Hey Guys, As you have probably noticed already i have updated the channel name and logo. The channel is no longer Really Random Channel it is now RRC Restoration. Just incase you were wondering why the water marks in the video still say Really Random Channel. Enjoy.

I like your content. You have helped me out for sure. What pressure do you spray at? I have a Kawasaki fuel tank I have to paint.

Having worked at automotive restoration for thirty years, I can tell this wasn't your first gas tank! You do really nice work.

Great job, an old trick that I was taught to fix fuel tank dents was by filling it with water and putting it in the freezer, the ice expands and solves 85% of the work. Greetings from Spain

For cars I've often seen people using boiling water on dents. The heat expands the metal, making it likely to snap back into its original shape.

I’ve watched all 6 videos of the restoration and its some of the best work I have ever seen.

Amazing restoration! I'm very impressed with that design you made, like it came out of the factory.

Hey guys! Im glad to see you like this latest restoration. Im happy to announce that i have recently made a purchase of a new project and i will be bringing you a series of videos based off the back of that project ;) The reason for this post is to ask you for some feedback on whether you prefer these longer style videos showing processes from start to finish or would you prefer shorter videos showing less detail? I look forward to your comments. RRC

@@NormanNodDunbar Hi Norman, I bought a new TL125S in 1978, you are right about the colour of the tank, it was silver and orange, not silver and red. There were some early TL125's that were painted silver and light blue, I think they were for the Japanese home market. I lived my TL125S in the year that I owned it, I rode it every day and I clocked 15k miles in the year of ownership. In 1979 I traded it in against a Honda CB250N "Superdream" which I passed my motorcycle test on in 1980.

This tank is F---ing ridiculous!!! The only thing I would have done differently to get the initial dents out.... Fill it with water, and lay it in a tub of sand to stabilize it while you worked with the "paintless" dent repair tools..

I watched this on 2x speed, so I feel like I could restore a crushed motorcycle in like 45 minutes.

I had one in Anchorage for a couple years. Tried racing it motocross but I was to heavy for it. Still they were great bikes but not quite a YZ. You brought back some great memories. Thank you!

Well, that answered my question from the last episode of the restore series TL125. You restored an old tank and you did the paint. Beautiful job as always.

Looks amazing! I personally would have made some fibreglass moulds of it before the painting stage and made repro copies, there's a big market for them as originals are harder to get hold of nowadays. My dad used to do that with beetle wings and bootlids. They came out great.

Bike paint is such a tedious process. It's always subject to close inspection. Larger vehicles would require lots of close inspection to find any defects. Not so for a motorcycle - it's a smaller area and defects can be easily spotted. You did a very fine job of this tank.
