It is so satisfying watching these videos of bike rehabs. I could watch this shit for hours.

@m.e.g.a.n.l.e.i.g.h Год назад

I really enjoyed this video. I enjoy someone who takes a old classic Honda 550 and brings them back to life. They were great bikes. A totally iconic bike. And it didn't have to be a 750.

@jolivas1437 4 года назад

Haven’t seen your channel in about 2 years man. When you were working small projects out of your home garage. Awesome to see the changes.

@mussimike 4 года назад

Appreciate your dedication to this marathon, helps to summarize what needs to be done on a total rebuild.

@rrz464 4 года назад

Been looking forward to this! Clicked faster than I do for the notifications from Cleetus or Fasterproms! *edit* Damn good first day of progress. Hoping for ease and smooth re-assembly for you! Looking forward to tomorrow afternoon's build!

@jtmbenchrest7326 3 года назад

Awesome work brotherman! I'm not a mechanic and just picked up a '77 CB550K FOUR. This video makes me want to start wrenching!

@LlamaNomaNinja 4 года назад

Bro thank you so much for posting these videos. they are a education for those of us new to custom builds, im currently building a brat out of my CB550 that I rode for years before I T boned someone. So now I have no excuse but to rebuild it.

New to this channel but cracking video, I've subscribed and looking forward to the rest of the build. I'm currently doing a 73 CB750 myself. 👍

Excellent. I am learning a lot by watching your videos. I am working on a CM450 myself. Looking forward to seeing the final product.

If you have the bike flat on the side, you can get the engine out easier. Love your video's bro! Love from Amsterdam

@ClassicOctane 4 года назад

I do that for 750s because I use my engine crane. These I like to just pick up on the lift so I'm not picking up an engine off the floor. Thanks for watching!

@woncameron24 4 года назад

Some new editing here was great. Music as well as speed shots are nice improvements. All the best with this build and your 2020 business plan.

I'm surprise you don't blast the frame. I built a big blast enclosure outside to fit frames

Great video, can't wait to see what is next , makes me want another old Honda , the CB500/550 is a little small for me , but a 750 would be perfect, ( you need to build one of those ) 😁

@ClassicOctane 4 года назад

I just built two 750s but I didn't get to share most of the builds. I have a 750 of my own that should be going under the knife in the next month or so. Stay tuned.

@krisdevlin4151 3 года назад

Hey man totally love your channel and builds. I'm recently rebuilding a Honda vfr400. Was looking for some advice on cleaning up the engine and removing old paint. What strip and clean discs do you recommend? What ones are you using on the frame in this video and would they be suitable for the aluminium engine I'm working on?? Thanks all they way from Scotland in the UK 👍🏻

That tripod looks really old school, around early to mid 70's or earlier.

The bbq/owen cleaner is really good for metal. But never use it on aluminium.

@woncameron24 4 года назад

T, when’s the 550 mono shock conversion project coming? Would love to watch that.

@ClassicOctane 4 года назад

It will be brought in as soon as this green CB500 is done. I hope to start on it next week!

@woncameron24 4 года назад

Tyler - what about a viewers choice bike you can them raffle off to the highest bidder? I know Kott and some others have done raffles. Fans of your channel can vote on base bike, style, paint, etc.

@daveco1270 4 года назад

How heavy was that engine? I thought for sure that would be a two man job, pulling that thing out and carrying it to the stand. I like your brat style builds a lot, but I miss having a little bit of fender on the back of the bike. Some people cut off the fender and put on a seat that seems way too short.

@ClassicOctane 4 года назад

It's about 140 lbs. I like the look of a rear fender on some bikes, especially with an upswept frame hoop.

@mikeeger7581 4 года назад

That’s. Why I love my 43 hp 79 cm 400 bc I have the same horse power with a smaller engine,, sort of the 2 cylinder engine is really not smaller just easier to handle the top end ! Lol 😂

Where’d you get that sweet mask?

@capomak1 4 года назад

Great video. Looking forward to this build. Can you tell me where did you got the Protective Mask that you using when grinding and cleaning up the surface rust on the frame?. I have never seen one before like it. Thanks

Could you give me your best guess at carb jet sizing for my 550k3,78. I am in England, bike runs pod filters and 4into1. Also float height for keihin pd46,s. Thanks in advance.

I’ve got a ‘72 CB 500 that I would like restored. Do you do commissions?

@justenstryker1 4 года назад

Hey Taylor, is there a reason you don't use primer before painting the frame? I'm about to paint my frame on my 80' CB650 and am considering using etching primer. Thanks!

@ClassicOctane 4 года назад

Primer isn’t a bad idea but the VHT paint doesn’t require it.

@justenstryker1 4 года назад

Classic Octane Gotcha! This is good to know. Thanks!

@richie9777 4 года назад

@brutuzhni 4 года назад

Hey check out cameron niemelas videos and his scotch brite wheels! They give nice shiny finish on aluminium and helps cleaning those corroted parts. Keep up the good work!
