Video - @AdamFieldss_ (Instagram) On a real note, so relieved this build is over. SO many ups and downs, losing and gaining of interest, but now thats its done the reward feels like no other.

Ive been watching some ASMR camping videos recently and wanted to give it a try. I need to find a way to cancel out wind noice for the insta 360. I have a mic with a wind sock i may try to connect next time and just tie to the selfie stick. Also, ep 10 of the cafe racer build should be out Monday. Haven't uploaded in forever, so wanted to get something out!
CUSTOM CAFE RACER SEAT COWL WOOD/FIBERGLASS - SUZUKI GS500 BUILD EP 9
Переглядів 3,1 тис.Рік тому
One of the last things do for this build is the seat which i have been dreadinggg. I decided to go with wood for the cowl, inspired by @milezero.racers (if you haven't seen his channel go check it out he is a true artisan) and for the base of the seat, which are fiber glassed together. Conceptualizing this has been super difficult, because of the way my seat lock is set up. The seat will be mad...
HOW TO HIDE YOUR BATTERY AND WIRES ON A CAFE RACER
Переглядів 1,9 тис.Рік тому
Since a few of you have been asking, here is a video of my wiring and battery set up. i had to build and weld in a custom tray which has a custom fitting for the battery. Other than that I haven't had to do any other customizations, just moving things around. The battery is a Lithium Ion battery from Shorai. If your looking to build a cafe racer and hide the battery you WILL have to make custom...
PAINTING A GAS TANK AND WHEELS - SUZUKI GS500 CAFE RACER EP. 8
Переглядів 3,9 тис.Рік тому
In this video i painted the wheels, exhaust, triple tree and gas tank. Overall I spent about 100$ on paint and supplies. The paint was used on the rear wheel was a metallic grey and a metallic was used on the front wheel. Both colors were used on a tank and 2x clear coat. Super happy with how everything came out and one step closer to finishing this build. Not going to show all the tedious work...
NEW EXHAUST AND FIRST START OF CUSTOM SUZUKI GS500 CAFE RACER EP 7
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
Bought this exhaust slip on off Amazon and was able to fit it onto the existing exhaust pipe. Came out super sick and sounds great. If you are looking to do something similar be prepared to weld! The new exhaust saved about 15 pounds. The old canister was super heavy and quiet. Also excited to see the bike running again! It took a few tries but it works! I rigged up a bottle of gasoline so i di...

The journey of putting the bike back together finally begins. In this episode i begin putting parts back on the bike so that we I can work on starting it. I still need to buy a good amount of parts as well as paint the wheels and tank so the wont be the "final" product as I am rebuilding. Also huge tip if your ever removing the engine/reinstalling - just remove the case cover. It made things so...

This was the first time getting a frame powder coating so learn from my mistakes! I deff rushed bringing it in and could have cleaned up a bunch of welds, but will be sure to do this on the next one.

PAINTING A MOTORCYCLE ENGINE - CAFE RACER BUILD SUZUKI GS500
Переглядів 2,8 тис.Рік тому
Stoked on how the engine came out for this episode. I think it was a good idea to do the dark grey base layer. I haven't gotten the frame back yet but it should go together really well. For anyone trying to do this - patience is key. It took me about 10-20 hours total. Cleaning is super frustrating but I found wire brushes and micro fiber towels to work best. Paint used was just high heat spray...
CAFE RACER BUILD - MAKING A SEAT FOR MY SUZUKI GS500
Переглядів 1,8 тис.Рік тому
In this episode I attempted to make a seat out of Fiberglass. It was super frustrating and I am not content with how it came out. The lack of uploads is because the seat made me uninterested BUT I put the seat to the side for now so more uploads coming soon!
GS500 CAFE RACER BUILD - FITTING SHORAI BATTERY AND WELDING SEAT HOOP EP. 3
Переглядів 2,3 тис.Рік тому
If your following along this journey just want to say thank you for making it to episode 3! So, I decided to trash the original electrical pan I made due to lack of durability. Also there needs to be a metal crosspiece to support the seat and lock which will be welded on and the original tray would have needed to be cut in half. ANYWAYS, I welded on this new electrical tray as well as the seat ...

In this video I made a pan that will go under the seat to hide all of the harness past the tank. I will be making the seat out of fiberglass, so ill be able to fit it in-between the bottom of the seat and this pan. I also decided on getting a Shorai battery after this video so i will be further adjusting the pan to fit the battery. I've found the wiring harness to be the most difficult part of ...

Honda Shadow Bobber custom build 1997 (Walk Around)
Nice build!!
thank you!
I’m having major problems with my 06 gs500. Not sure if there’s a lack of vacuum or what but I lose all power and rpm shoots up at higher speeds or temperature…. No idea
hm id say grab new sparks, and if not that a carb rebuild kit. carbs are easier than you think to take off and the rebuild kits are pretty straight forward. double check jets are not clogged, and the floats are working correctly. I had a Honda shadow where it was the floats. If none of that may be the gas lines or vacuum leak.
@@jimmybuildsbikes Thanks for the reply. I'll try to rememeber to follow up
I’m not a master welder. But wire speed will either burn it or put too much wire to it. Typically I keep mine in between 3 and 4 on the wire speed. On minimum for the amperage. I’m typically welding thin metals. But thick max and 3 on the wire speed. Also gasless welders are junk. Sure u can weld with them. But gas is where it’s at. Also spot welding with it helps. Couple second on. Couple seconds off. Jump around too. If u see it cherry hot. It’s too hot bud
Yeah i had mine on the same setting. it's a hand me down welder so had to work with what i had. I ended up bringing it to a friend with a gas welder after i got the base welds down. it came out a lot better
Howd you get that hoop?
ebay, but take measurements. they're not all the same size
I've got a 1992 GS500F and I love Youre Bike.
Thank you!
Five star or just F?
@@Snake_PL Just F
Love it. I've got a 07 GS500F that needs this. No time though and I'm no mechanic.
Thank you! Find a way!

What putty did you use to cover the welds?
no putty ended up having a friend touch up the welds after with a tig welder
why would you waste your time chopping the seat it looks like garbage and no room for saddle bags
Your right, saddle bags on a cafe racer would have been fire 😂🔥
What a shame you ruined the stock bike for this!!
This comment 😂
@@supermoto_problems what’s funny about my comment?
@@Bassman1999 that I agree with you
The best GS 500 in the world
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Can I ask you the measurements of the oversized tires and whether they are directly adaptable to the original rim? 5:20
front - 120/70ZR-17 Rear - 160/60ZR-17 directly adaptable yes although my local shop said it took 4 people to get the rear on lol
Masakra popsuł cały motor
You replaced the seat with what is essentially a 2x4?
Nice job
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Building my gs500 this winter but don’t know what tire size to get, what size are you running?
Does the battery charge normally? Let's say the battery run out of juice, can you recharge with a trickle or do you need a special charger?
I’m sure you could but the issue is over charging these with a reg charger can mess it up. I bought the shorai battery tender which is compatible.
@@jimmybuildsbikes thank you
Have u got a link where u get ur battery/ charger?
Where is the Evap vapor charcoal canister?
I have no idea what this is lmao
What website is this bro
Not bad!!!!
Here are some tips that woork for me: - Do the seat and all the dirt stuff before painting - Never remove airbox and all the muffler from a carburated bike (will ruin the performance mostly at high revs) - Never remove completely the fenders Really cool GS BTW :) keep it up!
It sounds cool though LOL thanks 🙏🏻
عمل جيد
next time I can 3d print the backside of the seat
awesome work. so cool to see the process start to finish. Keep up the great content🔥🔥🔥
🙌🙌 Thanks GOAT
Pretty awesome work
thank you 🤝
Excellent work! As you hone you’re skills, you will always come back and see things you’d like to change… Welcome to the Club!
aye thank you 🏍
You Did Your Thing Bro Everything Came Out Fire
Appreciate it brother 💯
What an absolute beauty! Nice work
yooo thanks my guy! Believe you've been here since the beginning too!
@@jimmybuildsbikes yes, I hope, I haven't missed an episode. Do you have another project planned?
@ Goat! i have some ideas. But prob wont be until January-ish. Have a few videos in mind to put out with this bike in the meantime though!
Looking forward to it :)
well done.. im just wrapping up my build.. hoping to have a quality video as well..
Thanks man! Looking forward to seeing your build
now you just need some bar end mirrors.. lol@@jimmybuildsbikes
@@jayarchitect lol foreal I’ve been going back and forth with the 1 I have on my fz09 😂
@@jimmybuildsbikes yeah .. i noticed you upgraded to led lights and a lithium battery.. you will need to upgrade to a MOSFET rectifier bro!
Worth the wait, she sexy
Fuckkkkkk about time
Looks awesome bro
thank you Señor🏁
That looks awesome
Appreciate it!
Looks great! Good job in the end especially as we watched you fight the seat pan and hump. How does she ride with the larger tires?
Thank you my guy! Been here since the start 🫡 I haven’t ridden it too aggressively yet but it does feel good so far. Going to be doing a “first ride” vid and will prob drop that end of September!
esa moto es mi sueño, está genial saludos
Gracias Papi
How much experience did you have working on bikes when you started this project?
Aye thanks man appreciate it! I did a pretty simple Honda Shadow bobber build before this. It's my first video. But this was my first time completely taking a bike apart, doing a lot of custom fab and putting it back together. Just learned as I went.
@@jimmybuildsbikes damn that's awesome bro, keep it up
Followed some progress on Reddit and it turned out amazing! For real you got some talent
Been waiting on this
Worth the wait 🏍
I’m excited to see!!
Thanks for the videos, they are a great inspiration for my GS500 - although we have different regulations here in Germany...
Appreciate it!
That’s amazing dude! You got wood thumb😂
What battery are you using on your GS I'm looking for a smaller battery for my gs cafe racer project
How does it ride on road. Is it quite rough? Looking at maybe doing something like this to mine
Yeah it’s a bit rough but there are seat options with more cushion to make the ride better. Just don’t look as good in my opinion
Nice job though! I think you could add some foam and add a little incline to cover the gap between the tank and the seat. Just enough to cover it! I got the same bike and got my project in process too! Good luck
thank you yeah i plan on doing that eventaully, may redo the whole seat. not sure yet. god luck on yours!
Seats are a bitch, ive done 3 in the past 6 months. I learned like you to hide the seams. Foam is another world too. Getting it comfortable is nearly impossible.
haha agreed
How deep is the pan?
the battery sits about an inch under the top bar of frame and the pan itself is just flush with the lower bar of the frame
@@jimmybuildsbikes thanks man, currently doing my own gs500 project. Your videos are a huge help
@@gvillxtine2773 great to hear thanks! Lmk how it goes
Який розмір задньої резини?
I’m feelin’ you brother. I think you did a good job so far working out the seat. It’s tricky though. (I’m super happy you did this as I now know where things didn’t go as expected - thanks. 😂) Overall I think you did great. Looks cool! And as mentioned probably not all that comfortable - but pretty good for a boot around town. You can always do another one in probably a quarter of the time now. Good job. Looking forward to the reveal.
thanks Keith, haha yeah its deff a huge headache. best of luck with yours, glad you can learn from my mistakes
@@jimmybuildsbikes NOT MISTAKES! These were explorations to find a solution. You should be proud you got to this point on the seat in only two tries. I'd give it one more go just so you don't have that glum sound in your voice. All that work can't be tainted by your being dissatisfied with the seat. Take a look at that GS500 link I sent you before. The guy used a leather ..."cuff" to cover the intersection of the cowl and the seat. That would clean up that part. I don't know what to say about the front of the seat. That seems to be a VERY common issue regardless of the bike model, whether its an old cb750 or our gs500's. shape a wood filler piece ...? Either way, good for you man. Looks dope.
@@keithahlstrom176 haha it’s Lowkey growing on me. Yeah I’ll check it out again, shoutout you!
Looks sick 🔥 love your vids dude
🏍💯
The most important questions: is it comfy?
Hell no 🤣
@@jimmybuildsbikes 😂
Where the seat meets the tank it should replicate the original...that would help cover the gap an may be Slightly more comfortable
I think im going to add a bit of foam just enough to fill that gap
