Working on the Yamaha SR500 Cafe Racer. Also shot this round with the GO PRO 3.
Stripped all the old parts, media blasted, cleaned and powdercoated everything...
This was an EX- race bike so it had no side stand. After cutting down some parts from a yamaha fzr600 i was able to make it work for the SR500, then always moving forward
rebuilt the front end with progressive suspension and started to re-assemble the project

Sick build! Sold the 79 I built about 10 years ago and regretted it every since. I've been on the hunt for another one for 7 years and finally found one locally! A runner for a good price no less. Gonna go full scrambler on this one. Your work inspires me! Thanks for sharing the build.

[@lebaronking1581]

I enjoy watching your work. That's an amazing bike and the Made in LA is perfect.

[@oldcaferacer]

made in L A. do like the powder coating oven can not wait to see the SR 500 coming a long keep the faith great build Chris

[@supra60]

I appreciate that the only sound out ya mouth was the whistle at the billet pieces, haha. I have a set of vortex clip-on's fit to my SR also. I mounted the bars over the top triple so they had tank clearance, more comfort and angle freedom too. But now I'm considering a set of alloy MX bars, ha.

[@jeffruebens8355]

Check out the Seal Mate fork seal cleaning tool to make fork seals last a lot longer- you can make this tool from a piece of a plastic milk jug. I also buy Dupont Chainsaver spray from Walmart and spray it into the top of the fork seals every few weeks, to prevent seal age cracks and help keep sand out of the seals.

[@ajoscar66]

Excellent work! I am in a similar project but with a Honda CB400N is not if you're going to have the same termination the cone of you but I do my best to make it so. A hug! Javier

Great regards from Indonesia

[@tuffsideseats]

hey Marco. Just FYI it was a 3/8 air gun set on low. I did go around after with the torque wrench. But why turn a wrench when you don't have to?

[@Away.Aweigh.A.Way.]

[@luisbarreto9047]

i need help on my honda xL 250cc 1986 it's my first time bilding a cafe racer can you help me out???

[@marcomich88]

everything great, but i don't like when you tighten the brake disc bolts with the air gun. I would use the torque wrench or at least using the key in hand.

[@ariehandoko1437]

nice.....

[@Stavrosspd]

nice

[@RitonSamba]

Hi , I live in france and i have never seen your paint system... can you give me more information about this ? very good video !

[@tuffsideseats]

its not spray paint, its powdercoat. The big oven i built myself too. Thanks!

[@garraper]

Chris Chappell wear a good mask...

[@mbreally2714]

Question, why do you chemically strip the parts and then media blast them? Why not just media blast them to start? Is there some advantage to chemically stripping first? Just curious. Nice work.

[@tuffsideseats]

only because at that time i did my own blasting. My little blaster would not take off some of the material unless it was loosened up with chemical first. Now i just send it all out. Thanks

[@mbreally2714]

Chris Chappell Cool, thanks for the reply.

[@Lunchmeat37]

+Chris Chappell when you D tabbed the frame what all does it requires? I'm in the process now but unsure what to do to do tab

[@ievgenplenus1689]

Kurang hajar ni orang ganti made in jepang diganti dengan Made in la hilang dong jadinya originalis sebuah karya buatan Jepang

[@roadsterman]

I wish you would turn off the music and describe what you are doing.

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

Hey Chris, you are actually doing my dream job so here's the deal; we swap. You get to have my career as a shuttering joiner, my wife (you'll like her) and kids, Transit van, and house. I get your job. The dog stays with me or no deal!

[@pranavjoglekar1197]

Kevin Chamberlain lol I r funny

[@datboiishere5759]

Man that's insane XD

[@pw2234]

Why erase the inscription Made in "Japan"?

[@pw2234]

カスタムバイク仕上げて製造国刻印打ち変えるとは、アメリカのオートバイ業界、実に残念。日本人はハーレーダビットソンのカスタムしても刻印打ち変えたりはしないよ。

[@tuffsideseats]

+penguin walk because it did not roll of the assembly line in Japan looking like this. This was done in LA.

[@pw2234]

+Chris Chappell If Japanese in Japan is remodeling of the Harley-Davidson, or become a made in Japan? It does not become so. “Erasure and Change of engraved“ is feel that has been overwritten of pride. ends with this.

[@JoeCnNd]

It's like the saying that if you over time change every board of a boat one by one over the years is that boat technically a new boat or still the same boat. Just different opinions on this.

[@pw2234]

Also it came. This video. I feel hot and sluggish. At, What is it? Boat? board? boot? What are you showing? Yamaha manufactures a boat of both freshwater boat and sea boat. I English is no good. Please write easy read text. Opinion is the difference is a matter of course. Here in Japanese is just me.

[@valeriorosato966]

beati voi che potete fare certe cose io avrei un milione di idee ma non posso metterle in cantiere perche tutti i miei soldi li ho spesi per fare grandi i miei tre figli era meglio che mi compravo una moto almeno adesso ce l avevo qui invece adesso miritrovo sensa soldi sensa figli e sensa moto c aveva ragione mio padre quando mi diceva che un padre e capace a campare 100 figli ma 100 figli non sono capaci di campare un padre
