Young man, you have been blessed with a great pair of hands a wonderful mind.
Love that you are watching Mighty Car Mods while you work!
This is my favorite build of yours. Simple. Nice. Love the tank. Money can't buy that look. It only comes with time!! So good
I love your sense of design as much as your mechanical ability. You make amazing bikes.
goosebumps ran through my arms when the engine started ! great job
He makes it look so easy
Nice job! I’m Australian & I notice an Aussie “Monaro” sitting in your yard! Formerly made by Holden, Australia which is now finished!!! GM dumped the brand recently. Anyway great bike build!👍🏼
Here in the states thats are our Pontiac GTO or what they tried to pass off as one. But Pontiac was dumped as well a few years ago.
Dang, just replied same then saw your message. Will leave for now.
I saw it to could not believe it a bloody holden in yank land..
Im gonna try for my motorcycle license this spring & see if I can find a running cb550. Rode a 50cc moped for 2 years before i got a car & wanna get back on 2 wheels the way it SHOULD be. Wish me luck, y'all.
Hi from Russia! Nice job Tailor! It's pleasure to see your video. One question please. What paint you use for frame and wheels, and do you use primer first?
this is something i would also like to know along with what was used to paint the engine.
Love that bike bro!! I can tell you put a lot of heart in what you do. Keep it up!
I am very admiring : masterly technique, passion. A high art form.
I wish i have 1 bike like that😩 i will travel the whole Philippines ♥️💯 but i can't afford one 💔 nice job sir ♥️
I’d love to have a bike like this. Can I ask what seat that is, how the front fork set up has been modified, and anything else of note? Maybe the exhaust?
My dad bought a motorcycle when he was in his teens and shortly thereafter had an accident resulting in a broken leg. His mother refused to help pay for his college unless he promised that for as long as she was alive, he would never own another motorcycle.
She died when he was 50 and he quickly bought a Honda 305 Dream. He had that for a few years during which time, he and my mom divorced and he remarried.
One warm spring day, he and his new wife pulled into my driveway riding a brand new CB550...exactly the same paint scheme as the OP's resto. He let me take it for a little ride. I had a Honda CB400 Hawk (twin) at the time and the difference between the bikes was amazing; the CB550 had so much more pull and felt smooth as silk. It wasn't long before I bought a CB750 and my dad and I had many great rides together. He really loved that 550 and kept it pristine, riding it regularly for 20 more years until illness forced him to stop.
After he passed away, the bike went to one of his grandson's who in turn, passed it onto his own son, who rides it to this day.
(BTW Over 75K miles on the odometer yet the case has never been opened and it still doesn't burn oil)
My family is dealing with a loved one dying of cancer. This video was cathartic. If only we could restore people like we can machines.
Man, i LOVE your work. And specialy the fact that's you really love the seventies'Honda, for me the best and nices bikes ever made. Take care and ride safe from France.
Glad you like them!
beautiful bike and man I really dig the sound :D
I like it where to talk about what you are doing rather than time lapse. As if you're at your mates house fixing your bike together.
I'm glad I watched the 7 day bike build in full that this summarises.
Love this type of video - good tunes and straight to the point - 2 thumbs way up
Definitely would buy something like this if I ever had the opportunity. I mean it's cool to work on your own but I'm not the guy to invest this amount of time and work. It's beautiful nonetheless.
How far do you know how to go with it? I mean, I’ve got my Honda cb550 which is ridable, but how would I know if the carbs need doing, the cam chain tensioner, the forks etc. How far do you actually go? Thanks
yeah! nice build and also great to see mighty car mods in the background :)
Love it! I can't wait to see the CB750 build 😄
Hi Taylor, an amazing build. Could you please share a link for the exhaust baffle? is it cone engineering ? what size would fit cb550 4 into 1 exhaust?
Chopped.... Loving MCM plating on the TV in the back ground. Nice build =)
I really like it when I see the original parts are kept....hard to beat Japanese engineering! great build, subscribed!
Hi there just watched your video, great exhaust sound!! What type of muffler is on the bike. The link is expired.
Happy customer here! Where did you get the exhaust/silencer? I can’t find the system anywhere…
Very nice way to wrap it all up for a fantastic build. Can't wait for the 750!
That's good money man! Respect for those flags too.
ONE OF MY DREAM BIKES!!!! Love it mate!
Epic craft, skill and shop, she's beautiful.
Please don't play music in your videos. We just want to hear you work.
That's quite the shop you have there. How long have you done this kind of work?
Nice job. Saved it from the scrap pile for many more years or use. Also nice car 👌
Question: How does the bolt on seat and battery box get held on? Like do you need to take the battery box off to take off the seat?
where do u hide the accu
U R a superman , Mate . Love you Brother. God bless you , Mate .
What are you using on the end of the drill to clean up the chrome?
Taylor any chance you could list the components of your alternate fuel supply. I deal with old bikes a lot and constantly need a fuel supply I can hang up next to the bike while I work on the engine before I've dealt with the bike's tank. Thanks!
Can you help me with the link to buy that muffler?
Artfully Done, Kudo's!!
Present me...I want very much...I love it.
What size front tire on final build?
is that a LHD monaro? man they must be rare now
need your services on my 76 cb750
What size tires are you running on the bike?
I have a question about a 1975 CB550 that I'm considering. It's not the Super Sport model but is the one with the chrome fuel cap. Anyway, the ad. claims the bike is all original but I'm questioning the exhaust. It has 2 cylinders running into one silencer for each side of the bike. Having said that, I thought these bikes all had one silencer per cylinder. Did Honda make these bikes to have 4 cylinders going into 2 silencers? Thanks
I’ve only recently found your channel Taylor but have subscribed and I am enjoying watching the episodes. I’m from the north of England and had bikes in the 1970s so remember most of the models you work on. We couldn’t ride bikes over 250cc until you had passed your driving test, so most teenagers had small Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki 2 stroke models with only the occasional Honda 4 stroke. This was because the 2 strokes were much faster bikes at the time. Would you not consider working on a Kawasaki triple 2 stroke for instance?. I ask because there is a guy not far from me who imports Kawasaki 2 strokes from The USA in shipping crates and restores them then sells them for very good money. Only last week my local Kawasaki dealer had a fully restored Kawasaki H2 750 for sale in the front window of his showroom, he was asking £18,000 for it. In the 1970s new it would have cost around £700. Anyway sorry for rambling on for so long, thank you David🤓
I'm guessing you really like CB750s! Back in the early 2000s, I converted a 1973 Honda CB 750 drag bike, called the Pink Panther to a sweet a$$ cafe bike. I really wish I would never have sold it now...
Man that's my dream bike everyone looking at Ducati, Kawasaki, Yamaha's big bike's etc... But for me this is it
It's simple looking but elegant at the same time fit for a rider like me who like to chill on a long journey on the road keep up the good work
✌️from PH🤟
Good job :) I prefer the 550 over the 750, just.... fits better. One thing though, restoring into full original is almost a must in case of a 350/4 over here. Including the original mufflers. But hey, far more expensive as well, so thumbs up anyway :)
Very talented young man, love watching the transformations. BTW the yellow coupé (Pontiac GTO?) that we often see in the background was made here in hometown state of South Australia. Here it is a remake of the classic Holden Monaro or HSV Coupé
My first road bike was a 1975 cb 550 4 cylinder dresser and it was all dark green. I loved that bike. The first 2 yrs I put 67,000 miles on it .. sold that bike in 1980 only had 68500 on it. The guy totaled it a week later
Loving this content Taylor, I recently bought a 1977 CB550 and was going to restore it but I’ve watched almost all of your videos now and I’ve decided to build it into a brat style bike. Your vids will be a great help along the way
This is absolutely beautiful. I'll get a cb550 soon, I promised to learn for a year on its little sister, the cb125twin from 1978, now I'm ready for more horses with the same look.
Great quick build, but seriously, keep that yellow Pontiac GTO well looked after because they will become collectors items now that Holden in Australia was killed off by GM just days ago.
Not too bad for a young bucks first time using tools. keep it up, maybe one day you can build something without messing it up with practice.
What front forks would you recommend for a 77 cb550f? I heard R3 has good forks but I'm worried about fitment/price
Man that was a fantastic 10 minutes spent. I wish I had those tools! and that space! Unfortunately downtown LA and space don't go hand in hand.
What did you buy it for?
How much did you end up spending in parts?
What do you think it was worth at the end?
Love the channel!
your sense of balance as far as the look of the bike, how it sets and the proportions front to back are just right IMHO. Really good looking bike and seems like a great runner. Nice job man..
I really want to ask for your help for my old Honda motorcycle, but it will be very difficult because I'm not in your country. but your videos really helped me to be able to do it myself at home. thank you, all your videos are very inspiring.
Beautiful rebuild bike,we see to many early 70’s Honda CB 550 or 750 up here in Ontario.
Hello 👋! Are you ever selling those bike after you done working? I’m always dreaming about to get one like that cafe racer bike.
I have one suggerstion; put a pie cut on the collector area of the pipe where the four come into one. To angle up the megaphone muffler a bit. It looks like it may hit the ground in a fast corner... Anyway, that thing looks good. Nice work!
So you left the corporate world to build bikes. Did you have any prior experience with motorcycles?
So sick, so very jealous
I did the same thing with the Bike Exif 2015 calendar :D Great work dude!
Good work, ugly result.
If i remember correctly you said you like to put on new tires before painting the wheel. i mean i get the logic but doesnt that mean you use a paint that will come off when you change tire? amazing job nonetheless, just curious
What are we talking about to have you perform a transformation like this on a 550/750?
Magnifique 👍👍👍
Love it. Absolutely love it gosh what a dream motorcycle nothing in the world would compare to a gift like that
Great video and bike looks and sounds great. And every man needs a 1969 Camaro in his garage:-)
What tires model are you using on this bike? New follower here!! Thanks 🙏
VERY GOOD VIDEO, EXCELLENT RESULT. ONLY ONE DETAIL ARRANGES THE FLAG THAT IS WRISTED IN THE FUND OF THE GARAGE PLEASE. GREETINGS FROM URUGUAY
Hi, cool, I was made under a pleasant impression, I hope that I will do such projects soon, I wish you success
I wish i be your student huhuhu
Good stuff. I have a 550 and a 500 that I need to rebuild. Like the yellow GTO too.
It'a a beautiful thing.
Love the bike. Good to see some Aussie muscle in the background
I would have thought for sure you would have restored the tank. I was wrong.
Great video! Did you just rattle can spray the rims?
นี่ยางหลังใหญ่ยางหน้าเล็ก
Never heard a motorcycle sound like that, great work.
Black wheels.... junior high school project.
No airbox????
Very nice build! Thank you for sharing!
Simple et efficace. Pas de grosses fourches inversées. Juste l'essentiel. J'adore
You should make a video on how you paint the motor!! Love the vids!
where i can get this seat?
Cool. I fast-forwarded to watch in 6 minutes.
That little 550 sounds sweet after you Got your hands on it.
What is the size of your rear tire? 130/70-17?
That looks and sounds sick !! Great work 👏 👍
amazing i loved it
Awesome build, sounds great on startup
Beautiful, man. Love it. Love the vid. Well done.
Nice video Taylor! Do a yamaha or kawi next
Hopefully you pick up a Mid 80's CB650. I have to do a complete teardown of the engine, and most of the videos out there are for the older CBs.
I second your thoughts. Personally, I'd love to see him build one. Wife has an 85, and it's a hoot to ride.
