Don't get lost trying to please people on youtube. I loved watching you in your shed because it was authentic.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Hopefully it's still authentic

[@J-Gx]

@@BrickHouseBuilds Definitely is! Wouldn't still be here if it wasn't :)

[@richardoflaherty4706]

That is sound advice - look at the road, not the dials 😊

[@the_cafe_racer_project]

Honestly, your channel is great, I like the mix of content. I often go back to the old stuff for guidance. I like the balance between you buying stock, updates on progress, details of builds and bike nights. I appreciate what you do for the community.

The phrase whats good for the goose ain't always good for the gander comes to mind. Dude your channel rules. I have learned from and enjoyed so much of your content. Build and fix and ride what ever you want. I'll be here to watch as long as theres videos coming out. 👍

[@kristiansandsmark2048]

Hey i always look forward to your episodes. Personally i think you are doing great in regards the video quality, but it takes time for people to discover you. Hope you get the view numbers you deserve soon, and keep up the great work. 👍

[@Desertfox92308]

I really enjoy the "will it run"? and the revival videos, I have never been a custom fan, but I watch all of your videos! At 65 years old I have owned too many bikes to count, but I appreciate all the hard work you guys do in the shop👍😀🔥

[@walt7518]

What can I say, you post them, I watch them!

[@davekeehn8388]

You’ll find the right mix. Quality subscribers will allow you to do what you and they like. Folks that like old bikes also like seeing them turned from junk into gems. Taking a neglected junk bike and doing something adventurous like a race or trip are fun. Keep ‘em coming.

[@martinowl]

You are running a business. Whatever pays the bills, wages & gives you a profit is the path to follow. If the fun parts achieve this, then perfect. You put vids out vids on what keeps the business going & you will have lots of viewers because it’s quality content.

[@johnwdavisjr]

I got taken in a vintage Honda Facebook group. (Really Great deal on a whole seat assembly) I know the feeling. Since then I have been helping others to not do the same.

[@wilkitcher6960]

Definitely looking forward to the wiring video - always a bit of a mystery to me!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

It will be a lengthy one for sure but full of information

[@daveco1270]

I'll admit it, I do like a good will it run video. Mainly to see the steps taken to get it running. There's a young guy with a channel called 2vintage and all he really does is buy bikes (and other vehicles) and get them running in his garage. Somehow he's been able to get nearly 500,000 subs. It's pretty impressive. We need to get Brickhouse to 500,000 and beyond.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Yeah I see his growth as well as the bearded mechanic and just wonder where the views are.

[@skidd898]

I really loved the 48 hr. challenge video and redemption ride ,I loved the idea of taking a bike right out of the bone yard and bringing it back to life and doing that challenge it was great

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@skidd898]

I think of doing this to raise money for St. Judes to show the kids something like this bike now is sick but with the right doctors and care it can be fixed and live a normal life ,it may not be perfect but goes on living a full life, you know like for a St. Judes ride.

[@peteraitken6494]

Some cracking bikes and projects BJ thank god you’ve kept the 750 that is a cracking bike for sure must say liked the black Norton commando at bike night was very tidy looking have a great weekend love the channel and you guys of course 👍👌🏍️🏍️🏁🏁❤️

I absolutely love that I found your channel a couple of months ago. My 16 year old son and myself watch every episode.Don’t worry so much about comments.. I’m not sure if you know that people like me has KZbin premium on my (Roku TV) which has no advertising (not KZbin Tv) on my Roku TV you cannot comment unless I go to my mobile phone. I would like to comment sometimes but it’s a lot of trouble to do it on the mobile phone. Keep up the good work. And I’ll start commenting to help your algorithms

[@laddie115]

I am happy to see every single video you guys put out !! i vote hell yes on the adventure bikes , and thank you guys again for taking the time to make these videos

[@xscoops1]

BJ love you love the channel, I definitely appreciate the resto vids I think the trouble with them and KZbin is they are somewhat of a commitment as a viewer, there multiple videos from beginning to end and viewers seem to want to see completion in 1 video, that would be my guess, I still believe your audience would like to see the series since it seemed like you grew a ton with those builds but it's KZbin and it's an algorithm at the end of the day. Keep pushing!

As for the honda challenge bikes ---- I had a '71 honda 350 cl which was about 150 lbs overweight for off road. True, it was the brightspot in my day at the time, but that's not saying much. I got a new '74 Norton 850 Commando (kickstart,) and transed into a stud. True story. Well, anyway I felt like a stud. BTW if I had had any business skills I would still be riding that Norton.

To keep cash coming through the business, why not do work on dirt bikes too, vintage dirt bikes? A lot more simple.....

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Well we try to specialize in the 70s - 80s Japanese bike segment and have lots of demand there

[@Storm.13]

As an Aussie , im ashamed he did that to you BJ.....so i just bought a hoodie to help out in some way and also rep the channel locally 😉

[@johnackerman9277]

Enjoy your channel, turn those little Honda’s into dirt bikes!

[@5tr41ghtGuy]

I love this channel, mostly for the in-depth information on how to fix things. That being the case, seeing work done on a variety of different bikes is valuable. Also, the historically interesting bikes are a lot of fun!

[@johndonlon1611]

You are spot on correct when the viewers demand "more, more more." However, you know the wise thing is to meet your personal and business obligations first and then move along when time, energy and money permit. BTW: The Kerker set you desire is probably sitting on someone's shelf 200 miles away from you. Don't go looking at foreign sources for domestically made products. Vintage guitar buyers find that out frequently--the hard expensive way.

The 48 hour challenge and redemption ride is how I found your channel and subscribed. Loved the creativity and being able to do a lot with a little. Be more need less!

[@rockygoodfellow77]

As for your content, you attracted your followers by doing what you want to do and what you enjoy doing. That's what people like us like to watch. Don't chase your tail trying to please everyone. Stick to what you know and what you are good at and build your success with that authenticity.

[@TBone-yc6zg]

Seems like anything "will it run" does well. I watch most anything you post, but I like to learn things I don't know or need a refresher on.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

The will it run videos are far more generalized so they attract a larger audience

[@salvagebeast5975]

I love the idea of turning vintage bikes into adventure bikes!

[@gerasussete]

I'd watch the challenge/budget bikes be turned into dirt bike things! That sounds fun

[@bonniville4eva]

I find getting started on a job difficult, but when I manage to get past that barrier, it's hard to stop😂.

[@reinier123]

Truth is for channel growth clickbaity barn finds/ will it run vids are probably the way to go (unfortunately). But your core fans probably prefer the longer format custom builds. So it's a balancing act. I'll watch whatever you put out simply because I like you as a person and craftsman. Good luck and greetings from an international fan. 🇳🇱 👍🏻

[@Justk75]

@reinier123 agreed love the longer format builds

[@teresaredzonemurray]

I agree with the others. KZbin will burn you out fast, audiences are fickle. Anyone can make a will it run video, I watch your channel because of the quality and the learning I get from what you do. I personally would be disappointed if you started doing ´will it run videos´- there is only so much of those I can take! I watch you avidly because you are different, and your content stands out and you have integrity. You are right, you must make good business decisions for YOU. Not for your audience and most importantly you must be enjoying what you do. That is the most important thing. You give a lot and maybe we don't give enough back. I'm thinking. Sorry you got scammed, don't beat yourself up, there are bad people out there who prey on good people. Relish in the fact that you are one of the better people out there! Congrats on what you do and how you do it, don't live or work for views. Stay true to what you are and want. There are already more than enough 'will it run' videos.... man don't go there! Pleeeeeaase!

[@DutchedShedBuilds]

If you are going full time youtube it must be different to wrenching in your shed sharing knowledge and having fun making a video everey now and then, spending way to much editing them. Growing and maintaining a channel is hard work for sure. Harder then most people think. I hope you guys keep chosing your own path instead of following the algorithym because before you know it you will be selling make-up to under-aged girls. Or food-replacements.. But i have to admit.... i do like " will it run" videos 🤫

[@mistermacgray]

Being a youtuber isn't easy, for most it's turning on the camera and showing their hobby, for some, it's a living and for the first couple of years you will be lucky to break even. One thing I've learned making videos is people like one time videos of will it run/revivals on things vs a long drawn out series. Anyways I'm here for the long haul to watch what you do.

[@SI33PEER]

CB 750 is your channels singular identity.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

That part of the problem actually. 1 video got millions of views and half of my total subscribers. Because of that, the new audience rejected the custom work and the algorithm only showed my videos to that new audience base. I had to adapt

[@laz1go286]

Sorry to hear you AUS experience. I hope they get what they deserve.. As for the V-Max exhaust. You could get a good condition stock exhaust and empty it for free flow. It will sound great. I did a half empty stock exhaust on my VFR800 and it sounded epic, like Motogp haha🤟

[@martinjollimore5441]

I’ll watch anything you post. Brick House Builds is my favourite channel by far. I wear my hoodie on a regular basis! There’s tons of stuff on KZbin, most of which I can’t relate to. What reeled me in with BHB was you did all this with the same tools I have in my garage. Anyone can build cool stuff when they have a multimillion dollar budget. You made me realize I can actually go out in my garage, and tear into my old 1986 VFR750 that was left for dead, and in a couple weeks and about $40, I actually drove it around my subdivision. I would have never tried that had I not found you on KZbin. So my advice is to keep it real, keep doing what got you here. You build cool stuff, you keep the budget realistic, and you prove it can be done with normal tools.

I think I was bad with. these three bikes that I got on fbMP. every purchase (low prices) but every purchase has a story~ I think that conversation about "barn finds." from you guys in Feb did it to me. and infection. a motorcycle virus you know. Too much. But oh so much fun. Naaaaaa! On and on and On. Having fun. I'll tell ya. I would definitely be along for whatever ~ appropriate if I were nearby and in the "hood." An inspiration you are.

[@ssteele1812]

Scramblers and ADV bike conversions are my jam. I watch everything you put out there but I would love to see the 48 hour bikes get some ADV love. I know I am in the minority but I would like to see a video or two on some smaller displacement twins. Maybe a 250-350.

[@joelarson1733]

Being surrounded by bikes is a dream. It's okay to slow down and appreciate what you've got. I hope you just do what makes you happy. I would take a couple of them off your hands though, if you were closer lol. Although hopefully I'll be grabbing up a CL350 project this week, and a couple more cb750's.

[@rsc68er]

Hey BJ mate sorry you got scammed. I'm here in Brisbane Australia just one hour away from where you bought some parts for a previous project. Mate I too have been scammed, I wanted a grab rail for my 2012 Triumph Bonneville T100, and lost my coinage. Mate Australia was a honest country before, but now we have a influx of immigrants that have totally changed our relaxed honest life style. It absolutely saddens me because my 12 year old Daughter won't get to experience what growing up was like for me. We have a growing population of people who like to work in 7/11s. I'm not painting them all with the same brush because some them are good people but they come here don't like our laws and have a air off arrogance about themselves thinking somehow they are better than others. Anyways I know I'm preaching to the choir as I see your country has a shocking immigration problem right now, well maybe that will hopefully all change in November for you guys when the real President is re elected.

[@JoshA86]

Would love to see the challenge bikes turn into some ratty adventure (Mad Max?) rides. Looking forward to seeing that XS complete and still waiting on that GS/Katana project 👍.

Glad to see those British bikes are living up to their reputation! They should bring their own oil pans to bike night! Just an FYI, and I am so sorry you got scammed, but another channel I watch, Dork in the Road, has about the same number of subscribers, and his highest-viewed video was about how someone tried to scam him when he was selling a car. So maybe your fate could turn to fortune, hopefully!

[@BigIronTexas]

We see your issue quite a bit on YT. Someone with passion starts a channel and wants to share the details of their hobby/interest with a wider audience. Once the channel gets going the content creator sees that people only want entertainment. The content creator then has to make a choice. He or she can make entertainment videos in the vein of those hobbies/interests and be successful or make informative videos about those hobbies/interests. Maybe choose the former, have fun with it and occasionally take a moment to appreciate the life it enables for you. Either way I'll probably still be here watching you guys living that vintage bike lifestyle. 🤘🤘
