Loved my cx500. When I sold it I made sure to finish fixing a few issues for the new owner. Things I learned: if backfires on deceleration , replace the low speed idle cutoff diaphragms in the carbs. If you get timing issues the first thing to check is that the plug wires have the correct resistance: and its two different values for left and right wires.
This channel helps me appreciate the old bikes and reminds me that they deserve sun too. I rode my 1982 GPZ1100 today and the bike I affectionately call 'Ol' Breaky' felt great to ride. That big 4 has a soul that makes me smile when it sings.
Adventure bike builds are doing for less popular bikes what low riders have done for a lot of less popular cars; saved them!!! I have seen low rider builds bring long unappreciated (non impala) cars to Sema levels of beauty. Thus preserving them. Now I am seeing cafe racer builds and adventure bike builds do the same for some unloved vintage bikes. What a cool project, Craig! Can't wait to see this build put to the adventure trails!
Sweet. I built a 1981 GL500 into an ADV bike years ago. Now, at 70,056 miles, I still love it! The GL makes a much better platform with the Pro-Link air suspension. BTW, I only paid $200 for the bike. I wish I could send you a pic.
My biggest problem with your videos is you never finish a project that I've seen. You say your going to build an adventure bike and end the video with a project unfinished. Just once I want to see that sweet sweet finished project
Thanks for helping me kill time at work with these. Everyday I just can’t wait to get back into the garage and start wrenching. Got my 05 crf450r I’m restoring and this is great motivation

Stopped watching Sean to come watch Craig 🙂
Honored to have been the inspiration for the build Craig! That CX500 adv build was super fun!
I don't do adventure riding, but every time l ride my $100 1978 XT500, it's an adventure to me.
I'm SHOCKED a seized piston with old head gaskets while cold managed to pull 150psi. Honda really just built different.

I think most of the weight saving was achieved in random bolts falling out each time Craig hit the bike!
Craig building a DIY adv bike from a CX500, this I gotta see! cheers from .au.

Your channel is more and more popular without any clickbait, just by being an overall good guy, thanks for that !
After that comment on the Honda snowblower... I have to share mine.

Ive never bought "merch" from a YT creator before until now. Bought the hat, and the blue BM shirt! This channel deserves it!

“That’s alright $30 feels good.” That’s the mantra this bike needs.
Olivia is a great dog.i had a red nosed bully back when my kids were
