That 525 rear sprocket is going to eat up that new chain. The difference between 525 and 520 isn't just the width. 525 has a longer distance between pins, too. The right way to do a 520 conversion is to buy 520 sprockets. Vortex and supersprox both have 520 rear sprockets for that bike for around 50 usd. You don't mess around when it comes to chains. When they break, they can cause a lot of damage or cause serious bodily injuries.

[@TumzDK]

I'm pretty sure the 5-series chains all have the same pitch and roller diameter.

[@neonnxs2737]

As a guy with a old bike who’s constantly looking for parts I can appreciate him saving and selling parts off of it

[@reubroper1427]

yeah but it did seem like a interesting selection of what gets trashed and what's put up for sale

[@brentbauer8258]

Ummmmm $577.02. You forgot your wife’s two cents

[@roodick85]

Saved the whole build lol

[@chrishill1507]

Lmao good call. 👍

[@paullacey2999]

🤣🤣🤣

[@breckinearley3128]

Eminem said his two cents are free so hers should be too unless of course she gave her ten cents

[@dawnlacomis-xg6vh]

This comment is so underrated. Hilarious.

[@dougey3192]

I'm a Marine Corps veteran struggling with addiction. I'm almost 6 months clean and you're inspiring me to build something. I've always wanted a dirt bike. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@TheTexasVet]

Keep your head up Devil!

[@spencerchristie4000]

The devil plays in an idle mind! I say get after it!

[@NikilaMoo]

Well done. Go after that dream and Build yourself a bike. Best thing you can do. 15 years clean now, Never looked back. Keep busy my friend.

[@allenvayner4987]

Soon, there is going to be the rapture. It's when there will be trumpet sounds, and after the trumpet sounds, God will lift his people from here. Also, God said people should be living by the Bible. Amen, and God bless you. * John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life".

[@dougey3192]

@@allenvayner4987 yeah, I agree with that. But you got to recite a better verse than that one. Everybody and their mom knows that one. How well do you actually know the Bible?

[@budlistar5312]

Yep, CAD= Cardboard Aided Design. Love it.

[@artemisdarkslayer]

May have just found my new favorite build channel. Good music, good humor, and great builds.

[@123mirc]

I think I definitely found my new favorite build channel. :)

[@beforebefore]

and good cinematography!

[@shaybell9909]

I know I'm late but I just came across your VFR "Custom" build. Sweet Mother of Jebus! $577 to make one of the best looking greatest Sports/Tourer Bikes in History look like it was built for $200 by some 16yr old Kid in Bangkok .Well Done.

[@danielmori501]

Well said sir. Absolute sacrilege. Poor bike.

[@DgtalBreakz]

To each their own... I dont like the aesthetics either, but at least the guy revived the bike and took care of it. To me, thats all that matters.

[@PumpKing96]

Yes. It doesn't even look bad from afar. And I have no problem with the idea behind this or the design. BUT the execution is just terrible! Bad spray paint and dents? - Just put stickers on em!

[@elementjoe]

Your now my favorite builder on KZbin. Great design ideas, technical ability and attitude. Thanks for not making a 15 minute video 2 hours for no reason.

[@monkonthikamandha6514]

well done, BRAVO! 101 points for innovation and 1000 points for cheap Charlie Keep coming!

[@Brian-mp2mv]

Awesome build! (came over from Bikes & Beards) Hope to see you & Sean colab on a project or two👍

[@neilknaak]

Wrist-orimeter .... best line of the whole video.... thanks Sparky

[@SirLucien]

If anyone deserved a Million subscriber channel, it's you!!

[@aryank1ng748]

Can we take a minute to appreciate the music choices of the video

[@Rickd-jh7iw]

Your technique for doing sheet metal is exactly like mine. Print out the flat pattern and stick it to the metal. I sometimes need to do the same thing with tubes. Split the cad model and convert it to sheet metal, flatten it, print it out and wrap it around the tubing and you have the pattern to join tubes.

[@kiffing]

Just watched the Motobeardo from Bikes and Beards. Came to see the build video clicked another video afterward it was done and now I'm clicking subscribe cause you are entertaining as all get out. Thank you!

[@lauralhildebrand4987]

So cool! What fun this was to watch.

[@MrJob91]

Wow the motorbeardo and the streetfighter, Some truly classic bike builds from 2022! what 2023 has on offer? This is amazing

[@TazawaTanks]

RIP Jim Lindemann. He was a super nice guy…he used to work on the suspension of my race bikes.

[@judeverge]

The motobeardo build brought me here. This video made me subscribe. Cool build man!

[@chrissalimi8708]

The "Sketchy Way" is the only way 👊

[@willslowik7264]

Looks great Sparky! Huge improvement for very little coin.

[@Ariautoace]

The last part when he was changing gears. Love it.

[@laynetravis]

The most fun to watch cleaning building old bike to a cool one

[@bewhitey]

That's a fun $500 bike! I hate painting, don't have the patience for it

[@kristoforf5713]

that thing turned out so sick! Nice build 🤙

[@robbiemckinnon7901]

I wouldn't have ebayed that exhaust that you took off @4:06 That may have been a Two Brothers aftermarket exhaust header by the looks of it. Unobtanium at this point.

[@qieedishmael9897]

Amazing build and very unique. First time seeing your channel, love the work. Got a new subscriber!!

[@fisshuman]

Humble guy, cool build and awesome video in one channel. He deserves a lot of subscribers.

[@ldrfilms9077]

I personally would have loved a cafe racer build for this bike but this one is amazing too.! 😁 Awesome build, great skills, and very funny as well.🤣

[@djordjenovakovic9409]

Well done, great job, and thats really great motorcycles everyone can afford.

[@percybrown]

Love the positive can do approach! Don't buy new if you can buy second hand and don't buy at all if you can make it!

[@Daehawk]

Damn thats beautiful. Ive wanted a bike my entire life since I started out wanting a minibike when I was 8. Im 53 now and pay off my home next year. So either I try then or decide Im too old and not bother lol.

[@DrMurdercock]

7:31 Ronnie Mac would be so proud of you for that one!

[@SlightlyLessFat]

Bad ass dude! Crate it and ship it to me! Ha-ha!

[@hdtwista3692]

Found this channel from the moto for bikes and beards and loving it

[@kirkwhite6578]

Bro that was nothing but awesomeness!!!!! Great work bro keep then coming! And just remember paint side up & rubber side down!!

[@coyster530]

Nice job man wish I had the ingenuity

[@FattyTumTum]

Had the same bike for years and wish i never got rid of it. One of the best bikes ive ridden from that era in my opinion

[@BUNKERJR53]

Sparky, that is one cool piece of machinery. Never was a big Honda fan but I won't downgrade you or deduct any points (LOL). I'd ride it in a heartbeat. You do some amazing fabrication work my man. Glad I watched that build you did for Sean because I found a new favorite channel. Keep doing what you do brother.

[@justinm.3594]

This is awesome I thoroughly enjoy this type of video. It’s so thought-provoking!

[@billbkr32ify]

Love your videos. I just came across your channel. You have some crazy skills. I look forward to more videos. Love the build you did for Bikes and Beards.

[@danieldougan8550]

Dude your channels about to go viral, you got mad skills and a great heart given that last like away

[@BlackvinDiesel]

Great work Sparky! Keep up the dope work! I see why Sean and the rest of the Bikes and Beards crew were so impressed! The detail

[@joseluisnunez7714]

You are extremely talented! My dear friend! God bless!

[@henrysanchez1647]

Bro this video has resparked my passion for working ony bike. I really appreciate your workmanship and effort to make such a beautiful build. Now I feel like I can finish mine.

[@that_frog_gamer]

Love that jump cut for the clutch I thought it was funny

[@kyussdemon1]

Thanks to Bikes and Beards for bringing me to this channel. New sub, and loving the content. Just wish you were my neighbor, lol.

[@xpndblhero5170]

That is such an awesome bike, I'd love to start doing something like this but I'd most likely be doing electric conversions..... 😁

[@loganerwin9654]

Great video thorough description links you're a Savage

[@bernonic]

really fun project - great ideas and execution

[@DaytonCarCare]

Had a 91 VFR750 that was red but in mint condition. Have a 01 Triumph Speed Triple 955i now. Looks alot like your bike is set up like a street fighter even single sided swing arm. They came stock that way

[@jason-oh6qr]

Very nice! I've got a new to me 98 vfr and I can't find parts hardly at all! I know they are out there but very good at hiding. Keep up the awesome work!

[@govnor1495]

Awesome. I just wish I had seen this in my 20s.

[@DetroitMicroSound]

You have a great channel here! Keep it up! You also have great ideas!

[@StewsChannel]

That's pretty dang cool! Looks like a lot of fun 👍

[@Toolin.Around]

When I lived in the valley APF was my go to!

[@boxrecordz]

Very entertaining. Hats off for going for it. 😁 granted there are a few questionable “get arounds” but those will be issues you address in the process. The RC36 engine still outlives a lot of modern builds and sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing 💪

[@mauricioramirez1456]

Awesome build, you make me want to do one, then I remember I do not have the skills or patience!!! Great job!!!!

[@07D675]

Nothing better than a screamin' V4

[@koreanstallion]

Great work! Nice video too!

[@ryanbox30]

Dude! You forget one of the best parts, the forkbrace. I would definitely put that back on purely for the improvement it makes on handling

[@Kplatt3]

Those vfrs have some kick. The v tec is so crazy too

[@justinbrandt419]

Bike looks amazing!

[@JOHNCXLE]

The memories of that b roll footage at the end, those twistys on T S Road were my favorite on my CBR. Also love the channel great content.

[@bobbylandicho3868]

Awesome im so envious, still working on bike for two weeks now as i couldn't get to rev up

[@arthurwachnik8700]

My favourite new channel.

[@banjominer9682]

i had the hawk 650 with same frame..awesome bike to putt around on

[@TravisTerrell]

I'd love one of these bikes, just for that unique engine. I don't see them often in my area, and not for very cheap. Maybe if one ever pops up with 110k miles... 😆

[@TheTexasVet]

Great build! Love the video. Now go work on those cornering skills :)

[@r1kelvee153]

Very cool enjoyed watching this

[@WarrensAdventures]

Ok, some parts of that build were a little sketch, but end result was AWESOME. Especially for the cost. I “built” a street fighter out of an 05 GSXR and i regret selling it to this day…

[@stephenvalle6854]

Subscribed! I am happy with the build. It makes me want to build another scrambler bike.

[@0shiny1]

Best bang for the buck I've seen great job ! I subbed !😉 BTW my mate has an R6 with a very similar look/theme, his was more RAF, however... I think he spent a fortune on just the air brushed bullet holes and rivets. 😜

[@boxcrashmfg9420]

I love it, true garage build. turned out pretty darn good!

[@thetanarena290]

He's creative and skillfull guy

[@OakInch]

Awesome job. That looks great! People who see that, without knowing what you started with, are going to wonder why you cut up and shot a perfectly good bike.

[@lukavidovic3939]

How do you only have 4k subscribers you are Soo amazing wow

[@bassam2433]

You are thoroughly likeable my friend. +1 subscriber and regular watcher (from here on out). Can't wait to see more!

[@kumailrizvi3579]

you really did a good job

[@tfconstruction5969]

Looks bloody awsome man top notch transformation

[@ryanGnVtown]

Can't beet that V4 sound. RrrrrrRrrrr!

[@xclusivemotorz718]

What tachometer did you use. I am building one aswell and I have just been riding without one

[@spearshaker7974]

I have an older Kawasaki ex and I’ve been thinking about marking it a street fighter since it’s all busted up and stuff but it is rideable

[@brwhyon]

Hey, nice build ! Let's see, CAD ( cardboard aided design ) check, dangerously simple sprocket lathe, check, safety third at all times, check . Well done !

[@brianmusfelt1077]

Dude this is the coolest build ive ever seen. Keep at it you got some real skill man. You should put your vids on facebook

[@mikeb1039]

$600 in parts and $10,000 in labor ;) Nicely done, you are a handy guy.

[@ericswanson9230]

I have a project where I want that same rivet look. Did the sticker vinyl method work good other then pulling up the clear coat? My application is oem car paint so I don't think that will be a issue for me. Great Videos and Idea's! look forward to seeing more!

[@i8every1]

Stunning buddy ...love it

[@costofexpansebrain8025]

Mama told me, "if you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all"

[@userout8446]

I love your energy bro i subscribes just after watching 2 minutes of the videos + u did a great work here u made a real beast thanks for sharing this masterpiece building with us

[@nickinfamous1]

You're too cool, love the bike! Awesome project

[@jamesbarber8308]

That thing is sick

[@Lucas12v]

Great work. I really like the honda v4's. At least until it's time to do the valves lol.

[@Thejayfrancis]

Dude, awesome build! Love your channel.

[@mordechaicohen1911]

Great project… with gas expenses and labor you’re looking at 5.7k nonetheless you got a single sided swing arm V4 exotica in todays terms with 100 bulletproof ponies for less than a grand… kudos
