper with the water, from different grains from 80 to 2000







and finally, I have a blow of heat gun, to give back the gloss disappeared

Thank you kindly for the refurbished plastic protocol. Your results are amazing and I will now do my best work on a 90 CR125 sitting in the garage.

Sorry to hear about the first paint attempt. Best of luck on the second go-around.
Super pumped to see the assembly when it comes to fruition.

Best,
JJM
