Thanks for checking out the video and I hope you enjoy! I love how this bike turned out with the challenges of the given budget, limitations of the stock bike, and the amount of fabrication I felt was necessary to make it functional. I know the bike may look subtle at first glance but you definitely get to see how much work went into it with this video. Again for those who want commentary or more info on the bike, I show that it the full videos as I build it. Simply hit the playlist to find all you are looking for.

I will save WEEKS of hassle, researching and who knows how long on "trial and error"!!..The reliability and expense of the CX, plus the fact that I have 2 already (traded for a pillar drill) makes this the best gift I have gotten in a very long time!!..Love your channel!!..Thank You!!!..👍👍👍🗽🇺🇸

@@BrickHouseBuilds too bad there is no oil supply to the camshaft lobes ! i watch you grind down the cam lobes to hide the damage ..i am a certified Honda CX500 factory trained service tech and found the problem all cx500s have of no oil supply directly to the cam lobes and so every one of them will fail ..in 1982 i was to rebuild a CX500 per work order . it was the first one to rebuild in our shop since 1975 when they came out ..and everyone of them had rattling valve train after the first 1000 mile check up that could not be adjusted out of it ..the valve clearance was 0.003" exhaust and 0.002 intake and still with this hammering sound inside ..and when i opened one up for the first time it was obvious what the problem was as this had about 37,000 miles on it and the cam lobes were almost gone with gray metal dust all around the inside of the cases cooked on hard and dry of any oil ...Harold Brown was our mid west american honda service rep who just so happened to be in the shop that day when i opened the CX500 cases ..so i said , hey brownie we called him , come take a look as this .. brownie had never said a negative word to me in the 8 years working with him ..and that he came unglued on me telling me to shut up about it that why we dont make them anymore i said what about all the people buying them and putting major bucks building cafe racers out of them ..and harld brown said that is their tough luck

I can feel a definite sway towards this type of machine. Anyone who's been on a dirt road on a touring bike can understand why. I would love to be able to hit the trail. Without having to trailer a vehicle to and from the trail head. You are an incredible mechanic. I hope things are working out for you, you certainly deserve it. I'm always impressed with the quality of work coming out of a small shop. It proves , it ain't the shop it's who's in it . I never realized how much stamped metal Honda uses in their production of their motorcycles. I've been hopelessly addicted to two wheels since I was a little boy. Everything about them brings me joy and keeps me young. Stick with it kid! There are great things in your future. I've watched a ton of resto rebuild videos and you are the best by far. Camera clarity and focus and position . Music choice narration it's all broadcast quality. I think the adventure bike is about to explode like Harleys did back in the early 2000s. I hope you can benefit from it. So quit reading comments and get to work on that next project,I'll be watching! Thanks.

What an amazing build. I was wondering why it was you converted the rear wheel from a 16" to the 17"? Ground clearance? Tire availability? That was a clever idea and well done. I do not have the skills of tools or strength to pull off a transformation such as this, but boy I do like that motorcycle now as a "scrambler!"

Keeping the craftsman alive and well. Type a guy the neighborhood kids come ask "hey sir can you fix this for us?" And he walks into the shop staring at the part in his hands the whole time. ❤ "I think we can figure this out. Come have a seat." And the happy kid left having learned something about life and mechanics possibly even starting them on their passion for doing the same one day. Our neighborhood machinist and engineers name was Mr. Keith. He kept a beautiful sailboat at our dock.. thanks for this video...really, thank you.

I click onto this because a ‘79 Honda CX 500 custom was my first very first mode of transportation when I turned 16 in 1986. For four years it was my ride until I totaled it in an accident. I loved that bike, and I’ve always wanted to get another and restore it. It would basically be an every now and then ride, bit i I want one just the same. It was, and they are fantastic bikes, being shaft driven for that year of bike was a bit ahead of it’s time. It was also liquid cooled, which was basically unheard of then, and made it essential for those hot California summers splitting lanes on the freeways. 😏 ahh the good ol days. 😎 Oh yeah, great bike build man. 👍🏻
