Looking sharp! I think most older bikes benefit from an USD fork swap.
So do I! The only downside is if it leaks your brakes get messed up and that's a bad fixing and cleaning. Other USD forks are amazing to look at.
Is a nice luxury, heavier steering though with the wider tyre, but worth it.
Hello, can we put this speedometer on a cx500 if we keep the original battery ?
Anyone else think it had 3 wheels cause of the thumbnail?
Great video many thanks. I am in the middle of converting a CX500 Rat to a Cafe Racer so need to change a few things over. Could you let me have a link to the handlebars (if not stock) and the rev counter you used here? Once again, many thanks for posting these videos - really helpful!
I don’t have a link unfortunately but any clip ons you find online will do. As for the Speedo I threw it in the bin
"One mouse worth of fur." Is that a British measurement? Enjoy the videos.
Sure is, we don't do imperial here, just pets
I have a question. When you put on the rearsets. Did that go where the passenger pegs used to be?
I didn’t put any rear sets on this build
I've just got done binge watching all of the CX500 build. Truly enjoyed them all. I owned a 1978 duel pipes, single brake disk, she was a really fun M/C to ride. I wish I still had her! I have been looking to buy another one, but they are hard to find that are in decent price range and condition. It seems everyone wants to make them into a café or bobbers... Now, on to the GS build... Subbed @ 82,797
Shame you couldn't make it to the DGR on the CX, I did the Oslo one on my old GSX750ES Cafe. It was very cool. You had considerably less problems with your dial than I did. The coil feed on mine was to noisy for the tacho to work so had to add a high pass filter to get a clean signal (resistor and capacitor). Mine stores the mileage without a battery, think its in the settings. I even have the fuel gauge and gear indicator working :-) They are cheap junk though and don't think mine will last. The needle pivot is vibrating like a goodun already. CX looks great though.
Looks stunning. Can't wait to see you riding that beauty as a Distinguished Gentleman. Cheers across the pond!
Thanks. Unfortunately I didn’t get the CX ready in time. Gear pedal broke. It’ll be next weeks video. Still a riding video though. I ended up going on the Ducati to the DGR
Darn! Fate wasn't smiling at you. Looking forward to the video and I'm sure your gentlemanly distinction was equally well made on the Ducati. I work for a small biotech company, we develop novel cancer therapies. I appreciate your dedication and contributions to the cause. I wish we had something like the DGR here in Boston although I'm not entirely sure if the concepts of either "distinguished" or "gentleman" can be claimed for anything in our current political climate. If I can figure out in time how to support you I pledge a donation to your 2019 ride. Keep up the good work.
ah, how interesting, good to know someone who's contributing towards the fight. Ducati was ok to ride but not a head turner yet, it was sporting a new belly pan though. a video on that soon.
Man I'm a lil late to the punch. I just got a new job and haven't been on TH-cam that much this week. Tonight I was like... better check on for the bold. Great vid! Great bike! Can't wait for the GS.
Sorry, but with the difference in language I don't understand spoken English very well, I wanted to ask you, where did you get the tachometer signal from?
I wouldn’t recommend it.
@@forthebold In the sense that it doesn't work well?
Not at all. I got the tacho signal from the left coil. But I decided against using it
That number plate holder kosher? Looks like something the Romans used to put on their chariots to cut the legs of horses. Looks and sounds great. Job well done.
It's often used like that by me.
Can somebody tell me what tune is playing at the end of this video. It's top 👌
Prince does pop!
For The Bold - dreegez thanks buddy 👍👍👍
Sorry I wasn’t being serious. It’s a free song from TH-cam’s library but I can’t remember what it was
An odometer is neither a legal nor an MOT requirement.
Unfortunately my insurance company request photographic evidence of milage of all my bikes
@@forthebold Letraset. :-) m.th-cam.com/video/XHQGeWhV5A0/w-d-xo.html
Do M.o.T. check dB level ?
No, but it's up to the tester's discretion if they think it's any louder than the standard exhaust on that model, ehem!!!
Wow !!! I just love cafe racer bike 🏍 lucky you man cheers. Thanks for showing beautiful bike. Yes did liked and subscribed. 🙏
Thanks for the sub!
I have a Daytona velona and it have a red cable (not a yellow the notice is wrong) wich have to be connected to the positive directly after the battery (before the switch) so it can save the setting and milage etc...)
The only problem I have with a constant power plugged into it is that my LiFePO4 battery fails quickly with a parasitic draw, plus I unplug my batteries for long periods of no use.
There ya are! I was getting worried about you, dude. Lol. I missed the DSG here in the states. Maybe next year. Good to hear you are getting back to the videos. How's the family?
Ha, always here, all is well thanks. Next year will be bigger and better for DGR
I've got the same dial and unfortunately I'm having issues with it. Could you please make som kind of review on it and explain some things. Especially the part wit rpm and memory power cable cause mine seem to have that if I recall correctly.
This one might be thrown on the shop floor soon.
I bet you’re going to have so much fun with this bike on the road!!
It is fun, and very light.
Who have you used for insurance, and how much, having a problem getting a quote for myself
I’m with bikesure which is part of Adrian Flux. I’m on a multi bike deal so I pay very little. Also my age works for me.
I had that same gauge and there is two power wires one hooks straight to the battery and the other to the ignition switch are anything that turns on when you turn the key. The only problem I had was I couldn't get it to work with my tach.
There is that wire but my battery can't take drains like that ::(
My brother bought the same dials and he also has the same issue with mileage storage. He did get it to store some, but I believe it eventually resets or isn't very accurate.
It's possible, you can hook up the power lead to the battery for storage, but then the issue I have is that the LifePO4 battery I have doesn't like parasitic drains like alarms etc, definitely a dial swap for me.
Beautiful!! Very inspirational
Order them! They are great wire strippers
looking good, but as you said, 100 % needs black USD forks on it.
One day perhaps ;)
Maybe add an auxiliary lithium battery for dial memory?
Is an option.
Awesome to watch!! Congrats! Can't wait till you get it out on the road!! 👍👍
Thanks, next week ;)
Looking and sounding awesome 👍 I believe there is a wire on the gauge that is a constant power for memory, seen it on another vid since I bought the same gauge setup. Good luck
You’re right. There is. But unfortunately my battery can’t cope with parasitic drains. And it’ll be disconnected over the winter months :(
@@forthebold I have a battery tender hooked up on my battery, it's good enough to not over load the charge and keep the battery fresh all year
How did you mount the rear light on the CX500?
Double sided tape. But I am going to integrate it into the seat
Is that a Koso speedo or the cheap version from China?
Cheapy.
I have the same Speedo gauge and I am able to disconnect my battery and it still records / remembers the mileage.
Does it, the mind baffles!
this is the amazon link i bought mine off of. Could be worth a shot to give it another go possibly. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J77O0OS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It should just plug in to the existing loom you've done. I know that some of these units have different firmwares. when you go into your settings, do you have a single "page" with all options? or do you have to page through various screens to enter cylinders, wheel circumference, etc. This 1, (the one I have) has everything on 1 screen) like the "interface 2 section of the manual on the final image".
@@forthebold
The bike sounds great man. Nice work
Thanks :)
Was kinda looking forward to seeing you ride the cx500 at the DGR... Got any footage of you at the DGR that you’re going to share with us?
A video of the CX road test is next week and DGR video will be this Friday
For The Bold - dreegez
Sweet! Looking forward to both. For a minute there I thought your non-MOT might have prevented you taking part at the DGR ;)
I couldn't take the CX500 so I attended it on the Ducati, sporting a new belly pan at least.
sounds so good
Great video mate. Glad to have you back.
Good to be back, another video Friday.
Snap on wire strippers are great! Get some.
I wish I had snap on tools
nice bike
Coool
Blah blah... cmon. Zzzzzzzz
Watch another channel then.
For The Bold hey man, thats exactly what i did.. jumped to the 15secs of the bike going 10m and quickly left rather dissapointed, never to subscribe...
That’s fine with me. If you don’t like the content then no reason to subscribe. More suited channels for you out there.
Really need to see what's coming next ;-)
However, I cannot remember what kind of counter is this one ?
Did you told us before ?
Regards
A rubbish one, ha... It's going to be swapped.
Sorry, I hope my poor english skill is not betraying me. :-P
I'm suprised you don't want to keep this speedmeter : it looks nice with this rev level and all the backlight where the speed will appear.
Isn't-it a KOSO one ?
Regards
It sounds right. It was unbranded when I got it but the mileage counter isn’t accurate enough and it doesn’t keep the mileage recorded.
OK. So if you want, check Koso products. I'm "scramblerizing" a CB500 ;-) and I found the Koso DL03SR speedometer looks fine and should fit my project.
all of your videos is my favorite
Amazing. Great stuff
Super :)
Cheers
Glorious!!!
Thanks.

hi
Hi
That sound🔥🔥🔥
It’s a bit too loud when riding it
Music to my ear 😎
it would be perfect with a bit wider rear tyre.. nice job man
No room unfortunately, 120 is the maximum width for that swing arm :(
Standard was 100 at least
I'm sorry, but a motorcyclist should not be a Distinguished Gentleman. A biker is a bad ass outlaw! Anyway, love your videos, and going from only riding new sports bikes to getting a cafe racer I'm finding your videos very useful
Ha, true, but still good to have gentlemanly values and bad ass ;)
