Keep up the good work man! You have inspired me to build a CX500/ 650 with the videos you have produced. Got the 500 frame and 650 engine sitting right next to me in the garage right now. I'm in the process of engineering a 90 deg miter gear drive box that puts a chain sprocket on the left side. Going to install a 2012 Triumph Speed Triple single sided swingarm with 190 tire.
@@BrickHouseBuilds Nope, but I was thinking about starting a post on CX500 forums. Right now I'm still gathering the parts to 3D scan, and I have a start to the gearbox design on Solidworks. I will send you a link if i do.
I just do one at a time to keep it all organized as well as preventing any from falling out as I rotate the head around to access the different valve directions.
Well there absolutely should be lol. I'm planning to do some more carb tuning this week but even just seat of the pants feel this is much quicker than a stock 650. Granted it has mikunis and the stainless exhaust but thats the big reason I chose to mess with the heads to tale full advantage

Damn! Are you documenting it anywhere?

That is a whole lot of work there. Again very well documented and looking forward to the moment you fire up that engine. Must sound awesome!
I cant wait! It should sound so beastly!
Looks good brother
Much appreciated 🙏
Proper content you keep putting out much respect!!
Thanks Brian!
@@BrickHouseBuilds you're welcome
thanks for the demo of lapping. any reason you dont put all valves in, lap em and then clean all valves and seats at the same time?

Was there any performance improvement after doing all this work ???
