1978 Honda CM185 Scrambler - Full Timelapse Build

Does the thought of wiring a bike make you cringe? Is it holding you back from taking on a build? I used to be the same way. In fact, the first build I ever did sat in my garage for years because the wiring portion made me not want to even begin! Now that I've been doing this for a while, I've made a simple, easy to understand guide for how to wire your motorcycle from scratch, which can be seen @ www.patreon.com/DoctorMotorcycle

Watch me build this non-running CM into a trail worthy Scrambler/Enduro. The finished bike weighed in with gas at 275lbs, and the taller gearing and upgraded carburetor/open exhaust helped it reach a top speed of 80MPH (stock is about 58-59).
