No I didn't think about anti glare, that's a good idea. I definitely do need to install a new cable, because I did replace the speedo cable. It was working really well before all this though, but also still 44 years old haha.

@@Badenhawk often the square drive rounds off and slips, or the inner spring breaks . . cheers.

want to mention a coolant sensor cost me about $120 WAY OVERPRICED. BUT i needed it so I fiugured what the heck.. I regret it now.

Did you save it and seal it or replace it?

Well I'm glad I could help all the same!

@@Badenhawk Any tips on making the choke mechanism work smoothly? I reconnected the spring hook but it seems to just close the choke sporadically. Would you spray it with wd40?

@@Andgrey I oiled with a bottle of 3 in 1 oil inside the chamber where the butterfly valves attach into the side wall and that help mine quite a bit, I had also just done an ultrasonic clean. I noticed when it went together it seems a bit sticky, I oiled the springs and other moving parts too. I've heard people use WD-40, I just like a dropper instead of a spray. Then I had to work the mechanism a bunch to get it to go smoothly.

Never mind, I just needed to wind the spring around a couple more times. It was way to loose before

I used a pair of pliers to hover it over my stove top to slowly heat it up until I could lightly pull it free. It's sketchy, I know lol. I've seen other videos that did it better, mine is pretty amateur.

Well atleast you did not wreck it, when I squeezed the top to pull it out the plastic ring cracked, I'm just not confident now to spend another 50$ but maybe I just did not heat it up long enough

@@michaelgamber5408 oh dang that sucks! In the next couple weeks I plan on dropping my engine and doing the proper fix or having a machine shop bore out the hole. But my bike seemed to run great all last riding season with the shep fix.

I'm thinking I'll open it up and maybe I get lucky and by cleaning it up and using the new polo mint it will be functional

Yeah, what's nice with these LEDs is that it isn't dims and brights, it just aims the beam low or high. I'm glad I could help!

Thanks man! I was intimidated because I've literally never done anything like this before, and I designed my video as such so I really hope it helps you out.

That's cheap from over seas...what did you purchase? They only want $22 to ship an undertail for my GSXR which is light weight because it's plastic but it's long ...I imagine it would be $20 or more to ship it within the USA ... thanks for your help

I'm just glad there are products to help us save these tanks!

Hey I appreciate it! Man, I wish I were some sort of mechanical wizard but I'm not, just a dude who is also learning about bikes and putting my adventures on TH-cam. My only thought it that it's a backfire from maybe running too rich? I heard that my popping sound was from my carbs not being 100% cleaned, but I have since cleaned them again and have ran a bit of seafoam through them along with ethanol free gas and that seems to have sorted it out.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks man!

Hey! Yeah, I'm singing your praises! Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Thank you! I can't afford a new tank, and even then they are used tanks and who knows what condition they are in lol. So for me, this is my option. I'm just really glad that there are products that can save tanks, but most importantly something I can do diy to save some money. I'm also very fortunate to have a friend who welds professionally, he gives me a really good deal so that saves cost as well.

Thanks man! I appreciate you taking time to watch it. I was pretty nervous starting this project. I did have to be reminded by Dave at NWT to not overthink it and that this is supposed to be fun, hearing that from the creator of NWT is really refreshing. Such a cool company.

@@Badenhawk that's what its all about. I have to tell people to slow down and take breaks. I do the same. One piece at a time!

I used my original ones, though I probably should get new ones. You can get new ones from 4 into 1 4into1.com/carburetor-rubber-passage-plug-set-of-2-honda-cb-cm400-450-cx-gl500/

Thank you for your help however I looked it up and they only have it for the cb750 not for any other cx500 or gl 500 the ones I need are the emulsion slow jet nozzle the ones that go underneath the main jet #78 the one underneath the black rubber plug do you know which ones I’m talking about???

@@krislopez3913 ah, I see what you are saying now. I'm not sure where to buy them, I didn't have to replace any of mine, so I haven't looked.

Well Thank you for your assistance man , I’m still having a hard time trying to remove this slow jet nozzle it’s hard bro … 🥵

@@krislopez3913 did you see my other video where I took mine out? It takes time, a little heat, a little tapping. Don't rush it, because you could break something pretty easy. Mine was super nasty, but I was able to clean it up.

I'm still working on the tank, more holes popped up that are getting welded this week. As far as the seat, I've only had it for 6 months or so but it has held up well, and I anticipate that it will continue to be pretty awesome.

I'm pretty sure it was that, infant remember 100%, it works but I did have to reinforce the main bolts with a nut after using the Dremel to make them fit, since the threads did strip a little the first time I put it on. It was only $17, so you get what you pay for. Now that it's reinforced I haven't had any braking issues, but probably wouldn't buy again.

Yeah, I realized after recording this one that the 16:9 landscape is much more TH-cam friendly. I'm also recording from my phone for ease of access, I'll see what I can do about a gimble for it.
