Hi from England Taylor, really enjoy watching your channel, I grew up in the 70's my late Father had a CB500 four, I always dreamt of owning one myself but sadly its not happened yet, keep on going fella, it's great that you keep these beautiful machine's going. All power to you 💪.
Been missing your vids matey, hope all is well
It would be nice to see a bottom end rebuild, along with how you balance a spoke wheel.
I'm loving this build so far!. Mild changes to the frame, keeping it somewhat stock.
Big inspiration for my '76 CB550F build. Keep up the good work and please upload more on this project!
Taylor is a boss!!! Respect for the videos. Much respect 🙏🏾
So nice to see you working on old honda's again! Keep up the good work (both on the bikes and videos)
Great job, Taylor. Always a pleasure to watch you work.
You okay? Been waiting for updates from the build and shop.
The seat is a lovely piece of work . Great video
The new camera is definitely better than the last one😮
Always nice to see a new Classic Octane video. (This is the one that was full of water in the engine, right?)
Yup!
Fellow austinite here, your channel is awesome. Not sure if this was mentioned in your video but is there a preference who you take your cylinders to for boring or valve lapping? Have a cl175 that’s gonna need a top end rebuild eventually. Thanks again!
Aye! Love your vids! I'm rebuilding a '78 CB750K and you've helped me A TON!
SUPER keen to see the seat mod in finish up. Have been looking for an option that stays away from the seat hoop and keeps the rear reasonably stock. I am guessing you are running stock air filter if you are keeping your side covers?
I have a 1972/500-4-CB
And I need help to
bring it back to life
After 4 to 5 years
In my garage it's all
On the wheels.
My favorite part of restoring a bike is the tear down.
...and writing the list of new bits to order..?
Kinda like writing your present list to Father Christmas...
🎅 😂 ...or is that just me?
🤔
Cool, I just watched the previous video, and then this one came out.🤔
New subscriber, that's been digging through the channel and learning new stuff.
looking forward to the next video!
Love the logo on the seat!
Nice restoration 😊
Love that seat! I may need one of those for my CB450 :)
New camera looks great!
Don't know where you are located but I have a bike that is to good to junk. I would give this bike to someone who will restore or use it for parts. It is a gs550 Suzuki 1978 that set in a barn for 30 years and has 8000 miles on it. Motor rolls over just fine!
Fantastic stuff, looking forward to more of your work and content!
I have been binge watching your videos and then relistening to then at work through my ear buds. I love what you do and and I love these old Honda’s. I love them so much that I went out a bought a garaged 76 550F off Craigslist in the hopes that I could get it sorted and back on the road. I found out the frame is bent though. I have been calling shops trying to find one that can mend a bent frame. Body shops just don’t seem to do motorcycles or else charge crazy amounts. In Minnesota, it’s impossible to find anyone that has a 550F frame for sale. What would you do to find a donor frame or fix the existing one? Thanks! Love the channel!
Love watching your vids Taylor, i would love to buy one of these vintage 500 or 550 hondas but cant find one in australia for a decent price if i could get one from the States i think i would. Keep your vids going mate great content and very informative, Cheers mate
Like the tires on the bike ,what brand are the tires ? Thanks for showing the video, I bought a stripped cb550 with about 10 baskets of parts ! Going watch all your videos to figure which parts go to !
Hell yeah!!! Love and miss bike building well my one bike.
I would really be interested if you could find an old Bridgestone cycle and get it to run!
Do you check the swingarm bushings for play?
What camera did you get out of interest? Video was great quality 👌
Do you have a "go to" video or diagram for wiring up these builds? I have a 1970 CB350 twin that I bought a new wiring harness for, and I'm not having much luck wiring it up. I've removed the factory electronics, so that's adding a bit of "fun" to the whole process.
Will it run ? 👍
Just wondering. You seem to have a good relationship with tuff side. You think you could have them engineer the seat to use the seat hinges?
Under the seat has some storage. Small tool bag, insurance, registration and small straps to hold a package on the seat.
Greetings from Manchester uk🇬🇧
Me too!
☺
Those older heads with the single overhead cam and 2 valves per cylinder, do look better than the later twin overhead cam engines. They are just too busy up top. I'm sick of looking at them. I know the twin cam/16 valve engines do add about 10hp, but I still prefer the look of the older engines.
Paint everything matte black :D. Engine, carbs, handlebar and levers and also wheels.
I live near you and have a CB550 that needs to be finished. It has a GSZR front end and the engine has been completed by Hondaman. Motogauge ,M-Unit, and toughside seat. Are you inteested??
Do you have a long format frame break down vs a time lapse? Working on my CB500 project and that would help a lot!
Great video!
One method of engine removal and re-install that is easier on the back is to have the bike on the floor, (off the stand) and simply lay it down on it's side, let the motor side case rest on a cushion or blanket, and lift the frame from the motor. Reverse procedure for install. You're welcome!
10trimble Or use two people.
👍👍👍👍 Hello from Belfast Northern Ireland
Hi...just wanted to ask why there is no videos on my favourite channel? Hope everything is okay!?
frame mod perfect if make bopper or cruiser style but idiot make cafe race or race bike style frame.
I had two 1977 550 super sports in the 90's both in great condition. Sold each one for $500. Why in the world would I keep a 20yo Honda. O well
Did you ever finish the bike?
How much for a cb 650 rebuild
What camera did you get?
So…… half a year later and……, air……. Where did u go? U good?!
Onde se arranja esse banco?
why not do something different and restore 1?
Hey dude, love your show. I've seen every episode and learned so much from you. I did a 72' Suzuki T500 2-stroker after getting inspired by you. Anyway, I'm curious as to your opinion on something: have you ever tried strapping your front forks down like this: th-cam.com/video/jxWrx4YjdxA/w-d-xo.html
It's pretty amazing. Not the product, but the method. Anyway, happy to hear your thoughts on that. Also, yeah, listen to everyone about your back health, too! Keep em' coming!
Inches, Quarters and eighths for goodness sake. What happens then, sixteenths, thirty tooth’s and sixty fourths? Then wot? Get modern America your living in the past. No offence Mr classic Octane. Your videos are brilliant. 🏍
You are going to hurt your back. It's not if, it's when.
rust not have big problem, all parts can drop to salt or soda water and elektrolysing get all rust off, then cylinders can bore next size no big job, and all bearing can change cheap job. gearbox parts can elektrylise all rust off and clean shine and butt back.
Where you get that seat???

Build a 400/4
I was here. '22
Old Rusty bike, Gets its New shine! 😄
Would like to see some pictures or a Video of the old Engine. If you have some time, Open it! Seems very interesting whats inside
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I like your work, but hate seeing old motorcycles turn into the same mediocre looking cafe racer builds....
Love the show however hate seeing the bikes modified. They look much better when left stock. Not a lover of bobbers or caffe racers.
totally worst seat, genuine have lot lot better. or modified genuine. perfect have bopper style one person seat, or goldwing style comfortable seat.
😳😊🇵🇰💐🌹🌹🌹👍👍
Talk to much and do to less
