As someone who's mechanical ability only goes as far as changing break pads and rotors, im always blown away by people who's mechanical skill and aptitude is surpassed only by their artistic talent. Great job! I really want a cafe racer now lol.
That's really impressive and looked like a massive amount of work. Well done. I'm more of a "buy it when finished" kind of guy. I do find it oddly soothing watching other people work though, so these video's are therapeutic for me. Thanks for uploading. Honda fours make great donor bikes!!
@@banny123456 I can’t do better but damn as soon as I saw it I thought the same if you’re going to create a masterpiece like that make the seat look nice or leave it to a pro
Thanks. Everything but the powder coating I must admit. Even though I like to think that a true shed build must all be done by yourself I am going to cheat on my next build and have the spray painting done by someone else. After I’ve seen the results I just can’t come close.
I'm glad he gave you credit for your idea. I was watching this with my MOTO DNA METER just pegged into the red. When they did the video walk around at the end I thought: with all the concept put into this how the heck did they just leave that big ugly eyesore of a left over riser just laying out there in the wide open? LOL ... then low and behold, I read your idea. NICE CALL!
It’s been left there as to have the option to fit bars back onto it if clip ins aren’t for the rider. If I’d have ground those off like I usually do we’d have had to buy a new yolk
@@forthebold Understood, and making a plate that bridges that gap is pretty ingenious. Plus, you get to keep your stock clamps of course. Seen many clamps that are hollowed out there as well, and as you know you can't really grind those off in those instances. Cool build and a great looking machine brother. Really got me stoked watching your work. Keep it up!
@@StonieQ well good, because it looks like a child did it. It wasn't supposed to look old and used or he would have done it right and then distressed it so it looked right...... not like someone just gave up and could fold leather. Nice try.
@@johnmichaels4330 well I think he was going for a real look for it. Cafe racers aren’t supposed to be nice looking, they just need to perform. And yeah I would have done it differently.
@@StonieQ all the rest of the bike looked spot on. Just seems strange to stop at the seat. Would have been about 30 more minutes to make that look great.
Awesome build! And great timelapse! I know how filming a project adds a whole lot more time to it, but it's definitely worth it. Also I love your cafe style seat, everything about it, the exposed metal cowl, the leather jacket used for the pad, the proportions.. a seat really changes the look and feel of a bike, and your seat totally nails it. It's like the cherry on top lol.
I'm going to be perfectly honest with you. I'm amazed by the bike. It looks outstanding. The tank isn't to my taste but its a great job. The one criticism I have is the seat. Its the one thing letting the bike down in my opinion. I know it's easy for me to sit here and criticise as I couldn't even come close to what you have achieved but nonetheless that seat needs some work. Otherwise a fantastic project that has been a joy to watch!
I think it suits it that it's a little on the not perfect side, as though it's seen a few arses and a few campaigns, at the beginning of the vid he describes wanting the bike to show a mix of battle scars and pride from 79 to the present day, it's the bike itself that's the warrior, it's been on the road for 40 years and still gets looks, it's probably older than most guys watching the vid. (But not me) Anyway, it works for me. Just sayin, ;-)
I bought a 95 Nighthawk to build Into a cafe bike, but someone before me had made this thing into a scrambler. It's so much fun to ride i couldn't change it, so I'm looking for another to build lol. Great bike yall built, that thing is spectacular.
@@forthebold Those are the people that do not understand classic bikes. They go an buy new bike. Leaves the old ones for us to restore. Great work. Question: Where did you get the speedo? Does it have a tach? How does it measure the speed? Magnet on the front wheel? How does it measure the RPMs? Also, what are the WARRIOR letters made of? vinyl? Where did you get it from?
I'm not even gonna praise the work that went into the motor, chassis and stuff, I just love what you did with the seat though (although I would've went with a 1.5/2 seat set up) the work you put in making that jacket fit just blew my mind... My life project is turning a GSX 750 or a CBR 600 into a cafe racer LOL! Keep up the good work guys!!
Awesome bike build it looks beautiful, how does she ride and handle, I would love to do something like this as well but probably not as full-blown as you went. Great job!
What you doing here so inspired me.. i have one cbx 750.. i buy it from auction, here we call that bike 'white horse'.. actually our police traffic using this bike since 80s - 2000.. one day i want built my bike exactly like this.. wish me luck :)
This is one brilliant looking bike and definitely a great deal of time, effort and some quality new accessories have helped to make it so! Well done! One thing I don't understand however and it is not limited to just this build, is why add scrambler items such as knobbly tyres and then create a seat no thicker than a baby's nappy and leave out other gravel road (Scrambler) items such as front fork gators and mud guards? Like I said this is becoming quite a regular thing with cafe racer builds and I definitely don't want to put negative spin on what is truly a beautiful bike! Thanks for the video it's absolutely inspiring !
It’s more of a style thing. A more aggressive stance and these tyres are dual use off and on road. They’re actually comfortable on road and handle well. And we’re never going to be scraping the footpegs on these bikes 👍🏻
Love the series for this build. Very helpful as I am beginning to start my own CB build. You mentioned it was for a client; however, if this was your own personal build, what are some of the main things you would have done differently?
Maybe use a different top triple that doesn’t leave half a bar mount? Or remove the badge mounts off the tank? I guess this build was done in a hurry. Nice aesthetic overall.
Best thing is to go to Goodwill and buy cheap leather jackets and purses , deconstruct them and use the leather in other sewing projects 👍🏼 I made a horse saddle for my nieces rocking horse outta a NINE WEST purse
Un trabajo envidiable, enhorabuena, para mi lo mejor fue el tema del tapizado, decir que una cazadora podía quedar también en un asiento parecía cosa imposible
loved it. tunes too. seen some stuff I do. and learnt new things too. my main bug is the wiring. where to stash it all to keep the bike neat. nice job fella.
I always remove and unused mounting lugs or bosses when doing custom builds. I would have removed the original handlebar risers for a finished look. If I wanted to also have the use of the original tubular type bars simply have a second top triple clamp to change out if desired.
I love the seat, tail piece, I'm going with the same idea now. I was thinking of 4 single pipes with slash cut and bend coming out underneath behind the motor really hoping that she looks as good as this
My neighbor Bill made this bike from his 750CB in 72' an spent last six months of that year recovering from Road Rash! Then I bought one an toured America because I was smart enough to wear pants!
love this bike and I'm trying to take some cues for my cb750. I have an older one with the oil reservoir - if you were 'cafe-ing' one of these older ones would you still try to clean out the triangle - how would you go about it? wet sump?
After seeing all the work put it to this and the gorgeous result I was wondering how much it sold for. Possibly for much more than a factory new motorcycle?
I didn’t sell it. I built it for a friend. A lot of people are under the impression that they sell for a lot but they’re still a 40 year old bike so will never exceed the cost of a new bike unless there is truest something special about them.
Where could someone get those clip on Handle bars?? I could not possibly go through all of the comments to see if you already answered this question, so congrats on all the buz and the great Build! I love the bike and love those clip ons so much. Thanks for your time!
Can you tell me the exact name of the Honda and the year of manufacture? I would also like to build a café racer bike from a CB750. Great work. I've watched all single building videos of the CB750.
I have the same leather jacket you cut up for that seat. Bought it 2009. Fuckin fantastic jacket. The red has faded and jaded. Best item of clothing I’ve ever bought. Better than my w650 which is also very cool. How could you! But great video and bike. One tip, add the sounds of the ratchets and tools...sounds awesome sped up with the music.
@@forthebold I understand it's very beautiful like this excuse me I'm an old man and a "café racer" looks like compétition bikes from the past and I should like to see slick tires on this bike I don't know if you understand me very well it's not google translate 😃😃😃
I can not EVEN BELIEVE no one has asked this already, who is the artist for the music? Specifically this video, they have a very upbeat and technical sound, which just brings my bell reminiscent of the good old days, watching the CKY movies, having tickets to go see CKY play in concert, didn't get to go see said concert because jess margera, (the band CkYs drummer, wound up with a broken tailbone screwing around with bam his brother.) No but really who is this artist it really does sound a lot like CKY it has the same tricky technical lines in it and I definitely love the heavy octave pedal on there. So dope ass track. That cafe racer is clean. If I was going to get one of those bom(b) proof 80s bikes again, I'd DEFINITELY do it again. I really enjoyed the mag wheels. I have them on a Honda cm450 C, which stood for custom meaning I had front and rear disc brakes and mag wheels. When I bought it I also got the regular CM 450, which had spoke wheels and drum brakes, but it did have some pretty killer low-rise bars so I began robbing parts from these two identical bikes dumped the caterpillar seat, hammer and Dollied My own seat, slung it low, by adding shock preload, because this was from a time when mom's and dad liked Ted Nugent, and you probably liked, um.. house of pain, and nine inch nails, men and women were the only bathroom choices,cuz that's all people identify as because no one has brainwashed them yet, and ol George Dub-yah Bush was banking on the war, like a goddamn Chris angel trick, all in our faces. And we took it. I love the bike, wish I didn't miss the giveaway signups back then. That's one I'd like to buy for sure, or even better, build. You do have to know that I see all that empty space underneath the seat where a turbocharger would fit beautifully.... Juuuuust a thought.... (Sorry, is my crazy showing?) Great content, killer build, and you gotta fill me in on what the music you used for this was, it's badass.... Thanks!
Not to knock your awesome project, but why did you leave the bars mounts on the triple clamp? A quick zip of a saw and file before powder coating and they would have been gone.
Im most likley about to start turning an old 78 honda 400 hawk into a cafe racer. Are there any tanks that will work on that frame other than the stock one?
The walking dead bike that bike has spured thousands of bikes .ever since they made the bike for the walking dead everyone copys it . Ps me too I got one and in trying to custom it still trying to get the complete front end of a 1998 R1( gold forks ) then some one to do the welding ..
The full series of individual in depth episodes of this build can be found on the channel
Do you think someone who doesn't have an experience in how to build a bike can make one on his own by watching the in depth vidoes?
For The Bold could you release a video series of you disassembling everything on this bike it would greatly help me get mine back together
It’s the second episode in the series
@@forthebold i want to know how to paint the tank like brushed metal? Would yo mind sharing the video tutorial for that kind of painting?
It’s not paint. It’s actual bare metal
Your son doesn't know how lucky he is to have a dad like you. More of this please!
As someone who's mechanical ability only goes as far as changing break pads and rotors, im always blown away by people who's mechanical skill and aptitude is surpassed only by their artistic talent. Great job! I really want a cafe racer now lol.
Thanks for the kind words, glad you like it.
I love seeing old things getting restored to their former glory, makes me teary eyed.
Absolutely. I could t see any bike in any state go to the junk yard.
Warriors... !!!! Come out to playeeeeee !!! Warriors!!!! I love how you upholstered the seat. Great !!!!!
Glad you like the bike.
Agree it's cool --- having said that l (personally) would take that giant Warriors sticker off the tank

Thank you :) The bike although looked OK on the surface was in a bad place.
Bike looks great!
I have a suggestion.
A little plate across the risers with the warrior etched in it.

You can go for the hidden oil tank that Cognito Moto do for the SOHC CB750. Fits and hides within the frame
If you don't mind me asking, what did you have to do to the carburetor to make it run well with the straight piped exhaust and pods?
There's a video colab on the seres I did with Cody from Motorcycle MD where we go over the specifics for this bike

If decent filters are used and oiled properly no water. Same condition for the intake pods.

No but really who is this artist it really does sound a lot like CKY it has the same tricky technical lines in it and I definitely love the heavy octave pedal on there. So dope ass track. That cafe racer is clean. If I was going to get one of those bom(b) proof 80s bikes again, I'd DEFINITELY do it again. I really enjoyed the mag wheels. I have them on a Honda cm450 C, which stood for custom meaning I had front and rear disc brakes and mag wheels. When I bought it I also got the regular CM 450, which had spoke wheels and drum brakes, but it did have some pretty killer low-rise bars so I began robbing parts from these two identical bikes dumped the caterpillar seat, hammer and Dollied My own seat, slung it low, by adding shock preload, because this was from a time when mom's and dad liked Ted Nugent, and you probably liked, um.. house of pain, and nine inch nails, men and women were the only bathroom choices,cuz that's all people identify as because no one has brainwashed them yet, and ol George Dub-yah Bush was banking on the war, like a goddamn Chris angel trick, all in our faces. And we took it.
I love the bike, wish I didn't miss the giveaway signups back then. That's one I'd like to buy for sure, or even better, build.
You do have to know that I see all that empty space underneath the seat where a turbocharger would fit beautifully.... Juuuuust a thought.... (Sorry, is my crazy showing?) Great content, killer build, and you gotta fill me in on what the music you used for this was, it's badass.... Thanks!
Not to knock your awesome project, but why did you leave the bars mounts on the triple clamp? A quick zip of a saw and file before powder coating and they would have been gone.
In case the person riding the bike ever wanted to swap back to normal bars again.
I'm working on a build with my 79 Honda XL500S.
Excellent hope it goes well.
Hey! I was wondering what tires are on this bike? Couldn’t figure It out on the parts list you gave.
They’re continental TKC80
Gosh! That is awesome, and thank you for sharing. This is really giving me the drive to attempt "this" on my own!! Thanks.
Excellent, enjoy your build
I love the café racer
Thank you
you are ridiculously talented
Thank you for the kind words.
Very soothing to watch!
Thanks for watching
How do you hide the wires? Especially the ones for the front part of the bike (headlights, signals etc).
Just run them under the fuel tank and up the yolk.
Beautiful, good work . This is art !
Thank you, glad you think so
How do you make you table looks like airplane rivets??????
I bought the table.
That is the most rad seat cover EVER!
Thanks.
Where did you get those hand grips?! They look sick

Dime. En que pesera
Andas. Todos losdias..
A lot lighter.
Sir, can you please give me some information about "fuel tank"
It’s just the standard fuel tank on this bike.
Im most likley about to start turning an old 78 honda 400 hawk into a cafe racer. Are there any tanks that will work on that frame other than the stock one?
You can in theory get any tank to fit most frames. Just takes a little work. But I don’t know off hand if anything will bolt straight on without work.
This is such a sweet looking build. Anyone know where I can get something like this done in the US? I have an old CB650 Nighthawk I want to convert.
The walking dead bike that bike has spured thousands of bikes .ever since they made the bike for the walking dead everyone copys it . Ps me too I got one and in trying to custom it still trying to get the complete front end of a 1998 R1( gold forks ) then some one to do the welding ..
Classified moto would do it. They did the walking dead bike
