Great work, Crystal. I can't wait to see what you do with that bike. I think I liked the shape of the original tank better, with the knee indents, but it's hard to know until everything is together. Either way, It'll look good. I thought it was funny that Dan just rolled the bike up to the ultrasonic to do the tops of the carbs rather than taking off the throttle cables. Smart.

Thank you Dave, Yes I didn't need to remove them as they were long enough to reach :) We all have different tastes and I guess that's what makes the bike building industry so amazing, I didn't think I would like this tank that's on it now but I actually really think it works well after looking at the bike for a while with it on.

Hello Dan! Nice one again! About spoked wheels on these Honda wheels. It's quite an easy process actually. Let's see if I can make some sense in writing! The whole wheel is bolted to the hub. Just like brakediscs. Make a ring, like a brakedisc only smaller, with holes in a pattern suited for spokes. Bolt the ring in place and find your rims with fitting spokes. Makes sense? Good luck!

Dan, I've been riding since I was 9 and I cracked 63 this year. I've backed out of the heavy bikes afte a knee replacement and I am in the process of building a Street Tracker from a Yamaha Scorpio. 2007 model with spoked rims and only 7000km on it. A lot of your ideas are very inspiring for making some of the parts and I am looking forward to getting it done for next summer. All things being equal LoL. I think I have gone full circle in my bike career, from a kid putting together a box of parts y uncle gave to me and another set my dad got for me, I built two BSA Bantams, one was complete with lights and the other was a wild beast. with 19" rims, the rear sprocket almost filled the 2/3s of the space. I studied Phil Irvings Tuning for speedand and hand built an expansion chamber for it, figured outmy own air intakes and jetting, followed his guide on the ports and piston work, then crammed it all in a rigid frame cause it was ligher. I used a custom seat from my grandfather (who was an engineer), it was dual seat style but thickly padded and sprung. Needless to say I had a great time, and when I got my licence I used the other one on the road till I could afford bigger and faster. I've had Jap, Euro, Italian and British road and dirt bikes up to 1800cc. I have done some mild custom work at times, but 30 years in the Army does not give you that much freedom, so riding was most important. Now, with your help, my retirement project is formed in my head, I see the goal, I just need to have the body willing to play the same game and not be in surgery as much hehe! I hope Crystal enjoys her custom bike and continues to do something to personalise it to her own saisfaction. Thank you for a great channel!

When we build a bike for my sister she did some work herself, we started with a Yamaha FZR Exup 1000 from 1990 that I bought for parts. The bike had a good engine but no fairing or dashboard, dented tank and ripped seat. I have a huge stock pile of parts for those, bought all the parts they had from two dealers in Holland and one in Belgium where we live, owning seven FZR Exup bikes myself. Took the bike for here completely apart to the naked frame and than rebuild it with all new bearings, brake pads, gaskets for the carbs (not the engine that when away to a dealer) Had the tank sprayed in white (three tanks in one go) the rest we painted our-self with rattle cans in white. When the bike was finished it went to the dealer for the valve clearance and setting the carbs. I don't have the balance set for that and those shims are not cheap, the bike was lowered by us, we made the links for the rear our-self. Nicole really likes the bike and every time we talk of replacing it she says no.

A good way to use less fluids and degreasers in the Ultrasonic cleaner is to have the tub filled with water and then putting your carb or whatever you're cleaning into a plastic or glass jar and put the solvent in there. That way you don't need to clean the whole ultrasonic cleaner tub👌

Had no idea the cb400 had such a good looking engine! 😲 The exhaust turned out great! What paint did you use? I'm looking at repainting the exhaust on my new to me xl600r soon. Also what ultrasonic is that? And what size? Was considering getting a 6L ultrasonic off eBay since I keep finding myself with new projects that need carb cleaning 😬

I don't recommend paint on the exhaust, in fact, we decided to send the exhaust off to 74 Works to have him cerakote it. The paint was the cheaper option however it won't last as long so she decided to pay to get it ceramic coated, My ultrasonic cleaner is here ebay.us/jcHdk2 I recommend getting the biggest one you can afford.

Its not a CX tank as I have that tank however you are right it does look like a CX tank doesn’t it. I thought the same thing when I saw it for the first time.

We do like the exhaust that is on it so might look at a custom one at a later date :)

The fuel tank looks sweet on that bike, but I'd be a bit concerned about capacity in such a big country. So is there any way, or where, to add extra fuel capacity on such a machine?
