Big thanks to JTECMOTO.COM for making this video possible.
I love gold forks on a bike. It looks good on anything from a Bigwheel, to this, to a BMW K100 cafe. There's just something about it...
I want one.. Exactly like this.
i'm on it, it's been a year now and i'm half the way...i'm working on my buell xb12ss, there is so much potential in this bike i have change the design twice, having a lot of work does not help, and restoring bikes to factory new on my free time neither, tools are expensive so restore old machinery to have excellent tools to make excellent parts is a pita , cafe racers are forever and when i get old i want my kids look at it and think "if my dad could do it, i can do it" i spent 4 months just to make my subframe, it looks like factory made, not a singke flaw , its all made of steel, not a single particle of bondo, and casting my own design tailight from resine and leds is hard job...as soon as i finish i'l be glad to share it with everyone...
this is the most beautiful bike I have ever seen 😍
I bought a new 750 Virago the first year they came out as I wanted to take my sister on a tour of Alaska. The bike was cheaper than a Sportster and I thought it would be more reliable. A week after I bought it I noticed a cylinder had a crack in it, probably came from the factory cracked. Drove around the state for 2 weeks waiting for the engine to blow wishing I had bought the Sportster.
I love how cafe builders are starting to use the holins race forks now in days👍👍👍
Britney Shaw you mean ohlins?
nice rear tail - light flasher set up = no fall and break flashers off , GREAT design :)
Your bike really looks and sounds fantastic. Understated and classy.
Hey it was a great time doing this video with you, and it came out freaking amazing
+Jake Bandaruk Thanks Jake, glad you like the video! And thanks for your patience and assistance. Remember to share it on Reddit!
The builder seems like a really cool cat. Cool bike.
Absolutely amazing bike! I have a YAMAHA R1 and i love it!
Very good looking bike. Clean, bright real eye-catcher!
Holy jesus. This is a killer build.
Beautiful styling. great job...both designer and client for having the sense to give the artist "creative control'....nice nice look.
if I had the pesos...I'd hire this fellow to do my Honda CB-1. Get it dialed in a properly looking.
I just modified my 82 virago 920. I removed the Cycom and square headlight. I put on a round digital Tach/speedo and a round LED headlight. It looks so much better.
Jake your bike is pretty much perfect man!
It works, it works god damn it, when retro meets modern.
Great looking bike, great T shirt 😉
Thats it i need to build a cafe racer.
that pin is right on the balls, must be comfortable
Absolutely awesome well put together
nice bike, nice sound, good job putting it together.
amazing built man
This dudes entire store of bike designs are exactly what I'm looking for, sadly I'm international so shipping would suck.
great rebuild. love the styling.
Is a beautiful motorcycle, nice work. 👍🏼
Awesome design I love this bike
I. Am definitely going to buy this same bike I loved it bro
Did the triple tree from the r6 fit right in without any modifications?
I like the custom fab seat/frame mod all in one. looks super stable having the seat basically being a frame member. I need to get working on my POS, but parts are pricey :/
+Sir Charles You should visit the jtecmoto.com website to see more of Jeff's builds. He really likes this style of custom Virago.
+The Moto Channel cafe virago builds generally end up looking the same, not that its a bad thing. but just the way he did the seat and seat-frame was very unique and looked so clean. very nice fab work! I'd like to see builds of different brands from him.
i love greg's setup but i'm sure i can make it work with a little of my own inspiration, little details make a huge diferrence, about 2013 i sized my ducati 1098 engine so a sold it by parts, keept the front forks and wheel, brakes, triple, and electronics, i think this guy has a really good idea here the way his virago looks is strong and an authentic road eater, but as i said before, more work is need it to make an authentic piece of art, for the fuel tank i have a friend with a panigale, his tank is dented, i'm still waiting him to come here ready for order a new one and dump the old one , guess where??? yeah ....in my hands... i was thinking in benelli but i made a sketch with the manigale's and man its mind blowing... one question is it me or the viragos price has been reaching the sky in the last months??? my friend from the panigale bike was looking for a virago too but we couldn't find any below $2,500. i bought mine in $700 but i think it was good luck...
for the monoshock, how did you mount it? is it direct swap or not? the upper eye don't needs to turn 90 degrees no?
T shirts and canvas plimsolls are the new essential pieces of safety clothing it seems!
+Luke Hattersley Jake will start training as an Air Force pilot soon. He's probably just practicing being in dangerous situations.
+The Moto Channel that's no excuse!
Hi! Nice build! Congrats! I am in the process of build exactly the same bike and year and I'd like to ask you about the rear shock. I am in the process of choosing one. This one you using came from a R6 right? Wich year? It was the right size (length)? Do you have pics of the shock in details? Do you modify the frame or the swingarm to match the shock? hanks a lot!
my dream bike..super cool
Hi Jeff and Jake how are you? I have bought a Vitago XV1000(TR1) one year ago and in the contrary to my previous cafe racer, I didn't have time at all to make this one after my newborn baby. I am having problems with...guess?...Starter Clutch of course! Since you are the master of the Viragos, do you have any tricks around this common issue? I really appreciate any enlightenment. Best regards
nice lamps, I like this
love the Slayer Shirt too!
I am about to raise the fuel tank on my '82 virago 920, do I need to throw on a second petcock like you did here or change the location of the stock petcock?
Hi! Great job! Wanna rebuild my honda steed into a caf)
How did you shorten the trail?
Which traverses applied?
Dud you rebuilt the rear swingarm?
Where did you put the airfilter?
DUDE U OWN """DIS""""!!!
what year was the front end from and did it go on fine or was there any mods done to make it fit
Did you have to modify the frame for the R6 shock? That bike sounds great.
i'll build my sportbike to cafe racer, it's gonna be awesome!!!!!
Ibnu hasm did you start that project? I'd be very interested to see how it goes...
Amazing job
great build......
"The caliperrrerrrrr"
I'm curious about the rearsets/gearshifters. We're they custom fabricated?
Is there a build thread on this bike? I'd like to know how to do the gen 2 rear wheel conversion. I like how the r6 front wheel more closely matches the gen 2 virago rear wheel.
awesome bike!!!
what is the rear and front tire size?
dam what a sweet bike !!!!!!
Very cool motorcycle
really nice bike.
How much does this type of project cost? Sorry for asking.
Is that Back break work properly ?
How can I contact the bike builder....the website given is not available
great job
Which bikes fuel tank u have installed in this project.
Why do you use the rearwheel of a younger Virago? Were is the advantage, or even the difference? All because of the rims?
The newer virago wheel has a style that more resembles the non stock Honda front wheel.
Honda ?
How did you go about elevating the gas tank?
How much did it cost to build the bike ?
Great build guys! What's the top speed?
what speedometer is built in this project?
really love the idea but it really needs more work on it, more sanding on the tail, look at it , still pin holes from bondo, its a little twisted, i love the front forks look, they look sturdy and strong, not like others cafes...
+fireblade639 Just out of curiosity, have you also built a virago cafe racer. We always wonder what the commenters ride.
What size tires did you use?
How much does it cost to have something like this built? Its amazing!
+xsonz2 You can contact Jeffrey at JTECMOTO.COM who built the bike for a quote. Of course it's always cheaper to do it yourself, but takes much longer. Just google "Stanley Tang cbass" to find Stanley's detailed build thread on viragotechforum.com.

+The Moto Channel The link tells me to log in... Do you have another link?
How much it costed building this bike?
I have a 82 I want to mod mine just like this bike
could you please tell me what year the R6 was.
If you don't mind my questioning, how much would a build like this cost me?
slayer shirt ftw
Fucking Beautiful Machine
How much does it cost to build a motorbike as this?
How you adapt the rear shock??
How much would a build like this cost?
Saw this on reddit a while ago
+RockstarFishy Yeah, Jake said he put photos of the bike up on Reddit some time ago. Would be cool if someone would post this video too. Do you know how to do that? Where on Reddit could this video be posted? Thanks for watching man!
+The Moto Channel reddit r/motorcycles or r/caferacers
+The Moto Channel i totally forgot to tell you that i did post the video on reddit as soon as you posted the video!
+Jake Bandaruk Thanks Jake!
Very nice 👍🏽 but would look 10x better with spoke wheels!
does anyone recognize (and have a link for) those aluminum ebay levers? i cant seem to find that model
What size front tire? Please of anyone knows!
it is beautiful, but i just hope that they can do better cable management,
Can be possible to convert virago with dualshock into monoshock?
anything can be done but it would be hard :D
Damn! That bike is Fat as Hell!!! Damn nice Build!!
i am now tempted to buy one of these rather than an fzr
how about the frame/chassis ?
how cheap could I go for a bike like this? I want one for my first bike and my dad and I are looking for one
I may just do it myself to which bike should I build off of???
