Excellent video and work you did on the Honda bike !!

You are a true back street mechanic hero. The bike looks lovely. I have had 2 CX 500's over the years. Both of which I did a complete engine rebuild . Your method of operation is the same as I have been employing since 1987 . Bin the king and queen seat. And that horrible rack. Thank you for producing this video

loved seeing a bike of my youth being bought back to life - thank you for doing the vid

Had a red 1978 as the only new bike I've ever owned. Loved it. Would love to have another one but so many have been butchered into "cafe racers" :(

After so much good work almost have a crash with incoming cars on road 😂. Thank you anyway for the good video.

The XX500 was a favourite of bike couriers in London in the 80s - there were hundreds of them. A great bike for that job. Back then we used a spray called Plus-Gas on stubborn screws. I presume they are all. JIS screws with a single dot.

Your keeping history alive. Nice job.

good job mate , id have to get a standard seat though

Nice story! I recently bought a 1983 CX500 which has been abandoned since 1992. With only 16,500mls on the clock, the CX was stored in a dry garage. The previous owner had always plans to restore it as it was his very first bike, but he died early. His widow sold the CX to a bike wrecker, but I bought the Honda with deep respect to restore it just like the man planned to do. A CX 500 enthusiast will recondition the engine with new gaskets, check the cam chain tensioner and some more things. I'm going to do the rest, the carburetors are already as good as new again and a couple of parts are bought. My target is to visit a classic bike meeting in May, 2024 with the bike. Greetings from Germany, Michael

What a great looking and sounding CX. Had a Black CX back in the day. I am very jealous. Regards.

You can't beat a good quality clear wax as this protects the metal and the chrome.

Massive nostalgic trip. Thanks. But please get rid of the top box rack! 😁

Ooohh!!! That's what your arm scars were about! Glad you told the story, as I mentionned on a part 1, it was a gnarly scar

Best Bike of the world...❤❤❤

Had a one owner cx for six years used it everyday for work..and sold it for what I paid for it great bike, got a fibreglass seat for it as the old one rusted away in parts of the base from a place near waterloo station that just catered for dispatch riders bikes at the time..had 28 calls when i sold that bike..

Great videos......enjoyed each stage of the restoration. Plain, simple, informative and no nonsense stuff, which I like. Felt a real connection with that wee bike, as I owned one from new back in 1981. Your footage brought back many happy memories, including holidays riding it from my home in Northern Ireland to the South of France, where it never missed a beat. Loved it and have regretted selling it ever since! Keep up the great videos and ride safe.

Not replacing the rubber gaskets & o-rings is an absolute cowboy move!

pleased to see another classic back on the road

Nice toys you have .

Looking good 👌👍

Excellent mate

Bro, that's looking so good! I'm praying that your tank holds out, I had to strip all my paint, weld about 20 pinholes, and then do an epoxy liner to get mine to stop leaking. It's worth it though.

Great job, thoroughly enjoyed the videos, thanks!

Good job - well done!

Well done!!!🤩👍🏻

Good job Bud, sounds great.

Success fantastic job,watching the video I thought you got bit by a dog, hope your neck feels better Cheers 🍻 great job

Wax On, wax Off! 😎🤣

G'day Tim, great video, I'm restoring a CX500 too. How did you get the clear plastic brake reservoir off the brake reservoir body? Did it just pull clear? Awesome job on the bike and videos.

Just brought one to replace a cb400n . Really like the look of them. Is the seagull in the background a runner?

good video but personally i would have fitted a master cylinder rebuild kit and renewed the seals in the front calipers

I didn't see you replace the spring in the oil filter

You have heard the term “all the gear and no idea”but you sir seem to have all the gear in your garage and all the ideas can you give me some more details on that cable lube attachment thingy ? Another gem of a video Tim and I noticed in this one you would have thrown some money at the old girl any idea how much you have spent on her to date ? Great job Tim really enjoying your vids

This motorcycle was perfect. Except it was looking like a washing-machine. But I regret!

Cx 500 great touring bike is it for sale

Your front calipers are upside down, the bleed nippels are supposed to be at the top, and fluid enters the caliper form the lower hole.
