No matter where you are in your wrenching journey, YouTube can be a great place to find helpful information that can both inspire and set you on the right path toward reaching your goals. That’s one of the reasons we really like channels like Brick House Builds—because it’s a little of both those things. Crucially, BHB also isn’t afraid to show you past mistakes—as well as not being afraid to go back and fix them, once future-you knows better than past-you did.
In this most recent two-part video entry on the BHB channel, we get a look at a Honda CX500 build that was completed about five years ago. Five years is a long time—and if you’ve paid any attention to the BHB channel, you know he’s done (and learned) quite a bit since then. Stuff like this is very much something you learn better by doing, which is why if you keep going, pretty soon you’ll be looking back at your early efforts and probably finding things to cringe at.
