How this started: My good friend was watching my videos and left me a comment challenging me to build a Cheap Scrambler / Street Tracker. I asked my subscribers who wanted to see this and the response was overwhelming so I had to give it a go :)
At the end of this build, I will be taking this bike on an adventure to go motorcycle camping where I will sit back by fire and discuss the build in a little more detail with the guy that started this challenge.
Let's build this bike together :)

Any questions just ask :)
Do you have a finished parts list? Part number for the gators that fit? Exact rear wheel? Ect?
Ah dude. I cant tell you how much I appreciate you creating a tools list. I saw that thing at 5:34 and was like "hold up what is that? I need one now" and I scroll down and boom. Thx so much man! Keep up the great work!
Nothing makes me more happy than to see someone who can't help but do things properly!! Classic to see you start off trying to do it just ok then changing your plan to do it properly! Great work. Great channel!!
You just made my day Michael, Thank you, I'm glad you like it and comments like one are very inspiring :)
Cafe Racer Garage The genuine part of it is you don't even realize your doing it! Great work. Looking forward to watching the bikes you transform.
Exciting stuff man! Looking forward to this build.
Very Cool
Good info , thank you 👍🏼
Great job as always my friend!
Thank you Wayne I'm editing the next episode as we speak, I this I spend as long editing as I do building, just as well I love both :)
Yea, that bar support looks much better black and love the tires there at the end!
Thank you mate, loads more to come :) thank you for the support and comments :)
You’ve got me hooked! All your work you do is top notch quality. I need to take a page out of your book and do things once and do it right. Keep it up. Excited to see the next step!
You seriously just made me all fuzzy inside :) Having a comment like this is exactly why I love sharing my vids, Thank you so much Alex :) Plenty more cool videos to come, I hope you enjoy them just as much
Awesome project!
80x86 thanx mate :)
Nice attention to detail, Great episode!
Thank you mate. I do my best with the hands I have :) Im always learning and sometimes the hard way haha
Nice progress 👍🏻
I was honestly going to break this video up into 2 videos but I've got so many in the pipeline that I need to get them posted, The good news is I have 3 more videos at editing stage, only one of them is the Scrambler Budget Build, cant tell you what the other two are just yet ;)
Nice!
thank you mate
The struggle with getting those wheels striped was real. Good to see you showing how things dont always go as planned. When you were talking about not wanting to take the tires off, I was yelling to take them off and roll that bike around on the wheels
haha the easy way doesn't always work lol thank you for the comment, I can just imagine you watching me and yelling at the computer screen 😂
Cool update. I've been wanting to do a project like this.
Its sooooooo fun brother :) What bike will you get?
Cafe Racer Garage a older Honda for sure. I'm a bigger guy so it would have to be a 750. I like the CB750.
great job mate! also in the process of a build and just wondering what fork boots you used?? couldn't find them in your amazon page.
Looking good on the CX, the original cruiser style makes me feel a bit queasy lol
Cool update, and you beat me to it with the cx500 scrambler project👍🏼😄. I also have a CB750 (1980) and I ended up using CognitoMoto’s rear set brackets. Would they work on your 750?
I guess now I need to follow the progress on your cx?!😄. Really enjoying your videos. Cheers.
Thank you, brother, I really appreciated It. The 750 CognitoMoto Resets Won't fit my bike unfortunately but they do make a universal set that could fit my bike, I've been in communication with them about this, I just want to see how these custom ones turn out first, they might be awesome ; -)
I would love to see your progress pics of your cx500 shoot me a PM massage on the Cafe Racer Garage FB Page
Great build! Im building the same bike! Do you know the part number to the rubber fork boots you used? Thanks! Keep up the good work!! 👍
Scramblers are ugly..........So here's a like and a comment for those sweeeeet rear sets! Hahaha. The people have spoken and I've been over ruled, the scrambler is here. I like the $1200 dollar budget challenge though. Thanks for sticking with it. Hopefully you can benefit from the new monetization options UA-cam is offering . Edit: Just finished the video. I need a beer, that was a lot of work. Top notch video arrangement , very entertaining . You finally kicked that tire's @$$. Well done brother.
Haha yes we are definitely not all the same and that's what makes this place amazing! :) Yes if I say I will do something I have to follow through, It messes with my integrity if I don't :) I'm unsure about the new monetization, this is new news to me.
Thank you again for the comment
Anytime. All we have to do is comment, but you spend hours and hours of effort. Seems like a pretty good deal to me ;) I'm not sure if your father had a hand in teaching you fabrication or not, but I imagine that he was a very inspiring person.
I grew up with the access to tools but didn't get a lot of encouragement, unfortunately.
A lot of my skills are self-teaching and learning from my mistakes, I don't know how to do everything but I love the share what I do know. thank you for the nice comments brother it means a lot and definitely encourages me to get back to the garage :)
Such an awesome video. You managed to get a lot done and only on the second episode. Great work. Might send my BMW to you hey lol
Ha ha I need to get it finished so I can take it camping remember. throw some budget-friendly ideas at me if you want :) and not to budget like a candle in a tin can with a magnifying glass for a head light lol 😂😂
Cafe Racer Garage شقيق العمل رائع. أحب الطريقة التي صنعت بها هذه الحلقة. لا يمكنني الانتظار للمرة التالية
Man, I love this channel, it's definitely my favorite! That CB is so tuff but I also love a low budget build and it's a good change of scene. I'm new to bikes, I only just got my learner's and a bike to tinker with at the age of 28 after years of blowing LOTS of cash on building cars, thanks to yourself and a couple of other channels on here. You have a killer setup in your garage and your vids are always inspiring. Keep it up 👍🏻 ps. It looks like that front rim is cracked at the hub between each spoke, what is that?
Lachlan Gill, thank you mate, i’m a car guy as well from way back, I’ve had some very cool cars I’ve also spent loads of money on them but I do love playing on bikes now.
The wheels you refer to our comstar alloy Wheels made by Honda, the rim is separate to the spokes and hub and held together with aircraft rivets and Ht bolts
Aahhh yep i think i see it. Is each spoke a separate piece but they overlap where they bolt to the hub? Cars are too expensive! I'm mucking around with an xv250 and I'd love to vlog it, but I'm not that tech savvy
yes they overlap, :) A XV250 is a cool bike brother. Yes cars can cost a lot thats for sure
I don't know why but this build got me even more excited than the CB one. And I absolutely love cafe racers...
That's what I love to hear :) I have loads of plans but I need to be careful with the budget or I could blow it very quickly. I wasn't even going to build a scrambler next but me audience wanted it so here I am and im loving it :) thank you for the comment my friend
Daaaaaaaaaaamn nice job man 😂😂😂😂😂 that front end now looks brand new!!!
Oh thank you Ma-man, its sure does, wait till next weeks video haha, :)
Cafe Racer Garage can't wait!! 😁😁😁
Love the videos mate!! Good on you for persevering and how you didn't let the cabinet defeat you!! Keep the videos coming!! Im down the bottom of australia but if i was local i would've loved to go for a cruise one day!!
Travis Corey I have so many Aussie Subscribers 👍 it’s crazy how many of us are into this stuff. Thank you for the nice comment.
It’s the comments that I really look forward to more than anything. What do you Ride or Building?
Just out of curiosity how’d you find my videos originally?
Cafe Racer Garage awesome stuff mate, currently ride a Triumph street triple, not so much a build just added a few accessories but i would love to kick off a project like this and these videos are definitely an inspiration to start!! I was referred by another local subscriber and friend of mine and haven't really missed a video since!!
Travis Corey that’s awesome to know you are inspired to start a build from watching my videos, so cool! 😎
Word of mouth is powerful 👍
Very nice bike what year is it?
Cafe Racer Garage its a little over 3 months old its the learner 660cc model till i get some decent experience up!!
660 is a good size bike don't talk it down, I have 2 cx500s they are so fun, you honestly don't need a big bike to have the best time on a bike, I know guys that have had big bikes for years that buy smaller bikes because you just love them :)
I was sitting here thinking: Why not protecting the bearings in the wheel now when you did it while cleaning it? But I got the answer... I hope the bearings aren't too expensive! Great job so far! 😀👍
Kristoffer-robin Lotze I always promised to leave my mistakes in my videos so I’m not just showing the positive side of what I do. 😁 we all make mistakes lol $30 Australian. This will be a massive challenge to stay under budget
Where'd you find those tires? I'm turning my 81 GS650GL Suzuki into a scrambler. The one in my profile pic. I didn't want to have a tracker exhaust that runs underneath the bike, I'm going to run a true scrambler exhaust along the side with a thrush glasspax. I couldn't find the adaptors I needed, so I'm going to make an exhaust manifold like on a car or an old snowmobile out of a 3 or 4 inch pipe, then crome ceramic it. The ends will be capped with an adaptor on the right side to connect the exhaust pipe wrapped in tape with some heat shields on it to keep my legs from getting burnt. I don't know, what do you think?
Forks look great. I have really got to get a blasting cabinet. Hand sanding sucks big time.
Good music to swear by, Dan! 😎 Nice video, Mate... btw, do you have a special system for logging parts during a tear down? Cheers 🏍👍🏍
haha yeah I had that song in mind when I was shooting that part of the video :)
In regards to logging parts, I always video everything so there is no chance I will forget where things go lol but the best way to work on a bike is in sections, like the front end for eg: Take as much off as needed to get the job done, always put them back on the bike before starting the next section if you can. Its like painting a house. you just paint one room at a time until its complete before moving to the next. If you take a bike completely apart and have a box of parts it may stay that way for a very long time due to lack of motivation as the bike is not there for you to look at every day you go the garage or you just get so overwhelmed and don't know where to start. Hope that explainsa it better for you Gary
What about pulling the bearings from the other rear wheel?
how have I not found this channel before? fkn yt algorithm!
Foxtrot Mike Lima thank you mate, I post weekly videos so I’m glad you are here 😊👍 enjoy brother and if you have any questions just ask
hey mate, what kind of blasting media did you use? Do you have any thoughts about using soda blasting to remove rust, paint etc?
The sandblasting garnet i use is glass and sand, Iv tried soda but its very aggressive by it self, Its good on carb bodies tho.
hi! I really enjoy your video, but it will be good if you re-organize your playlist! cheers!
Taking some big cosmetic steps there! 👍 Why haven't we seen that sandblast cabinet before?
Yes indeed :) I cant show you all my tools in one video, although that would make a good video lol My air compressor works overtime when I use that blast cabinet. Maybe I will upgrade my compressor when I start doing more blasting. Thank you for the comment brother
That was one of the reasons I don't have a sandblast cabinet. The cabinet is one thing, but the compressor is a whole different story. Looked like I would also have to have high voltage power current for the proper compressors... I thought 'this looks like one of those jobs to outsource!'
To be honest it needs a very big compressor to run it. I stopped many times waiting for the compressor to build up air so outsourcing is a good idea but this is a budget build so every cent counts, speaking of budget, have you got any places you buy jets from? I need to up them a bit
Because i do not have a 3 phase supply at home 415 volt , im limited to a single phase 240 volt model .the biggest i could get within my price budget was the Wolf Dakota belt drive , its a 14 cubic feet a minute with a 90 lt tank . The belt drive is a lot quieter than the direct drive models , its not an industrial version but more light trade and definitely bigger an better than a hobby one i did try a 25 lt 9.5 cfm but it was running almost constant at 80 psi in the tank ..
Mine is by no way perfect as you say a huge industrial one would be brilliant but size cost and noise have a large part of my choice.
I origianal built mine to blast a mates seat base for his gt380 as we couldn't find a replacement at a viable cost so i decided to build the cabinet and weld the bits back that were missing ..its the best and most appreciated tool in the shed ..its paid for itself many times over now ..
I was told by a friend to get the biggest compressor you can afford ..
Awesome Info yet again, Your friend is right. Bigger is better in this case :) Sound like your are a handy guy like myself just making what every you need. where are you located?
No for the gold brakelever!
What handlebars you got on there?
Keith McIntosh just a set I found on eBay for $21 :)
Just a tip for the blast cabinet. .it looks like on the side you have a vent to allow the air to escape ..
I made meself a cabinet a few years back and even with a mesh vent i found it just clouded up way way too quick so i went to the local tool stockist and got me a woodwork extractor ..just a small one about the size of a 25 lt drum ..turns out it sucks at the rate of 85 cubic feet a minute ..i have to have a 4 inch hose with a series of extra holes or it pulls the gloves off the mounts ..but its great as i can see what im doing at all times ..gaz
Gary Yorke magic. Love this idea 💡 thank you for sharing :) it’s the extra tips and help from comments like this that blow my mind and what an awesome community we have here.
@@CafeRacerGarage got the idea from the bigger versions available with the built in extractor ..but couldn't get the filter cloth that easy so as im a wood machinist by trade i just utilised a drum extractor took a bit of getting used to how much suck it needed in the cabinet without pulling it inside out , it has a 4 inch inlet to the unit and ive drilled about 6 no 3/4inch holes in a tube thats set just above the outside lid so it pulls air from outside and vents the cabinet enough to pull out the dust but not pull the gloves of their mounts ..the blast media i use is garnet stone which is a brown but soon turns to dust ..only thing is to periodically check the internal filter in the extractor as that will block with the fine dust ..like most things work great but wish i built it bigger ..its 3ft wide 3 ft high and 2 ft deep well big enough for that wheel and tyre in one lol you probably could get away with a vacumn cleaner for the quick jobs but they aint designed for a long period of use ..
Just for info , mine has a glass panel in the top with a small fluresant tube fitting laying on top of it and a glass window in front. On the inside of the glass i used acetate sheeting as its easier to replace that rather than the glass every so often , its about a 1/2mm thick just thick enough to retain its shape without sagging and clear enough for a good few uses ..it does get scratched by the dust but it takes a while before needing changing ..regards gaz
@@garyyorke1619 Thank you for all your help Gaz, so many good Ideas, I don't use the cabinet that often but I will like to upgrade my Air compressor to as big as possible so I don't run out of air :) What size is your compressor?
Legendary, great to watch. Have you tried soda in your blaster? I recently had an entire engine done, rubber hoses and all. It was however wet soda. You seem to be getting excellent results - well done and keep up the great vids.
I have tried it but its a little soft. I'm assuming the wet soda is the better way to go. Thank you for the kind words Paul
Love the videos. Awesome work. BUT! @ 16:44 the rim comes out of the sandblaster, your discussing the condition of the bearings. I noticed that the rim is severely cracked around the hub mounting bolts! That rim does not look safe to run.
Nick DC I know what you are saying and it does look like cracks, However, it’s the overlapping of each spoke, the Comstar wheels are all separate parts and held together with aircraft style rivets at Honda’s factory.
I had to stare at that section of the video for a good 10 minutes. I see it. For all the time of my life that I have spent working on motorcycles. Either wire spokes, or, cast aluminium. I have never seen riveted rims before. That is awesome, I learned something new(old today. LOL
Nick DC we only stop learning when we are dead or we think we know everything. You made me very happy that I got to teach you something new :)
Some guys I’ve seen unbolt The rim from the spokes and hub and replace the rim with a slightly wider room to fit wider tires but requires high tensile bolts and steel locking nuts to make it safe.
CX500 have a shaft drive so only CX or GL hubs will work And there is really no other way To keep the comstar wheels but have a wider rear tire.
Nice job! I need to get me a sand blaster :) How big of a compressor do you run? Bearings shouldn't be expensive, no need to get OEM ones. The standard bearing code is usually in the parts number. E.g. Honda 9614063020 has 6302 in it, which is a standard bearing size and you can probably get a quality one for 10 AUD or less.
Thank you Ekik that is super helpful :) Might take the bearings to a bearing shop and see what they have, the product number is: 961206302010 so I think you are right :) In regards to the air compressor, get the biggest one you can afford, mine is a 15 - 17CFM and it still makes me wait till it builds up enough air for me to continue blasting. The blasting cabinet is also something you want to get as big as you can afford, Its very hard to work in a small cabinet, I wouldnt go any smaller than I have right now :) this is the one I would recommend amzn.to/2Kl30mN, Not sure of your budget so I cant really recomend an air compressor but find a compressor repair shop in your area and call them to ask what compressor will be best for your budget. Any more questions just ask :)
Cafe Racer Garage Good luck with the bearing hunt! From looking at it seems I need to get 3 phase 16A power into my garage first before getting a powerful enough compressor for blasting. Some day...
3 Phase is a little excessive I think unless you are going to use it a lot
Cafe Racer Garage Unfortunately I can’t find any in my part of the world (Sweden) that output above 250 l/min (~9 CFM) that run on 230V. The 3-4hp ones that output 450 or so l/min (16 CFM) are all 400V...
What paint are you using sir?
Hi mate, here is a list of what I used in this video:
Satin Black Paint amzn.to/2MWK7rN
Gray Primer Paint amzn.to/2MkEvXr
Cordless Random Orbit Sander amzn.to/2MkCuKx
(Tool only)
5 Inch Sanding Discs amzn.to/2lu86Cd
Synthetic steel wool Green amzn.to/2K5zy8a
Synthetic steel wool Gray amzn.to/2Kl3Kvd
Any questions just ask
Cafe Racer Garage thank you!
Did I see wrong or were the spokes cracked on the front wheel?
Never mind. I just watched closer and realized that it's just the design of the wheel 😄
I know what you are saying and it does look like cracks, However, it’s the overlapping of each spoke, the Comstar wheels are all separate parts and held together with aircraft style rivets at Honda’s factory.
Why all the cafe racers have low positioned Handel bars..... aren't they uncomfortable ....
wireless killer It all started back in the 50s and 60s when guys wanted to reduce wind drag on the bike as well as reducing weight. by leaning forward helps reduce the wind drag and thus makes you go faster. They didn’t have all the technical knowledge we know now but this was some of the reasons why they are so low. back then I believe they just spun the original handlebars upside down. Not all cafe races have to have clip ons or low handlebars. design it the way you like it 👍
Cafe Racer Garage thanks mate .... I seen motorcycle with really low handlebars and seen people riding them. ...and always used to think it would be really uncomfortable to make long rides on those motorcycle
