It's been 3 years since I built my CRF500L and I thought it was time I did a little update video (which, if I wasn't so lazy, sould've been done about 2.5 years ago!)

You should get a job from Takahiro Hashigo, Skutty. You've made the bike that Honda should have been making for years.

That's a better exhaust than on most factory designs!

Great build, remember when you first built it, wondering what's the next project ?

Thanks for all the comments guys, it's been a fun build.

The next project(s) are already in the garage - I bought 2 1984 CBX750Fs, I'm going to restore 1 and do a modern cafe racer/streetfighter with the other.

At least that the plan! Currently they are a pair of old frames and 2 non-running engines!
