Congrats on the baby. I don't care what anyone says about exhaust tape, it makes any bike look sexy.
Ha hides a lot of the sins on the exhaust
For The Bold - dreegez
LoL
Glad to see you had gloves on this time. Great job as usual!
Ha yeah. Didn’t want to take it into the house
Congratulations to you and your wife on the baby!
Thank you
that colour scheme is great the black with the hints of white then the bold blue its nice
Thank you, better than the grey and orange I had.
That colour looks awesome outside... Can't wait to hear her come to life. Looking great👍
Thanks. Starting to look like a bike
Congratulations on the baby!! Greetings from Spain!
Thanks Spain
Nice to see the GS again in all its glory. I agree there is no right or wrong way of wrapping an exhaust. I suppose that if you wrap it dry all you really need is good gloves..? Have fun riding it!
Looks good! Nice to see your GS550 out in the light. I've been following that one for a couple years. You've also stoked my desire to own a CX500 again and I just grabbed a nice example this past weekend. I need to move it 2000 miles to my home, and then will do a video series on replacing the generator/stator.
Looking good and the whole colour scheme is really starting to show itself now 👍
Thanks 👍
Due to budget I will wrap my leg burner exhaust on the Yamaha enduro. Don't have money for custom exhaust. Will change it later when I fell I can make a decent 2 stroke exhaust. Thanks for putting your time in to make these videos.
Agree with that. Custom exhausts are so you expensive and it takes some skill to fabricate a 2 stroke exhaust
"There obviously gonna be a new bike" made my day
Gold!! Bring on the new projects!!! Cheers from Australia
Thanks
I can’t believe you twisted it that way and not the other...just kidding. 😂 It’s a sad state of affair when you have to preface an exhaust wrapping video. Keep up the great work and glad you keep doing it the way that makes you happy.
Also those are my favorite wheels I’ve seen! I want some of these!
Congrats on the newborn mate! Bike is looking ace 👌 thats the thing with the internet, how ever you do it someone knows better
Thanks mate, ha, yeah, fully prepared for it this time
Getting excited now!!! be awesome to see them on the road, keep up the great work :)
Congrats on the new baby 🎂🎂🎂👶👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️💓💓💓💓
Thank you
I’m a huge fan of the way exhaust tape looks! I’m getting some for my bikes. Ope, did I say Bike(s)🙊
Best time lapse music by far. Some of them are torturous.
Congratulations on the baby, I was looking for childrens bikes before my boy was even born, lol
Love these videos! Just have to mount my battery, and gauges and then my bike is ready to be painted and it’s done
Excellent. Have fun
Congrats! The GS is actually my fave bike of yours. I'm just not a big Honda fan. I ended up selling my Yamaha xs850, and moved on to a 1986 BMW K100rt. I like the last video about mixing the bar end mirrors and bar end signals. I might have to steal that! Lol. ;)
Go for it. I love the look of the K engines.
For The Bold - dreegez I do too. Only thing I don't like is the placement of the side stand means if you eliminate the center stand, something I desperately want to do, you are left with that lean that allows a ton of oil to flow to the head and have smoky start ups. I'm planning a side stand swap to the other side. Sure I'll be the odd man out, but I already am. Ol
Older video but congrats on the baby!
Thanks
Wrapping exhaust great dexterity practice for changing NAPPIES!😷 Congratulations and enjoy, time passes to quickly🚼👍
Ha. True. Plenty of practice
Hi there, sorry I don't know your name.
First I would like to say well done for approaching a build from a not so mechanical view allowing the everyday ordinary Joe like me to feel a bit more confident in even thinking of attempting stuff in the comfort of their garage. Thank you.
Question on the exhaust wrap. Any reason why you don't take the exhaust out? I would like to install a new exhaust end, I think it would look better if the single pipe would be shorter, can I shorten it or would this compromise some kind of rules and regulations? How short can I go? the pipe original lenght is 700mm and I wanted to cut out about 150mm
Hi, i'm from Brasil and like your video! PS: i don't speake english. Haha
Alright mate, just bought a virago and I'm just about done with getting it working before starting to break it down for the cafe build. any words of advice? (it'll also be a series on my channel, so video tips would be appreciated too!!)
Congrats on the Virago, beautiful bikes, some had starter issues but you can fix that up.
Other advice I can give is take your time, enjoy it, and don't listen to other people.
Much appreciated! Trying to fix the starter issue with an extra connection to the negative batt terminal and getting a better ballistic battery, which I've heard helps the gears sync better. Anyways, s always looking forward to more content from you.
My thoughts on wrapping exhaust: Is it completely wrapped? Is it staying? if the answer to both of these is "yes", then it's done correctly.
Ha. Nice way to look at it
Were did you find your "kick up" pipe for your exhaust? I cannot find anything and if I do, it's usually a 51mm inlet. Looked all over Ebay.
I had it fabricated on spec for me.
@@forthebold I found a 38mm stainless steel mandrel bent elbow from The UK on Ebay.That should work. 👍🏻
Got a challenge for you! Engine swap! Frame and an engine that is completely different brand and different cc and years. Would like to see your talents tackle that bro! Bikes look great and congrats on new born!! Great day!
I guess you could go down in engine size but never up on a different frame. I always wanted to put in a 80s cr500 engine into a CRF 450 frame years ago
For The Bold - dreegez yeah it is what I’m in now brother! Had to drop 100cc from 500.
Great video!
How long it took you in total to wrap the exhausts? 1 hour? 2 hours? Thanks!
Looks great. Still debating whether i want to wrap mine or not. Still have the cb to work on huh? Or did i miss something?
I wish I could get a new exhaust for these but to expensive for the GS at the mo. Yup, CB still coming, and a brand new exhaust for that.
I've been interesting on wrapping the exhaust on my bike but have read that I can cause a lot of problems. Is this true?
I've not heard of any performance issues as such, I know they don't preserve a brand new exhaust once you take them off, I only do it if the pipes are ugly
Hey man. Wrap what you want, how you want.
Seems to work. But everyone has their own way
Does the exhaust wrap have any performance merit? or is it purely aesthetic? It's not to my personal taste but I won't fault anyone for having their own preferences. Congrats on the new addition, are we disclosing gender?
I've heard it help keep exhaust gases hot, therefore letting them burn completely and exiting the pipe faster.
Thanks. It’s a boy. People do say it enhances it but I think the difference would be so minimal that it wouldn’t be noticed at all. I use it to hide ugly pipes
I too am curious as to how much wrap you used. I was going to buy 50ft, but feel I may need 100 now haha. I want tight overlaps
30 meters in total. 3 packs of 10m but if I'd have bought longer rolls could have got more out
hi again =) Are you using stainless steel exhaust? Some say wraps hold moisture and damage the exhaust over time.
Yeah they're not going to keep your exhaust like new underneath, I only use them to hide already ugly exhausts.
It does hold moisture, no doubt. I would NEVER wrap an exhaust for a bike parked outdoors and ridden under rain conditions. I would only do it on pipes that will never see the weather elements such as expensive garage queens that rarely see bad weather.
Just a curious question. Isn't it quicker to take those exhaust out and wrap it ?
It would be but I have a freshly pressed set of exhaust gasket rings in place
Oh, okay. Well if you ever think of wrapping it for CB750, you should do to before hand. It's just a suggestion. 🙂
Yeah definitely. Luckily the CB750 has a brand new exhaust. Check out the video on it if you haven’t.
What was the total length of tape required? thanks
James Dimmock most are sold as 30’ or 50’ runs. You can probably get most bikes done with 30’ but some just barely. I’d get 50’
Great job. Will you be colour tuning the cx?
Yeah but I won’t make a video on that.
For The Bold - dreegez oh I'd love to see it bought one for mine but only seen the gs been done. I've got pretty much the same filters as you have. Would you be able to let me know what jets and set up you have just as a little guide. I appreciate it a lot the cx Facebook group is a little hit and miss with these things mostly purists on there. Also congratulations on your new baby my son has been watching all your videos with me and dances to all the music lol he's 15 months.
I soak my exhaust tape in warm water only to stop those shitty little fibers getting stuck into my arms and fingers it doesn't affect the performance of it at all
Good to hear. Be interesting to hear what the manufacturers say also. And yup. Those needles don’t half sting for days
Should get yourself a English wheel and try your hand at making more custom bits for your bikes
I would love one but they’re so expensive
i see you got the gloves out this time my good man . you take the comment section seriously i see
Usually I would go full pain but I didn’t want to take the fibre glass into the house to the baby
that would definitely earn you a seat in hell . congratulations by the way
True. Thanks
Excellent video. If one wanted to contact you with long form questions, would an email be okay to do that?
Yeah that’s fine. I’ll look out for it as they tend not to com directly to me from the site
Cheers!
What does the manufacturer say?
Nothing
😍
Thumbs up for this.
Holly shit dude, the music is absolutely atrocious. Thank you Lord for the mute button. If you said something important....sorry I missed it
Good job it’s not a channel about making music
An entire video dedicated just for an exhaust wrap..?:(.
Congrats on the baby though !
Yup. Is that bad? Seeing as it’s all I can get done this week?
4th
congrats
