I was 16 when this bike came out, and was forever in awe of these machines. You deserve at least a medal for doing this spectacular restoration! Much respect, man.

I am following this series from day 1

What an incredible moment that must have been for you. You have brought back an iconic piece of Honda's past from the dead. Well done Sir, well done. Absolutely beautiful in every detail!!!

In 1980, I had my CB 750 in for service at the dealership I bought it at. They had a silver CBX on the floor and I was able to get a test ride. The first time I gave it full throttle it slid me way back on the seat. What a bike!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember seeing these beautiful candy red CBX1000s when I was a kid and I still feel the same when I see and hear one now. You’ve done amazing job here sir. Congratulations 👏🏻 All the best from your friends in the UK 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Man I loved every bit of it. The level of dedication put into this project was insane. Love From Pakistan 🇵🇰

In the early 80's a friend had a silver CBX and he let me ride it. Powerful and smooth. Beautiful job on the restoration.

The two bikes I have from those days, 79 CBX and 83 1100f

I've just finished the series and want to thank you for taking the time to present this. I hope to start my 79 restoration this year and this is a tremendous resource and inspiration. Well done.

Thank goodness for guys like this, helping restore and maintain rolling history. If I had the $ I’d have a warehouse full of bikes and do nothing but restore vintage motorcycles, dream on Alice

Omg. I bought one of these for $1000. Thank God I found you. It runs but it definitely needs carbs work.

the result is amazing, best restoration i ever seen!

Beautiful work Peter ...... seems like yesterday we had a little pleasant back and forth on your project ....... that was 4 years ago !! Glad to see you got thru it and it looks and sounds amazing !!

Wow, Nice job! This is very helpful because I have had my CBX sitting for 14 years and I'm getting it detailed up and back together. Great inspiration and very informative. I just wish you were in Ohio to use your expertise!

well done for bringing this fantastic bike back to life 👏👏👏👏.

Wow, what an awesome job! I almost bought a CBX with 300 miles on it. It had never had a drop of water on it. If only I had known....!

Just unbelievable! Well done!!!

Thank you for giving this legend a new life

Impeccable craftmanship leads to an amazing result!

well done! Fantastic restauration.

So sad to see the series end, so glad to see the bike finished. Mines in the middle of a light restoration, can’t wait.

Fabulous video I had won in 1985 in Trinidad before speed cameras I think it was the only one, I had so much fun it was beautiful second gear was magic

I had one just like this - bought it early 1980 (new) when I lived in South Africa - and had it for about a year and a half. Loved it... but the power scared me a bit. Bought a Suzuki 850G, and had that for just over 20 years. What you have achieved here is remarkable - and your passion and love for these fine classics is clearly evident. I salute you, good sir, for rescuing this lovely beast, and turning it back into a beauty. There's one in excellent condition for sale here in the UK - with an asking price of around £25,000. Yours is probably worth that - perhaps more!

love these bikes I would be buying one next year have to refurbish it, I'll be guided by your videos.

Outstanding job! 😎

Great job!

Nice! Job well done! Congratulations! ✌

Beautiful bike Pete.

bike looks great.

Thanks for the series of videos. One of the best series I've seen on KZfaq. Your attention to detail and measured approach is an inspiration to rebuilders/restorers everywhere. I fondly remember the CBX and I'm delighted to see them being restored into showroom condition.

Thank you Peter. Excellent and outstanding work. It is the necessary and definitive guide for those of us who want to keep these relics alive. I own a '78 CBX with serial number CB1-XXX1070, which actually needs some attention, with special mention to the first gear, which jumps any time. In addition carburators tune up, which has been the main headache since the beggining. The problem is that in Spain, these bikes never were selled from the official Honda shops due to import restrictions, so in the official site, they even have manuals and knowledge of how to repair them. I spent huge in mechanics in the hope they could find solutions. They just investigate with it and never find the right solution. With your glorious guide I am sure that I will be able to give my CBX the solutions it needs. Eternally grateful.

Nais work.nais baik .God luck from Jörgen in Sweden.

Nice job!

I grew up in Fremont in the 60-70's,spent a fair amount of time and money at Fremont Yamaha on Fremont blvd..

Gratitude to the dedication of this man.

Great! Perfect bike restauration, better than new…

What a fantastic job you made on that bike, I actually said something unrepeatable out loud when I saw those carbs, totally awesome, thanks for making this series, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great video thanks for posting, brings back great memories, I owned the first model released in silver/black, as I recall 104 HP at the crank, I heard shortly afterward HP was reduced to sell in EU due to legalities - sad. My first bike at 15 in 1965 was a used Honda 250 scrambler. From then on I’ve owned many Hondas as well as other brands, but that CBX was a super standout, one of my most memorable bikes, I loved the fact I could break the 55mph US national speed limit in first gear at 60mph. That thing had so much power for its day, and those 6 cyl’s, 6 carb’s, 6 exhaust pipes and 24 valves were just beautiful and very reliable, always in sync. Also amazing is how well balanced it was at very slow parking lot speed. Another one I truly kick myself for selling.

What a great job. It is so good to see how professional are you working. A masterpiece

Simplesmente incrível

awsome bro

From salvage, to salvation . Bravo !

Love your video bike is beautiful can't wait for more videos keep up the great work bud 👍 🤜🤜

Very good videos, i'm a fan of CBX bike. I had a CBX 1980 so...

I almost cried looking at that mountain of motorcycles. What a waste! I can recognise some Hondas; some Yamahas and a Suzuki or two. Conversely I guess; it could be seen as a mountain of spare parts. I’m lucky enough to have been able to import and own an “A” model; and almost every day it’s a pleasure to walk into my garage and admire it. I’ve really enjoyed your series on the restoration of this lovely lady. You do such a wonderful job.

Time and effort plus sheer dedication shown to put this he'll of a machine together is just unbelievable. You are just great. Each time I see theses part by part restoration videos it brings a huge smile on my face. I am from India and love these huge bikes from the late 70's and 80's. Thanks a ton for posting these memorable videos.

I'm going to check your past videos and see how you got the engine back to new looking condition. That's challenging to do.

Wow just saw this last video on the CBX. You do some awesome work sir. The only thing I don't like is that it's not in my garage. Carry on.

Happy Wednesday Digital Pizza! There is a reproduction, injected molded headlamp bucket for $265 + shipping on Ebay. I scored a NOS piece for $60 on Ebay and I still can't believe it. Those old buckets are so brittle yet that original black shine is deep! Beautiful bike.

WOW!

Welcome back Peter been waiting for you for a while 😂 I actually have your playlist saved to my favorites. So sad all those cool bikes were in that pile. I remember putting my carbs on and I had to use a heat gun for the cards to seat on the rubber bushings. Comstar wheels are much better than the ugly wheels that were on it.

Hey thank you very much for an excellent series. I only recently discovered your site and had to watch it when it was on the legendary CBX. I have always desired a CBX from when they first came out but was never lucky enough to find one. I was interested to know how you pre-lubed the pistons and rings for the first start as if I recall you used CRC on them during assembly. I did not see any smoke when it fired and cleared it's throat. I would love to see a similar series on a Japanese two stroke of the day, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha it would make little difference. I have a Suzuki GT750 water cooled two stroke triple I have just started restoring and something like that would be terrific. Good on you. I'm sure you enjoyed the restoration. I did

Hi have you done a segment on tuning the carbys with the gauges how to do it all re peter

your restro is out of this world it must have cost a bomb for all the NOS parts super job I could hear a clutch clatter . I had to sell my cbx last year it just got too heavy for me .uk cbxz .

Hi!, wonderfull works!, I thanking you for saving those Bikes. A question: what means “NOS parts”, I tried some internet searchs about, but it only shows nitrous oxide systems kits resoults…😅

What an amazing job. How long did it take you?

My old stomping grounds…..wonder if Cycle Center is still around…grew up in Newark

The bike looks amazing. I have a 1980 and 1982 CBX that are in good shape but will be doing some work to. A couple of questions please. You mention a video for restoring the ages but I can't find it. Also, what did you use to retape the wiring? I've had bad experience with regular electrical tape as it gets gooey. Thanks!

Man, that Looks like brand new. How did you manage to get so many NOS (New Old Stock) parts for such a Rare Bike? Your local Honda must have had just about enough parts sitting on the shelf to build one from scratch.

Omg that looks so good, paint looks amazing. How’s the second bike you were doing going ? That Blackbird looks great as well, can we have a quick video on that just to look around it, as it looks mint.

Watched since the beginning. I have 3 CBX that are in same conditions as yours prior to rebuilt. So how about the number crunch? Minus NOS parts....care to share costs and time?

I noticed the bike before the restoration had huge pull back handle bars, Ive seen other U.S CBX's with them too, were they the standard bars for U.S bikes??

Hi Peter. Love your videos on CBX restoration. I recently purchased one a few years ago. Quick question - I noticed that the licensed plate frame when you installed the rear fender section was from Fairfield Cycle Center. Later on in the video it was changed to Fremont Cycle center. Why the change in original dealerships. Thanks Dan

I had 1 new in 1980. Just one question...Total cost and man-hours?

👏👏👏👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰👌👌👌🥲🥲🥲❤️❤️❤️…..in other words : I am speechless !!!

Do you sell the bikes you restore, or you collect only? Beautiful piece of work. I love the older 80s bike. I’m a goldwing rider, call sign Hoosier Wing

When are going to finish the CB1100 or have I missed it?

Do you sell the bike?

Ciao a tutti seguo i tuoi restauri già da un po' sto anch'io sistemando una cbx 1000 ma sono arrivato ad un ostacolo per il momento insormontabile cioè i pattini della distribuzione qui in Italia sono introvabili potresti se puoi aiutarmi te ne sarei molto grato ciao e complimenti per il tuo canale mi è di ispirazione e aiuto

do you want to sale ?

What is so incredible is to see you doing it by yourself look like your knowledge is also incredible, where is the pile of junk bikes located?? Maybe I’ll go, find a cbx or a kz1300 . Do you sell bikes??

Is this the CBX that u found a chunk of Ali in the engine and some seed pods or similar? Looks better than new brilliant well worth restoring!
