i would love a video of how you design, customize, your process with the customer, etc.

@michaelkraemer5498 4 года назад

Literally putting my basketcase of a '76 cb550 together during this shutdown. You've been a great guide. Thanks again.

@Stoney3K 4 года назад

I keep getting surprised on how simple those bikes are to work on and on the durability of these machines which are almost half a century old now.

@spiffyg4939 4 года назад

Doing the same with a '77 Yamaha twin. It's been very therapeutic.

Taylor, that would be a huge help (how you do business, 8:45 to 9:15) especially for someone like me who wants to do what you're dong. Content is great man you're gonna be at 100k before year end for sure.

@danielpliszka8220 4 года назад

Thanks for taking us along for the ride

@dntlss 2 года назад

The new harnesses are killer,bless whoever decided to start making them, not worth fooling with that old decrepit stuff,restoring one of these, your videos are a great help.

@davidaldrich3488 4 года назад

I am into a complete overhaul of a 1970 cb350E....That's right an E on the engine.......upgrading to a m-unit basic and electronic ignition system with a custom wiring harness. Currently about 85% done...ready to wire bike......I have watched you many times in the past....Repetitive removal....fast forward.....decision making...full enchilada, system install...again full enchilada, talking about business model.....now and then Thanks for your videos

@danielpliszka8220 4 года назад

Would LOVE a start to finish series

@oddis188 4 года назад

Would love to see you disassemble the wheels for painting. Getting the rim and hub painted and polishing the spokes (or throw in new spokes) and then assemble them back together

@jakemeadows8119 4 года назад

A video of the business side of the operation would be fantastic.

@glynchivers9519 3 года назад

Hi, Just found this channel about 2 days ago, now i cant stop watching it, love the content and the step by step vids, takes me back to the time i stripped down and rebuilt a 76 Suzuki GT 750, also stop saying it's to hot to ride there, because it's bloody cold and wet here in England😁🤣.

@SeikenFreak 4 года назад

Just bought a '78 CB750K this past weekend. It's my first motorcycle. Surprise, the bike needs more work than previous owner said ("runs and rides great"), so I've got alot of it apart and plenty of goodies on the way! Discovered your channel because of all this. Great stuff!

@AbdulAllahAbuDaoud 4 года назад

Yay! 50,000 party comin soon!

@cyrilleloreau1603 2 года назад

Hey man! Writing to you from Montreal, Canada and I am just about to take my 78' cb550 apart after a crash this summer. Slid into an F150's front right wheel (in a tight curve). Not hurt to badly, but the bike has some obvious damage and I want to make sure the frame is intact (straight and otherwise) and then start to rebuild into a true cafe racer. I bought a 76' cb750 Supersport to keep riding and so now I'm free to take my time and rebuild the cb550 properly. This video (as all the rest of your videos) are a HUGE help! Thanks a lot bro!

@JDnBeastlet 4 года назад

Re 8:20 - yes, a video like that would be great. Awesome video.

@handyhippie6548 4 года назад

sounds like an interesting vid idea. from stock to custom, complete build. i don't know about anyone else, but i would enjoy it.

@daveco1270 4 года назад

I wouldn't mind seeing a video about putting on new sprockets and a new chain. I'm going to do that soon on my bike. I think I know what I'm doing but it's always good to watch a video of someone else doing it first.

@matthewprice3658 4 года назад

A business model vid would be great I am hoping to take this hobby to the next level, and you are a great inspiration!!

@danaowen9014 4 года назад

@blackdiamondsw1 4 года назад

@nickbishop6784 4 года назад

Another great video Tyler. Back in 1978 I used to own a 1974 cb500/4 in chocolate and black. Stock original bike. Youre doing great work and you keep the videos informative and interesting. Yes it would be nice to see a longer video on the process from youre business point of view and how you go about thjings. Look forward to the next vid. Cheers Nick from Australia.

@bruceliggett8036 4 года назад

“Resettable” Blade fuses are a great upgrade. I’m sure you can find a 3-4 fuse block you can wire up. I used waterproof Delphi.

@chaseradd 3 года назад

In response to your question, I would love to see a video of your whole process from start to finish! So far, your videos are some of the better ones Ive seen in regards to detailed explanations and step by step walk-thru. Love the work and super appreciative of all the extra detail you go into for a beginner builder, keep it up!

@mrdeedles69 4 года назад

If you head over to the sohc4.net forum, there's a guy that goes by Hondaman, he sells the plug and play fuse box as well as other assorted CB electronics. I bought the transistorized ignition and fuse box for my CB550 and I'm happy with them.

@kristianblake739 4 года назад

Awsome channel Taylor, i'd love to see the whole process from design onwards.

@kurtallen22taco 4 года назад

Upgraded to mini blade fuses on a KLR650. Found a three blade holder kit that was an easy install. Was able to place it so that I do not have to remove the seat to check/change a fuse. May want to look into something like that for the Honda.

@ProjectKennyB 4 года назад

If he could design a one piece unit that was blade fuze with the relay... I'd buy it. Re-wiring my CJ360 as we speak from scratch.

@rdflo6739 4 года назад

Great video, nice that you show the little details that help others get started. I'm doing up an old Yamaha here in Europe, and I'm amazed at how easily you get all the parts! Here most are like hens teeth, reusing parts from breakers.. I ran into m6 and m5 meric fine bolts recently! Finally, I'm super interested how you go about preparing the frame for painting. Mine needs doing so I'll be watching you closely. Thanks for sharing!!

@gloamingtime 4 года назад

I'm into any video content you want to produce. Looking forward to more of this build!

@lindsayselby3647 4 года назад

Have a look at replacing those fuses with circuit breakers. I had a Ducati with terrible ceramic fuses , swaped them out for circuit breakers , no more fuse problems .

@michaelsams450 4 года назад

I'd love to see a start to finish overview of your process for custom bikes. I'd also be interested to see how you go about organizing and evaluating parts throughout the process, determining what gets refurbished, what gets replaced, etc. You touched on some of your "always replace" items in this video but a deeper dive might be interesting.

@montstercrazycc6343 4 года назад

@Classic Octane in a video you made a while back "have a beer with classic octane" you mentioned that you still have your first bike a cb360 (up against the house or shop?) and that is one bike we have yet to see on your channel I think it would be a really great addition to the content you have already provided us with, as well as I just got a cb360t and got it running after it sat for 8 years and took it for its first ride and there's alot I would like to do with it very similar to your other builds I'm leaning towards the style that the KZ750 was built (tracker?), all and all I think it would be valuable content and maybe a fun project that you can reflect upon as it shows how far your knowledge of motorcycles has come since you first got the project

@waynehawes9946 4 года назад

The CB400F fuse box is a nice sealed unit with a cover. Not sure if the plug is the same but would be close or you could swap out the plugs. New ones are available on eBay. Cheers, Wayne.

@mattmckee396 4 года назад

@AndrewBlack86 3 года назад

@rene-yvescote3954 4 года назад

It would be nice for a change that you use a 2 into 2 exhaust with 2 up-sweep revers cone muffler. I always find that it looks more balance to have one muffler on each side of the bike. Great job. René from Canada.

@lokichoki_ 4 года назад

Keep those boots and make a rejuvenating concoction and give them back to the customer, theres a mix of wintergreen oil you must have!!! I mix AT-205 and wintergreen oil, I drop the rubber in hot water then rub it down with the mix it adds plasticizers back and can make em new

@mr.cuttystabby5331 4 года назад

I'd love to see a full video on making a custom bike. I'm trying to get in to the motorcycle customization/rebuild/maintenance scene and my first project is a 77 CB550F, so seeing what it takes in feel detail would be immensely helpful to me. A good place to shop for parts would also be appreciated

@pebear 4 года назад

Honda / CB tear downs go much better than the compatible Suzuki GS tear down. The manifold studs on the Suzuki's seem to break off making life difficult. The Honda's studs seem to say in one piece.....

@daveco1270 4 года назад

I always enjoy your videos, Tayler. Question for you: I have a 1975 Honda CB750 that's running fine and not currently giving me any problems. I replaced the coils and the points with Dyna coils and electronic ignition a while ago. Would it be a good idea to put a new wiring harness in the bike and get rid of those 45 year old wires? I've been tempted to buy a new harness on 4into1 and just do it. Part of me likes to do stuff like so I can learn how to do it. There's the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" school of thought, but as someone who's trying to learn all of this stuff I don't really subscribe to that philosophy.

Btw. When are you gonna get a paint gun? I "hate" that you do all the nice jobs with all the bikes and then you paint them with 1k paint from a rattle can and sometimes 2k. All the frame painting etc. Would be easier with a small (even with a cheap harbour freight paint gun) gun and you wouldn't need to play with those cans and be afraid of splatter from the nozzles

Small question: How do you arrange al the parts when they come off not to mix them up? Because when you're working on 2 bikes, you don't want to lose those parts I guess :)

@ClassicOctane 4 года назад

I have some large plastic bins that I keep by the bike. All of the parts I take off go in one and all of the new parts I order go in another one to keep everything straight.

@yellowmartian 4 года назад

Is it better to use the existing wiring harness if it's in decent condition than to install an m.unit blue?

If everything is functioning then I wouldn't worry about it. If you're constantly tracking down wiring issues then it's a good option.

@AbdulAllahAbuDaoud 4 года назад

I really don’t wish to know the ins and outs of your business, but I am interested in an overall “how ya doing” vid without getting too close and personal. (In case the IRS is watching) Stuff like if you’re making as much or more money building bikes as you were in your last job? How much approximately is youtube contributing to your income? Are you ever going to lose that banana colored Range Rover out of your driveway? Stuff like that, please.

I will make a 50K subscriber Q&A style video and will try to answer all of these questions.
