    That 500 is beautiful. I love the Honda "Norton" style decal!

    @tomquinn607 Před 3 lety +34

    750 gets the thumbs up from me. Like the bikes color and the classic side covers. Baritone sounds rocks and Ilke the unpainted engine. Nice work!

  • @mariodesmo
    @mariodesmo Před 3 lety +2

    I really like that 750. Brings back memories of the very first CB750 I rode that belonged to my friend's older brother. He was away in college so we disconnected the speedo and took it for a ride!

      I had a friend that took his buddies Harley for a spin without asking and wrecked it into a curb right in front of this house I was at trying to show off. He didn’t know how to work the clutch good! But the owner came to pick it up after and kicked it over in front of all of us while he was loading it up. 😂 his girl had to talk him out of leaving it in the damn road. Man it was a very uncomfortable situation for all of us! Lol poor guy was still paying on the damn thing and his friend ruined it like a dumbo! I remember the phone call when he was telling the guy. Man, that sucked!

  • @larryfromwisconsin9970

    Love your CB 500/550 builds. I bought a new CB 550 off the showroom floor in 1975. Wish I had another.

  • @notyourbrotherinlaw2092

  • @1truerodney
    @1truerodney Před 3 lety +2

    Beautiful work as always. The 500 with the Norton looking decals is most attractive to me personally. I think if it were mine I would prefer the fender painted to match the tank and the headlight dropped down so that the top of the housing lined up with the top of the tank.

    I'm not usually a fan of Cafe style bikes but I must admit that these are pretty sweet. You do good work. I love the sound of the 750. I still love the looks of the old school early and mid 70s CBs.

    I like the 750 personally. The colour is great. It reminds me of the early Goldwing I had in candy apple turquoise.
    Looking forward to the new developments in 2021..... All the best for the new year.

    You do really nice work ! I’m interested in obtaining a bike like the one you did a couple days ago ( CB550 with the bobbed fenders and the pre 76’ fuel tank in the ford blue jean blue ) I fell in love with that bike ! Just love these old school classic Honda’s ...the scrambler look

    Hey Taylor. Love the builds, since forever ;)
    But, if I had something to say, In my opinion, i believe the headlights are too high, id put them not higher than the gas tank
    Lots of great wishes for you and the family, happy happy new year to come

    Happy New Year! Regarding the sound, I prefer de CB500, but I love de CB750. I used to own a CB750 K1, that I purchase new, when I was racing for Honda here in Colombia, we're talking many years ago, racing with the CB125 Super Sport and CB175. Thanks for your videos. Be safe and enjoy life. By the way, I also had a Motorcycle Shop.

  • @oilinmyblood3906
    @oilinmyblood3906 Před 3 lety +1

    The 750 is my preference all day long, but the only thing I would change on that bike is the headlight mounting ears need to be shorter and the headlight needs to be tucked in and mounted lower, but everything else looks great! And the sound that 750 makes versus the 500 is hands-down way more throaty and deeper sounding, the CB750 is in my blood! I love that bike! I own three of them now!

    @davidklementis5913 Před 3 lety

    Both bikes are very well done and awesome. I prefer the scrambler style over the Cafe so would go with the 750, but the 500 almost has me on sound alone. Can't really go wrong with a Honda of that time frame.

  • @jacob14163
    @jacob14163 Před 11 měsíci

    I wanted a 550, mainly cause of this channel. But ended up with a 750 3 years ago. Now after building mine, and ride I prefer the cb750. I've seen external oil reservoirs like cognito moto's that change its location so you don't need side cover.
    I think I prefer side cover. But power from 750 makes it better I think

    Nice job on both for me the 750 like tom below I like the side panels , the tires on it would be a concern for me but it's nice all the same . The 550 is good to , but the big open void where the panels would be kinda puts me off a bit the pipe is awesome . : ) Cheers

  • @ActivityPhoto

  • @MicJaguar
    @MicJaguar Před 3 lety

    I recently sold my cb550F after rebuilding it. Nothing in the way of quality as you but made a little profit. I rebuilt the forks. Had to buy some used ones that the chrome tube was in better shape then redo what i had. Rust made the seal leak. I miss it now. I want a 750 and wish i could get one you have built. I currently still have and ride my first bike which is a 2002 Shadow Spirit VT750 but I would trade it for o e of your cafe style builds. Im down in San Antonio and would love to just hang out and work on bikes all day. Instead I fix computers and ride every chance I get. I looked for forks for a 550F and i think i did find some new aftermarkets for sale but the price was astronomical and outside the US so i didn't trust it. If i find them again ill see about posting it.
