Bringing a Repsol CBR Back to Life: The Rebuild Begins EP 1
In today’s video, we’re back at Dad’s yard to start work on a special project: a Repsol CBR we’re reviving "from the graveyard." It’s been sitting for a while, but we’re determined to bring it back to life and get it ready for a new owner (or maybe even keep it for myself!).
[What Happens in This Episode]
It’s Day 1 and 2 of the rebuild! We’re getting stuck in with a deep clean of the swinging arm, prepping for a new chain and sprocket, and giving the exhaust a much-needed refresh with some heat-resistant paint. I also try my hand at some Harley maintenance by pulling the battery to see if we can save it.
Watch until the end to hear Dad’s "Elephant on a flea" comment—I think he’s just scared to ride a sports bike!
