RESPECT!! Love that all of the pieces were made by Anders in his own workshop. The crazy carbon fibre process for the tank, home made exhaust, and sewing the seat on his wife's machine. Great story and fantastic bike for his daughter. One of my favourite videos on this channel so far.
That is, as most people have said the nicest looking CX500 I have ever seen and that exhaust note I could listen to all day! What a gorgeous machine! Thanks Anders for taking the time to show it to us!
A CX500 wouldn't have been my starting point for a custom job but that just points up my lack of imagination. A great looking bike making a great sound. Truly a beautiful job all round but that tank is stunning!
Anders, Thank you, it's a marvellous piece of machinery, the pure clean Scandinavian design of a Japanese motorbike, like a Japanese Zen buddhist garden, unseen before. The red tank and tail versus the black engine and silver spoked wheel. My respect for your handicraft skills. It shows you love for your daughter.
I'm not sure I can add anything that hasnt been said already; but I couldnt pass by without saying congratulations Anders on a beautiful build. I'd love to be in your league regarding building your own parts. Trust me - that seat is great looking;so dont beat yourself up about that. I am about to drag out and old sewing machine and have a go myself. If its just a shadow of what you've achieved I will still be happy. Those laced wheels are spot on too. Well done indeed.
Wonder who dislikes a video like this and why? This guy is awesome, he built everything by hand, and everything looks spot-on! Surely someone would make a different decision to do thing some other way, but that does not diminish Andreas' skill and commitment, not one bit 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Absolutely STUNNING, a thing of beauty. I appreciated the engineering behind the CX, but not the end design of the bike. You nailed it, I love and admire every thing you did to this little jewel, WELL DONE !!!
Wow that is majestic. Anyone who loves twin-leading-shoe (I have since my YDS7) will think they have gone to heaven. I keep looking at the rest of the bike but my eyes always return to that front wheel.
I hope you build some more, there is a market out there for this bike. Very neat 1 of a kind. Shafted custom looks incredibly good. CX engines are a nice looking motor with twisted cylinders to push the carbies into the centre of the bike. Push rods keep the heads lower making for a tighter look. No overhead cams and camchains to worry about, same about the shft drive - quieter. Anyone considering a custom road bike should look at this one to set the benchmark. Honda did very well indeed to employ Shoichiro Irimajiri,
Being an old school Luddite and Moto Guzzi Freak, i have never understood the love given to the water cooled Plastic Maggot as it used to be called, Honda CX500. However, this is one of those very very rare builds that is right up there. This builder has huge talent and an eye for a quality top class custom motorcycle. Kudos.
Wow that is so far above what is normally expected in a shed built bike well done sir such a high level of skill and knowledge is rare nowadays and the end result is truly a thing of beauty.
Excellent one.. Especially the drum brakes.. They were the first things I noticed, and the last thing I remember. The bikes clean, like those chassis lines 👏👏
Wow! Anders you should be so proud of this fine machine you built. I wish my old 1978 Honda CX 500 could have looked this good. Sending much respect from the United States - Black Bike Mike :)
Absolutely amazing bike, the most gorgeous bike I have seen, you are so talented, and your daughter so lucky to have a dad who can build such a brilliant bike for her!
Lovely drum brakes Anders, breathtaking paint work on motor and brushed cylinder head ribs, lavish and sumptuous,stylish rpm counter , sub-frame...OMG, off the charts your craftsmanship level boy.
Absolutely stunning, it never fails to amaze me how with some imagination and skill those old cx 500s can be turned into utterly beautiful machines, considering what an ugly slug the standard bike was!! Amazing, gorgeous motorcyle!
This is a real custom like my bike me and Dad are building I love to see bikes people actual built I'm not a fan of someone buying a custom and talking like they made it so I'm glad this exists
I think Honda should give him lead on a modern day CX remake. Wow.
RESPECT!! Love that all of the pieces were made by Anders in his own workshop. The crazy carbon fibre process for the tank, home made exhaust, and sewing the seat on his wife's machine. Great story and fantastic bike for his daughter. One of my favourite videos on this channel so far.
@Viktor Sligo ehhh….I Think @gym shoe means the girl in the end of the film...Maria....Anders daughter….quite obvious don't You Think?
I'm so glad that enthusiasts like him exist, i could have never in a million years imagined a bike like this by looking at the original.
Great Dad! LUCKY DAUGHTER!!
A really beautiful clean build driven by and exuding love from a father to his little girl.
Sir, you are a master craftsman! What a beautiful build.
You set the STANDARD hermano, best in show 4 sure...impressed and humbled. Thank you for sharing!
This is the most beautiful cx I've seen and they just happen to be my favourite motor 🙌 wow!
I love these bikes. I have one im slowly working on and it will never be this nice.
Have you seen the x-axis?? Stunning bike
The best CX500 build I've ever seen on TH-cam, truly beautiful.
That is, as most people have said the nicest looking CX500 I have ever seen and that exhaust note I could listen to all day! What a gorgeous machine!
Thanks Anders for taking the time to show it to us!
Lucky young lady. Now, THAT is a doting dad. Well done, Anders. Beautiful bike.
piece of art. This man is a first class technician
A CX500 wouldn't have been my starting point for a custom job but that just points up my lack of imagination. A great looking bike making a great sound. Truly a beautiful job all round but that tank is stunning!
Phenomenal job, looks like a show bike and too nice to ride. Hope your daughter appreciates the effort you put into it.
A magnificent build, Anders, though it's difficult to find a superlative that's sufficiently meaningful. A bike crafted with love. Well done, sir!
One of the best looking bikes I have ever seen - WOW !!!
Wow! That is a beautiful bike built by a very talented artist.
This is one of the best cx transformations I’ve seen built by someone who actually knows what he’s doing!
Wow. What a beautiful bike. All hand made too!! 👏👍
Anders, Thank you, it's a marvellous piece of machinery, the pure clean Scandinavian design of a Japanese motorbike, like a Japanese Zen buddhist garden, unseen before. The red tank and tail versus the black engine and silver spoked wheel. My respect for your handicraft skills. It shows you love for your daughter.
Stunning motorcycle, amazing craftsmanship, unfortunately no many of the self named “builders” aren’t even closer to this quality level
Beautiful design and exceptional craftsmanship. Ovation.
I'm not sure I can add anything that hasnt been said already; but I couldnt pass by without saying congratulations Anders on a beautiful build.

What a nice thought for your daughter, to ride on a bike that her father built.
Take a fugley CX and turn out this beauty..........class craftsmanship........sounds so good
Wonder who dislikes a video like this and why? This guy is awesome, he built everything by hand, and everything looks spot-on! Surely someone would make a different decision to do thing some other way, but that does not diminish Andreas' skill and commitment, not one bit 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Beautiful custom CX500!
Despatched for years on these. They just keep going. Great bike.
I love the checkers! Excellent work!

Awesome job Anders. Respect 🤙
This bike sounds like heaven. Thank you
favorite build on the whole channel
will pxzza it’s a beauty isn’t it. Not sure who I like more... Anders’ and his passion or the bike itself!
I like that you added the process pictures
That is the best looking cx I have ever seen!
There's a lot of love and passion in that build. Very unique. Looks way better than anything from the factory.
Thats perfection, clean, handmade & labor of love for his daughter. What an amazing amazing build sir.
Absolutely STUNNING, a thing of beauty. I appreciated the engineering behind the CX, but not the end design of the bike. You nailed it, I love and admire every thing you did to this little jewel, WELL DONE !!!
What a gorgeous machine. Well done sir!
This a class build, love the clean lines and that petrol tank is a work of art in itself.the best thing is the sound from the pipes, sounds great.
Wow that is majestic.
Anyone who loves twin-leading-shoe (I have since my YDS7)
will think they have gone to heaven.
I keep looking at the rest of the bike but my eyes always return
to that front wheel.
Love the craft and intent of this build
Now that dedication and attention to detail. Respect ✊
Amazing bike, fantastic work and all done by the owner...wow, love it
One of the best Shed builds so far!!!!!!
I can't stop looking at those beautifully-laced spoked wheels...
Wow.. you are very meticulous and very talented! Nice work!

Awesome looking bike; everything about the design and level of craftsmanship is amazing. A work of art!

The chef from Sesame Street; this is the voice ,n
Lucky Lefty He sounded like he’s from Trinidad
Wow that is so far above what is normally expected in a shed built bike well done sir such a high level of skill and knowledge is rare nowadays and the end result is truly a thing of beauty.
Even the seat made in house! Huge respect for the builder, that's the way it must be made!
Excellent one..
Especially the drum brakes..
They were the first things I noticed, and the last thing I remember.
The bikes clean, like those chassis lines 👏👏
What a craftsman, love the fact that he thinks the seat isn't professional, and yet it's still beautifully made. That's one gorgeous bike.
Wow! Anders you should be so proud of this fine machine you built. I wish my old 1978 Honda CX 500 could have looked this good. Sending much respect from the United States - Black Bike Mike :)

Beautiful bike and it sounds great too. Amazing job, hope she enjoys it

Beautiful piece of functional art. Perfect.

Simply... OUTSTANDING...!!!
