This bike turned out very pretty! Nice work!
Can't tell you how excited I am every time you post a new video! Great work man
Thank you! More videos to come.
Emblems turned out amazing!
Looks amazing man, great job and nice taste. I'd ride that bike everyday if it was in my garage.
Turned out nice! I had the same problem with my choke and those type of pods. That's on my long list of things that need fixed 😐
She's beautiful, I'm going to cry.
Great job bruh. Thanks for taking the time to film this to share with the rest of us. Hope you start making some to sell on.
Thanks for watching!
As always, top quality work. 👍🏻
Congrats! I just got my 78 cb550f K4 unseized today! 4 1/2 day soak/drip in ATF/Acetone - 50/50 mix. Cautiously excited. Next up, carbs and test start.
Awesome!
Nice clean look. Awesome.
Remember when you hit 1000 subs and now you're nearly quadruple that?? Handsome pipe setup, keep up the good work!
Crazy how fast the channel is growing. Thanks for sticking around from the beginning.
Looking real nice man, i''ve got the same theme going on with mine :D
thanks for the detailed video, I've been wondering whether this shorty exhaust could go on my inline four safely, and now I see
Hey man,
I discovered you channel by "accident" while searching for garage builds, and i got to say you do a good job! I subscribed and already watched all the vid's. You are growing, but dont let the numbers get over quality, which is something you have. If i may ask, you done 3 cb's and you have a triumph, if the opportunity comes, please do a bobber! Would love to see your vision on it!
Got a fan from portugal! Keep the good work and quality!
Awesome, i'm glad you found my channel and are enjoying the videos. The Triumph is going to be built into a hardtail bobber so in the next few weeks you will get your wish. Thanks for watching!
I used POR-15 to seal the inside of my tank and I haven't had any problems so far. Not sure if you've made a decision on what you'll use but I was/am very happy with how it worked for me.
That's what I ordered so i'm glad it works well. That should be one of the last steps to getting this one done and on the road.
Looking good!
Nice job i am building a CB750 DOHC your video s are really helpful
Awesome, good luck with your project.
Nice video, thanks for sharing!
I have a CB125 k5 gas tank and emblems, but missing the clips for emblems!
Please let me know what you are using in order to get the emblems to stay on the gas tank!
Cheers
So, I"ve got a few things to accomplish with my 79 CB750. Never did this type of work and I'm not sure where to begin. I'll keep this direct and appreciate your direction/ advisement....
I want to remove and repaint the emblems on the tanks.
I want to also replace the seat to a bench/ brat style flat seat.
I will also be looking to remove and clean out the triangle, maybe...I've seen them left in tact, and it doesn't kill me, but I think it's a good design concept.
The License plate and rear brake light need to be addressed for sure, but I think that will be addressed when the seat is replaced with the loop. I'm in Orlando, no welding experience either.
nice and clean great job man
Thanks!
Looks great!!
just an idea you might want to pick up a v band connector. you can take them on and off as many times as you would like and repeat with no problems. the way that you have it set up is great, the only thing I see with it as the bolts might become loose because of the fact there's no hanger holding the weight of the muffler with a slip joint. and also it might leak a little no big deal. awesome build and looking good.
Thanks for the feedback. A V-band would be a solid option.
What length rear shocks do you typically go with on your CB550 builds?
I'll be running a very similar seat curve on mine and want to make sure I have enough clearance. (And I'm 5' 7" so don't want to add any unnecessary riding height!)
Your build videos are a great resource to me, thank you. 🙇♂️
Very nice
Great video but you need to post how you painted the emblems? I'm confused but I love your results.
Looks awesome man. IMHO You should wrap the pipes.
I might still do that. I I think it would look pretty good with the rest of the bike.
@classicoctane What type of model paint did you use for the emblems?
Looking good. Wish we could get that Aircraft Remover in the UK. The stuff we get over here is useless.
It works really well. Thanks for watching!
Hi!
Can you make a full episode of how to read the wiring diagram and also showing how you do with al the wires to get it nice and clean? Really like you vids bro!
Thanks! I will add it to my list of how-to videos I want to make. Anything else you would like to see?
hey man, congratulation for project, awesome and very beautiful!
What gas tank you used for project?
thank you...
This is the stock CB550 tank stripped down to bare metal, brushed then clear coated over.
lookin good :)
Hey, i just found your awesome channel, and im doing a very similar build. I'm having trouble finding the fuel tank emblems from the internet. Do you have any clues on finding a website that would sell emblems for a 1978 CB500?
All the places i have checked are sold out.
4into1.com/search.php?search_query=emblem&Search= Check this site out. Hopefully one of those will work for you.
Can you make a video on rebuilding forks or replacing fork seals or something along those lines?
Sure thing. Thanks for the suggestion.
Can you explain your process on getting clear coat on bare metal tank? im having a hard time getting it to adhere.
I used my Contour SCT from Eastwood to strip the paint but you could use a chemical stripper and elbow geese to get the same result. You really just need a semi rough surface for the clear to stick. If your tank is too smooth the clear wont adhere well.
hey ! i enjoyed all your videos - just wanna say great work!
is the muffler loud or not ?
im searching for a muffler that is not tooooo loud but looking good :D
how is the cb 550 running with this muffler ?
regards from germany!
No I think the muffler has a really good sound without being too loud. It runs great with the pod filters and muffler with 110 main jets.
Great build! I watched allot of your videos on this bike, to get some inspiration for my Honda CB750C 1981. The seat is really neat aswell, something like what i'm looking for. Where did you buy it?
It's from Tuffside.com it's one of their universal flat seats.
Thanks for the rapid answer👍🏻
Looks rad, are you going to put a muffler support mount on it?
I'm going to see how it goes. It's very solid now because how how light this muffle is. If it moves too much I will fab up a bracket for support.
Where did u get that exhaust at?
Hi Buddy...great bike....How long is the seat that the bike has....I bought one 21" and is to short...Please HELPPPPPPP
Thanks
It's 24" long and 9-1/8" wide. Hope that helps.
What unit are you using to replace fuse box, starter solenoid, rectifier, etc.? MotoGadget m-unit?
I used stock components on this bike but I have heard good things about the MotoGadget
What seat is that? Love the progress on this bike.
Tuffside flat seat. Honda style. www.tuffside.com/2-Tone-Universal-Brat-Seats-p/flat_solid.htm
What size is the head light?
Hey question for you, have you any experience with getting a bonded title for a bike? how challenging was it?
I haven't yet because I flip my bikes and bikes with bonded titles tend to sell for less. I have heard that it's not hard just time consuming. If I ever go through the process I will be sure to document the whole thing and share it all here on my channel.
Cool thanks! I'm thinking of taking on a project bike for myself, and was just curious on the process.
What kind of muffler you used? This sounds awesome
Dime city universal shortly 12" www.dimecitycycles.com/stainless-steel-shorty-universal-cone-muffler-fitting-1-3-8-inch-exhausts.html
