Honda CX500 Cafe Racer Build Time Lapse

[@GrahamScott155]

This video will turn people into bike builders. Excellent job. Thanks for sharing the story.

[@forthebold]

I hope it'll inspire a few people

[@billy13801]

@@forthebold Well i feel inspired. I have the tools and the space now i just need a bike!

[@rronaldreagan]

For The Bold - dreegez is it legal to ride it in your country? Unfortunately in most of europe you need to leave vehicles as they came from the factory or face huge fines

[@forthebold]

Yeah completely legal in the UK

[@jiecao9323]

I'm inspired by this, but my father never ever allow me to ride motorcycle (I asked when I was 10 years old, now I'm 23 and he still never let me to ride motorcycle.)

[@adirondackcarfoundry368]

KZbin needs a "love" button.

[@forthebold]

I wish it did. Spread the word is love enough.

[@a1eex_88]

That is one of the most beautiful bikes I've ever seen.

[@forthebold]

Thanks, glad you think so

[@Utii89]

Truly inspiring! At first glance one might think building a bike is no big deal, but after watching a few timelapses one can truly understand how much work goes into beautiful builds like this! Keep it up!

[@forthebold]

Thanks. Yeah a lot of work especially on fabricating the rear end.

[@tommasobiondi8273]

Absolutely one of the best Cafè Racer I've ever seen, no diggity!

[@forthebold]

That's very kind of you

[@BlackJackKO551]

Watched this whole series, I'm working on an 82 Honda sabre and you have given me alot of helpful tips and pointers. Keep doing what you do look forward to more videos

[@forthebold]

Amazing, 2019 I think will be packed. Happy building

[@andriyamj4503]

The best cafe racer build I've ever seen so far. Thanks for sharing the video & good job.

[@forthebold]

Thank you, means a lot, please share around too ;)

[@DiogoAmancio]

I’ve been watching numerous projects online, this one still by far my favorite. Everything makes sense, the proportions are perfect and the color scheme, even using primary colors, doesn’t look obvious and match perfectly together at same time. Also the red and white pays tribute for a Japanese brand. Respect from Brazil.

[@forthebold]

Thank you. Glad you like it. A pity I don’t get much time to ride it

[@DiogoAmancio]

For The Bold thanks for the answer. A question, if you don’t mind: do you think this project would match a smaller bike? Like a cb350?

[@UrbanoModa]

Can't believe this got so many dislikes, perfect build and transformation and presentation right down to the last note and song.

[@forthebold]

Thank you all averages out against the number of likes 👍🏻

[@derekv275]

Just got myself a 1981 suzuki gs1100 first bike. I'm a bit of a gearhead but know nothing about bikes. This video just made me want to do a cafe project. Amazing video

[@forthebold]

Awesome. It’s what this channel is all about.

[@maxshih1067]

Biker from Taiwan, Asia, love your work sir!!!!

[@tlp4311]

You are a handy-skilled-man in all area: Mechanical, electrical, design, system, tools usage ... I think you have a team to support , for a person that is so well around, I could imagine you can build anything. Respect!

[@forthebold]

Thanks. But no team. Just me by myself.

[@tlp4311]

Are these project bike after you completed for sale ? Lol , i wish i can stop by and buy one. Rebuild one of this bike would Take me 1-2 yrs and probably not as nice

[@cyrilleloreau1603]

Truly an amazing talent that you have developed. Don't know what's more daunting the taking apart of the bike or the electrical??

[@jamessmith4400]

Having owned both a gs550e & a cx500, I now regret selling them, especially the Honda. I could never do what you’ve done, totally lacking the necessary skills, but greatly admire your work. Thanks for reminding me just how mechanically inadequate I am👍

[@forthebold]

Never say never. No skill in one area with a bit of practice can easily progress to knowing what to do

[@zaroulizham]

No words for you bro, from building to painting then the electronics. Respect !

[@sonny8085]

I've watched a number of these CX500 resto-mod videos now and I have to say that yours is now my favourite. Great colour scheme!

[@forthebold]

Thank you so much, appreciate it.

[@forrestabbott2919]

It's that wiring part that gets me everytime.

[@forthebold]

And me

[@Kefuddle]

Back in the 80s when I was a courier in London, CX500s were the workhorses. Ugly but dependable. Nobody rode those for fun, the butt of many jokes, but never failed. CB250/400Ns, CB250s, XS250s and CX650s were also the intrepid dispatch riders trusted steeds. Most kept their RD500s, RG500s, CB1100s, GPZ750/1100s, Z1100R Eddie Lawsons and Bimotas for the weekends. Them were the days. Never thought I would ever see a CX cafe racer!! Amazing!!

[@forthebold]

The poor plastic maggot, I do think the engine is beautiful. Thanks for watching

[@OldManTony]

Absolutely brilliant video Anthony, I’d forgotten how much work went into this build. You know what my favourite bit is, it’s the way you made the radiator disappear with your clever paint scheme choice!

[@forthebold]

Thanks, I forgot most of it also, it's all the tiny bits that all add up.

[@37Gibson]

I have loved watching this bike come together over the last year. The final product is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this inspirational journey.

[@forthebold]

Thanks for coming along on the journey.

[@MrJpb2000]

Honda CX500’s look so good as Cafe Racers...great job on this 1. 👊😎👍

[@katzblag]

No, Moto Guzzi's look amazing as cafe racers... this is just a huge waste of time and talent.

[@mattcero1]

DUDE! You guys with these time lapse Michael Angelo like creations are killing me! I can't piece mine back together and my CX has sat in my garage in powder coated pieces for over 3 years now. Very nice video and outstanding bike!

[@KrabbyOne1]

I had goosebumps in the end of the video. You have built something beautiful, great job sir, now I want to build something too :)

[@forthebold]

Thanks

[@peterream6508]

Stumbled across your channel a few days ago. Absolutely love the work you do! I"m a Texan but I'd fly to Britain to check out your work. Just amazing. Watching these videos inspires me to find an inexpensive bike the do this myself. I wish I could hit like several times. Please pardon my gushing a bit, I just wanted to express how awesome it is when you take an unloved bike and give it new life and turn heads with the work you do. Keep it up. I'll keep clicking like from across the pond.

[@forthebold]

Thanks so much for the kind words and glad you found the channel. It’s all about inspiring others to build. Best of luck for when you start your own project.

[@rahulbarca4112]

One of the most exciting Cafe racer build up video on KZbin. Cheers mate.

[@forthebold]

Amazing. Happy to hear you think so.

[@bawihapachuau22]

I have followed this build from the start, and I have to congratulate you on building an awesome bike... This is seriously one of my favorite and easily one of the most beautiful bikes I have ever seen, ever, be it stock or custom.. 👍👍

[@forthebold]

Thanks, I've always liked the CX engine.

[@RickyRicardo03]

That’s an awesome build, really satisfying to see the process man.

[@forthebold]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@paulgeiler7470]

Ich bin wegen diesem Projekt auf deinen Kanal gestoßen weil ich auch vor habe eine cx500 umzubauen. Ich finde es toll dass du alles zu einem Video zusammen gefügt hast. Ich würde zwar vieles anders machen aber ich habe trotzdem großen Respekt vor deiner handwerklichen Leistung!

Thanks. Glad you like it.

[@piotrkarol72]

Respect !!! What I like about you is, that you do a lot of stuff on your own and share it with us.

[@forthebold]

Thanks. I try do as much. Only part I don’t trust myself is the relocation of the shock mounts. I believe to be 100% safe that was needed to be done by a qualified fabricator.

[@dakeos9854]

Man, so wish I could do this. Haven't got the space, the tools, or the knowledge unfortunately. Great job though, looks fantastic.

[@syedzaid6676]

I wish that too

[@TheDraindeimo]

The knowledge is gained from perpetual screwup. I finally started putting the tools together, as far as space goes. I live in some really cold ass climates, so I bought a camping awning that is collapsible, typically used for shade during picnics, and put the included wrap on it 3/4 of the way. Keeps the cold out. You’re limited by your own determination.

[@lars-lennartkoller4148]

@@TheDraindeimo I only can agree. I have only a garage for one car. But over the last 2 years I installed a good mechanikal shop here. Knowledge came from learning by doing, tools came piece for piece. Built wo cars in the last two years. Now I'm going to do bike. Everybody told me, that I have not enough space/time/money/tools/expirience/knowledge or whatever. But I started and it worked. If there's a will, there's a way

[@HardwayRanch]

I have enjoyed following your CX500 build from the beginning. I got mine a month after you, but my newly licensed son 'stole' it. A few months ago I had to buy him a 2010 BMW bike to get my CX back! maybe next summer I can start my build. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@forthebold]

Ha, glad you got it back, enjoy the build

[@Beachmangarage]

Your builds and videos have been a real inspiration to me starting my channel last year. Looking forward for what is to come! Happy New Year! Cheers!

[@forthebold]

Amazing, if it's inspired then my work is done

[@Beachmangarage]

Cheers Mate! But you should finish the CB750 first! 😀

[@mansamusmen6188]

This is the BEST demonstration of what a cafe racer should look and feel like. I day dream about this video, I think I can do this and I'm about to find out!

[@outbackwack368]

Man, that is truly badass! That's precisely what I wanted to do with my 1980 CX500D. Then reality struck and I knew I neither the time or inclination to complete it. Sold the bike for $800 and bought a Suzuki Vstrom 650 instead :-( Thanks for sharing!

[@forthebold]

That’s the thing. To strip them all the way down it’s time and money. I see a lot of quick conversions where the bike isn’t stripped down to the frame and my only problem with that is it doesn’t give you chance to see what needs repairing on a 40 year old bike. Maybe one day when you have the time?

Such a beautiful bike, and a great build. I just wish it had a back fender of any sort.

Plus you get shit up your back and on the seat when you cruise around slower. Just my humble opinion, you’re a super skillful builder
