Been watching from the start of the build and I’m loving the videos! All the best from Scotland.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

I really appreciate you watching!

[@mikeohonda486]

Love that temp switch idea. Very neat and functional.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

It was a real challenge to find a decent combo but im confident this will work well

[@mohawkdriver4155]

I totally enjoy watching these videos, and learn a tip or trick with each and every one.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Another great video. What did you do with the coolant expansion bottle?

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Ha! I actually just started making one today lol.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Just to follow up Kevin, check today's video!

[@bobdoidge9593]

Love your videos. Would like to know what size rims and tyres did you go with? I am buying billet hubs from Cognito but having the wheels laced here in Australia. I am looking at 17 120 on the front and 17 140 on the rear but am unsure what rim width to go for. Cheers

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Thanks Bob! The video I linked has all of that information in the description for reference. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnvahZZso8p2Zqc

[@cainbeeping8480]

Well let’s ride

[@mohammedmidlaj4623]

Nice👍👍

[@owen75]

Did you end up cutting the camshaft?

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

No because this is a 650 engine which has a factory electronic fan so it uses a different cam and tach drive.

[@owen75]

@@BrickHouseBuilds gotcha, thanks!

[@jones4810]

Would you have the Samco part numbers as cx500 not listed on there drop down scroll . Cheers

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

The links take you to the exact item on dime city cycles.

[@sammcdade5008]

When you get to the Exhaust system are you going to include the H box or do a 2-1 or 2 straight pipes ?

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Oh the exhaust has already been built! I just need to final weld it. The link is to ep19 which is pt2 of fabricating the system. That video links part 1. 2 into 1. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn-ZnXWsea58ask

@@BrickHouseBuilds Ahh ok sorry must of missed that epp. Ive put a set of Murrys on my old CX500 and im going for straight pipes with some Harley Sportster muffs.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

@@sammcdade5008 you're good man, there are a lot of videos in the series so its easy to miss

[@sammcdade5008]

@Brick House Builds I am looking forward to seeing how you do the electrics that is one thing my bike could use a refresh on so your videos are very helpful for me even if your working on a gl500 it’s close enough. Great work so far I am loving the series keep it up.

[@miguelatambucho748]

Can you share where did you rebuild the radiator please? Thanks

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

I had the radiator rebuilt at a facility here in Missouri. Are you more local?

[@miguelatambucho748]

@@BrickHouseBuilds No man. Clearwater Beach Florida. But do you think I can ship it and pay in advance all the costs. Other question, do you have any kind of service of consultation? I love this GL and I am planning to fix a few things.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

@@miguelatambucho748 Well you could just have a local radiator shop do a rebuild on yours. The remove the sides and clean/repair the core before re-soldering it all back together. I didn't do anything to the radiator beyond painting it.

[@danielezignani8474]

can i use a m.unit blue to mellow the starting spike of the fan? or do i need a becky unit even if I already have a m.unit blue?

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Actually I do not know on that one as I have never used an M-Unit. I know they offer an auxiliary port output but I don't feel it would be as controllable as this system since I can have a dedicated fan switch tell the Becky system when to turn the fan on and off as well as dial the overall speed to my liking.
