1986 Honda Elite 150 FULLY PIMPED!

Finally finished the restoration project on my 1986 Honda Elite 150 Deluxe. This scooter went from complete Craigslist basket-case condition to better-than-new in just five months, and cost $1800 including the price of the scooter.

BTW, check to make sure you don't accidentally have your camera's backlight compensation turned on (a sunburst logo will appear in the lower left corner of the LCD when it's on). That would cause the video to be washed out like this in bright light.

@vwestlife Actually yes, it is on! How the heck do I turn it off? (I have the same camera you have).

Great job on the bike, good choice of paint colour too, the blue looked a bit too pale and washed out.

have valve clearance check recommend.

Awesome job; all that work clearly paid off.

@bbishoppcm Just push the "Back Light" button on the camera body. For some reason, Sony gives it a huge button all of its own, while they bury many other, more commonly used features into the touch screen menus....

Once that paint hardens up good you need a good polishing compound to bring out the shine then give it a coat or two of a good paste wax, it ought to just blind you with the shine then. The red definitely is a much better color (candy apple red or candy plum would really look good on that scooter)
