In this video, I'll be taking you through the beginning stages of my Honda Blackbird rebuild project. This bike was purchased at a lower price due to its crash damage, but I'm excited to show you how I plan to restore it to its former glory. I'll be stripping down the bike, assessing the damage, and planning out the next steps in the restoration process. If you're interested in DIY motorcycle projects or looking for ways to save money on repairs, be sure to follow along with my progress.

Nice work getting that stuck screw out .... top tip - get yourself a set of JIS Japanese standard cross head screwdrivers as the cross head screws on your Honda are JIS heads not the common phillips heads. It does make a difference, the JIS drivers are way way less likely to cam out in the heads than phillips drivers. A worthy purchase when working on Japanese bikes 😉

I remember that on some Hondas of the golden era the heatsinks on the elecronics used to be insufficient for cooling in hotter climates/days. And when such a big bird clears its throat to sing, it generates a *load of heat under the fairings. As far as I can remember, it was maybe the voltage reguator, or the ignition. I don't remember precisely, but you'll find it, the attic if full of that. They used to put some extra fans (or/and a beefier passive copper PC heatsink) over there for hot summer usage. May have been a (manual) switch for such a fan, too. Such a manual swich is not an elegant solution, but can be a life saver on a mediterranean holiday in July-August. Rather put a fan with an adjustable thermostat. Or/and a quality, somewhat oversized (copper) passive heatsink (using a good amount of thermal grease for heat-disspiation, of course).

A little trick with the exhaust manifold nuts is heat. They're designed to cope with a lot of heat so you're not going to damage them, but get a little butane/propane or MAPP gas torch on there to make the nuts expand, then they'll spin right off.

Take photos with your phone to remember for reassembly. Plastic bags labeled with a marker to organize screws, etc., nitrile gloves for dirty jobs or using chemicals, Mechanic's gloves to protect your hands (The ladies don't appreciate a bloke with razor blade hands), some eye protection (yeah, we get two, but I like having binocular vision). There's all the usual suspects for loosening screws/bolts, but here's a few you may not have heard. An old machinist my dad knew used a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF for soaking stuck threads. And I met a retired US Navy Boiler Tech that used tincture of wintergreen when one couldn't stand the odor/fumes of some of the more caustic methods. Oh, and on the wiring side, solder when you're able. Cheers and best of luck! P.S.-You may have been hacked. I got a response saying I had won a prize and to test telegram you.

As has already been said, JIS is your friend for screwdrivers. You can generally spot a JIS screw over a Phillips one by looking at the head. Phillips have just the cross for the screwdriver. JIS have an extra little dot imprinted. There''s a small difference in the design that means that the JIS screwdriver will cam out when there's too much pressure but the Phillips will happily chew up the screw instead. I'd recommend a service/shop manual too. I'm not a mechanic either, so the service manual is ideal for step by step assembly and disassembly information. Good luck with the rest of the job. I'm looking forward to following along.

@@nigelturner9606 buying Snap On tools would definitely blow the budget. There are pretty good tools available for DIY-ers at a lot lower cost. I've found Halfords and Draper do good socket sets and hex/Torx bit sets. I've used some of them myself, and I was a car and van mechanic until I retired. With screwdrivers, though, you do need good quality, because they can easily damage the screw heads if they slip or burr over. An impact driver is a useful tool to have for shifting stubborn fasteners - I still use the one I bought 52 years ago when I got my first bike.

As for getting stuck nuts off especially exhaust studs heat and penetrating fluid is your friend, the exhaust pipes have a special metal gasket on them for going onto the headers, the airfilter looked a K&N and with the new engine change the spark plugs before fitting it's easier whilst the engine is out! respect though

As above an LED either connected to the alarm/immobiliser system or a deterrent connected straight to the batt, hopefully the later. Your a brave man with deep pockets i hope! Lol in all honesty I’d love to restore a bike myself but I’d have to at least be in a heated garage with a bike lift, both of which I don’t currently have. You could of bought something mint for what this will set you back I imagine 😮 but you’ll get so much more from doing it yourself 🤙🏼 see it through pal it’ll be worth it 💪🏻 Good luck

Great work. Although taking something apart is one thing, putting it back together is not so easy

as home mechanic, Halfords advanced tools are the best for the money. get yourself a trade card with them and theyre so cheap but the quality transfers into making all these jobs easier. I 100% recommend getting the biggest kit they do and keeping this one spare in the car.

Bruv, bring that awesome hair all the way down the back and do the whole mohawk. You got the good curly hair. That always looks great in a hawk. Like the baseball player mohawk. I think you would nail it cousin
