The Honda GL650 Cafe Racer Full Build Timelapse is finally here! This Honda GL650 is from the same family as the CX500 but differs in frame design, suspension design, and bodywork shape. If you like CX500s you will like this bike! This time-lapse video was fun to make and I hope you enjoy it! Watch as I take a fully dressed highway cruiser and turn it into a stripped down aggressive apocalypse bike with a blend of styles but 100% fun! This thing is an absolute BLAST to ride and has one of the best exhaust notes I have ever heard! This bike took me over 3 years to complete as I started on it back in 2018 at my old shop and had to put it on hold soon after I began. That pause lasted until 2021 when I was able to get going on it again but this time with more skills and equipment! The first minute of the video is a slideshow as in 2018 I was not recording since that was before I had created the channel.

In this video I am fixing stripped spark plug threads using a kit from Time Sert. This is a high quality repair that uses a unique insert that locks into the cylinder head from the top and bottom using a specific set of tools. I have never used this kit but decided to try it based on the exact situation of this having a completely ruined set of threads with the potential of not being square to the original sealing surface. This kit has a specific seat cutting tool which provides a fresh new sealing surface for the spark plug crush washer which was very important to me. All in all it was not difficult and I am super happy with the end results. Time-Sert website: http://www.timesert.com/html/sparkplug.html The kit I used in this demonstration is PN# 4412-321 which includes the inserts for an M14 threaded plug. The Back-Tap I showed is another very handy option for thread repair. If the top few threads are stripped this tool aligns itself by the good lower threads and upon backing the tool out you are left with repaired threads up top.

Although the kit used is expensive it is far less so than a replacement head or towing bill due to a lesser repair failing when on the road.

Making A RUNNING Motorcycle Engine Coffee Table!! The Honda GL500 engine display is done and it doesn't get any cooler than this! What started out as a new in the crate GL500 engine from 1981 is now reimagined as a unique display that pays tribute to the original crate by using parts of it as a new base built around a metal frame with wheels. I then gave it a glass top to add some functionality as space is at a premium where this engine is going. With the display complete I decided that I had to take it to the next level and make the engine run in full standalone form! To do this I made some simple wiring harnesses and used a factory throttle housing and kill/start switch for control. A battery, solenoid, and Honda ignition switch were mounted inside the box with coils and spark units being mounted up top. A handmade stainless fuel tank was then fabricated to complete the standalone setup.

Honda CX500 engine still new in the crate! This rare find has never been opened since 1982 and is a real NOS (new old stock) Honda replacement engine for the GL500. Yes I mention CX500 but to simply make the video easier to find as there are many who do not know of the GL series. In this video I give you the quick backstory on the engine and show some clips from inside using my borescope! UPDATE 1/14/2022 The engine has been purchased and you all will be pleased to hear I have been tasked with making a display for it! Videos to come when that happens!
