1986 Honda Fat Cat Restoration Pictures and Video

[BigfootBikes]

Here are some pictures and video of a restoration of my buddy's Honda Fat Cat I am helping with. We were going to just put new plastics and seat on it but things ended up going a little sideways :lol: We got our work cut out for us now. I should be able to get the rest of the restoration videos of it on my youtube channel within the next couple weeks.

Hey what kind of paint did you hit on the motor ? Looks like you had fun with this.

I used VHT engine paint. It seems to hold up well to gas and grease once it is baked on after a few rides. We will see over time.

Yeah I used that rattle can VHT too. Holds up to gasoline heat and oil. What a difference. You gonna ride that thing or look at it in your living room ?

You did an amazing job. Is it possible to install aftermarket accessories that can be found at stores like 4wheelonline on a classic Fat Cat?
