Building a race bike on a BUDGET - Part 3

I finally completed the CB500 race bike build just a handful of days before my first race outing on the bike.

In this video you'll see it finally transform into it's final state along with what it took me to get there.

Downpipes - £90.00 *
Hagon shocks - £80.00 *

The race bike is done and I hope you enjoyed the video. How do you think the racing at Brands Hatch went?

I'm pleased to see you've upgraded from the floor to a pallet. Are you getting more pallets as your channel grows?
Great start to that Brands novice race.

I think I almost made a cameo there when you were stripping it at Brands lol. I thought you did really well for your first race. 😎👍
