Barn Find CB750 Rescue Time Lapse!

- Barn Find CB750 Rescue Time lapse! This is the journey of of 1975 Honda CB750 I call "Pati" from barn find wreck to fun daily rider. I picked this bike up locally when I saw it in the background of a photo of a random sales listing. The bike has been sitting since around 1977-1978 and unfortunately had no title and a seized engine.
Watch as I take you through the last year of bringing this bike back to life and enjoying every second of it. The goal was never to do a show type restoration but rather to preserve the bikes character and the stories it has to tell. I rebuilt all the original components I could and when something was replaced I actually found used/equally imperfect pieces that would match. I really can't recommend this full playlist enough as I document each step along the journey and have a ton of fun while I'm at it.

Thank you to everyone watching, as well as those who tuned in during the premier as that was fun! Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys this video as I had a lot of fun making it and putting together the story of this bike I love. There will be many who have never seen another video of this bike so if you are curious and want to know more information on each step along the way I have detailed videos at every step of the journey. Those have full commentary and explanations of what, why, and how because there is much I left out here. For those looking for more on this bike I do plan to make a follow up video next about how much I have invested into this bike which should be a great one. Thank you again!
Did you ever get the starter motor working ?
@@stevewilkin3977 It always worked but I never bothered even putting a starter solenoid on it. Its a 1 kick bike and forces me to be patient which I need. You can see it working in this video: th-cam.com/video/mbpp8l_QLDg/w-d-xo.html
awesome stuff. had a 400 four when I was young cheers from Australia.
hi Sir for what concerne the matriculation was it already in order when you bought it? I mean when you buy something as barn find do you have to be in order with all the documents like new to let her ride on the road?
@@humbertholzmann674 In my state you need proof of ownership which is a title. Then once you pass a safety inspection and provide insurance you can ride on the road. The first ride around town in this video is not legal technically but I'm not going far and officers are usually understanding if you are honest
Thank you so much for not turning that into yet another cafe racer. These bikes deserve to be cherished. I have had five of them in my lifetime. Bravo, sir!
I have a 78 CB750 that will be a full build. There was no need to make drastic changes to this one. They are so fun as they are
I second not turning it into a cafe racer! That is what you do to a wrecked bike. Cafe racer to me means the bike has been wrecked and pieced back together and will be a problem in the long run. My daughter bought a almost new bike that was converted and she has had nothing but problems with the hacked electrical system. I owned a salvaged one of these back in the seventies and they kept it stock and I never had a bit of trouble with it and if I did I could go to the dealer for parts and service.
@@macplus3339 that comes down to the builder of the bike. Everyone likes to picture the bikes that are built by amateurs and say that is all of them. Not the case. I build a mean and well sorted custom bike and of course we like to use the cleanest bike that is right for the job. A wreck just means you spend more time repairing/painting/etc than you would by starting with a better bike.
For some reason the cafe style brings for resale valve in some circles 🤦🏼♂️
@@theogtommygunnxxx8971 because people enjoy quality work. My custom bikes can get pretty pricey
all vintage motorcycles fans arround the world apreciate you.... I see your video on 60" display... I enjoy
Well thank ya! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Very good!!!
As a father of two girls (now young women) and a lifelong biker, I cheer whenever I see a young man with an interest in motorcycles and good manual skills. There’s hope for my daughters yet. Not all of todays young men are on social media to the exclusion of real world interests.
Well I appreciate it
What you've done is nothing short of restored a little bit of motorcycle history and nostalgia. Hats off to you sir great job!
Thank ya! Glad you enjoyed!
Amazing job putting this together. Most people will never know how hard this was to do, how much time it takes to put this together, and how many hours you watched this in edit to get it all just right for our viewing pleasure. Thank you so much for yet another fine example of what content creation should be!! Definitely caught my attention for 54 minutes!!!
Big thanks you Mike! I racked my brain on some song choices lol
I know how much effort goes into bringing these bikes back to life, but that’s where the fun is, I have a 76 gt750 Suzuki which I’ve had for 27 years, beck in 2013 it blew a head gasket & the usual stuff of life getting in the way,5 years later I pulled the cover off & thought £@@k,5 hours later it was stripped to nothing, had the frame powder coated, replaced the crank seals, had the wheels & clocks restored, then spent the next 18 months getting it back up & running,best thing I’d done in ages, I put a few clips of it running on my TH-cam channel,
@@bluehazeboy Checked out your channel, GS550 is looking sharp!!!
@@AceCafeBikes I sold it a few years back because I got really frustrated with it, one day it would run like a top, the next day it wouldn’t start or it would run really rough, looking back I should’ve persevered with it,completely original bike apart from the exhaust
Agree so much skill
You have just made a old man happy repairing that Honda 750, just putting the headlamp back on put the smile back on the bike.You are a very talented person. I had one in my early years of life I am in my 70s now. God I loved it. Best regards from the U.K.
Thanks Keith!
Second that, more regards from the UK.......good job
Fantastic video. It’s something I would love to do. 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Me too. I had a '73 that I bought new in '74 for $2,000, drove it across the continent twice and then sold it for $1,000 twelve years later with 83K miles on it. I've regretted it ever since, although I had too many job changes and school changes to have kept it so I had to sell it.
I have a 1975 sitting in my barn that I bought brand new. It has been sitting there since 1988. I keep saying I’m gonna get it running again. It was running great like always, the day I parked it.
Ive had two 1973 - CB - 750- Fours & they were bullet proof..You cant say enough about how good they truly were...Great barn find.
Even riding them today they make me smile. 50 years on they are still good
Exactly my first road bike.. the one I could afford and barely handle as a skinny teenager in the 80's. I never imagined it was so complex. Amazing job restoring this beauty. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed!
I love the pace and flow of this video. No words need to be spoken! Great job. I rebuilt a Honda 160 Scrambler back in my younger days. I’m now 80 and I sure wish I still had her.
My first motorcycle was a 1966 CB160. I've had a LOT of bikes now at 70 years old, but I think that was my favorite. It gave me freedom at 14 years old.
@@bradyrodgers1731 Hello Brady how are you doing today.
😁👍❤👋
Well done sir! This was an awesome trip down memory lane for me. My first bike was a 1971 CB350, and my second was a 1977 CB750 Supersport.
That was many moons ago, but I still remember them both like it was yesterday. Your meticulous attention is to be admired.
Very happy you enjoyed!
"go find an old bike that needs help, invest some hours... and a bit of money, and go have an adventure!" great advice, I hope someday I can do it too just like you.
🙏🙏
The juice is worth the squeeze I promise
Sooo much respect for this guy’s abilities. Truly a joy to watch a Master Motorcycle Mechanic at work!
Well thanks so much Rob!
Im so envy with his skills & knowledge.
Hello Bob how are you 😊
Oil pump rebuild was soo satisfying! Amazing how these old bikes can be rebuilt and come right back to life!
I know right?! They get better the more you use them
And thankyou Honda for making SO much shit out of aluminum, that it CAN be brought back to life with a little polish and hard work.
Had one and rode it for years. Gave it to my daughters boyfriend who had moved to CA. He is probably still riding it 20 years later.
Now that's a proper job, and that's a proper motorcycle. Well done. And thanks for the ride!
Thank you and glad you enjoyed!
I think of all the episodes that I’ve watched on your channel so far, this is hands-down my absolute favorite. You did such a great job with the editing and the flow in the presentation. Just excellent 🫵🏻👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks so much! I wanted it to feel a certain way and when done I felt it was my best video to date
Such an inspiration. It's hard to believe that a guy your age knows so much about bikes built before he was born. Keep up the amazing work, well done.
Thank you much! Let me tell ya its not like I havent screwed stuff up. I learn by doing. Like many I wanted a cafe some years back and started with a kz750 twin, then cx, gs550s, cb750s, and more. Just experience over time
@@BrickHouseBuilds Well you've taught everyone so much and your videography is top notch. I have an old bike and channels like yours are helping me get it back on the road.
My brother bought a 1970 and I bought the 71...Honda 750. When they first came out. Dumped my English bikes and have loved Honda ever since. Nicely done.
Thats what many did for sure. Really hurt the British market
I'm very impressed. I've been a mechanic for many years and I've worked on many different motorcycles. I'm 64 years old and you never get to old to learn something new
Well I'm hoping some of what I did was helpful 🙏
I'm 58 years old and remember everyone had either a CB 550 OR 750 back in the day. Great bikes and a very cool rescue you have done. New to the channel, Hello from Boston.
Thank ya Rick!
Ditto 68 😀
57 here. My first big bike I rode was my friends CB 550. I was 14 at the time. Oh man those times!
Still riding bikes :)
I had brand new KZ 750😎1200 dollars in 1976
@@erikeggenbakstad Still riding here too.
One of the greatest bikes of all times. Built incredibly well. easy to fix, upkeep and a joy to ride :)
I was 20 at that time and the CB750 was THE bike at that time. Now, 45 years older I drive still a 750, but with the more modern technology. Breaks, Frame and so, everything is a bit better. It's a 'clone' from the CB 750, called 'seven fifty'. I think they bury me one day with that bike.
the bike that finished of the British bike industry lol
@@franzinauen8443 Looks like a magna! I've had 2. An 83 and an 85 I think.
Problem with the magna is the front end was too short. It'd start to shimmy at around 95mph
I think it'd have handled better (like the 750 four) with extended forks.
The magna has 6 gears. Just for kicks, I thought I'd see what it'd do as far as low end.
1st gear 65mph, 2nd 85, 3rd 105, and with 3 gears to go, I shut her down. "Because of the shimmy"
I had one of these when I was 18, now I am 61, these bikes were so common in the early 80`s I worked at a chrome plating shop in my teens, they had what they called a 750 Honda exchange, you brought in your engine covers and you walked out with chrome ones instantly, we had a showcase full of em, then we polished and plated your old ones and put them in the showcase for the next guy. I know every piece of aluminum on that bike, we plated the valve cover, timing cover, trans, tappet covers, lower legs, triple trees, you name it. Well I worked at a plating shop so my bike was all chromed out, we had a guy who did painting for us, so he painted mine candy apple red, with gold leaf pin stripe, it was a chore to keep clean, boy I wish I still had it, I traded it for a Kawasaki 900, loved the video.
I love that stuff. Good memories 🤘
Wow, wow and WOW!
A work of art, skill and love.
Thank you for this. I had a CB750 back in 1971. Took it on a 3 months summer camping tour from the UK, across Europe and down to Greece. Watching your video production invoked beautiful memories of this and my younger days. Thank you so much. Kudos. 👍
Glad you enjoyed!
I think this is one of the best rebuild videos I’ve seen yet on TH-cam amazing job and she looks amazing.
Well thank you much! I have a couple more timelapse style videos and all are taken from full episodes of building/reviving bikes. Should be plenty more to enjoy
It really was a revelation to see wow ☺️
"The imperfections tell the story of a life well lived" ; that made me think about me. I would enjoy a full personal restauration.
I think thats why this bike resonated with me so much. The thing just makes me happy
Nothing beats that 4 into 1 sound on a 70-80’s Japanese 4 cylinder bike. What a memory. I was there to live it. I am glad you can experience it too.
🙏🙏
The truly 'iconic' sound was the original 4 pipe, 4 muffler setup. In '69, guys were mesmerized by a sound no one had ever heard before. I was one of those guys. It was all BSAs, Triumphs and the 'little' Honda 450s up to that point.
@@user-ey2ek6il7j I'm sticking with the 4 into 1 👌
One of the most iconic, beautiful bikes ever built.
Agreed
Fantastic work, a very sympathetic restoration, I'm really pleased you left the bumps and scratches, all part of the bike's life story. I had one of these in the eighties and its still one of my fondest memories of riding. Brought a tear to an old man's eye. Ride safe brother!
Thank ya! The bikes flaws were telling a story and I wanted to keep that for sure
Memories
You did an awesome job on the CB 750 build, and the exhaust build and the welding was spot on and the sound was awesome 😊👍
Thanks Ian! It sounded really good with the first setup but I still prefer a 4 into 1
I had a '74 750. I put ~150 K miles on it. Great engineering on that machine. Did 1100 miles one day coming back from FL. in 1981. Kept it another 13 years and finally gave it to a friend.
Thats awesome!
What a wonderful restoration I must say. Hats off to your passion, time, dedication etc. I absolutely loved it :)
Thank you Neil!
Amazing Man 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
l
It is always refreshing to see a classic being given a second chance at life. I have a '78 Yamaha DT175 Enduro that I am slowly bringing back to life and watching this video is definitely plenty of motivation for me. Great job.
🤘🤘
Thank you for reviving the japanese motorcycle wonderfully !!
Thank you much! Glad you enjoyed!
Really dig thoughts Hill-Billy tones! You are so well trained, that one would think, that you have been train at a rail-road locomotive workshop. You are in truth an artisan!!
Glad you enjoyed! I have a variety of music in this for the variety of people watching
The bike and bikers world appreciates your dedication,hardwork and of course your skills. Good job brother!
🙏🙏
Yes.
Dude’s got an amazing skill set.
I watched the video from the beginning to the end and I loved it, I love seeing those old bikes come back to life.
The bike is a beauty, you did an amazing job, I highlight the smart repair you did to the fuel tank, very clever
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your motorcycle 🙂
Thank you!
What a truly inspirational young man , his talents are extraordinary , how refreshing to know that this level of talent and accomplishment still exist in the world thank you for sharing this ,
Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed!
Bikes and twisty country roads.. a match made in heaven.
Sounds sweet.
Grats !!!
That it is! Glad you enjoyed
Wow! Beautiful restoration. You have an impressive skill set, sir!
Although I have no talent for restoring old motorcycles or even working on my own Honda Goldwing, I can certainly tell a master motorcycle mechanic and restoration specialist when I see one. I just stumbled upon one today and it was mesmerizing watching you take that old relic and bring it back to life. Wish more folks had your skills and passion for doing this kind of work. I know there are others out there, but I doubt there are too many better at this than you. Kudos, and thanks for the great content.
Well thank you much!
He had a lot of help. The bike was just waiting for someone like him to come along and bring it back to life using TLC. It sat there all these years just waiting. Thanks for the memories.
That was so satisfying watching you combine your skill, knowledge and talent in such a tasteful rehabilitation of a classic Honda. You nailed it with your personal styling. Love the sound too. Beautiful work.
Thanks so much Mike!
Amazing work, Sir! You looked at that bike and knew exactly what it needed. I enjoy watching anyone work on bikes but when it's an older classic like this one, it's even more of a special treat. :)
Thank you much! Glad you enjoyed
An absolute pleasure to watch.... In this disposable age, seeing you give that old machine a new lease on life is something special. I hope you enjoy her for many years to come. All the best from England.
Thanks so much! Agreed, feels good to keep it going and revive before replacing
Beautiful workmanship, fantastic barn find and sympathetic restoration. Total respect of your skills, and ability to maintain high mechanical standards whilst keeping the patina. Awesome motorcycle.
Thanks so much Gary!
I stumbled on your channel and and am glad I did. These are the vintage motorcycles I cut my teeth on. You bring back memories that are treasured. I rode both 2 and 4 stroke bikes. Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Harley. My friends had Hondas and we loved them. I am in my seventies now and no longer own one or ride. I would if I could afford to but can't. Watching you brings a smile to my face. Thanks for bringing back those happy memories!
Well I'm happy it brought some good memories back!
Those bikes deserves return to the roads again. 😁💪💪💪
Puts a smile on my face every time I ride it!
@@BrickHouseBuilds congratulations!! 💯
Joined your channel this morning . As a retired auto technician this was an absolute pleasure to watch . I wish you nothing but success in these adventures. I’m looking forward to watching .
Well welcome aboard and thank you very much!
@@BrickHouseBuilds I agree wholeheartedly.I have a 750 four sitting in the woods about 2 hrs. away and this video really built a fire under me to go get it out and see if I can revive it.Thanks for your inspiration !
@@leeholt4595 man I really hope you do it!
Great condensation of previous rebuild videos. Both versions are captivating. There are just so many skills displayed - great respect! Amazing transformation from a $100 barn find!
Thank you very much!
Fantastic job. A thing of beauty brought back to life.
Much appreciated 🙏
What an incredible rebuild, think I had as much fun watching as you did bringing that old Honda back to life. We’ll done sir.
Happy you enjoyed the video thank you!
You approach restoring these old bikes just like I do. My last restore was a bone stock 1968 XLCH bringing it back to life after 36 years. I see you have the same passion!
Just a great job keeping the patina and vintage character of this great iconic 750 Honda, THE model that put the motorcycle industry on its ear and set a new world standard. This is the very machine that changed everything! I am old enough to testify to this fact. My XLCH was the Super bike of its time until the Honda 750 Four came on the scene in 1969. When I was 20, I worked as a Honda Mechanic and bought my 1976 Honda 750 SuperSport at a discount off the showroom floor. Knocked it out of the crate during my lunch hour and blew through the assembly in record time. I rode it home that evening. My boss asked me why I didn’t work that fast on the customers bikes…lol.
I ended up quitting a few weeks later, packed up my New 750 four and did a 3 month road trip to the Florida Keys. A leather jacket, wool sweater, jeans, a $19 dollar Helmet I bought at K mart and my cowboy boots and $500 dollars in my pocket. No cell phones back then, no charge card, no camping gear, no nothing! But a big hunting knife. That 750 four was incredibly reliable. The only reason I had to return home was lack of money for food and fuel. Lost 33 pounds on that road trip from 150 lbs.to only 127 lbs. after I returned and made it back home with only $14 dollars! Saved all the money for fuel… lol
Much appreciated! I'm definitely wanting to do some longer roundtrips on this bike but will definitely need that charge cord lol
I love how this man works❤
🙏🙏
What a great light-touch fix up for that bike! It is wonderful that you kept it almost stock. A real gem.
Thank you!
I had a Honda 750 like this one when I was a lad,but mine had twin exhaust either side,good bikes.
Very nice job, I love the way you allowed it to look it’s age, yet everything functioning!
Thanks Stevie! I feel it shows well as-is
Just was browsing and ran across your video. So,glad I did! It was like seeing a old friend again. A Honda CB750 was my first bike as a teenager. For a a little while I felt 17 again. Thank you for saving this bike and the stroll down memory lane.
Thanks William!
pure joy you have to be an enthustiastic motorcyclecyclist to enjoy the expertise that goes into a fine bike,owned a 750 f in 1981 and it was on that i should have kept.
Well I'm glad you enjoyed
WOW !!! I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC SINCE 16 YEARS OLD.I LOVE OLD BIKES THAT RUN LIKE NEW...🔥🔥🔥
Fantastic rebirth of the iconic first super bike. Great to see somebody using various skills learned over a lifetime of loving bikes and putting them to good use. I look forward to more.
Thank you much!
Brilliant job!! - I so love when they fire up for that first time after so many years standing unloved. I'd also forgotten that 750 four sound too. Takes me straight back to the 70s. Love it! 5*
Thank ya! Always the best moments with the first start!
I must say that watching you work on that old bike really inspires me, thanks for bringing that old girl back to life it's really sweet 😊
Well thanks Alan! Glad you enjoyed!
This brings back a ton of good vibes and memories.
I owned one right before joining Uncle. It was a '79 and fast as Hell!
Nice to see one receiving love and affection.
Bravo!!!
Good job son .i did almost the same bike back in 1994 .it was a trashed 1978 CB 750 k .it also loooked great .drove it 4 years untill i sold it in 1998 .today i ride a 2018 fat boy . The two bikes could not be more diffrent that said the honda is a great start and the honda CB 750 is were the 4 cyl motor cycle took off its an iconic bike that ran great .good luck and good job .
Glad you enjoyed !
Great job! I'll never forget the day my friend's dad rode up to his house on a brand new 1969 CB750. We'd seen pictures of them in Cycle Guide, but nobody had seen one in the wild! As budding cycle enthusiasts, my friend and all of our buddies swarmed that bike. Bill obliged us by giving each wild eyed boy a ride around the block. One of the most thrilling days in my then eleven year old life! Thanks for saving this old girl, and bringing back a truly great memory from my youth.
🤘🤘
Barn is the master of build and restoration , the 4 in 1 Honda is one of the best nikes ever made ❤
Great Job! Brings back the memories of the '71 model I had. Probably one of the most reliable engines Honda produced. I ran the wheels off mine until a family and lack of use past it on to a friend who enjoyed it. Thanks for restoration!
Glad you enjoyed!
Boy did this bring back good memories. I was 18 and bought this 1975 Honda 750 4 . Out of all the bikes I had this was the most fun to ride. Thanks for the video, it was great watching you bring it back to life. That 4 into one pipe sound's great!
Well I'm glad you enjoyed!
That was great! Your skills at this are to be admired. I was in high school and remember when Honda came out with this bike. That sound brought back some fond memories.
Thanks so much!
That brought back some amazing memories. Back in the summer of 1982 I spent several weeks touring the western slope of Colorado on my 1972 CB 750. Great job on the restore. I love deep the mellow sound of this great machine.
Thank ya Thomas!
Great reminder of how you brought this old girl back to life, BJ. That final exhaust sounds so right…just the right amount of popping on the overrun. I just wish we could find bikes like this in the UK. Ride safe and treat Pati right, my friend!
The decel crackle is pretty perfect on this thing. We definitely have it easy here in the US with finding bikes
John...the trouble with us Brits is we allowed ours to go to the breakers yards decades ago...then they broke them for parts...and most of those parts went to the scrap metal yards...I used to hate seeing all the ads in MCN weekly for new bikes broken this week...the graveyard for our classics...which were abandoned by owners for newer machines or given up bikes for cars...I knew 30 to 40 years ago we'd regret it...I never let my Kawasaki KH250 go to scrap metal...it's worth a fortune now...couldn't give it away in the early 90's...one of these rare CB750's would auction for up to 20 thousand pounds or more...I wouldn't pay it if I was a millionaire...but I'd restore my KH though
@@markianclark9645 such a shame, isn’t it? TBH, if the opportunity arose, I would personally import a CB750 from the USA and restore it myself
Just stumbled on your video and this is amazing! I've never seen one guy with such an incredible skill set. Glad that you did a rejuvenation and did not attempt a factory-level restoration. Keeping the bike's history makes it more interesting.
Thanks Scott! Its too cool to take away its charm. A restoration wouldn't have been right. I have a cbx for that
This has always been my dream bike, ever since i bobbed my first cb650....thanx for the memories brother....
Much appreciated and glad you enjoyed 🙏
Great video. I was hooked for 54 minutes and I'd already watched all of the original vids! Gave me the motivation to get back to getting my 78 CB750K on the road and ordering some merch from your website tonight! Looking forward to your next upload.
Well thanks so much! Its both weird and awesome that the video doesn't "FEEL" like 54 minutes. I had a lot of fun editing it
Maaan!!! This was so satisfying to watch. I’m delighted that you also managed to reuse most of the old parts of the bike. Thanks for sharing the journey with us. 👌🏾
Glad you enjoyed!
Absolutely great job resurrecting a sleeping classic into a usable classic. All those hours put in, ending with the perfect patina. Well done man!
Much appreciated!
Had a friend in the ‘70’s that had this bike..very jealous of him. Loved your video, no unnecessary talking. Well done.
This timelapse is made from 20 plus videos where I explain my process. Most of my audience values the education side of things so I put great energy into that side of it.
So awesome. I do the same thing and love the thrill of seeing these old gems be returned to where they belong and appreciated.
Thank ya! Glad you enjoyed it!
Lovely to see this old Honda come back to life. Such a beautiful bike and that exhaust sound was superb!! Well done mate on such a great job.
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you!
I bought one of these with a fairing and extra lighting. The alternator(stator) burned out 100% on our trip. Once it got fixed it was a great bike.
Yeah lighting is very taxing on these bikes. A modern reg/rec and led bulbs really helps
Man, you've done an awesome job! At first look, you get a piece of crap, but since you take it in work and clean it up, I appreciate it more and more. The bike was really not as crapy, as looks in the beginning. Meanwile, I rebuild an old Ducati M900. But I went another way: totally disassemble, sandclean the frame and chassis, crancase, wheels, powderpaint, install hydraulic from 848 and STM clutch slave cylinder. So, when I see the job, like yours, I think, that your approach is much more appreciated, and your Honda is real treasure!
Glad you enjoyed! This was a fun experiment in reviving somehting rather than restoring. My custom builds and restorations get taken down to the frame
Your passion for motorcycles and abilities are an absolute joy to watch. Very impressive. Thank you for sharing and Bravo to you!!!
Thank ya Stephen!
You did so many things expertly and with such care. Including the video production! Wonderful to see your craft unhurried by modern constraints, for the inherent value, which is so pure and came out so well. Thanks for sharing. Very inspiring.
Thanks so much Nathan that means a lot. I don't like to rush
Nice work.Saving a vehicle from becoming a trash helps Mother Earth a lot.Keep it up bro.Will do it also...Thanks for being an Earth warrior!
Thank ya!
Thanks for giving life to that bike again.❤❤❤
Excellent build. Very impressive welding on the exhaust. Keep the videos coming!!!
Thanks Dave!
That's the best restoration video I've seen in a long time, and I agree with the level of input - no need to have it back to showroom condition - leave it look as though it has a soul... Brilliant job. 👍
Thanks Craig!
What a joy to see this beauty bought back to life, and you paying it so much respect.
Thank you!
Great video mate, and beautifully done. Thank you for tastefully restoring this epic machine. That exhaust note is a pure symphony!
Thank you!
gotta agree mate. nothing like a 4 into 1. and that one was very well done
Great resto-build of your CB750! It's a true classic. In 2000 I bought a 1974 CB750, it was missing some parts and so was a good bargain and parts back then were a lot cheaper than today. I bought a 75 CB750 gas tank, in the same color as yours, Candy Sapphire Blue. I also managed to find matching side covers in the same color. It was a great bike, sure wish I had kept it! You have a great channel!
Thank you! This bike is planet blue so not quite as bright as the other. Still a lovely color
Beautiful CB750 I like how you cleaned and detail the motorcycle without removing the aged patina. I owned a 73 Honda CB 500K1. Excellent video.
Thank you! It just had so much character I didn't want to disturb. Glad you enjoyed!
Nice, this bike is a myth and you have made a real "restoration", not a refurbishment as often do people who restore objects or vehicles. You have kept the authentic patina of this bike and that’s really good. Bravo, very nice work...
Thank you
That's the best video I've seen on the internet of a restoration. Thank you for taking the trouble to make it. I learnt a lot from watching - you are a skilled man!
Glad you enjoyed Tim! This video simply skims the surface but if you want to know hownI do the work I highly recommend the full playlist where I go in depth
Hell of a video. Nice job!
Two things that really stood out: First was the great work you did with the fuel tank popping out the dent and clearing the rust and Second, no matter what you were doing to the bike you had the tools to do it with. Having a well-stocked shop to work in makes a big difference. Great video! Definitely deserving of a thumbs-up and a new subscriber.
Thank ya! Its not like I bought all the tools at once. I've slowly acquired them over the years as I find out what I need the most. Definitely nice to have them though
One big prob: To find parts that will work, no need for to use 50 yr old parts that will break soon. Another prob: If you need the help of a pro garage it will kill your amount, it will be VERY expensive. Sometimes the garage who fits my own bike restore these old Bike Ladys and after that they sell them for lots of money but its a lot of heart blood in them, you cant fit these old bike on regular store times. But, if you see the prices for really good and NOT damaged ones (Bobber, Cafe Racer etc) in original condition you see that many fans will pay good prices.
What incredible mechanical talent! Beautiful, soulful bike!
Much appreciated 🙏
This is just such an exceptional build and video...I grew up as a teenager with these bikes and it brings back fond memories
Thanks so much!
Great work and impressive skills bringing an old classic back to a real world rideable state.
Thank you!
Congratulations on 1.8 million views...pretty incredible task. Shows the love people have for these vintage bikes
Thank ya! This video has done insanely good
I love that your first step was pressure washing. That makes it SO much easier to work on something. The heat gun isn't something I've thought of using in that way before. Thanks for the idea.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Sounds damn good. I apprecite all the work you put into this bike, including redoing the electrical system. Certainly did this bike good!
Much appreciated 🙏
