I love when you start the engine, TH-cam's autotranslate/captions says "[music]" :) indeed it is music to a gearhead's ears! Great job with the build progress!
This bike looks and sounds terrific!
Really is one of the best bike building channels on you tube Taylor keep it up
Thanks!
Alan Dow yes I totally agree. Out of all the builds I watch, and they are all pretty good in their own right, this is the guy I would commission a build out of all of them.
Great Video! Perfect example of some real world troubleshooting. Glad you didn't catch fire!
Very nice sound, glad to see you're having fun
Great video!
Great video dude, You explained that very well, kinda made me jealous when I saw you riding it, looks like its going to be a fun bike.
Sounds righteous, Taylor! 🏍👍🏍
Hi, great video Taylor, thanks. Gus
Sounds really good.
You're right it sounds great, and the diode explain was helpful
keep up the great videos
Good stuff!
Nice bike ...thank you for sharing.
Anybody else notice that it sounds like it's running on three cylinders?
nice to see a first ride, and a nice surprise on the electronic ignition already being in it. little more of a nasty surprise on the diode, but, it happens, and good to see the diagnosis on it. Question, the pod filters, are the an oiled foam filter? if so, might want to do a how to or something on cleaning and oiling them, I have done this myself, but am sure many viewers haven't and/or might not be aware of this aspect of some foam filters. Awsome video once again, thanks for putting them up.
Man you need to adjust that camera on the helmet. Throttle not coming down fast enough after letting go of the throttle, that is an indication of intake leak. Diodes keep the current from going back down the line only in one direction. You can use two diodes in opposite poles and make it into a voltage limiter to set a voltage to a proper limiter as a limiter circuit.
the sound growl :D .. and ofc the build it self .. even more growl :D .. looks so good looks so hot its about to burst into flames :-p
I really appreciate all of your videos I've posted before on how you've inspired me to start my rebuild on my CB's both 1981's 900custom and 750 just tore down my 900 fixing to blast engine to clean the freaking black rattle can off. Question what seats do you use want that café look without having to cut and weld. And do you have any suggestions for good frame prep and paint?
Thanks again for your time and videos.

Fantastic. Still curious what you will be doing with the front fender. Love the sound too. As for the rear (and I know there is a vid for it but I will put my thought here), perhaps do the cut out for the wing nuts, but shape the cut to look smoother. If that doesn't work, maybe at the very least have part of the fender to block the air exit for your electronics. Either way, really looking forward to the completion of this awesome project!
Hey, I had one of these diodes on my 73 CG125, my bike didn't have a regulator/rectifier in the wiring diagram so I just thought that this was it. I was having serious wiring issues with bulbs blowing out and swapping this didn't make a difference. Still to this day can't figure out whether it is a rectifier or not.
Hi Taylor. The starter solenoid requires a negative to operate. The negative comes from either the clutch switch (pulled in) and or the bike neutral switch. The diode is to prevent the clutch switch back feeding to the neutral indicator light. I have cx500, the drawing clearly demonstrates this.
This Channel is invaluable. Taylor, could you give me some details of that muffler please. It sounds great, man. Thanks
hey man! really love your job and enjoy your videos! do you recommend any book or link for a beginner in this subject? thanks a lot!!
Just binge watched this entire playlist. Great! My first bike was a '73 CB500 Four.
This channel is the best thing since the original BBC Wheeler Dealers. Bravo.
I'm concerned with one thing I noticed on the first ride video. Are the handle bars bent? The left grip looks closer to the rear than the front. As there was a substantial dent on the left side I'm wondering if the bar was bent too.
Really enjoying the channel. Keep up the good work.
I'm out here in ATX from Aus, went to cars and coffee had a blast. Got to see Ken Block and Travis Pastrana in the pits for free. Wish I had a bike to get around on!
Revival Moto Sunday!

Oh neat, I'm gonna try get over to it for sure!
the diode is for the clutch safety switch and neutral safety switch so only one or the other has to be active to start the bike.
Hi Taylor. The starter solenoid requires a negative to operate. The negative comes from either the clutch switch (pulled in) and or from the bike neutral switch.

John Howard same here on the CB400T
Nailed it Taylor and John
awesome
Ah, you let the magic smoke out!
Don't know what made you think your black power was shorted to ground, but on my cb750 the resistance from the black to ground is 2.2 ohms, key off of course. This is due to bulbs. If it were truly shorted it would immediately blow the main fuse. I could imaginne a little grease or whatever smoking as current ran thru it for the neutral light.
Keep those revs up help you keep from
Stalling
No 4 was way off on reponsiveness when revved but you didn't mention it?
The diode stops you acidently starting bike in gear unless the clutch is pulled in
Have you ever had a stock seat get stuck closed? My key turns the lock to lift the seat but it's still stuck. I've loved your videos lots of tools and parts now on my list to get that will help me.
Yeah, the mechanism can get a little sticky over time. Have you tried pushing down on the seat while you turn the key? This will take some of the spring pressure off the mechanism.
Rather than a rear fender. Would making a splash guard as part of the frame be an option?
The 550 what aftermarket exhaust do you have on it? i love that sound. And do you know if you can get it for a CB1100? I just bought a 2014 CB an it is too quiet. Love your videos keep up the good work!
Delkevic 4 into 1 with a Dime City 12” muffler. Thanks for watching!
Great vid...nice electrical fix as well. Are you going to make a bracket for the exhaust?
Thanks! No, the exhaust is really solid how it is currently. I don't see a need to add another mounting bracket.
Oh, so they aren't only held on by the headers then? From the pics, that's what it looks like, but if there's another mounting point...then that's good. After a while, vibration/riding, those header bolts can snap off (I've found this out the hard way...unfortunately). Just a thought.
Anyone else thinking 'put some clip-ons on it as it looks really café racer'? No? Just me then ;).
Love ur videos!
I would really like a bracket/holder for the exhaust at about where the rear brake is...

I've been sitting on my Dyna Electronic Ignition for a year now. I was really hoping to see you install yours to motivate me to do mine. I've got a 76' CB550F. I guess I'll just have to sac up and do it. Keep up the great content!
Hi Taylor, nice project. I restored 72' CB500 and also has same issues with electicity and found you have also electronic ignition. The question is do you have a electric lack of power? When I turn on all lighs cause we have such regulations in Europe after 200 km battery runs out. I checked everything and found that might be an issue with electronic ignition which takes c.a. 60W of power, when adding all lights plus losses on rectifier, regulator it is more or less same value as alternator produces. Just curious if you also noticed such problems.
I haven't yet. I don't usually run the headlight while I'm riding during the day.
Please don't start clickbating
The video was nice as always tho
Love your videos man! I'm rebuilding a 74 cb550 and they've helped me a lot, quick question though. I've run into a problem where my kickstarter hits my right peg. I've done a bit of research and I can't come up with anything to fix it, would you recommend getting new pegs or whats happening?
Also just a side note I had no clue about anything bike related before I started this project. Do I just have the peg in the wrong spot?
Could be. You might be able to just rotate the peg down a little bit to give you more clearance.
Thanks man! Keep up the videos!
Don’t mind the long explains. Keep it going bro. One question. Do most bikes have the headlight on all the time or do people have switches other than the hand control?
Sevenity Guitars the majority of bikes have a running light, meaning the tail and front light are always on at a very low setting. Some older bikes don’t have this but the majority of newer bikes do
Zakary Goodmanson ok, cool I wasn’t to familiar with 70s bikes because I had to get aftermarket hand controls. It is good to know👍🏼
This bike has an on/off switch on the right control and a hi/low switch on the left.
Classic Octane is the switch a three position switch ?
Would love to know what exhaust that is. Looks and sounds awesome.
Delkevic 4-1 with a Cone Engineering shorty muffler
Canada??
9.39 is that the house where sheldon cooper used to live?
did you rejet the carbs when you added the exhaust
Yep, 110s
Anyone know where you can purchase those dampening valves? I have the same style of carb sync gauge, just didnt come with the dampening valves.... Would love to pick them up, if possible.
amzn.to/2uR2yXF I bet those would work.
For us new viewers that have stumbled upon the video and channel for the first time, might be nice to have in the description what this bike is exactly and a bit of the back story. Just a suggestion. Great video, that 4 into 1 sounds sick.
wut u gonna do with the gto/holden? what about another bobber?
The engine (LS/T56) will be going into my Camaro.
My cb 3k rpm in third gear it goes about 30mph or 40mph at 4k rpm
I just bought a 1976 Honda CB500T yesterday and my neutral light stays on as well. Could you send me the link or tell me where you bought the new diode? Videos are awesome and are going to come in handy when I start making mods to the bike. Thanks!
I would check your neutral switch first. It lost likely just needs to be adjusted. I just used a diode I had from another bike.
I would no let this lad look after my gold fish never mind my motorcycle
Is that the original fork ? and wheel size?
Yep
Hi :3
Quick question to Taylor and the viewers: My CB350 plugs always come out black with deposits, wipes off. Based on spark plug charts, its running too rich. So i adjusted the needle to run lean, but it made no difference. Is my carb not working properly? some days the bike would not start and if i remove the spark plug, its coated with fuel. any advise is greatly appreciated.
Sounds like the diaphragm is split and requires replacement.
I would pull the carbs off and check them out. Could be a few things. Hopefully, it's something simple like oversized jets or even better maybe a jet just fell out.
It would be cool if you did some motovlogs, nobody Motovlogs on a cafe
Just got my mic and camera setup on my helmet so I will definitely be doing some soon.
Check out Goldguy
Camera angle and audio should be considered in the next video. Just constructive criticism, wider angle would be better for riding videos so we (as the viewer) can see the street also, and I know you hadn't anticipated the wiring section of the video, but I want to say I could hear your fan oscillating through the mic? Are you currently using a microphone cover/filter? Like I said, just an observation to help the video quality, enjoy the content you've been putting out.
Ahhrrgh electrics , my Achilles heel..
Do a SOHC CB750!
Bars aww clamps look bent
Where’s your battery??
In an electronics box under the seat.
I love your vids, but change the clickbait thumbnail
Yikes, ride with some gloves on. I was wincing watching this.
