So glad you did this video. That’s what’s so helpful for us that are new to restoration or even just bike maintenance in general. Teach me like you’d teach a toddler.
Thanks for all you do.
Thank you! I've always just aimed to help remove some of the barriers to motorcycling related to maintenance costs. I can't help new riders learn to ride, but I figured I might help them lower their cost of ownership a little.
The aluminium foil on chrome trick actually works without any other additive.
It's because the aluminium is harder than the iron oxide (rust) but softer than the chrome finish.
So it scrapes off the rust but does not damage the chrome.
Thanks for watching! There is also a chemical reaction happening in addition to "scraping." Iron oxide -> aluminum oxide.
Thanks for all the helpful videos I have a 81 cx500 been working on it off and on since September 2020 got it almost back together got it to run been fun to work on 👍😃
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy your ride as much as you have the project.
Remember forcing a part on to my bike while it was on its stand and didn’t pay attention to the amount of force I was creating...over it went.
Hey buddy, good video!
Yes! You saw that. I was pushing the envelope a little there wasn't I? 😄
I was getting nervous too! Haha
Looks better
Stainless steel Scrub buds are good too
Good Job!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Best rust on chrome cleaner I know is Easy-Off oven cleaner and 0000 steel wool. It's like magic. WEAR GLOVES the Easy-Off will eat your skin.
I don’t have the hardware to mount my exhaust? Do you know which size bolts and nuts I need? Thanks
question... i put coolent in my cx and im getting some weeping aroung where the new water pump gasket is will that stop once i get the bike fired up and the gasket swells a bit?
That "gasket" (more of an o-ring of sorts) gets out of its channel easily during installation. My first guess is it slipped out of place and got pinched.
Mr Monk,
Your very inspiring I have to say and very quick to respond, this I have to ask what is your favorite Bike? Just curious
Thank you! I'm not sure I have a favorite. Each is so different. It is much like asking which of my record albums is my favorite. I really can't pick one. I love them all for different reasons. Wishy-washy answer I know, sorry. 🙂
Grease is a good tip. I use it often to fix parts
I guess I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream new series online?
@Will Otto I watch on FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)
@Alejandro Xzavier definitely, I've been watching on FlixZone for years myself :D
@Alejandro Xzavier thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it !
@Will Otto Happy to help :)
Thanks for the how to, but I cringed at the gasket mangling.
Thanks for watching.
I'm managing it too. The first gaskets I wrecked. But it is difficult. 2nd time is faster😊
I have a 78’ CX 500 any good exhaust brands you have found?
I'm sorry. Mine was in such good condition, I haven't looked. Thank you for watching.
Horrible job. Doing it right now.
Manifold gasket front: cut it to 24-22mm and put a bit of a chamfer on it. Drive it in 27mm , the from pipes fit a Dream. Of course before hand clean out the pipe with a drill grinding stone. Use exhaust fitting past, not repair paste.
Thanks for watching and sharing your insights.
