Love your videos.. you dont have a 2min intro, you dont sit and talk to the camera for 5min and dont do any stupid photoshop sketches.. you get to work and try to make the bikes start and then build them from your head and they turn out awesome. And you show mistakes and everything.. and i actually learn stuff from your videos. Keep it up!

this is such an awesome weekly segment ! five out of five stickers

Big friggin YES to a CB550 carb rebuild video, please! Keep up the outstanding work!

A step by step guide for honda carbs would be great!!! Keep up the good work dude!👌👏

Hey there. I've had the most success getting those oil filter bolts by using heat. Before I even try to wrench it off and ruin the bolt head even further, I use a propane torch to heat the bolt. Make sure the area is clean of oil and debris to be safe. Once the bolt is hot, then go to the impact driver. I promise, heat helps sooooo much!! This works for almost any seized bolt. Nothing worse than a project being held up and losing a bunch of the day's energy on a seized bolt.

I'm all in for the carb video too! just recently started taking my '75 CB550 apart, and it'll be a huge help to see!

Great job and yes, would love a carb rebuild video. Thanks for all the hard work, really enjoying the will it run series.

Please make a carb vid. You do a great job explaining the steps while your doing them. It would be a great reference when doing our own.

YES on the rebuild videos! I got two 550 banks to do! great content

Look forward in watching the video's and this channel grow. Thanks for sharing!

I love these videos! It's like watching myself work.....and Im always trying to get something running again....its nice to see someone else with common sense getting stuff done....keep it up......oh and there has been a lot of old cb550s on market place in the DFW area for cheap lately.....just in case your worried about future content 😏

Your video's are gonna be such a lifesaver when I finally get around to putting my dad's cb550 back together! Keep it up!

Amazing video ! Absolutely some of the best I have ever watched on youtube ... wished you were closer.

Hell yeah. I loved the video. I would love to see a step by step video on the carb rebuild as I have this exact same bike. Same year same color. Keep up the amazing channel

1st new bike i ever bought was '72 CB 550 same color...bulletproof & fond memories! Thanks for the wayback trip!

Another great vid. Would be good to see a step by step rebuild of carbs. Keep up the good work 👍

Nice job Sir, back in the day, I had the 500/4 550/4 and 750/4 ya bought back that good time, carry on racing, love ya channel

I have a 77 550, and would LOVE to see an in depth step by step video PLEASE!! Love the content man, keep up all the hard work!! 🤘🏼

Great channel. I love the videos of bringing back old motorcycles. One thing for sure, when you see these types of vids (on all channels), it is a testament to the quality of Japanese motorcycles. With just a little care along the way, they are made to last you a lifetime. I need one in my garage.

i just started out with trying to start a 550 as well! big fan of your videos

Just found your channel and except for the color, this was my first motorcycle. I would give my left nut to be able to find the same bike again and put it back in running condition. Can't wait to see how this rebuild goes (even though it's already been done for nine months).

I had one of those in the 70s and loved it. I was in my teens and had a ball with it. Sold it a few years later when I got into bicycle racing.

Talk about near and dear to your heart, I bought one of those brand new in November 1976. Probably my favorite motorcycle.

Awesome videos bro! Thanks for all your input!

Cool bike, I remember as a kid, I saw the cb550 instantly fell in love with that bike, cool to see one again.

This is the first of your videos that I see, this is great! Heading to your channel now!

Nice! i just got my 1975 CB550F running after getting it from someone who abused it. Rebuilt the carbs, clutch and a lot of other stuff. They dropped it and smashed the speed and taxh so i have a cognito. Did a lot of other changes to make it mine. Its barely recognizable. I may go to pods now that the carbs are synced. Like the video. Shows a lot of the stuff we go through when getting one of these old darlings running.

Looks like someone took good care of it. Can't wait to see what way you take it.

Wow, you’re really doing a good job with the uploads. Very knowledgeable too! I think offering those services would be nice! Cause finding a good mechanic for these old bikes is hard. Well at least in Chicago. I can’t trust them. Anyway thanks bringing this gem back to life.

A great big YES on the Honda carb rebuild tutorial. Trying to work up the confidence to attempt my first carb rebuild on a 74 CB 175.

Very informative and interesting video. Love watching your restoration projects.

Love those bikes, maybe one day I'll own one. Keep up the great work.

Hey Taylor. Great vid. I would love to to see a carb rebuild episode

Really helpful video. Learned a lot to help get my CB500k2 from 1976 running 😁 All the best from the Netherlands.

I have a 1975 550 so looking forward to this build. I like the exhaust

Thanks for this !! I am restoring my fathers 76 550 supersport 4K original miles he bought it brand new , this will help a ton!

I just picked up a 72 CB500 that’s been sitting for about 5 years. Can’t wait to use some of your tips to get mine going😊

You're simply the best on theses legendary old Honda.

My dad bought new a 550 brown like the one in the pictures but had a vetter fairing and custom saddle seat with a lot of other options of the day. Pictures I've seen it was a great. He never had a problem owning it for 5 years. The best bike he ever had. You seem to like them to. A great middle sized bike of the day. Thanks for your videos!! My dad watches most of them and likes them to. Keep on making 550 videos. Thanks 👍 again . From all your fans in Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Awesome build! Sounds sweet! Surprising how you can still find rebuild kits for these old bikes.

20 years ago I had a 1979 cb750k same color brings back a lot of memories

Love this videos men great job!!

Yes please Taylor,a full carb breakdown would be great.Ive got 72 cb500 and something to use as a reference would be great .

Appreciate your videos. Making progress on my CB bikes just by following along with you

Love your videos only just discovered them but hooked!!

Hi ! I have an Honda cb 500 four k1 in jade green and I would love to have a step by step video of the carbs setting and cleaning, as one of the carbs is giving me some issues! 🙏🏻 Nice job by the way! Cheers

Enjoyed this a lot. Got a CL450 twin and would like to ride a CB550 four someday.

P.S. You guys do things the hard way. Get a 2 gallon spray tank. Fill it with a product called Grease Lightning. Pump it up and spray the whole bike down, in the shade. I mean soak it. Wait 17 minutes to 30. Then power wash it off with at least 3000 psi. Bam! Clean bike.

Loving these series. Allen wrench in the plug boot to test the spark! Easy peasy, lets you keep the plug in if you have been kicking fuel through.

Great vids hooked on them. Very educational 👍👍👍

Yea! Been waiting for a full carb rebuild video.. do it!!

Awesome video! Can you make a video about what to look for when tuning the carbs? I have a CB550 as well, and it sounds/idles similar to near the end of the video.

i used ride a brown '74 cb550k back when I was in college. great piece of vintage transportation.

I had to do the very same with the drain bolt on my CB550 K3. Thanks for the great videos!

Just discovered your channel. Loving your videos!

If you like this kind of stuff and I do this is one of the best channels on YT great job looking forward to seeing you put this classic motorcycle on the road

I just got my rebuild kits on an 82' cb650 carb so a vid on the 550 would help a ton!

My first large bike! Fond memories of rebuilding it and taking it on a camping tour of Scotland and the north of England back in summer 1989.

Great video. I think watching something like this really shows my why the '88 GSX1100F I bought about a week ago (which hadn't been used in over a year) is running so crappy. I put good gas in it and even some fuel system cleaner, ... and that has made a little difference, but if riding I can tell it's not running right on all the cyclinders. I am limiting my riding to very short distances while hoping it starts running more the way it should, but have it scheduled for a good tune up a week from now, only because the shop's booked solid and I can't get it in sooner. This bike should be a beast if it's running right, but it's far from that right now.

Hey bud, great video!Came across your channel by chance when searching for CB550 info. I had an orange '76 CB550F1 super sport back in the early eighties. My first big bike also my first major off on it too (fractured leg...9 months before walking properly). These are rare now in the UK...wet and cold winters...destroyed by road salt.Anyhow...just wanted to say have been inspired. Am well into middle age and have built my own Bobbers and café racers but just goes to show can still learn a thing or two from watching these channels. Great tip with the VHT paint and curing with heat gun...simple but genius and am gonnna try on the next frame I paint. Am currently beginning a resto of a '89 Yamaha xv535 virago. Have 4 bikes and my daily commute is a 38 year old Honda CB250RSA single...just great for guys like you to keep these old classic running. Will be a regular viewer!

Subbed, Thanks for the upload. Informative, educational, entertaining. also appreciated for no 'cussing' etc. :)

Yes, a step by step guide with close up shots for Honda carbs would be great. I’m going to tackle my 72 cb500 four’s carbs this fall.

Thanks to you I'm on the hunt for a cb550... street tracker build, here I come!

Great content and as usual you make me want to buy a Honda CB

nice video, awesome work

I just bought today… 76 550f… so excited…❤

I would be 100% into the full blown step by step carb video - Just bought a 1980 CB750c - also, I would def into your services for carbs, both rebuild and blasting. DO it! I'm sure you'll get lots of work. Yer good!

Loving these vids, and you are kind of making me want to get a CB550 to compliment my CB750 (in my profile pic). Come to think of that, you should look into a CB750 or CB650sc build. I think those could have some amazing potential in your capable hands. Edit: I may have to take you up on the carb care package in the future. It sounds like a good idea to me! Edit #2: Only other thought I have (unless you have big plans with all these bikes in the near future) is making sure you don't run out of content. Again, IDK your situation, but seems like you are cranking these things out quickly. Still loving it though! Your uploads have been arriving right after some other channels I follow closely (Hoonigan, Cleetus McFarland, Fasterproms), and it just makes for great days/afternoons. Keep up the fantastic work!

Hey Taylor, I love your vids and wanted to let you in on a life saving trick for situations like those stripped bolts. Put a cut off wheel on a Dremel tool and grind a straight slot into the bolt. Making it a flat head essentially. then rip it out with that. Then you can either use a impact or a flat head in a ratchet. This has saved my ass so many times on these old Hondas with stripped bolts/screws.

Good stuff Taylor!

great bike my husband had one just like it same color and all.. he had a 750 and the 550 as a daily driver he liked to 550 better

That's what I got my motorcycle license on. Love it man!!

Awesome Video! At this point in time I'm restoring a 72 CB 500 and you have definitely helped me along the way with this project. I just like to say thank you very very much! Love seeing the camaro in the background along with what appears to be an LS engine sitting on the stand. You planning to LS the camaro one day soon??

The Doctor! impressive capabilities man...

Another one brought back from the dead! Awesome!

Def interested in a ‘how to’ carb rebuild for the CB550!

I love that buzzer and horn!

good idea to firstly clean the carbs,the tiny pilot jets are nearly always blocked in these carbs,Great video,

Yes yes yes on the carb rebuild videos!!!!!

Love the cb550s. Can you do a motor rebuild in the future? Thanks for the videos.

I appreciate the longer format - very interesting. I could not hear the A/C running.

I currently live in Thailand , and whilst I’ve never been a motorcycle guy, I came across your channel during C19 lockdown here. I used to restore classic British sports cars in the UK as a hobby, and would love to restore one of the classic CBs, but no room here alas. Honestly don’t like the profile of the modern bikes, but love the CBs. Here in Thailand unfortunately even basket cases command high prices, which is another problem for starting to build one as a hobby. Anyway bottom line is I love your channel and particularly the Honda projects, and the style of the vlogs. Love the workshop. I think you’ve got a great business model, and are targeting a niche market. Wish you well.

I’ve been asking you to do a carb service for two (2) years. !!!!!!!! Lol 😂 thanks 🙏 finally haha 🤣

Make the Honda carb video. I’m interested! Also would like to see you take that front tire off and the break rebuild

Loved my Honda CB 550 K3, got it in 1978 and only parted with it when I got married.

Love the Honda fours, 350 and up.

I have the same model ultrasonic cleaner from Amazon. I got the larger size which allows you to put the whole rack of 4 carbs in without disassembling them from the rack. Can save you a few hours of time especially if you will be doing this a lot. If your throttle slides are stuck that's a problem, but hopefully soaking can help you. I've never used carb cleaner in mine. I use simple green purple, diluted to about 10-20% in water. If you are working with really nasty carbs you probably need something stronger.

Really like the rebuild videos.

U r amazing mate god bless you keep up the good work

Love to see step by step of carbs

taylor, a guy like you who makes great content and is always wrenching, i really would love to see you do a full tear down restoration back to stock. I've seen timelapses but i dont think I've seen anyone do a detailed video. Maybe this bike isn't the one but maybe in the future. I'm sure it would be a year+ process though. Just a thought!

wow brings back memories that looks like my first street bike

Brother..... you are so talented. A tremendous inspiration. Are you offering the carb rebuild service? Right over here in Central Louisiana with a 1976 CB550 Four. Looking to get them professionally cleaned and rebuilt! Thanks again for all of the fabulous videos!

Definitely would like to see a rebuild carburetor video!!!

Good video! Definitely would appreciate a full rebuild vid. Thanks

New subscriber from the UK here. I just bought two US import CB550s, and i am going to do a carb' rebuild on both. I really appreciate your clear and methodical instruction work here. I have the workshop manual, but pictures are worth a thousand words right? and a video more so. Thanks.

I don't even have a rack of carbs but I'd love to watch a video you would make about them!

Saw those oak trees by your driveway, thought "that looks like central TX", then I saw the TX flag and you finally mentioned Austin. Greetings from Burnet Road/Koenig. I have a dead CX500 that needs lots of TLC. My buddy was here on his 78 CB550 earlier.

Most bikes aren't broken when parked under the tarp. Honda will run with air,spark,gas (any gas, moonshine, two stroke out of the chainsaw....yes I have!) And these older bikes should have some two stroke mix run through them because of the super unleaded, and ethanol additives. I used to do it once a year. Makes it run like new for 6 months or so.

She sounds AWESOME!!
