For the scissor jack, instead of a Handle, weld a hex nut to the jack and you can use your battery powered Ryobi Drill with a socket to spin the jack up and down. 😉 Also, weld a large flat plate on the base of the jack to make it less tippy.

@macthomas5340 7 лет назад

Great stuff, you are going to love the Ryobi tools . Have had mine for a year and use them every weekend.

@Aggiesig12 4 года назад

My collection of Ryobi has now grown to take over my pegboard. They are clutch.

@CajunGreenMan 6 лет назад

I think the home-made jack is an awesome idea! I would suggest trying the lifting points underneath the footpegs, to give more stability side to side.

@cleome__ 7 лет назад

Hardtail looks good! Took FOREVER but all good things come with time. Psyched to see what's to come

@nevsmate9818 4 года назад

...did a similar thing to an old car jack, only use it to lift my GL1100 then lower it onto my wooden bike stand to enable both wheel removal. Haven't got a garage nor space for a proper bike lift so, make do out in the back yard.....

@marksaunto2588 Год назад

No prep on the spokes, rattle can primer over chrome? That paint is going to look good for about a week.

@DavidMartinez-kf9zt 7 лет назад

Cycle refinery down on congress and st Elmo has a ton of Honda stuff like seats and hoops and stock parts. I used a lot of his stuff on my 550. Jesse's a real cool guy, you should check them out if you haven't already.

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

Yeah I follow them on Instagram. I will try and make it down there to check out their store.

@p4cca 7 лет назад

Great video dude I'm super envious of all your bikes! With that tie down bar you added to the bike rack, be careful - you now have all the load from the bike movement essentially being supported by those bolts you mounted it with and they may shear, but I'm no expert.

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

I used grade 8 bolts so they should hold up. I'm going to be tying bikes down in at least two if not three different spots too so that should help even the load out.

@michaelkilgore9435 6 лет назад

Been a building contractor lots hand ele. tools need welder , start mine ! Thanks for info and lookin 4 the new build !

@dtacklind 5 лет назад

The bike carrier in the back would be cool if you pivoted it in the center so one side rotates to the ground. You can add a small 12volt winch to the other end and pull the bike up until it balances and then pick up the end that was on the ground. There would be no need for the ramp.

@cristianok1961 4 года назад

16:30 You could weld a square piece o metal sheet on the base to make it more stable.

@chrisluthi4804 7 лет назад

be careful with the hit carrier! Ive had a couple and they both broke.. i was only hauling my 250 dirtbike too.. so Be very careful, especially with your nice bike haha.

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

Thanks for the heads up. It will only be used occasionally but I will make sure to keep an eye on it.

@MG-we9np 7 лет назад

Hey from Australia. Great videos. Always interested in wot ur up to. I have a 72 Honda Cb500 I'm making into a brat...my first full rebuild. Love the rims, will see if I can get that paint over here. Also thanks for the seat link as I wasn't sure where to go for a seat n like you said the seat makes the bike so was nervous where to go but tuffside looks pretty good. Cheers for all the handy info

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

Thanks for watching. Good luck with your project!

@gedonvadski7734 7 лет назад

looks great man

@tntcyclespdx640 7 лет назад

I like your vids, and appreciate your work, but I must say this is definitely not how to paint wheels. Ive had to remove way too many of these "paint jobs", they look good for the first 100 miles or so then........really bad. Please, prep your wheels, disassemble them, etc.. it really is important if you want the paint to stick. I would suggest to always sandblast to get the grip required for the primer or it just wont hold up to the extreme conditions a wheel is exposed to. Paint, then clear.

@tj5020 3 года назад

Hi @tntcyclespdx , I'm planning on painting some spoked wheels, my plan is to disassemble, evaporust the spokes and rim to remove rust, then light sand, etch prime, then epoxy , then reassemble. Is this what you would recommend?

@perryhart3172 2 года назад

An adhesion promoter before primer helps as well.

@schroederb2007 4 года назад

Still using the appliance epoxy? holding up?

@JohnConnolly2787 6 лет назад

Can run the power to a foot pedal switch, usually can find for less than $10.

@jajjjamensan 2 года назад

The mekanism can handle 500 pounds but the hitch shouldnt have more than 200 pounds of downwards force. The only purpouse of it is to tow, not to lift. Making it super duper illegal in EU atleast

@danielthompson6689 7 лет назад

Good choice with the ryobi tools. The home gamer doesnt need the pro tools. And just fyi the portaband shold make a cleaner cut than the reciprocating saw when chopping the frame.

@timdog555 5 лет назад

hey bro, how are the black wheels hoding up witj the epoxy paint?? gonna do mine but wondering how it holds up with the streets

@nathanlogan4585 5 лет назад

I have the same question!

@keithhickerson8136 2 года назад

Hey man, I’m in New Braunfels Tx, about an hour south of Austin. Just started a 77 CB550 build and may need a bit of help. Do you work on customer bikes?

@michaelkilgore9435 6 лет назад

Wanted to see if Instagram name went through , UP here it fits "watch4potholes" ! , in South not as bad . You have given Me inspiration to start my CB Build but it is so Damn COLD here ! I know WhaWha

@ronicard 7 лет назад

Great video. If you haven't done so yet, you REALLY should consider spending about $250 and getting the paperwork filed to create an LLC for your bike business. It will let you write off the cost of all the tools you have purchased/will purchase as well as a few other tax breaks. Makes a pretty big difference come tax time. Digging all the new tools and looking forward to some TIG videos. I have a lot of the same tools (Eastwood MIG welder, for example) but haven't jumped into TIG yet. Keep up the good work.

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

That's a great point. I will definitely look into that this week. Thanks for the suggestion!

@luisvelarde8999 2 года назад

Nice video, I am thinking to do the same with my CB750 K5 wheels because they became rusty although they were chromed some time ago. One question, did you need to install anything (relay, flasher, etc) to make the leds work properly on the dash panel? or they were just a direct replacement from the small oem bulbs?

@jkrob006 2 года назад

What grit do you use for sanding? Epoxy still holding?

@joedeleon3435 4 года назад

Hey Taylor are you going to do anything with that cb360 twin? I think that would be a cool will it run Wednesday video, what you think?

@schroederb2007 6 лет назад

almost two years later, how do the wheels look now?

@woden20 7 лет назад

Enjoyed the video but that music JESUS CHRIST MAN lol

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

Don't worry I learned my lesson and tamed down my music after this ha.

@justinthomson7877 7 лет назад

I like your builds, but I have to say...there is nothing I hate more than buying something that's been painted without being disassembled. Take those spokes off and the brake parts apart and paint em or even better powder coat them.

@budgetdrift6403 7 лет назад

damn that rustoleum epoxy paint looks great! quick question, what budget brat seat and hoop would you recommend for a 78 cb750? thanks

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

I haven't really used any budget seats. I order all of my seats from Tuffside.com. I think it's one of the most important things on the bike and is worth spending a little more if you can. For the hoop I just buy them off ebay. Should run you around $30-$50 depending on what style and size you want.

@budgetdrift6403 7 лет назад

Classic Octane thanks! have you ever made a custom seat?

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

I made one out of a skateboard on one of my first builds. It looked ok but was super uncomfortable. After that I decided I would leave the custom seat work to the professionals.

@bellamyc7895 7 лет назад

yikes I see missing fingers in the near future with that "bandsaw"....

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

Almost a year of using it and I can still count to 10. Just have to be aware of what you're doing.

@lukebronstein9617 4 года назад

is it possible to powder coat the rims instead?

@ClassicOctane 4 года назад

Definitely, just more time consuming and expensive.

@bigmacboy876 7 лет назад

That Paint finish looks great will personally use that combination, But to save you the trouble with index cards i would advise completely removing the tire, Just in case you get over spray. Nothing looks pretty with over spray shows as unprofessionalism.

@ccgabbert 7 лет назад

that Triumph is beautiful! a real shame you're gonna chop it up imo :(

@ssbmarth 7 лет назад

Painted the wheels without sanding the primer first?

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

I prepped and primered these before paint. You can see the automotive primer I used in the video.

@NorthernTroutHunters 7 лет назад

Hi nice job with the wheels. Did you take care of the rust before the paint?

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

Yes I sand them down to remove any rust and to get a nice surface for the paint to stick to. It will just flake right off of the chrome if you don't scuff it first.

@NorthernTroutHunters 7 лет назад

Classic Octane Have you had any problems with the paint cracking Where the spokes are attached to the hub? Are'nt the spokes flexing a bit and therefor makes it easy to crack?

@fasfasfasfsafa 7 лет назад

Hi! Could you please post the link from those led? Thnks!

@bez2944 7 лет назад

Nice videos. I subscribed i while ago, but why the annoying music? It makes it so difficult to go through the whole video.

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

I'm still searching for good music to use that wont get my videos deactivated because of copy rights. RU-vid has very strict rules for music. I'm still learning thanks for sticking in there!

@G_MOG_44 7 лет назад

Months later, do you have any feedback on the durability of the epoxy paint for wheels?

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

I sold this bike about 2 weeks after finishing it. So i'm honestly not 100% sure on how they look now. I'm trying VHT wheel paint on the Triumph i'm building and should be able to keep an eye on the long term durability for that.

@schulzg 7 лет назад

Classic Octane any news on paint longevity?

@sethmcsnotter7872 4 года назад

I would be more concerned about what happened to it come tire change time

@michaelkilgore9435 6 лет назад

Have you been welding MIG so far with flux core ?

@ClassicOctane 6 лет назад

I use a MIG most of the time but with gas. Not a fan of flux core.

@irocart83 7 лет назад

love watching your builds. im onto my second one, Kz500.....im in the market for a mig welder. what eastwood unit are you using? thanks man

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

I have an Eastwood Mig 135. It's a great little machine for projects like this.

@irocart83 7 лет назад

Thats what i thought. Seem they are out of stock untill june 1st.....dang it

@jeroenmeijners34 7 лет назад

Great build! What type of wheels are those?

@jeroenmeijners34 7 лет назад

Tires*

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

They are Bridgestone Spitfire's in the stock sizes.

@jeroenmeijners34 7 лет назад

Classic Octane Thanks! The look awesome

@Dgdlf13 7 лет назад

Hi, does the paint keep good on the wheel?

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

So far so good.

Balance your audio better. Music is at to high of a volume compared to your voice.

Oh man, that “music” you have as a backing track is HORRIBLE!!!!!

@molsterone3797 5 лет назад

@onemanhisdub1969 Год назад

Hi, love most of the work you do. But painting the wheels with the tyres on! Not a good look, I'm afraid

@Ghostdancer88 6 лет назад

I would think getting one wide or two motorcycle ramps for the truck would be much easier than the hitch carrier and safer

@Fezzler61 7 лет назад

So I am about to buy a 1978 Honda CB550F K3 that is about 1 1/2 hours away. I have a Jeep with a hitch. I was going to rent a U-Haul, but are you telling me that those hitch carries will work with a 70s-era Honda CB? I think the CB550 is in the 450lbs range. Not so sure how long they are. I think Jeeps can trailer 1,200-1,500lbs Is trailer capacity the same as this device?

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

With a hitch carrier you need to look at your tongue weight(amount of weight pushing down on the hitch) capacity instead of just your towing capacity. If you don't plan on carrying bikes regularly I would go the trailer route.

@Fezzler61 7 лет назад

Yea, Jeep does not have enough tongue weight. I'll rent a van and make some wheel chocks out of 2x4. I have straps. I'm pulling the trigger on this.

@MyMGBJourney 6 лет назад

Any word on how that paint is holding up?

@robertadams4415 2 года назад

If you have ever done gas welding tig welding is similar

@bodie1204 7 лет назад

Hey there, I really like your motorcycle table. Just a question though, how are you getting the bikes up there? A ramp of some kind?

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

Exactly, I have an 8 foot 2x8 that I put some metal brackets on one side to anchor it to the table when i'm loading or unloading a bike. It's possible to load it by myself but is a lot less sketchy with two people.

@luisvelarde8999 4 года назад

Classic Octane I was almost writing the same question but saw it already made and replied. Do you have a video where you put up the bike? Luis from Lima, Peru.

@Ricko1962 3 года назад

@karlossmith3714 3 года назад

Love that bike rack on your truck. I’d love one for my Volkswagen t5 transporter but not sure if it would be possible 😬

@ChaoticDetour 7 лет назад

Nice additions to the tool shed. I had a similar idea with the car jack a few years ago. I just used a smaller platform instead of the uprights you have. My jack had a 5/8" nut on it instead. So cut off the eye and weld on a stout nut. Then you can just use your impact to raise and lower. Much quicker. That N.Tool carrier is odd, my HF had a full width ramp. Otherwise they look the same.

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

That's a good idea, thanks for the suggestion. I need to make the base a little wider too for some stability.

@justini1366 7 лет назад

What is the red brush you used on the drill to clean up the wheels called? all i can find is flat cylindrical pads. thanks.

@stuartfillingham7011 7 лет назад

the chrome and alloy on those wheels looked pretty good, why did you decide to paint them?

@ClassicOctane 7 лет назад

They were pitted and scratched up close. Plus, I like the look of black wheels especially with the brushed metal tank.

@pkck97 7 лет назад

Classic Octane how did you get the paint on the wheels to not scrape off easily? I'm finding this an issue on my diy painted wheels and other parts. Followed steps to the letter too. It's frustrating.
