Honda GL650 Cafe Racer FULL BUILD TIMELAPSE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лис 2021
- The Honda GL650 Cafe Racer Full Build Timelapse is finally here! This Honda GL650 is from the same family as the CX500 but differs in frame design, suspension design, and bodywork shape. If you like CX500s you will like this bike! This time-lapse video was fun to make and I hope you enjoy it! Watch as I take a fully dressed highway cruiser and turn it into a stripped down aggressive apocalypse bike with a blend of styles but 100% fun! This thing is an absolute BLAST to ride and has one of the best exhaust notes I have ever heard!
This bike took me over 3 years to complete as I started on it back in 2018 at my old shop and had to put it on hold soon after I began. That pause lasted until 2021 when I was able to get going on it again but this time with more skills and equipment! The first minute of the video is a slideshow as in 2018 I was not recording since that was before I had created the channel.

Hey guys I hope you enjoyed the video! If this is your first time here be sure to check out the full build playlist for more in-depth views into each component on the bike. In case you didn't know I build bikes professionally and have numerous builds going at all times so again cruise the channel for all the videos on those projects as well. Thanks for watching!
There was a lot of awesome unique fabrication on this build! 👌
man this thing looks perfect !!! very nice job
@@deko1983 many thanks!
Amazing work. I will pay you to find a bike and do a build for me.
@@3crusade Hey thank you. I am no longer taking on any work though
I’m 75% more manly just from watching you do this. Impressive
Hahaha thats a damn good effect! Thank ya
yup..even this music is lit...🎉
@@suchet25 glad you enjoyed that part!
Those of us that have been following have always known you to be an extremely talented builder, BJ. This, however, puts you on the map for having the marketing savvy that will guarantee BHB's continued success. Great work, bravo!
Well that made my day! Thank you so much Butch and thank you again for being such a support for so long!
How beautiful! when I was a child I helped my uncle who was a mechanic. I was in charge of passing the pintof on the board and then I used the spatula to remove the paint from the board. He reformed just like you from scratch! Yamaha 125 DT 180 and honda CB 450..
I'm so happy for you to make this true work of art!!
Thanks Mike glad you enjoyed
Great workmanship, attention to detail, and a complete set of tools really comes a long way. Love the neo-retro styling of this cafe build! Can't wait for the next one
Hey thank you very much! 🙏 I need to finish up my CX500 time-lapse
Man, I love all the little fabrication details and how this bike turned out. Would be cool see some side-by-side before and after shots.
Also, this is a great video edit!
Thanks Paul! Yea I should have at least done 1 before and after transition
This video is a master piece. The job you've made in this bike is just stunning. Every single detail is perfect. Thanks for putting so much effort and share with us your work, I really enjoy every single minute.
Man thank you so much for the kind words 🙏 Very happy you enjoyed it!
That was about the most impressive build I have seen. What a concept. What incredible skills and vision. Congratulations on completing someone most guys wish they could pull off.
Thank you so much James! Ironically I JUST posted this new time-lapse today of a MUCH HIGHER level build that was going the same time as this GL650. Please check it out too.

IT 👏 LOOKS 👏 INCREDIBLE
Some great fabrication skills and the end result is amazing. Keep up the solid work man!
Thank ya good sir! It's a super fun bike to say the least!
Such a beautiful bike, its so nice to be able to see every single step it took, and all the time and attention to detail you took, this bike was definitely loved on!
Thanks Jared, there are still a few things I didn't show but I fell I got most of it in here! My other CX500 build has 5x the work this one does so that video will be nuts!
It's impressive how good he has taste and what he did in this Café Racer! Congratulations and thank you for this work of art!!!
Thanks so much!
I work in tooling a bit and have taken some intro classes for tig welding so I know a LITTLE of what this work entails and your welds are super nice and clean you've obviously done a lot and man is that end product bike ever cool. You must be very proud when you ride it and you deserve to be!
Really enjoyed your video.
I very much appreciate that Matt!
Incredible job!! Fit and finish of everything is amazing!!! The attention to detail kept me engaged throughout the entire video!!! Definitely can't wait for more builds! Keep up the good work!!
Hey thank you very much! I love the details to complete the entire package! Be sure to check out other builds I have on here
I've watched all these episodes of this bike build and it's amazing 👏. Hope to see some more of the gl650 on some adventures. Great work as always.
Thanks Graham! The bike is for sale so likely not many adventures but there are always more bikes
Thank you for being one of the few welders I've seen on youtube to actually wear proper equipment. Too many guys welding with just a mask and a t shirt, or no gloves, or even no mask at all. Skin cancer is a real thing. Thanks for setting a good example.
I could do much better about always having sleeves but I ALWAYS have gloves and full helmet. Thank you though
A Cafe Street Fighter!
I love it... you did a great job on this build. From beginning to end it was well laid out and executed. Congratulations.
Well thank you Scott! Yea it really doesn't fit any one category other than just custom which is cool by me!
First time watching your channel, have to say I'm very impressed. Love to see a simple clean build, nothing over the top. Great job.
Thank you much! I tend to build more understated bikes with a lot of detail.
Yup this channel deserve more subscribers for sure...
Nice work, BJ! It's cool to see the work that goes into a bike like this. Lots of time and skill required 😉
Hey I really appreciate that! This was an interesting project as that time gap early on meant I got back on the bike with a different skillset which drove the build to a better end product.
No bulldust talking and lots of hard work and show how its done. BEAUT.
Well this is a timelapse which is for entertainment. I make educational based videos where I explain in detail how to do everything. Many people value the info
Epic build. The way you executed a vision from start to finish is incredible. Can't believe its the "same" bike!
Well thank you very much!
Normally i am not a cafe' racer type fan, but your personal taste on this is pretty good in regards to color scheme , stance, and proportions . But mainly i have to respect the effort put into this kind of project, not just in imagination, but mechanical aptitude . Well done dude ! :)
I appreciate that thank you!
Its interesting how as soon as you remove the cowlings and bodywork the bike is actually not as large as it seems
Absolutely! So much stuff bolted on that adds to its total exterior dimensions
I love your time lapse videos. What a clean build this was!! Awesome work!
Thanks Martin!
What a primo build. The electrical work had me clapping the entire time. So well done.
Thank ya! If you liked the electrical on this one definitely check out my white cx500 build. Much more tidy!
Well, that is one gorgeous bike right there. Awesome job! And this wrap up video is golden 👌🏻 love your work
Thank you very much! I had a lot of fun with this one and am very happy with how the bike and video turned out!
Hello from Germany
I´m extremely impressed by your skills, especially your steel works. . Oh man, I love the details and the fantastic and cool result of your work on that bike!!!
Greets Paul
I very much appreciate that Paul!
Masterclass in fabrication of old meeting new to end up with something more unique… bravo 👏
Thank you much! If you enjoyed the fabrication on this bike I have 10x the fabrication on my white cx build. Check it out here > ua-cam.com/video/SukkPX7HA1E/v-deo.html
Gifted people like you make it look easy. Your skill sets are way up there. 👍
Well thank you! Definitely not easy but im persistent. Definitely check out my white cx500 build for a serious challenge
Such a great build mate! Film work was also great. I've been slowly customising a CX500 and this will be a go-to vid to see some perfect inspiration. Can I ask?....what is the tank from? and the handlebar controls? ( I love the twin headlights, I'm doing that myself in a slightly different way) You should have Ads on this vid. You deserve to monetise such great workmanship and inspiration. (just not too many....lol) Greetings from 'Built in Bondi', Australia.
Hey Marc thank you! For all of the modifications you can actually see the full build playlist as I document each step as I go. I have a much higher-tier CX500 build playlist on here as well as yet another CX500 scrambler playlist. The tank on this bike is totally stock. For ads, you would have had to see/skip two before it started, then maybe 1 or two during the video. I placed 4 potential ad breaks but most don't need to see them all. I do not overload my videos with ads but they are there.
I'd bet dis dude would weld-tie his shoes if he could.
🤣🤣🤣 New favorite comment ever
One of the best builds i’ve EVER seen. Hats off!
Thank you. My white CX500 build you can see on here blows this one away. This was a budget build with only a few real modifications.
Man, this guy is a genius. He did it all alone (with the back-cap) ! His metal-works, astonishing. I've always wanted to work with and learn from a person this stable and creative. Really Satisfying video man!
Well thank you very much! If you want to learn how I did everything I have dedicated videos on each part of the bike. I go to great detail explaining the whole way
@@BrickHouseBuilds Well, Thank you sir, For sure, i will go over them!
Я даже не представляю, какие эмоции он испытывает, когда едет на этом байке. Каждый болтик перебран своими руками. Это невероятно!)
Thank you. This is actually a very mild custom. You need to watch my white cx500 timelapse as that bike is 10x the quality realistically.
испортили хороший мотоцикл
Awesome craftsmanship. Must admire the details kept in view which ultimately resulted in such masterpiece.
Thanks so much! I like the small subtle details
WOW!! Love the final product and love the attention to detail. Great job, man
Thank you glad you enjoyed!
Its look like rocky's bike you know what i mean if you are indian
Im Indian and i hv no idea wht ur talking about
This is the best Honda GL650 cafe racer I have ever seen, you guys are talented!
Thanks so much. Definitely check out ny white cx500 build as it FAR SURPASSES this bike in quality
This looks amazing. You did an absolutely fantastic job on this.
I very much appreciate that thank you!
I dont know much about motor bikes but I love them. I plan of buying one in Jan 2023.
Thanks for the video.
I wish I could own one like that one.
Spent two years looking for this kind of motorcycle,, timeless, Taylor made piece
Thank you much!
The is nothing more zenful than being alone in your garage and building a bike just for yourself. Much respect.
I agree but this one was for a customer like most the bikes on the channel
Beautiful workmanship and great attention to detail. This came out amazing!
Thank you!
CAN JUST SAY WAS A FANTASTIC JOB DONE, FROM THE FRAME JOB, ELECTRICAL WIRING, BRAKES AND PAINT JOB, MODIFICATION OF HEAD LIGHTS AND THEN THE ENGINE JOB WITH PRECISION TUNING AND A GREAT START UP AND TEST DRIVE, WELL DONE , LOVED THE VIDEO.
Hey I'm very happy you enjoyed the video! Thank you so much! 🤘🤘
What a great looking scoot! Simply amazing!❤
Thank ya!
Fantastic ! Great build, Thanks for sharing this with all of us shed dwellers here in the UK.
Much appreciated Nigel!
Thanks for showing all the neat fab tricks to get the suspension and even the kickstand adjustments. Inspirational video.
Thank you Andrew! Just know all of the stuff you see has a full episode dedicated to it showing in depth how I did everything should you want to know more.
You have that practical vision , of mechanical creativity :) Tig welding is such a wonderful invention. when i was a kid, all we had was stick welding and Brazing.
Thank you!
Amazing work! Awesome skills in all aspects of this build... it's an honor to watch talented individuals like yourself create art!
Thank you so much for the kind words Peter!
You’ve made a top quality video as well as an outstanding custom bike. Your vision and craftsmanship set you apart. Congratulations.
Many thanks 🙏🙏
You did an excellent job on that bike! Great work!
Much appreciated!
One of the most beautiful bike I have ever seen.
Thanks so much!
This is literally the best motorcycle I've ever seen
Thats a high compliment Steven thank you much
What an amazing work of art. Hats off to you, brother.
Thank you very much!
First time here... never leaving! I'm hooked! Great build, awesome editing. 25 minutes felt like 5 minutes. I even watched the wiring! Keep up the great work.
Glad you enjoyed! The time lapses are very short videos on entire builds. I actually have full videos on every step of the build within the playlist
One of the most impressive builds i have seen! Amazing work man!
Thank you! If you like this one check out the white cx build on my channel. Far surpasses this one
@@BrickHouseBuilds For sure... will do!
Fully subbed and here because of watching the KZ restoration,,,,,, rode quite a few CX500s back in the late 80s and have very fond memories of the exhaust note,,,,,,being a fruity burble, The Guzzi Le Mans and the CX 500, 650, 500 and 650 turbos all had an esthetically pleasing sound. I have loved every minute of your rebuild/restorations, You make an old man proud.
The KZ was actually a CB but I'll let that slide 😉 I appreciate the sub and hope you enjoy the videos!
@@BrickHouseBuilds the CB750 Kz was also known as the RC01. Many, mistakenly, think the Kz is a Kawasaki, as in the 900 cc Z 1A
This is the first GL I've seen where someone has effectively worked well with the awkward lines of the GL tank. Sweet!
I appreciate that. This exact detail and upward body line was why I chose the GL and focused on that. I hadn't seen it done and felt it would work
Very nice build. Love seeing someone rebuilding the older bikes !
Thank you Dana! Glad you enjoyed!
This is INSANE, BJ. Great job. You’ve come a long ways.
🙏🙏
This is the nicest "build Bike" I've ever seen on a Honda GL 650! Really nice!!!
Much appreciated! My white CX500 build is far and away above this so you will surely love that one!
Im inlove with this Honda GL650 restoration. Its a looker. Great job!
Thank you! Definitely check out my white cx650 build as its getting done now. Time-lapse video is being edited as we speak!
I feel inspired from this master piece of hard work and true dedication!
Happy it made you feel that way! If you really want a fire lit under you check out my white cx500 build. Puts this one to shame!
This made me appreciate being a human and the time and capability we have in life more. Craftsmanship, effort, passion. Taking things apart and putting them back together as many times as necessary to bring imagination as well as quality and industry standards to fruition. Skillfull and Beautiful this all was.
Amazing how evolved we are and can be. Specifically, Jish and his mastery is inspiring to see throughout this all.
Thank You
Also how beautiful is it to see all the nuanced machines for cutting, cleaning etc. Amazing
Well thank you! Jish is a big influence and motivation for making better videos as his are an experience in themselves.
Man, this project is just awesome, great sense of style you made a breathtaking bike from an oldie… unbelievable work very well done
Thank you much!
What a piece of art! The bike and the video! Super impressed with that wiring harness
Thank you much Ethan!
Your just an artist. This blew my mind.
🙏🙏🙏
Another great build. I’m very impressed with your work. Awesome machine!
Thanks Randal!

I love this bike man, you did a terrific job! Also well done on the production of the video!

Thanks so much!
I’m drooling. My first project is going to be the CX500, but I want to build a GL650 next after seeing the masterpiece you put out. 👏🏼
Well thank you! I have multiple cx500 builds on here. You should definitely check out my white cx build as it is WAY nicer than this bike
@@BrickHouseBuilds Wright on!!
Superbe ! , vous avez monté quoi comme amortisseur ?
Just discovered this beautiful build and excellently produced video. Look forward to viewing more of your creations. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed!
I don’t know why this popped up on my feed, but I’m glad it did. I know it’s an old video, but man, that’s some solid work. I always liked them old 650’s. Thank you for making this video!!
Thank ya David! Glad you enjoyed it! I have many other videos on this bike and more so I promise I'll have others to keep you busy
Hot damn!!! What a beautiful machine.
It’s awesome that you can take a bike that’s seen better days and transform it into this. I can hear the spirit of the bike saying “I’m back!” lol
Thank you much! If you liked this you will love my white cx500 build. Far more fabrication and quality throughout
Thanks for producing a great video, congratulations, what a result! Can't believe all that wiring. It's a beautiful looking bike now.
Thank you!
Just randomly found your channel. Man… I don’t even ride motorcycles, but this video definitely has me interested.
Very nice work👍💯

Definitely one of the best builds I’ve ever seen …
Well thank you! Check out my white CX500 build as its 10x nicer and more detailed than this bike.
