I love building, maintaining, and enjoying classic machines. From bringing vintage motorcycles back from the dead to racing classic cars. If you're into old iron this is the place for you.

Nice build! And thanks for the info on jetting. I juat picked up a '76 CB550K that someone got a start on to cafe it. Lot's of goodies, dynatek ignition, same header you have, decent paint, sidecovers in good shape. But I think I like the scrambler version and will go that way. Also I think the front fender brace is important on these old bikes, keeps the front end from getting all noodly when carving two lane roads.

Wow its been 7 month since your last video. Hope nothing bad happened and you're just taking a break from this unprofitable RU-vid thing. One day you may feel like posting again, and we would all would like to know what happened, what happened to your shop, the full time Tubing thing (obviously that didn't work out) and all the bikes you were working on etc etc. rsm8

Wow, I love the style of this bike, well done. I've got a 1980 CB650 Which I hope to build into something like this one day. right now its got all the mods from the previous owner, some which I like, others I don't. He looked after it very well and kept all the service records right from when it was imported into my country so there's no problem using it every day. I notice I've got the some gauges as you too!

Can you help me with how to integrate the spark unit in the wiring diagram of a Honda Shadow vt750c '84. Everything is working wel, i only don't know how to connent the spark units and coils with an m-unit. At revival they have a schedule from m unit to a relay to spark units (cdi) to the coils. But how to do that with my bike?

I thought these indestructible BMW flying brick things never broke. Apparently another myth busted. Why do people neglect and abuse motorcycles so bad. Never store a motorcycle outside in the weather. Park it at least under a roof. You got to know, if that thing had just been pushed under a barn roof 20 years ago and nothing more, it would be covered in dust and bird poo, but in so much better condition overall.

Do you still do the vapor blasting as a service if I ship it to you? I have a 1981 CB650 carb broke down currently and would really like to have them cleaned up. Does the vapor blasting remove pretty much everything from the carbs?

How do you? Know you have the right rings without gapping them first without physically checking the gap which means you've got to clean the cylinders hone if necessary. And then insert the piston without the rings on it so that you can get the ring flat level and check the gap at the end of the rings. Each bike has its own specifications for that gap. Finally rebuild the engine..
