Well I hope everyone enjoys this video as it really hits home as to how much work I put into this bike. For those who don't know this was built for a customer of mine so to those who will ask "how much" or "is it for sale" the short answer is no. I am no longer taking on any customer work so this is one of my last works for someone else. Business aside I am very proud of how this bike turned out and what it provided me with in regards to new skills, testing patience, helping build the channel, providing inspiration for others, the list goes on. If you have any questions on specific parts of the bike please know that there are 60+ other videos on the bike showing each step with all parts linked in the descriptions. Anyway, thank you for watching!
Great job ! Upside down fork is soo cute! I have 2006 cbf 600, but my favorite is cx 500 sport from the 80's /after cb 750 four, of course/ ;) Greetings from Bulgaria!
You are so talented! It shows in everything you do. Design, color, welding, sheet metal, mechanics, fiberglass, filmmaking, editing. And above all, patience and attention to detail. Thank you for the supreme effort, it’s a treat for all of us.
WHY is no motorcycle company producing anything like this when there's obviously crazy amounts of interest and demand. They keep missing the mark year after year. Fantastic design and execution!
@@BrickHouseBuilds For sure. I think a lot of people just don't realize this because they have to have those big ass exhausts with cats that sound bad. Just replace that thing and you're in business!
How does someone so young have skill sets like the ones you obviously possess? This was nothing short of watching a magical transformation happen before our very eyes. Outstanding. Gorgeous result.
Thank you. Its not like skills appear overnight. In just this video you see my progress my welding skills over 3 years. Just keep practicing, making mistakes, and learning. Also im 35 so I have more years than you may think
It's so nice to see such incredible skills used to produce something besides another custom harley cruiser/chopper. There are so many interesting engines out there to build around and styles of bikes to make. This was very refreshing to watch. Very nice work.
I very much appreciate that Jeff! One could say the custom CX scene is even played out so I really wanted a fresh take on this platform hence the colors, lines, and various things
I restored an original cx650 in 1999. Paid $200. What a nightmare but an amazing machine when it was done. The power it had stunned everyone that rode it. So amazing to see a modern restoration build. Looks beyond amazing and the time and dedication you put into it. Awesome job.
Dang thanks so much! The most notable thing power wise on these compared to a 500 is the torque. It is flat as can be. The bike doesn't care what rpm you are at it just pulls! Similar in feel(not power) to an SV650. Thank you though!
I must have looked at close to a thousand videos with bike or car restorations and rebuilds - 99% of them has been more or less disappointing and frustrating, due to lack of skills or shoddy work in general. But this is one of the very few that is a true gem in a pile of cracked rocks! I have not seen a single dirty/unpolished/"it'll-do-half-done"/meh.....piece in this build - I tip my (imaginary) hat to you and your craftsmanship. I wish I was 50 years younger and could start a build like this again - My first fixer-upper was a Honda CB 750-F1 in the 1970s, and my latest, and probably last, was a Suzuki GS1000 G 10 years ago. Your attention to detail made me feel as happy and content as I did when finishing a project with good and satisfying results anytime over the last 50 years or so. Thank you!
Wow, what a build, not to mention this video, editing,drone footage, music, you nailed it.The attention to detail and skill you have is amazing. Watching you rebuild the engine gave me anxiety. The torque of that V- twin when revving it in the stand is cool, that has to feel awesome under you. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Mike! These are so fun when they rev and rock sideways. You can feel that coming out of corners and its part of the character of these bikes for sure
I appreciate this motorcycle more than the crotch rockets. The hours of work was done to this is already priceless. Amazing set of skills well done. I wish most major motorcycle manufacturers will make a classic modern bikes like these.
Superb job - I really like your attention to small details, to me they're what separate a good build from a cobbled-together-frankenbike. Love the result and you've given me a few ideas for my own build. Thanks for posting.
This was a truly epic build…. I tried to decide which bit I like the most, but it was impossible as I loved every part. Particular highlights were the exhaust system, seat tray, rear seat hump but really it’s all good. The drama of the fitting and refitting of the modified tank was nearly heart-breaking. I’d be scared to work out how long this all took, but what a result. Were there times half-way through when you wondered if it would ever be finished? Anyhow, very very good job, BJ you should be proud.
Oh it never felt like it would be done. The fuel tank and a carb issue literally added a year to the build. The fuel tank was my biggest regret even though it looks cool. I appreciate it though as yes so much went into it
Simply an incredible and perfect example of what a Cafe Racer should be. Thankyou for this build timelapse of an impeccable piece of motorcycle purity at it's absolute best. 🏁🏁
Awesome, what a fine mechanic you are ..... priceless ! After 3 CX 500's in the 70's and 80's, I am stunned by the potential of this bike as a café racer. You opened many eyes, thank you for that ! Greetings from the Netherlands, Hans Viveen - Gorinchem.
You Sir definitely knocked this custom CX500 build of yours way way out of the park! These bikes in stock form never grabbed my attention.. but this one, this one is très magnifique😌 And that sound is absolutely an auditory treat! Sweet, when do we get the next one😂 Seriously though great job man👏
The video was a great way to show how much work went into creating this masterpiece and the fact that you did the work yourself! Nice job on the bike and the video!
...i get a thrill putting a hugger and new mirrors on my bike....the skills you have are just wonderful for a full time rider but arm chair mechanic to watch...very well done...
This time lapse is simply AMAZING The amount of work, patience and skill is mind bending truly.. right at the beginning of Covid to boot. 🙌🙏💥 Congratulations on such a beautiful piece of art all made by hand sir. Be proud of yourself, I know many of the Moto community sure are as well. Cheers! Cheers!
I came to the channel when the bike had already its current state , I got to say seeing the whole process in this time laps video it's brilliant , great job .
I think many will feel similar as the channel has grown a ton after the bike was in its current state so many won't realize how long it took. Its a very interesting look back for sure. Glad you enjoyed it!
Another superior custom fabrication built machine. All I can say is WOW! When you first started it up, I was shaking my head right along with you because I was in complete shock about the snappy throttle response it had! If I didn’t know better, hearing that bike coming down the road, I would believe it to be a high dollar Ducati racing bike. I love to watch you as you custom fabricate each piece to produce an amazing work of art. Great job! Thank You for sharing your work. I’m a subscriber now.
Most legit builders won't touch the CX platform due to the massive shaft effect, but damn. You are legit. I build as well and I didn't see any of the typical weaknesses that most YT builders show. Best tracker lines ever on the CX platform. No shortcuts. And mega credit for handling all of the specialty areas in house. TIG fab, wiring, glassing, full motor rebuild, etc. I totally get not taking on customer work, I've avoided building anything that I didn't own. I then sell them in my own time if I feel like it. It keeps the fun in it for me.
Much appreciated James! I'm a builder first and only in the last couple years started doing RUclips so I definitely try to work to a higher level than most who crank out projects in a hurry.
@@BrickHouseBuilds re: builder first, it shows and you can't fake that. Video production values could be raised a little if I were to quibble but that will come. Subbed.
One of the nicest CX builds I've seen in a long time. Q - If someone was looking to have a CX500 custom built similar to this - typically what would it cost? - just a ball park figure. Thanks in advance.
Thank you! I'm sorry but I just don't disclose prices as they vary wildly. I don't even know what other shops charge and I no longer do customer work so any number I'd day would be meaningless
My brother this is nothing short of Amazing. I'm 44 and never seen so much detail go into a build as you have with this one. Hands down the best C build to date! Have you ever thought of building an overhead "gantry" on castor wheels which you could use as a lifting frame to wheel shit around and suspend items in mid air. Makes like a charm.
Thank you much! I'd thought about that but couldn't come up with a good way to make it happen with how the space was used. I'm actually in a new facility now
@@BrickHouseBuilds I see you in a new setup and boy does it look classy. Had a nice turnaround on the opening of it too, so many good people in your circle which is lovely🙏 Keep up the great work and look forwards to seeing future builds👌
Hello from St. Louis. Very inspirational work ! Been a fanboy of the Hayabusa. Currently own 6. In the process of finishing a 78 GS550 brat for my wife. Just a basic amateur build with the motogadget m-unit blue. But after watching tons of videos, I’m inspired to attempt an 81 shaft driven GS1000 with a mono shock. I literally have thousands of questions and am in awe of your customization Wonderfully done my man
hallo hier ein komentar auf deutsch: Eine ganz tolle leistung wie du das motto cafe racer umgesetzt hast. deine maschine gefällt mir sehr gut und auch die qualität deiner arbeit ist hervorragend. du kannst stolz auf dich und deine bike sein !
Mate, another awesome build, I hope you enjoyed doing it as much as I did watching it, you are a gifted person, this should be the way forward for you in your new shop, there is definitely a market for your talents in these one off bikes, 🤙🇬🇧
While clip ons look cool they simply aren't functional for a bike you intend to ride often. A major goal was rider ergos and comfort for this one. Very far from a scrambler lol. Check out this video of an actual CX500 scrambler I just finished: ruclips.net/video/GGxBqS0R-oI/видео.html
That engine was used over here on the Silverwing n CX650 Eurosport..I must say with std pipes they sounded great but I know you youngsters want things loud...Nice build which You Finished to a high standard,Very Well Done..
You have mastered your craft, truly appreciate your vision/ concept, exceptional follow through. Love your shop space, everything ya need, within a few feet. Congratulations on a gorgeous creation. My 94 Honda VFR750 (frame, motor, swing arm)\ Ducati 996 (sub frame, tail section, exhaust) GSXR1000 Front end, BKing (F Fender). The frame and sub frame had to be modified for the degree of rake, steering tab stop points needed relocating. The sub needed a re tab and exhaust was a bit tricky to figure out the best routing. Wish I had filmed its teardown and build out.
@@BrickHouseBuilds no! Thank you for birthing a beautiful thing into this world, it's people like you that keeps the rest of us believing that things are possible with a lot of hard work and dedication
Congratulations this is a very pro build. Personally the colour scheme, particularly the red valve covers,, but maybe they're your client's choice, but literally everything else is at the highest level. Made 60k+miles on my old cx. Wish I still had her... I dream of reaching this standard.
Thank you much! The customer and I spent a lot of time with direction on color but ultimately I drew the tank design to flow from the valve covers. We actually expected the seat to be red until we set some blue fabric there and just loved it. Glad you enjoyed though!
I ride a 2002 cb 500s totally stock Black ⚫️ 14k miles ideal for riding around Irish coast roads. The cafe bike in the video is an incredible custom build. Fantastic Job. Honda needs to sign you up as chief designer, seriously. Modern day Honda bikes are too Transformer, Plastic, Ant 🐜 like, they need to be cool 😎 your bikes are very cool.
I've seen plenty of CX500/650 builds, this is far and away the best I have ever seen! Nice to see the motor getting a refresh, rather than just a coat of paint, and your redesign of the ugly ass-end of the frame is absolutely spot on. Top quality work mate (y)
Very cool to see somebody fabricate on foreign bikes! Only bike fabrication you see is always with Harleys. And I also like the primitive fabrication that you do instead of like these shows that have all this machinery to do stuff for them and all the CNC stuff. Kudos to you for fabricating with minimal machinery and lots of know how.
This is how it is supposed to be done! Nice job. I’ve seen too many nice old bikes being ruined by folks who want to buil a café racer and it comes out reeeaaaal bad.
Thank you! To defend those you speak of we all can't be experts on our first try. My early bikes were not very good by my current standards. We all start somewhere.
Phenomenal. The planning a build of that magnitude must take, even before we consider the impressive skill set displayed leading to your incredible execution. All of which gives a quite stunning result. Kudos sir.
Sorry I'm late to the party. Your builds are so clean and love that another oldtimer saved from the wrecker but not purist restoration destined to collect dust. Subscribed, just a few videos to catch up now!
Absolutely fantastic video, you made that look so easy I would love to do something like that and as for the bike I love it you could make a company doing this full-time making one-off bikes it just looked and sounded fantastic, well-done bro keep it up.
Sweet , very sweet. I'd be a proud chap if I owned this. I was a bit cheeky about one of your earlier builds , so I went looking for more recent work and found this. Well , you nailed it with this one.
Woooow!!!!! 1st of all you made it looks so easy to do.... that's not fair😂😅 you got skills. Great job it looks and sounds great. You made it look like a factory-made.... enjoy your hard work and be safe out there!!!🎉
I had a CX500 new in 1980. It was a bit of an ugly duckling! But you’ve shown you can turn them into a swan! Brilliant achievement on every technical and aesthetic level👌
Thanks for the inspiration with your epic Build. Has me pumped to crack on with my '83 CX650. Thanks for a great video and setting an amazing looking Bar to aspire to
I couldnt stop watching. Thanks for the awesome editing, and that's a great looking finished(?) bike. There's only one problem l can see. I'll never get to have a ride on it.....😊 👌👍🍻
I watched every second for indications of suckage. None detected. Excellent project and camera work. The payoff at the end was crispy and left me wanting more. The hours of editing were spent well. Noice =)
Hi mate just watched all of this build you have got to be one of the best out there your welding and fabrication are of the scale absolutely fantastic what a gift you have and deserve the recognition for your talents all I can say more is mind blowing excellence take care and keep doing what you do 👍👌🔧🔧🔧❤️🏁🏁

Respect on the complete motor teardown, porting, and tuning the VMs. That separates the men from the boys.

So lucky I got to see this bike in person. Absolutely incredible work!

Fantastic! I’m a new subscriber thanks to Ronald’s recommendation. Brilliant work and fabrication.
Welcome! Cool aid is over there...cherry this week!
Finally nice to see someone do a build that actually tore down the motor, cleaned, painted then rebuilt.
Thank ya. Glad you enjoyed
This is by far my favorite build of any motorcycle channel. When I think of getting back on a bike, this is what I dream about.
Thanks so much! That's a high honor 🙏
WHY is no motorcycle company producing anything like this when there's obviously crazy amounts of interest and demand. They keep missing the mark year after year. Fantastic design and execution!
I mean all of them are. Ducati, Yamaha, Triumph, BMW, Kawasaki, Royal Enfield, and more all make various retro themed bikes or cafe racer type models.
Thin seats are uncomfortable as hell and have no room for passengers. I agree the bikes look good but suck to ride
@@okolona1 - a bit like my wife
@@BrickHouseBuilds For sure. I think a lot of people just don't realize this because they have to have those big ass exhausts with cats that sound bad. Just replace that thing and you're in business!
Because half the fun of a cafe racer is building it

This was a truly epic build…. I tried to decide which bit I like the most, but it was impossible as I loved every part.

I really appreciate that! Thank you so much and glad you enjoyed!
Blown away! Well done man, you did a fantastic job! props to you for seeing it through too, that's a LOT of work with no cut corners. Bravo
Thanks so much!
Gotta say, that CX lump never wins awards in the looks department but you sure as hell made a pretty sexy bike there! Well done!
Well thank you much!
I ride a 2002 cb 500s totally stock Black ⚫️ 14k miles ideal for riding around Irish coast roads.
The cafe bike in the video is an incredible custom build.
Fantastic Job.
Honda needs to sign you up as chief designer, seriously.
Modern day Honda bikes are too Transformer, Plastic, Ant 🐜 like, they need to be cool 😎 your bikes are very cool.
Thank ya much!
I'm just surprised the algorithm hasn't pushed this more to the top. Great work.
One can dream! Thank you though
When I saw you rip that motor down all I can say is wow you have a lot of knowledge and skill
Thanks so much!
This bike is better looking than any I've ever seen
Thanks so much! 🤘🤘
I've seen plenty of CX500/650 builds, this is far and away the best I have ever seen! Nice to see the motor getting a refresh, rather than just a coat of paint, and your redesign of the ugly ass-end of the frame is absolutely spot on. Top quality work mate (y)
Thank you so much Stokie! That means a lot 🙏🙏
I had a CX500 back in the day. Was extremely reliable, but it didn’t look like this one !
Amazing job again.
Thank ya Steve!
Very cool to see somebody fabricate on foreign bikes! Only bike fabrication you see is always with Harleys. And I also like the primitive fabrication that you do instead of like these shows that have all this machinery to do stuff for them and all the CNC stuff. Kudos to you for fabricating with minimal machinery and lots of know how.
Oh man you will love my channel then! Thank you
@@BrickHouseBuilds I actually stumbled onto your channel because I have a 1979 Honda cbx I'm restoring.
This is how it is supposed to be done! Nice job. I’ve seen too many nice old bikes being ruined by folks who want to buil a café racer and it comes out reeeaaaal bad.
Thank you! To defend those you speak of we all can't be experts on our first try. My early bikes were not very good by my current standards. We all start somewhere.
@@BrickHouseBuilds you are right about that. But your skillset now is on another level.
Didn't start that way so thank you.
Phenomenal. The planning a build of that magnitude must take, even before we consider the impressive skill set displayed leading to your incredible execution. All of which gives a quite stunning result. Kudos sir.
Thank you Graham! Definitely lots of planning goes into it. Glad you enjoyed!
Your talent and expertise is awesome. We've had both the CX500 and the 650 version and now I wish we had kept the 650.
Thank you!
Sorry I'm late to the party. Your builds are so clean and love that another oldtimer saved from the wrecker but not purist restoration destined to collect dust. Subscribed, just a few videos to catch up now!
Thanks so much Paul!
I daily a cx650. It seems like it's a favorite engine for cafe race builds for some reason.
My deepest respect "young man" for your great work under all aspects. b.r. from Germany 🛠
I appreciate that thank you!
Wow, I mean the attention to detail it’s probably the most impressive thing on an already incredible build. Well done
Thank you so much! I focus hard on the small stuff
WoW So Impresseiv, all this magic WITHOUT machining: no lathe, no milling, pure Magic ! Compliments from Belgium (Europe) !
Thank ya Michel! Luckily now I do have a small lathe which really helps. The shift linkage would have been even better had I had one then
@@BrickHouseBuilds Been trough your chanel Mr Magic !
You're a master in design and mechanics, brilliant show even if you're in the colonies
Glad you enjoyed!
Fantastic modified... and everything perfectly did finished, he is a great bike modification person, Weldone you
Thanks so much!
Absolutely fantastic video, you made that look so easy I would love to do something like that and as for the bike I love it you could make a company doing this full-time making one-off bikes it just looked and sounded fantastic, well-done bro keep it up.
Thank you! This is what I do full time. Brick House Builds is a real business
good to see an old bike have a new lease of life,looks and sounds great.
Thank you much!
BJ, what a fabulous project bike!! I loved the time lapse build and photography, and the music was awesome. You are so talented. Keep it up, BJ!
Many thanks James!
How it should have been built in first place. Big H should bring it back like this. Cracking job matey. 👍
Thank you! I do wonder what a modern CX would look like.
Wow! Awesome build. Awesome, beautiful bike. Super craftmanship. Well done. Stay safe and keep up the good work.
Thank you very much!
I´m very impressed by this conversion. Thanks for charing your video.
All I can really say is wow what an amazing creation you mentioned you are proud of yourself and very deservedly so
Thanks so much! Definitely a proud papa of the bike
I've got it all queued up ready to go!!!! First seconds - love it already!
Sup Mike ;)
🙏 gotta grab the eyeballs!
Sweet , very sweet. I'd be a proud chap if I owned this.
I was a bit cheeky about one of your earlier builds , so I went looking for more recent work and found this.
Well , you nailed it with this one.
Glad you feel this one is an improvement. Like anyone I must start from somewhere but I make sure I always improve
cough cough
The attention to detail is amazing. Watching the engine disassembled was very entertaining
Another gorgeous bike!!!
Thank you much!
You work is mechanical art…beautiful.
@brentbauer8258 thank you 🙏
That my man was a beautiful piece of art , congrats , was absolutely absorbed by the craft of the whole thing !
Well thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Woooow!!!!! 1st of all you made it looks so easy to do.... that's not fair😂😅 you got skills. Great job it looks and sounds great. You made it look like a factory-made.... enjoy your hard work and be safe out there!!!🎉
Thank you so much! The factory made point means a lot as OEM fit/finish is something I strive for
Sir you are truly an automotive artist of the highest quality,love your work.
Well I very much appreciate that Ian! Thank you
You are the genuine article my friend. A truly skilled artist.
I appreciate that very much thank you!
Wiring skills are off the charts! Well done

You are an artist.
THE Da vinci of motorcycles
Bravo

🙏🙏
Sweet build 🤩
Thanks so much!
I had a CX500 new in 1980. It was a bit of an ugly duckling! But you’ve shown you can turn them into a swan! Brilliant achievement on every technical and aesthetic level👌
Well thank you much! Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for the inspiration with your epic Build. Has me pumped to crack on with my '83 CX650. Thanks for a great video and setting an amazing looking Bar to aspire to
Thank you! Glad to be able to provide some inspiration!
Most excellent fabrication skills young man. Truly.
Thanks so much! I pushed my skills on this one
wow!!! i really love this build. super nice!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank ya Dennis
I couldnt stop watching.
Thanks for the awesome editing, and that's a great looking finished(?) bike.
There's only one problem l can see.
I'll never get to have a ride on it.....😊 👌👍🍻
Ha glad you enjoyed! Thank you much!
Really nice fabrication on that subframe and swingarm! Not all that complicated but you had the vision to make it look right!
Simplicity at its finest thank you
From one builder to another excellent job my friend.
Thanks so much man!
just finished a resto myself. not NEARLY as in depth as this, but great work! That bike sounds amazing!!!
Thanks Eric!
Had a few CX500's back in the day but never went round corners like that 😆 brilliant job 👍
Ha! Thank you much!
The whole build was genius but I especially like the shifter linkage 🤙
Thank you much! That linkage was very fun to do and really worked well
I watched every second for indications of suckage. None detected. Excellent project and camera work. The payoff at the end was crispy and left me wanting more. The hours of editing were spent well. Noice =)
None suckage means sucess!!! 🤘🤘 Happy you liked it and thank you!
Congrats on finally completing this build, the detail is really on point and build quality is surely 11/10! Thanks for sharing with all of us!
Thanks so much! I went hard on the details and feel it shows
Hi mate just watched all of this build you have got to be one of the best out there your welding and fabrication are of the scale absolutely fantastic what a gift you have and deserve the recognition for your talents all I can say more is mind blowing excellence take care and keep doing what you do 👍👌🔧🔧🔧❤️🏁🏁
Dang man much appreciated thats very kind! 🤘
Hats off to you. You're crazy TALENTED!! Love your creativity!
