I like your thinking/ philosophy of restoration. To my mind the original parts are always worth preserving, even if they have a scars. Or maybe because they have scars ;-)

I got into your channel because I own a '98 VFR800. (and loads of cycles!). The CR is definitely not my type of bike but the way you go about things, I really don't think it matters what bike you are working on. You always show stuff in a way that we can all appreciate and learn from. Keep doing what you're doing. 👍

One of the main reasons I enjoy your channel is that you use as much of the original parts, bolts, brackets, fasteners as possible, and if something needs replacing you source a used part and refurbish that. Too many restorations are over done with so many new parts thrown at it. The other thing is I learn so many tips and tricks from you 👍👍👍

The true value of restoration is to have the bike as good as it can be with restored parts and reuse everything you can. Anyone can go and buy new bolt on parts and send out everything to be assembled. Congratulation to you can’t wait to see the CR when finished!

I love the videos you put out, great job on showing how you can repair and protect original plastic - I will definitely be saving these vids for future repairs of my own. Also, don’t worry about how much you’re smiling or whatnot - never even crossed my mind, and I say just be you and not feel you have to put on a “KZitem personality”. That’s what I love about Allen Millyard for example - he’s just himself! You both seem like genuine guys who love what you’re doing

Good job, I agree you want a ride able restoration not something you fear of scratching. I restored a 1976 Kawasaki Z900 A4. I fixed a lot of stuff as opposed to buying everything new. I used many online 2nd hand parts. Cleaned up well. It just takes time. This is the first time I have seen your channel. You are aware these bikes are insanely dangerous to ride don't you. Well done and good luck.
