- After two years of building this bike, we finally take it out for a rip. It still needs some further tuning, but it is an absolute blast. Thank you to everyone for your continued support!

Man this build never fails to impress me. Every week that bike gets closer to running a standing mile and I can't wait to see it. Keep up the good work man!
Awesome! Love the build, some ideas for your crank signal loss
Check your wire routing, if those things go near the coil or leads, can have signal errors, also make sure that you are running resistor spark plugs and caps to limit EMF noise as well.
Nice. We never got a CL175 here in the UK, but we did get the CD175 (sloper, single carb, pressed steel spine frame, no frame loop) at the same time. Tiny and light, they went very well on a single carb. Later we got the CB175/CD175 (vertical cylinders). Engine internals were compatible throughout and you could mix and match. I built a mongrel CD175 in the early 80s recession out of used parts (cheap) with twin carb CB175 head and bits of CB 175 and 200 that was surprisingly quick and did over 50K miles (ran when sold). I learned a lot. What you have done is another level. Thanks for posting.
Onward and upward, man... I cannot wait to see you get this fully ironed out. You are really making me miss my '68 CL175 even more...
That little bike is gorgeous! The engineering is top notch, really makes me want to pull out & reassemble my RD400 drag project again! Love it!
As someone who rode around and owned 2 CD175, I find this hilarious and awesome. Your bonkers, and the world needs more people like you!
Put some street tires on it to get a proper tune. Michelin pilots or something like that. When someone suggested that to Kaplan America and he did it, they were able to squeeze an extra 6 hp out of the bike.
Reminds me of when I started getting the jetting right on my 400F, love watching this come together!
"Not going to go crazy" Aye right, try and stop yourself. I'd say that was two years well spent, lovely job, looked like huge fun. Thanks.
Please be SAFE... You are a wild man🎉
My first full size motorcycle was a 1969 CL175. I miss that old bike still today!! Thanks for Sharing!!
A supercharged small displacement motorcycle is a great idea. What do the manufacturers give us? A supercharged 1000cc. Doh!
Great set up. If you haven't all ready done it. Convert your dip stick into a breather and ad a couple of breathers on motor some where else. Let it breath.
Can’t wait to see you race it
I too have a '68 Cl175. Bought it in 1969 for $500. It has sat collecting dust in the garage for well over 40 years. Keep up the good work.
Are you looking to sell?
Actually didn’t sound too ragged considering it was the first ride and all your mods. Good work man and I’m looking forward to your 1st runs.
Your neighbors will love you after about a week of dialing that in! Great sounding rocket!
Wonderfull!!
Matt Cramer once advised putting a resistor between the + and - lead between the cranksensor and the MicroSquirt.
It helped my build to go beyond 4000 rpm. (140 ohm)
But: my build had a VR cranksensor and yours a Hall sensor.
Anyway: you'll manage this!
It's a good feeling. Can I suggest that you either monitor the fuel pressure with a gauge or perhaps log it if you have an available analog input. Pump limitations, or pressure regulator problems, or other issues can cause fuel pressure to vary. It's not always a catastrophic failure and you could end up chasing lean conditions or worse if there is a problem.
Found this channel about a few months ago. Exciting stuff! Congrats on the first ride and cheers from Finland!
I had to subscribe because I love old Honda motorcycles!!
Nice work, I know the feeling of the first test ride and your first ride was alot smoother than mine. When it comes to losses the signal from the crankshaft sensor check so you don't got some disturbance from the electric or ignition system. In my supercharger Honda the AFR meter not worked properly over 8000 rpm and warned for underpower when I still got over 14V but a capacitor across the 12V power wire solved the problem. I might be so easy that just check over the wiring and move some wire to another place.
Good luck and I looking forward for the next video.
Had me at e85! Its bonkers I love it!
Your channel deserves so many more views and subs
When you’re huge remember me 💯
I feel the same about this guy. I can't believe more people haven't tuned into this build yet. I'd rather watch this than anything grindhard or carsandcameras put out. Building a machine that was already great into something even better.
@@rotax700 exactly, he’s like 2 stroke stuffing but for 4 strokes.
Love the sound of a 360 vertical twin!
Superb quality content
This content deserves 100k subs
Your videos is such an inspiration to me and my bike ventures.
Very cool build. Definitely one of the best motorcycles I've seen. I look forward to your next video.
Awesome first ride!!! Very exciting to follow your progress.
Subscribers come from content, and these builds are great content also including the whole ecu tuning. Looking forward to and great build after this gets dialed
Good work buddy. Love watching your progress. I have a 68 CB175 which I have been modifying for a few years now and it sounds just like yours. Never stops putting a smile on your face every time you hit the red line. Hope you can get it to red line in top gear 😮
Very impressive. This project is so inspiring to me.
Gonna be breaking 50 soon, fingers crossed
Awesome work man. I have been waiting to see an update on this as I have been interested in those superchargers for my 250cc.
its coming together man! enjoy it!
Love what your doing thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I have plans with messing with some efi on future projects. Keep it up.
Hey, I love Your project, I love anything with supercharger that's what makes me Your subscriber 😂 even better with custom EFI 😍 totaly love it. I'm from speeduino world (my project is small 800kg 3cyl car on speeduino with boost coming soon) and I can tell You from what I have seen and heard that electronic noise is big problem with reading sensors correctly, even worse if You use VR sensor not HALL sensor, try to isolate this sensor wires as best as possible, shielded cable whould be nice. Allso use spark plugs with resistors and carbon spark wires (they have resistance as well) I think that stock spark plugs and wires didn't feature any resistance so it makes huge "noise" while runing due to high current spikes. Allso check ECU supply voltage, it may drop at high load (longer injector durations/ ignition dwell + frequency) You may need increase wire gauge 😂 (mainly ground, positive voltage in ECU has very low current going compared to GND). Last thing that comes to my mind is software, in speeduino world we have some software issues from time to time. But it ussualy resolves in next update (last big issue I remeber in one version that my laptop keeps disconnecting while driving) hope it helps You to get to right way 😉 and again, amazing project, love it.
Thats so cool congrats on the progress are you running it at El mirage or bonneville hope to see ya out there its ok you got get some data LETS GO !!!
Congrats 🎉 great project 👍🏾
I have a 1972 cb175 that I truly enjoy riding. I would love to move my brake pedal and gearshifter pedal to the rear like yours. Did you fabricate yours completely from scratch or is this some type of kit? Thanks. By the way- your bike is beyond awesome- it's almost like it's sci-fi but it's really not!!!
Cool build. You probably already figured it out but you were leaking fuel on start up.
sweeet😁
Not sure if you noticed this but you have a fuel leak at one of your AN fittings. you can see it right when you start the bike dripping a few times.
Yep, we took care of it at the track. Good eye! 👍
This bike needs a bin faring. It's a great little project that deserves a gorgeous looking faring.
It's funny you say that. I really love dustbin fairings and have always wanted to do one.
@@vintageironmotorcycles well.... You can go the easy rout with foam carving and take a mold off it with fiberglass.. :) It's like a mini Craig Rod Smith build.
I own a 72 CL175 , it’s a great bike in stock form and punches above its weight ! Looking forward to seeing more of this
@@vintageironmotorcycles ..with dustbin farings, for the high speed parts of braking to not over use/heat the wheelbrakes, think about aero-drag speedbrakes that are hinged from the rear if poppinb up out of the fairing is too risky.
Can you tell me the manufacturer of that clear coat you used on the paint?
Thanks
thats a 360 deg p-twin yes?
Yes
Nobody noticed the fuel fitting dripping when he first fired it up? 😬
We took care of it at the track 👍
1 cylinder??
Have a cb175 .....is this cl with a 360 deg crank?
Yes 👍
Shibby
how much power
exel fueling is week ,you guys are complicated ,fueling = use lambda as you have 1-1 reference vs % change , ?? afr is limited , nice project well done
Maybe this can help you: ua-cam.com/video/8hsXHagFQZQ/v-deo.html
you probably won't heed this advise but from one biker to another you might want to seriously consider taking this video down or at least re-editing it before it gets much more attention, law enforcement has figured out that youtube videos are easy money and they are citing and arresting people based solely on the driving videos they've published. you point blank state "we're building this bike to be a land speed bike so it's not street legal" then you post video of yourself riding it on public roads, if you at least edit out that statement then i'm pretty sure no one will even think twice about it as long as you don't make any confessions or show yourself hauling ass on public roads. Better safe then sorry!!!!
