Six weeks. One bike. A hundred lessons. J Leiva didn’t just build a CX500, he built a story. One of setbacks, breakthroughs, and the kind of support that reminds you you’re never really wrenching alone.
This wasn’t a polished, shop-sponsored build. It was a garage-born, camera-documented grind. A café racer wired with intention, shaped by first-time experiences, and powered by the kind of perseverance that turns vision into ignition.
This is AFTR. Where real riders build real bikes – and every wire, every click, every twist is proof that you don’t need a budget to build something that moves you.

It’s been six straight weeks of work, huge learning curve, some self inflicted set backs, some moments of true inspiration , and so many first time experiences… i was by myself, but not alone. So many people were huge supports – thank you all. This is one of those projects that may never fully close, but it’s a runner… #hondacx500caferacer
