Love a little variety!! great channel, it's nice to see friends helping friends. we need to see more so it becomes habit everywhere!!! thank you for being a great example!!
I like to watch videos where people help others and give back. I think the world needs more of that and i honestly think there are more people in the world willing to do that than the media makes it out to be.
That grin on Paul’s face after ripping that bike was what the entire build was about!!! You nailed it!!! I’ve started looking for a bike to rebuild after watching you videos.
Old dirtbike racer here from the other side of the big water (Netherlands), Man you make that Honda 500 so freeking beautiful and perfect. Absolute top work. All the best for you all. Ciao.
Love the channel & like that you mix it up a bit with projects other than dirt bikes.It's a good mix,please keep doing it like have been doing it.Have a great one 🙂
I’d definitely love to see more on some of the things that you work on during the week days!!! Maybe not every one but definitely the cool ones for sure and some of the things that other people might be having trouble with also!! It might actually help someone else save them selves some money if they can do it themselves!!! I’m a mechanic/ welder for the past 25 years and no how things can go for others that have the capability to do something but don’t know exactly how to do or fix certain things!!! Awesome video buddy and Paul’s bike definitely looks amazing for sure!!! I’ve definitely been wanting to find myself a good bike but with being a shorter guy it’s kinda hard!!
Really cool to see you help that young lady out. The fact that she’s going to finish the job is impressive. Not enough young people know how to change their own oil, let alone put a T-case cover back on properly, reinstall axles and put a driveline back together! Keep up the good work. Cars, trucks, bikes…. It’s all good! I’d like to know more about that cart in the shop. Looks like it’ll rip!
I think whatever content you want to provide, doesn't matter to me cause I like it all! You work on everything! Bikes, cars, lawnmowers, adding some crazy builds that make you go Humm, is all the better! Til next time, take care and we'll see you on the next...
Bring the content Brother, I’ll watch it. I had the opportunity to be in Southern, Utah & had the pleasure of meeting Paul & he’s Fab Rats Crew, last week on Monday…..
Them crush sleeves are a beast! I've changed several rear axle housing under warranty with the axle tubes seeping oil from the center section. funny though everyone I changed was a crew cab short box 4x4 lifted over size tires air bags and a 20k or higher fifth wheel hitch and there was always sand falling out from the truck doing it. 😂 That CR500AF. Is a sweet ride I wish honda would of had switched over to aluminum before they stopped building the 5-honeys I remember that smile Paul had on his face had one just like it first time I rode my 86 cr500 love it guys keep up the builds It's always great to hear and see how people come together to help out 👍
Must admit, had several Honda’s both two-wheeled and three-wheeled. All 4-stroke, no 2-stroke. This unit is intriguing to watch, little bit for the 4 to 2 stroke comparison. Thanks again for recording.
Good eye finding those minor defects. Great helping out a buddies family, especially ladies that wrench! & doesn't matter what all ya put up here, we'll watch... Lol! Thanx !
So Awesome to see you keep Paul from Choking on the trails again...,and your friend to get her truck in gear.I look forward to seeing you get your wagon to Haul butt.
Your attention to detail on Paul's bike show's how passionate you are. refreshing to see that in somebody today . Also nice to see you help a buddy's kid out not many people do that anymore. If it didn't snow there this old peg leg would think about moving lol🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏☠️👍
I like watching good people do good things. Dirt bike content is always fun to watch but operating outside your comfort zone will help your channel grow.
i am enjoying all the content i love the fact that your all about helping others good guys with great attitudes keep it up i will watch you recite poetry its all good
It good to your see your life. And what your day to day stuff. You need more content and this helps with that. And maybe it can turn into something more.🤞
Man that thing came out so clean what a good selection of parts I wish I live in your state I would come to you cause I'm stumped I just rebuilt a 96 cr125 it has spark it has to be getting gas so idk it could be the cdi box or the stator but it ran fine before the rebuild anyway good job 10 outta 10 build
Just to be clear it does have spark? And it is getting gas? If so check compression. Is it possible you installed the piston in backwards. O my reason I ask is because I have seen that happen and cause no run after rebuild. Easy way to check is pull the head and make sure the arrow on the piston is pointing towards the front of the bike (exhaust).
Yeah there’s around a 20 lb weight savings with the A/F 500 compared to the original 500. Again depending on years. The biggest advantage ( in my opinion) is the parts availability, ergonomics, and suspension is what makes the A/F a better option for the 500. Bare frame to bare frame the iron frame may actually be a little lighter by a few pounds. But all the parts that bolt on the aluminum frames are very much so lighter which makes the A/F conversion much lighter and better handling. Thanks for watching my channel and I hope you stick around for more fun builds to come.
throw it all out there.!!!!
Anything mechanical is good, thanks.
Good day for sure. You make this Mama proud!❤️
helping friends is always a good thing
Happy little trees! No mistakes just happy accidents! 😂😂😂
Love a little variety!! great channel, it's nice to see friends helping friends. we need to see more so it becomes habit everywhere!!! thank you for being a great example!!

Bikes, Cars, and trucks its all good with me, its a pleasure watching decent people working together to help one another out. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing job, and so cool to see some one, that cares, really cares, you Sr are the best ever.
Cool job well done. I can't wait to see the dream machine you won't in your driveway that, Paul builds for you.

That bike is killer!!! Love the content!!

Bikes are cool but fixing anything and everything whatever it takes to help friends out.
I enjoy all everything you all work on keep it up. Great job on Paul's bike and helping Jena out.
You guys. Are a great bunch of guys what ever content videos you put out are worth watching you know how to have fun. So thank you.

Wrenching and Fabing for over 45 years, You just made me look bad. Great Job! Lets get the Wagons going.....
It's nice when you can switch it up every now and again

T case cover????
@@balisongpro94 I think he meant Differential cover

You did an amazing job, the finished product looks great 👍🏾
Ook dit was een buitengewoon. En geweldig om te zien hoe jullie het samen doen geweldig gedaan 👌👍
Groetjes uit Holland 👋🏼🇳🇱
All things fast and sano are good topics. Have enjoyed everything so far....thanks for what you do.
Maybe a little more riding of what you built??????
As soon as I posted this 3 riding videos poped up very cool!!!!!!!
I like all the content. Wouldn’t mind seeing something with those RC’s on the shelf behind you though.
Paul doesn't use a press to put bearings on differential. He heats them up on his wood stove. Sometimes he uses a torch.
Bring the content Brother, I’ll watch it. I had the opportunity to be in Southern, Utah & had the pleasure of meeting Paul & he’s Fab Rats Crew, last week on Monday…..
more exotic builds like Paul s from fab rats !!
We actually have another great build just like his coming in the next few weeks
Love learning new things. Nice of you to help out John over at Cars and Cameras with the 500.
Them crush sleeves are a beast!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, D A M N that thing looks and runs better than a brand new bike. You did an amazing job. 😊
So Awesome to see you keep Paul from Choking on the trails again...,and your friend to get her truck in gear.I look forward to seeing you get your wagon to Haul butt.
Bike turned out awesome! Wrenchin is wrenchin so it's all good in my hood... :). Thanks for sharing!

The sound of that 2 stroke make my Day 🤙 oh anything with weels and a Engin is cool to see ,have fun 😂😂😂
I like watching good people do good things. Dirt bike content is always fun to watch but operating outside your comfort zone will help your channel grow.
Would like to do a full car build...love you show...
Enjoyed seeing The mechanic stuff
i am enjoying all the content i love the fact that your all about helping others good guys with great attitudes keep it up i will watch you recite poetry its all good
I am digging the variety. Keep doing the things you want...
That silver back ground is super cool we are heading to the big hill jam with are #64 .👍💯
This video was good I enjoyed all of it.
You seem to be a real good ol boy just build stuff and I'll be watching.
A little mix in content is always a good thing.
I feel whatever content you put out is gonna be an awesome content, whatever it is.
All the above on the content. Good show guys.
Keep it interesting do it all
It good to your see your life. And what your day to day stuff. You need more content and this helps with that. And maybe it can turn into something more.🤞
Paul’s motor home in the background
I like all your content as is in real life, we all work normal jobs then play with the dirt bikes
Helping other dirt bikers is dirt bike stuff.
Gearheads are gearheads lol..keep em comin
My niece Became just graduated diesel mechanics school. Nice change up. By the way Paul has a 250R three Wheeler that could use some attention. M
Everyday events the best
Keep up the content I’d love to see you awesome guys wrench on more cars
I like the vibe. You do you.. I'll follow along. Maybe get to do a wheelie sometime together or rebuild a 14 bolt. Either way is good ..
Why not electric starter
All kinds of your skills
Mixed as the opportunity presents itself. Like today. Still instructional.
...Fab Rats Nest!
Other thing you can do is get a Lectron Carb for it, it would run sweet..
Myself I'd like to variety videos you do
Man that thing came out so clean what a good selection of parts I wish I live in your state I would come to you cause I'm stumped I just rebuilt a 96 cr125 it has spark it has to be getting gas so idk it could be the cdi box or the stator but it ran fine before the rebuild anyway good job 10 outta 10 build
Woah you kicked that thing with some gumption is it cause its such a big motor that was turbo start
Just to be clear it does have spark? And it is getting gas? If so check compression. Is it possible you installed the piston in backwards. O my reason I ask is because I have seen that happen and cause no run after rebuild.

and you have a young lady that does not mind getting her hands dirty, and she is cute too
How do I go about putting myself on a list for a kx conversion?
your next build should be a Tiger 500
That would be cool if I could find one
I think it’s a fab rats nest.
I'm really interested to know, is there a pretty big weight savings from the original 500, what does this bike weigh now that it's all together?
Yeah there’s around a 20 lb weight savings with the A/F 500 compared to the original 500. Again depending on years. The biggest advantage ( in my opinion) is the parts availability, ergonomics, and suspension is what makes the A/F a better option for the 500.

@@DIRTBIKEFAB thanks for answering my question, you do great work I'll definitely keep watching.
Is there a correct amount of turns in or out the choke/idle adjuster should have?
Typically 2-2.5 out is a good starting point
@DIRTBIKEFAB is that for the choke/idle not the air/fuel mix screw?
😅like a yall do
Anything you want to video is fine with me automotive diesel or dirt bikes all good here
Do you sell T-shirts and stickers?
We’re working on that. Hopefully we will have it soon
What ever you video is cool. Not everything is surrounded by dirt bikes
Check out panthera motorsports pm 09 motor 600cc 2 stroke
I say show it all, but you know how the comments are they will likely whine about this vid, lol.
We want a story! Tell us stories and we will be happy?
More bike. Truck, car fabrication
Any content is fine by me...
Dirt bikes
Show it all brother! hell yeah!
My dad had one of this 500 this thing is one beast 😊
Holy shit that cleAn stuff works
