Absolutely fantastic work from start to finish and love every video you make ! You could make watching paint dry fun and informative! Keep up the hard work and can’t wait to see you start the beast for the first time! All the best 🏍️🫡
@DGMotorcycles I've got a cb500 project that I'm "doing over winter" and done nowt on haha. I've bought new rear shocks, braided lines and hoses but they ain't on haha
@@FatherChristma5 honestly sometimes it’s hard to find the time to crack on. As long as you have it ready for the warm weather 😂 it’s freezing at the minute
1st exhaust for me but , would need to be in the low stubby style position yamaha intended . Top yoke looks superb , did the jet prime switch fit o.k , as i have one on my r6 and quite fancy that top yoke on mine 👍 Good work .
It wasn’t an exact fit, I did have to grind them down a little to fit in there but it’s now very tight so no chance of it fallen out. I think it’s more intended for the original ignition barrel.
Thanks. Yeah I suppose they look more cleaner as they are tucked underneath but I do like a high mounted exhaust on a track bike. it also helps with keeping the bike under the DB limit.
I am currently watching the video, I am at 6:15 in and I'm wondering why you are torqueing down bolts before putting the clipons on. I will keep watching and see what happens! EDIT: LOL
I definitely prefer the look of the brushed steel/hexagon/triangle whatever silencer, rather than the polished one. Much more modern look (chrome is so out of fashion these days!).
Thanks, It’s honestly a fantastic bit of kit. Makes working on bikes so easy specially if you don’t have much room to work with. Couldn’t live without it now 😂
Really enjoying seeing this come together. Sometimes just taking a punt on a salvaged engine works...I was one of the lucky ones on my build. 😉
Thanks, yeah I would have definitely been better off going for a salvaged engine. Glad you got a good one 😀
2nd one for me. Brilliant video again pal. Look forward to your next one. 👌
Thanks 👍🏻
1st one. Looks a lot stealthier.

Thanks for the support it means a lot. Haha I’ll start a painting channel just for you 😂. Honestly so excited to get her fired up
1st one you put on the bike looks so much better got to put that on 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yea, first for me. Well done one an excellent series , im really enjoying it..
Defo the 1st one
Definitely the hex exhaust. Ive got the 300mm one on my bike just need to get the decat for mine now.
Tri oval 100%. Looking great so far. Unlucky on the engine but I bet it's gonna be an absolute beast now
Thanks, yeah I’m Looking forward to giving her a rip gunna a blast 😅

@@DGMotorcycles the CB is gonna be a track toy prob with daytime MOT. I've got a 2019 zx10r krt edition for the nice weather 😁
@@FatherChristma5 i see, you can’t beat a little track toy you’ve got a few months to get her ready for the track. Corr I bet the zx10r is a handful
Danno…Tri-oval…looks more modern…great videos…proud of you!
@@Stealhhisdark Thanks, it’s very spilt so far but yeah the tri-oval is my favourite.
Great video. Definitely the tri-oval for me
Mate you got to turn that kill switch the right way round OCD kicking in 😂
Also the square ish shape exhaust all day
😂 there is a groove so would only fit that way even after I shaved it down a little. I know it’s made my OCD bad enough 😅

Top work mate, that’s one expensive engine!!!
I think the satin finish exhaust suits the bike better, the polished one gives 90s vibes
👍🏻 I agree mate
Deffo the 1st end can for me, too much bother keeping #2 shiny 😉👋
Realy enjoying this series mate 👍 And the exhaust i always think the R6 looks best with a low slung can but that's just my opinion.
Thanks. Yeah I suppose they look more cleaner as they are tucked underneath but I do like a high mounted exhaust on a track bike. it also helps with keeping the bike under the DB limit.
I’d be returning that engine immediately for a full refund, shit go.
Good to see you’re being optimistic about it.
@@spicysimonn I wish I could have, unfortunately I got all the classic sob stories.

Haha rookie mistake 😂
oval one. got a black widow on drz for the money you can't beat it.
@@joshbooth7949 exactly. For a full exhaust they are excellently priced
I definitely prefer the look of the brushed steel/hexagon/triangle whatever silencer, rather than the polished one. Much more modern look (chrome is so out of fashion these days!).
You ought to of put one of your orange gloves over the top yoke nut before you torqued it up, ptfe tape too thin, nitrile glove slightly thicker
That’s a very good shout I never thought about the glove I’ll remember for next time thanks 👍🏻
1st one looks better
Loving the build dude!! Thoughts on the ABBA skylift? Just bought one and it's on the way, gonna be stripping my 1992 cbr race bike
Thanks, It’s honestly a fantastic bit of kit. Makes working on bikes so easy specially if you don’t have much room to work with. Couldn’t live without it now 😂
Which class will you be racing this in?
I don’t race mate so will just be tracks days
1st one
Dan do you want to race my now ❤
I’m always down for a race 😅
