- How to Build a Scrambler on a Budget Challenge Ep 3 Honda CX500 Street Scrambler / Tracker Build. The engine was running rough, even after rebuilding the carburetors a few times trying to work out why I finally found the problem. :)

I love the Honda comstar wheels, however, slightly disappointed that I can only fit a 120mm wide tire on the CX 500 shaft drive rear wheel.
Drop a comment if you know a way around this I would love to here it.

Any questions just ask :)
What is tyre size
InstaBlaster
You can expand the swing arm , and also you could design it a little add supports to to expand a more..
Just wanted to say thank for making these videos, I thoroughly enjoy watching them. I actually had a really bad motorcycle wreck so I've really enjoyed binge watching these while recovering. I'd say a darker metallic green with brown flat brat style seat or what would be really cool bare metal kind of a brushed aluminum look with a clear over it and brown seat and grips! Thanks again for all the cool videos
Im very grateful for your comments and I really hope you make a fast recovery, I get a lot of enjoyment from comments like this and all the time planing my shots, videoing and editing makes it all worthwhile when I get a comment like this one. :) Im happy you enjoy them. the early ones were done with a cheap camera so the sound and quality has come a long way as you have probably noticed. as long as i get comments like this I will keep sharing every week :)
Get well soon. What bike are you getting next ?
TheYakkis I was on my Ducati Monster 1200s now totaled from the wreck. I need to slow my role on the street, so probably a bmw gs1200 adventure. But I’m going to build either a Yamaha xs650 or a Honda CB750 cafe racer.
Sounds like a plan brother. Sounds like you would really enjoy some track time too. I look forward to watching your cafe racer build on UA-cam . At least post a cheesy walk around when itls done ;)
Dispatched in London on one of these for around 5 years. Couldn't kill it if you tried. Good times. Now I have an MT09 -- light years ahead, but that CX never let down.
Jax that is so cool.
The history of bikes in London is where the cafe racer all begun, hopefully soon I will come visit ace cafe just so I can see it for myself and be where it all started. Yes the Cx has had some small issues but it never stopped working even when I blew a main fuse lol The MT09 would be a massive change
Awesome! I used to have a 82 CX500 great bike lot of great times crossed the country on her!
She sounds great!
If you're gonna run pods, swapping jets to 120/90 is a great start.
Adam McNutt I have some on the way, pods and jets :)
Thank you for the comment brother I appreciate it :)
for the color scheme, go for antraciet grey with a dark green like RAL 6009
Really love this series. It’s my first intro to your channel. Great job. My only question is, do you have control over how many ads play? It’s quite distracting to have one every 30 minutes or so.
Great fun build loving it. Paint wise Honda XR colours Red tank, Blue seat, White frame and black engine
That is very specific brother, Love to see an example if you have one? send me a msg on Cafe RacerGarage FB page If you have one :)
thanks for the comment.
Oh Man! I should have thought to mention those little o-rings in the air screws! I now remember I too had to coax the old ones out of the carb bodies on my CB900. Tricky little buggers to fish out. Also, you have no idea what the sound of that CX running does to me. I'm flooded with memories of my youth when I hear it. The CX500C was my first streetbike at age 16 and the memories are really good. Thanks for that.
Urban Monk TV I can only imagine the memories you must’ve had his bike, it has a very unique sound as well.
Yes I’m so glad I found the problem, it has been bugging me ever since I started this build, People often ask me if I’m going to sell the bikes that I build and my answer is always No, however I have no idea where I’m gonna keep them all lol 😂
Howsit from South Africa! I'm building a scrambler from a CX500 as you are. I want to use the original air box to ensure clean air as this will be used for some riding in the dirt. Looking fwd to seeing your solution on the seat as i'm thinking making the seat easily removable for a little storage space under the seat or for the battery, so please do the seat episode next! Keep up the good work!
The exhaust Ep. will need to come next but The seat build shouldn't be to far away, Thank you for the comment Brett :)
An LED bar would look great on the front with a number plate. To fit that off road look that the scramblers are known for
1. Matt dark green with brown seat
2. Matt black with dark red seat
3. Matt petrol blue with light brown. Carry on bro!
Stergio Srts I like all of those ideas 🤔
Thank you for the tips, keep them coming :)
great content! i love the scrambler idea retro build with comfy seat and handbars unlike the cafes
Thank you mate, I'm glad you like the content and this build :) Ive got loads more to come...
Great job finding all those little problems. thanks for the video, Gus
For the head light / front of the bike i suggest a square race number plate with a small led light off center and mount indicators of the forks.
You have some unique taste brother, Loving it :) Thank you for your comment and ideas
Coming along great! One suggestion is to tune it ASAP due to those CV carbs. They work great when working but what may seem like a simple tune issue could lead to needing a new carb or 2. The channel that leads to that idle air screw can build corrosion that could make it all worse even after soaking because it can break loose and completely clog the port. Especially if the bike has set up for a long time, which your looks like it has. This happened to my gl project. I ended up upgrading my carbs and intakes. Also, I actually left out the small metal washer on my adjustment screws at one point! Lol! I still have mine if you want them. The left carb worked fine. Also if you don't have a color tune get one. Great for figuring those issues out...
Thank you for all the tips, I must of missed this comment until now, I reply to every comment however sometimes the UA-cam system is unreliable and doesn't notify us of every comment... You left me a great helpful comment tho :)
Great work man
i always do low budget bikes coz i am a cheapskate
Wow, great job!! Bike is very cool.
Off road Led lights i have a square one on my bike needs 2 for sure.
You can expand the swing arm , and also you could design it a little add supports to to expand a more
It's fun to watch you work on these bikes, can't wait to watch the others.
Thank you mate, I enjoy sharing the build process Im glad you are enjoying the videos so far
I like my coffee ground so fine you could chop a line and snort it. Thanks for the great video
That's one way to get a caffeine fix lol not sure I want to try it tho haha. Thank you for your nice comment, you are the only one that commented on the coffee intro so far :) sometimes I put little things in my videos just to see if I get any comments :)
Awesome build, can’t wait to see how this will turn out. As for color maybe white with Honda blue and red stripes kinda like Africa twin color scheme
Cool idea thank you , I do like blue
Try using a rear CX650 wheel and get a bigger tire for that and bigger headlight black glass cover with a gas mask with the single filter to one side ‘seen it once before it looks mad !
That bike was badged as the GL500 In the UK. I only sold mine after I test road a bike with brakes that worked!
Great vid man your going through what we all do but your handling it well, stay calm .
We are always learning and I love to share the process so that I can help others :) Thanks for the nice comment brother
I am late to the party,but kudos..I enjoyed the build..1 thing...I run and buy lots of older heavy equipment/old trucks...ALWAYS drain all old fuel FIRST before start something..save yourself the headache.
Thank you mate great tip
Coming along nicely, all the time lapse's reminded me of a BMCO video.
Yeah I guess It kind of does in a way lol :) I try and cut out all the crap in my videos and keep only the stuff you want to see. Hope you enjoy them, thank you for the kind comments and support again my friend I look forward the the amazing comments I get
Could you recomend any video editing program? I would prefer free ware if there is any that works well. Ive been following you for a while, great videos. Keep it up!
I sure can brother 👍I use IMovie, it's free and relatively easy to use. you will get a lot more options and tools with some of the bigger programs but that will only confuse you if you are starting out.
Looks awesome with the new tyres, they suit the bike really well. Love the progress on this build.
Thank you Matthew, glad you like them because I know I do, I will need to start back on the CB750 soon so but I will keep sharing both builds with you :)
Atmospheric video.
I really liked it
@CafeRacerGerage Heidenau Tyres are very good. The tyres are produced in a naibour city from my home. Grüße aus Deutschland.
LangTuning Leonard I didn’t know that, thank you for the information I love this kind of information:)
Nice work! Good looking rims. I think the tires look ok as is... at least leave em for now until the rest gets built
You are right and thank you, I'm happy with the progress of it thus far, exhaust is next i think
Appreciate your videos and the time you take outside of building to share your experiences. Big fan, became a subscriber from watching Classic Octane
Tyler is a cool guy, I have one of his classic octane shirts and gave him a shout out on my channel :)
Love the channel just a shame I didn’t get onto it sooner considering this is a type of build I would love to try, I’m kind of in the same boat as old mate injured and binge watching. I like the idea of the brown seat with light coloured tank like orange or teal with the old Honda wing decals, other then that you do what you think looks good and you can’t go wrong :)
Thank you mate, its really cool to know that you enjoy my videos and binge-watching them. I do my best to keep them fun to watch, thank you for the ideas and inspiring comment, I always love reading the comments and will always reply :)
Have an amazing day
You will like the gearing better with the 18 inch rear. It doesn't gear it up a lot but does make a noticeable difference on a bike that is geared quite low like the CX and GL500's are.
Thank you mate I can't wait to finish it so I can ride it
You got a good thing going there Mate!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Just got home from a ride on my GL500 to see this in my feed. You’re doing a great job man! Keep it up!
tiexgrr thank you mate. Sooooooo many more video to come :) glad you still enjoy them mate
Mate u goda do what ya goda do a ur rite , slang a ,Australia is watching
i love that you didn't bother to take the grass clipping off a lot of the parts before filming lol
Justin Brown keeping it raw and realistic lol 😂
If you do a brown seat then shoot for a yellow ish goldish burnt orange ish tank color. Rust color ish maybe?? Burnt orange w/ rust ish color swirls?
À quite big yellow headlight with a metal grid/protector in front, for the turn signals I would have gone for ones that look like the Harley ones , I think the best tank colour would be a beige/ creamy mat colour or brushed aluminium in a more old school/rustic look. it would also fit great with a dark brown leather flat seat, great video man I love this build, I m thinking abaout making a 125 scrambler myself, keep up the great work, please forgive my English it s not my mother tongue.
Cheers from France
Your English is perfectly fine, I think you underestimate how good your writing is, I love your ideas and help my brother, I definitely think you should start the 125 Project :)
Votre anglais est parfaitement bien, je pense que vous sous-estimez la qualité de votre écriture, j'aime vos idées et aider mon frère, je pense vraiment que vous devriez commencer le projet 125 :)
Cafe Racer Garage ahaha thanks for the compliment 😋 don’t bother translating I understand better than I talk but thanks and by the way, what paint are you using for the rims (brand, Colorado name)? And what’s the name of the feeling good remix in the intro? It’s lit
Good job I have a cx 500 giving good ideas I love my bike and yours better
Thank you mate I’m glad I’m able to help you through my videos
Colour choice... on bikepoint thre a ‘73 XL175 in I guess a Jaffa Orange, ok Kwaka 9 colour, with black striping. Maybe then spray the Honda badges matt black like your wheels? Brown seat & brown hand grips?... I like the way you’re heading! Oops! I reckon I’m a year late!🤪🤪🤪🤣
Man, I'm very glad I found your channel! Keep up the good work, mate, you're amazing!
Thank you so much for the nice comment, you just made my day! New videos every week to keep you inspired, Are you building a bike at the moment?
@@CafeRacerGarage I am not at the moment, but damn I wish so bad I do. Maybe in few years (after I get a garage or something) I'd like to start with a CX500, that v-twin just sounds absolutely amazing.
It normally comes down to time, space, money or knowledge and I hope my videos are helping with that last one
Looking better already.
Oh, and the intro for this video is badass
TheYakkis thank you mate, :) I just try and think outside the box so my videos are unique and fun to watch
For the headlight, I've always liked the dual headlight. Maybe yellow lenses?
Thats a cool idea, I will look into it :)
Going the cheapo tyre option........nice!
Watching to get ideas 😊😊
Blue or red or any candy colors, Australia is watching
Good one mate 👍
Cant wait for the next video 😃
Another great video mate. Looking great.
thank you Sean, you are always so kind in the comments :)
Damn i love this budget project so much. Think im gonna go buy some sanders, it seems usefreankingful. hope my comment keep you going.
Is that just a wire brush on the end of the drill you are using to shine and clean all the aluminum? Or is it brass? Awesome build thanks!
stunning video and work , txs for sharing
D3Sshooter thank you brother. I’m always learning to try and get better and better
Great videos, who was the guy that did the photo shop tutorials. Cheers
Do the tank like the triumph rocket x its brushed steel than taped of srayed black. After it dry's take the tape of and do a few coats of clear coat i think ik would look very rad😍
very cool idea, I went looking on google but couldn't find an exact image of what you are talking about, if you have the url to a website that has exactly what you are saying Id love to see it :) you are welcome to paste the URL here

sander pannekoek this idea is very cool 😎 thank you 😊
Cafe Racer Garage haha hope i will see some progress and a badass tank disigne🤗💪
I used to love the cx500, riders at the time said it looked like a dung beetle. Honda trying to outdo the guzzi v50. Great choice for a scrambler.
Holly Ibbotson cx was a lil heave but ran great water coooled shaft drivin reliable seems like a good platform to work from distinct look
@@judgejimbobrowntown7600 I remember the cx as being very popular with couriers in the 80s, because they were cheap and reliable.
Try some redex mate just two cap fulls should sort that fuel problem out
Awesome build...I'm currently starting a 81 cx500 and noticed you went with the 18" rear comstar. Can you let me know what bike model/year that came off of? Having a terribletime finding suitable tires for the 16" but I can find the 18" rim like you did. Any help is greatly appreciated.
U little ripa ,chicks love custom bikes, Australia is watching
Love those tires!
Good Job 😃👍 Regards Alex from Germany ✔
So don't discount the narrower tire, the wider tire may look nicer however it does not mean it will handle better. Also I vote for a satin or flat black with an electric metallic blue accents of some sort. Just a thought. Ride safe man!
You have some nice taste :) I like your idea and yes the tyre will stay for now but just looking at different options if any :)
I have a 79 cm 400 Honda and a few if not alot of my bike parts looks identical to your bike minus the engine of course. My question is are there wires run through the bars because I want to change my buckhorn bars to scrambler or dirt bike ones similar to yours and wonder how difficult the switch will be?
I like your way
Good one buddy Shane uk 🇬🇧
If you're not doing anything with suspension or power, leave the 120s... A shorty guard or something might make it look a little meaner?
Danny Neill great point 👍 I have a plan in my head but it changes as my creative mind takes over lol 😂 thanks for the comment brother
Looks awesome!! Are you still doing your other build?
Thank you brother, yeah Im still working on the other one, swapping between the two to keep everyone happy. what build is your favourite?
Boa noite amigo não sei como vim para no seu canal mas uma coisa te falo mas um escrito no seu canal e parabéns pelo lindo conteúdo ! Quando vi o nome do seu canal pensei nossa mas um canal Brasil kkkk gostei no mone do canal e bem brasileiro fique com Deus e parabéns !!!
Powdercoating is N OT that durable. I have had powdercoated dirtbike frames that chip and scratch about as easily as paint does so I would never waste the money on powdwercoat....
Just like everything else, not all powder coats and not all powder coaters are created equal. A properly applied, high quality powder coat is much more durable to mechanical abrasion than most paint finishes. A cheap, poorly applied, thin powder coat not so much...
Dude! Do a emerald green tank with a brown seat that matches the handlebar grips!
I can't believe you said that, That's almost exactly what I was planning on doing :) Great minds
That's the colors of my project.
Oh and yellow headlight with grill.
can you do something with the bajaj v15 ....i think it deserves something good!
Hello, fantastic build. What rear fender did you use? Thanks
I used the original one, have you watched the video I did on it?
Can you just change a seat without having to go through cutting and welding? Aren’t there any bolt-on seats on the market?
Well. My rear tire from the factory was 3.50/18, I don't really know, which size was acceptable for my rim. Just for an experiment I used 4.0/18 and It works just great.
In my opinion, in your case, increasing tire for 5 mil. each side doesn't sound dangerous. Like what can go wrong? If it sits correctly on a rim and holds the correct tire pressure, I don't think that something could happen. Especially tubeless tires are quite tough on the sides. Also depends where did you get these safe numbers. If they were from a manual, than I think it's almost 100% safe to use thicker tires, cause numbers from manual are always "too safe" and quite far from numbers when something can happen. But if it was in someone's experience, and he had some real problems with a thicker tire in real life, than its 100% not safe. But again, it's just my thoughts.
The best way to understand which headlamp is better is just to install one lamp than the other and compare. Maybe if you want to make an aggressive scrambler you can install two small lamps with grilles, one above other and move them aside from a center with a square metal plate with a motorcycle racing number in a center.
And about the speedometer, I've got a picture of one, but unfortunately I can't attach pics here.
Thank you mate. I'm not sure what wheel you have on your bike, However, The CX 500 Maximum Width of the comstars Is 2.15 and 2.50 for the 16". The tires I'm using require tubes but I do understand what you're saying And I appreciate your ideas on the tires and the headline and also the speedometer If you wish to send any photos you can send A personal message on Cafe racer Garage FB page :)
There are 25.4mm per inch, so a 120 is roughly equal to 4.75 inches, with a 130 equal to 5.1 inches.
Putting to wide of a tire on a wheel can result in popping the bead while riding. It can appear to mount up and hold pressure when static, but go into a corner to hot and it can be disastrous. However, where that safety limit is I do not know.
ChaoticDetour Very well said, I’m not 100 % sureOn all the specs to do with tires and wheels sizes however my research has shown that 120 mm on 2 .15 rim is Max, thanks for the comment brother 😊
If I were close, I would only look at your business
What brand of tires are those? I couldn’t catch it. I’m building a CX and in the process of vlogging it to UA-cam too!
Try to make a seat that works with the existing frame with zero to little modification of the frame itself!
Great Idea and the minimal I will do to this one is a hoop welded to the back of the subframe just to mount the seat to and make it strong :) Thanks for the great comment my friend
Hello I watch this video ...and I have also classic bike ..can I also built like thiss? Give me idea??
I noticed you have the front tire on backwards, back tire is good.
Be cool to re-create the exhaust to locate it up high like a HARLEY xr1200 dirt tracker. Good choice of bikes to build. Cool looking engine. The turbo 650cc would of been super cool.
Hi Dan- another great video from you. The wheels and tires look great, Mate! How about mostly black with some lipstick red highlights? Not sure you can find red leather for a seat cover, but wow, wouldn’t that be awesome? Cheers... and have a great week ahead.
🏍👍🏍
Gary A That is some seriously Cool colour choices, I love your ideas 😁
Cafe Racer Garage 😎
Was this bike registered the whole time you were working on it??
Hey Dan! First of all thumbs up - really like your channel and the way you explain your way of doing things! One quick question, as I’m in the process of doing a pretty similar project with a smallframe Guzzi from early 80s: what is the specific model of these Heidenau tires you’re using? I really like the style and would like to use them too. Thanks in advance mate and keep up the great work!
tonirockyhorror1 thank you brother that means a lot :) a lot of behind the scenes stuff goes into my videos and I’m happy they are helping you
Heidenau K60 are the tyre I am using
Cafe Racer Garage thanks mate, brilliant! Unfortunately K60 doesn’t come in the dimensions I’d need... so maybe I’ll go for the K37 or even Continental TKC80. You even inspired me to custom-make my seat from fiber as you did - let’s see what happens! 😂 one last thing: do you happen to have any experience with headway LiFePo4 cells as a replacement for a regular battery? I want everything to fit into and under the seat and hump... cheers!
@@tonirockyhorror1 check out Avon Trailriders
Watched all of your videos concerning this particular redo, very cool anyway I'm going to start my own soon and just have a couple of questions for you, I'm doing mine from the ground up thinking of buying a xl1200 sportster frame wondering about the best engine Cheap single are twin and will foriegn bike parts work with this particular frame Thanks
Thank you mate, I'm glad you are enjoying the videos, In regards to your build, I would use the original engine if you can, its a lot easier to do that than start from scratch. If you are asking me this question I'm assuming this is something new you want to tackle and therefore keep it simple for yourself so you can ride it sooner. If you are up for a challenge however, go for it and do some google research on your model of bike and find someone that has done the mods you want to do so you know its posable. I hope that information helps
Where did you get the tires? I have a 1983 cx650 and am doing the same thing to mine.
What type of tires are on the bike??? I have one and don’t know what size to get but I’m looking for ones like yours
I'll start by saying great content keep up the good work, your videos has been really helpfulI
I've got a CX500 project and I'm looking to buy the same tyres, can you pls let me know where you got them from and size of the tyres.
Mannie-P TV thank you mate, I’m glad they are helping you on your project.
Tyres I’m running are Heidenau K60
K60 rear 120/80-18
K60 front 100/90-19
I got them from TeamMoto Honda on the Gold Coast, are you local?
@@CafeRacerGarage Big thanks , you save me a lot of research time.
Im in Sydney.
instagram name ; zop_dundee if you want to look at some pics of the CX project.
how tall shocks can you put in such bike ?
can it actually become some what half decent off road motorcycle, nothing super crazy but just so you dont turn back when hit a gravel or bumpy road or some smoother trails.
ahmed z yes this bike will be great off Road but I won’t try taking it over any jumps, I won’t increase the rear shocks much more than stock unless you know what you are doing, a bike can get unsafe if you change the rake angle to much.
hey mate, I am curious what kind of front end you will use for scrambler bike build you are doing now. I see that quite a few scrambler builds are using R6 forks, I dont know much about bikes but if I had a scrambler I would want to do a bit off-road style riding, get in dirt and ride under rain. =) Do you think the R6 is good for off-road as well? I am curious if you would still use R6 on scrambler if you have no budget constraints.
Hi mate, R6 is not the best for off-road as it doesn't have the travel you need, look for the moto X bikes with slightly longer forks than what is on the bike, be careful not to mess with the fork rake angle or you can make the bike very dangerous to ride
I now that it is late but what you think about 7inch round led headlight?
could still work :)
You got great contents bro! Keep it up :-)
Thanx you my friend, I try and keep it fun to watch but Im always learning new tricks, I hope you are enjoying the new videos im posting

Hello Cafe Racer Garage. Can you tell me how to remove the tire, I also want to change my motorcycle tire. Thank you
Laurence Long You need to flat blade screws like screwdrivers and you need to work around the tire taking one side of the tire off at a time
Stripping the bike first off would've made this build easier..
You should make it a flat track bike
