Hello Victor, I am the builder of the second motorcycle, the "Colombian" I am glad that people liked it, there was a small equibocation and I was not named correctly I am Felipe Saldarriaga and gonzalez is my second last name, it is not very important , You can also see my face perofile as Luis Felipe Saldarriaga Gonzalez. I thank you very much for looking at my work.
Olá Luis. Sorry for my mistake, Here in Portugal, we usually use the First and last name, and that is why i identified you as Luis Gonzalez. I am very glad for showing your project in this video. It seems that most people prefer your motorcycle. Congratulations. It's really a beautiful project. :) Saludos.
If you want optimum performance and sound stay with a exhaust pipe diameter of around 1" 1/4 maximum 1" 1/2 (up to 1000cc). Use reverse Cone Muffler's as these produce a void in muffler allowing gases to escape quicker. Wrap exhaust for more performance as exhaust gas flows over a hot surface faster. Despite what some might think unrestricted exhaust dictate a leaner air fuel mixture. The correct jetting will stop the popping on engine over run. Dyno will ultimately dictate jetting but as a rule the above mods will gain hp. Very nice bike!
I too love the "Colombian". It has a brutal efficiency about it that really appeals to me. The angle of the cylinders reminds me of a V8, evocative of power. At 68 years, and with arthritis and back problems, I had to part with my '04 Thruxton, and I miss it every day. I wonder if there is a way a machine like yours, could be changed just enough to give it a bit of the flat tracker look... The slightly higher and wider bars would be much more comfortable for someone like myself. Don't get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing "wrong" with your splendid creation, you are right to be proud of it. Well done!
You are welcome my friend. It is always pleasure to present a beautiful project built by Zeus Custom. Congratulations for your usual and very nice taste. :) Cheers.
My first bike was the xv750 with the mono shock. I turned it into a cafe racer back in 09. I guess people realized the potential of these bikes. My fav aspect of this bike is the hanging engine. It looks like your riding an engine. Such an awesome machine. And cheap
Perdí la cuenta de las veces que he visto éste video (y todos los de tu canal en general). Excelente canal, el mejor en cuanto a ésta cultura. Saludos desde México.
Brilliant use of common, economical parts in the second build! Very nice work. The first, is an understated work of art. Excellent fabrication and vision to see the line and execute the build. I always look forward to your next review. You always present new ideas in a professional, unbiased format. As always, thank you!
K Mooyong is a great guy. He's getting quite famous now. And it's great to see he is not changing and still share his passion within the community. To be close to him and his shop it's one of the only things i miss since i don't live in BKK anymore. Perseus is such a beautiful bike. I like the style and the old look it has. It's simple and not too shiny. Love it.
Virago is really an interesting bike and we can find it with relative ease in many projects. In fact without much money invested a good builder can achieve a very good custom motorcycle. That is why there are so many projects we can find in a quick search on the internet. Most are expendable, but as always these two bikes are something special. I like the virago very much, but every time I am attracted more to the old Kawasaki Vulkan 500 2 inline. Saludos
I agree with everything you said. The old Kawasaki Vulkan 500 can also be an interesting motorcycle, but is has the same frame problem as the Virago XV 1100. Thank you my friend for sharing your usual perspective. Saludos.
Uau. Os pequenos grandes detalhes. O farol invertido mudou totalmente o visual. Um dia poderia falar mais da parte elétrica/eletrônica dos projetos. Até a próxima quinzena.
Sem duvida. Agradeço a sugestão amigo Fernando, mas infelizmente os meus conhecimentos sobre esse assunto, não são suficientemente maduros para aplicar num video. Mais uma vez, obrigado pela sugestão. :) Um abraço.
I dont know about Thailand but I envy you guys, I think you dont need an engineers report on custom frame mods. That would be a dream! Here in aussie land you cant even put on different forks without a certificate, and that costs about $1000 aus. Here in NSW its even worse, you get tested every year for a roadworthy. If you have these bikes modified, as I do, you need the original setup to pass every year, its a nightmare. Maybe I'll move to thailand, they come here, I'll go there!
Acredito que, entre todos os vídeos seus que já assisti, este seja o que mais tenha me instigado a construir uma café racer.. e a razão para isso é a segunda moto. Quase tudo nela é harmônico, coerente e de muito bom gosto, realmente.. desde as linhas agressivas e modernas a até mesmo o detalhe da linha vermelha diagonal que corta o tanque e que faz referência ao quadro e à balança traseira.. magnífica. E por que eu digo quase perfeita? Porque eu iria estudar um vistoso e arrojado escape de titânio de curvas seccionadas para ela.. para chutar o balde mesmo rsrs.. A partir de hoje vou começar, assim como quem não quer nada, dar uma pesquisada na web se há alguma Virago XV 920 em bom estado a venda.. não custa sonhar né? rsrs.. Valeu pelo vídeo Vitor e até o próximo. Abraço.
Olá amigo. Foi precisamente por tudo o que disse que escolhi essa Virago da Colombia. Eu sabia que muita gente ia gostar desse projecto, principalmente porque não requer muitas alterações. Mas num dos comentários que já li, parece que a Virago XV 920 é bastante rara aí no Brasil. De qualquer forma, desejo-lhe a maior sorte amigo. Um abraço.
Sim, receio que tenha razão meu caro, na verdade já estava a suspeitar isso mesmo enquanto escrevia meu comentário. E o pior é que, depois de ver um resultado final como esse com tão poucas mudanças e tão relativamente acessível, acredito que agora ficará difícil apaixonar por algum projeto cuja base seja qualquer moto comum do Brasil 😠👺💤.. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, não duvido da capacidade da Racer TV de escarafunchar e nos surpreender rsrs.. Boa semana.
Having built and ridden a virago with a very similar exhaust I will let everyone considering it that the heat is no joke, wrap it up and stay safe! I can't count the number of times I burned myself on it or cooked all the hair off my shin sitting at stop lights waiting to go.
The second bike, the one made by Luiz, is the bike I like the most from the several virago projects I found on the web. I've found it on Pinterest and pinned it to my "cafe racer ideas" album. But I have a virago 535 with dual shocks...need to find a solution for it 👍🏻
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. Yes, just like you, i am still looking for a good virago 535 cafe racer for a new video. :) Um abraço.

RACER TV what do you think of this one: bikebrewers.com/yamaha-xv535-cafe-racer-by-studio-motor/
Another high quality vid my friend I own a harley street 750 and would love to turn it into something like that I hope one day you will showcase the street 750 and make it cool god bless.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. In my opinion, i think the Harley-Davidson Street 750 Cafe Racer by Rajputana Custom, is a beautiful project. :) Cheers.
Me encantan las café racer y éste canal en especial. Pero hace unos días probé la Royal Enfield 650 GT y la posición no es para cualquiera. Me resultó muy incómoda, lo mismo me ha pasado con otras customizadas. Lindo estilo pero para verlo.
Well, it is not the higher number of cylinders that makes an engine to be more powerful. It is more a matter of personal taste. Personally, i think the V twin engine has the best sound of all. Cheers.
Bom dia Victor. Duas versões de uma mesma moto. A Virago não seria minha opção para uma customização, mas eu gostei da solução colombiana, principalmente o jogo de cores. Parabéns pelo vídeo e até a próxima semana!!
o segundo projeto está melhor, as linhas perfeitas, com o tanque de combustível original ficou clean. Amigo Victor, encontrei uma cafe racer construída na base da royal enfield, deixei uma foto e o link no face para você ve-la, gostei muito do projeto, aqui no Brasil novamente a royal enfield está começando andar nas ruas.
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. Já vi a mensagem no Facebook. Realmente a moto é muito bonita, Só tenho pena que o guidão não seja mais "cafe Racer". Mas obrigado pela sugestão :) Um abraço.
RACER TV Thanks to you! I have month looking for information on the second bike and although I'm subscribed to your channel I've never seen this video before. Love your production by the way, it's very useful and informative, no need to mention how elegant and clear is all explained :)
another amazing review. I never really liked viragos but in the right hands oh lala ! thanks for the review and helping people show their work to the world.
Hi mate. I wonder most ofter, why manufacturers don’t build such magnificent motorcycles. Are these custom bikes have safety and ergonomic as per standards. ? I dont know though.
They are good, Spains a bit rough round the edges, but overall well done, the tank seat level is the hardest thing depending on the stance of the bike,and if youve ever done it, its not easy, it should be! I have two, XV750 83 with CBR1100 forks, and XV1000 with VTR1000 forks. I dont like USD forks on a classic looking bike, just personal preference. If you like Showa forks on these bikes its not that hard, only have to extend the stem an inch or so and the lower bearing is the same, all balls have a top end one avail. Still a long wheelbase virago in handling, but great for the ego! I dont think you need pillion pegs on the XV920 with that seat! BTW the XV920, that was the XV1000 in australia, it wasnt called the TR1 or anything, just came out in chain or shaft drive. More shaft drive ones about.
thank you for showing those great bikes :) do you think.it is possible to built a good cafe racer without cutting the frame? its because i don't want to cut the frame of my cj 250 cause its in.an exzellent shape.
yes, it is perfectly possible to create a good cafe racer with that CJ 250, and without cutting the frame. Try to search on youtube for "Honda CB 125 Cafe Racer", and you will find several of my videos about that model. Cheers.
find out from Your st/st supplier which grade is more malleable. It obviously also depends on how much You want to "deform" the sheet. You might have to do the "deformation" in steps and by annealing the st/st after every step to reduce the inherit hardening due to the deformation. For the appropriate temps for the annealing best consult Your supplier.
Two great looking bikes, the professional cafe racer crowd shows some real originality sometimes. What I've NEVER liked about such designs are the two different wheel (because of the front wheel change due to the suspension upgrade) en the exhaust pipes on the right side of the engine. I can understand you don't want those enourmous mufflers, but why not have two different pipes and let the rear cilinder blow onto the ground? Most of them don't even use mufflers at all....
Just like you, i also a fan of two different pipes in a cafe racer project. But with the virago, i like to see those harmonic tubes in front of the right side of the engine. But Thanks for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.

Hello Victor, I am the builder of the second motorcycle, the "Colombian" I am glad that people liked it, there was a small equibocation and I was not named correctly I am Felipe Saldarriaga and gonzalez is my second last name, it is not very important , You can also see my face perofile as Luis Felipe Saldarriaga Gonzalez.

Hello Luis, your modifications on the Virago are absolutely brilliant!
Great bike. I want one.
Nice bike luis!. Saludos de otro Colombiano.
Genial encontrar esto!! El trabajo de este man es impecable y único en Colombia

WOW that flying seat + girders on the second bike!!! You're right, that tank angle is near to perfection. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers.
I too love the "Colombian". It has a brutal efficiency about it that really appeals to me. The angle of the cylinders reminds me of a V8, evocative of power.

Hope i had too.
I am not going to say I've seen better racer tv has showen me the best bikes I've ever seen THANK YOU VERY MUCH

The transition photo: I can't believe how the adjustment is actually so subtle!
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Obrigado por assistir?! Pra nós é sempre um prazer! Parabéns pelo vídeo!
Lol. Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
Those are some sexy looking bikes! Loving the channel dude! It was your small cafe racer videos that inspired me to start building my own!
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Would love to hear your thoughts on my build, Have a look if possible :) much love!
Jish
same here, after watching this channel I built my own racer. Need to change a few things(found better looking parts. but I love these bikes
Is the seat can carry 2 persons?

When you look at the lines and how those modifications alter the bike I can see exactly why you chose Infelix as the better build. Much respect.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.

Uai. Eu aprecio o visual dos projetos, não conheço a fundo a mecânica. Quem sabe aparece uma parceria e complete esta parte. Esperado novo video
hi superb, I like to say you are doing awesome job for riders and mechanics.
Thank you my friend for your kind words. I appreciate your support. :) Cheers.
La segunda moto parece mas agresiva en sus líneas, aunque la primera sus colores se me hacen más elegantes. Tu canal es de lo mejor, saludos!
Gracias amigo por su apoyo. Saludos.
Another therapeutic vid with some beautiful bikes. Hope to see you next week as well!
Thank you my friend for your Kind comment. :) Cheers.
2 very nice Builds awesome job 🙋♂️🇬🇧
Cheers from France it is a lovely bike, I have to say.
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Salute.
O escapamento da Zeus é uma obra de arte mas a segunda me agrada mais. Forte abraço.
Sem duvida. O ideal seria o escapamento da Zeus no projecto colombiano. :) Um abraço.
Parabéns pelos excelentes vídeos, para mim o segundo projeto é mais interessante. Até para a semana
Obrigado amigo. Realmente a avaliar pela maioria dos comentários neste video, parece que a segunda moto é a preferida. :) Um abraço.
Excellent episode, thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
The most impressive part about this video is how fast the dude runs at 7:00
God I love all your videos! Exceptional production. Bless you and this channel. Keep it up.

Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
It looks nice and sounds nice I give it a thumbs up 😁😁

Obrigado amigo pelo comentário. :) Um abraço.
now i need a virago...
Sorry. my fault. Lol. Cheers.
difficult goal to be honest .. complicated custom imho

NIce channel, amazing video and bikes... Subscribed!
Zeus' bike is nice, but the colombian one is a true jewel!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
da FIRENZE Very beautiful
if I want more power/performance wouldn't a four cylinder bike like a Honda cb be a better choice than a virago?
Well, it is not the higher number of cylinders that makes an engine to be more powerful. It is more a matter of personal taste. Personally, i think the V twin engine has the best sound of all. Cheers.
Nice video. Great bikes.
Thank you my friend for your comment. :) Cheers.
What is the cost of this bike project. Is it with in reach of a common person to buy one like this?
Bom dia Victor.
Duas versões de uma mesma moto.
A Virago não seria minha opção para uma customização, mas eu gostei da solução colombiana, principalmente o jogo de cores.
Parabéns pelo vídeo e até a próxima semana!!
Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
ok
I have 2 and sold another 3, so I'm a little bias about loving the virago.
Nice showcase 🤙
Como sempre Fantástico
Obrigado amigo.:) Um abraço.
I think my next project with be a Virago! Just finishing up my 79 cb650!
1st!
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Sempre com ótimo videos, parabéns....
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
I wish my old 81 xv750 was like that.

thanks for the review and helping people show their work to the world.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Please make video about 50cc motorized bicycles! :DDD surfing the internet can be found really beautiful projects! Good projects very small amount.
I appreciate your suggestion, but the truth is, most Racer TV fans prefer to see videos about bigger Cafe Racers. :) Cheers.
OK! Thank you! I understand!)))
Красивый мотоцикл!
Hi mate.
I wonder most ofter, why manufacturers don’t build such magnificent motorcycles. Are these custom bikes have safety and ergonomic as per standards. ? I dont know though.
Both very nice work ! Good idea, great vid as usual ! ; )
Thank you. As usual, I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
superb video!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
I liked Number 2 the best.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
the xv750 virago or the cx 500 ? I can't decide which i like the best.
What to choose as a future project with monoshock cx or virago?
They are good, Spains a bit rough round the edges, but overall well done, the tank seat level is the hardest thing depending on the stance of the bike,and if youve ever done it, its not easy, it should be! I have two, XV750 83 with CBR1100 forks, and XV1000 with VTR1000 forks. I dont like USD forks on a classic looking bike, just personal preference. If you like Showa forks on these bikes its not that hard, only have to extend the stem an inch or so and the lower bearing is the same, all balls have a top end one avail. Still a long wheelbase virago in handling, but great for the ego! I dont think you need pillion pegs on the XV920 with that seat! BTW the XV920, that was the XV1000 in australia, it wasnt called the TR1 or anything, just came out in chain or shaft drive. More shaft drive ones about.
Excelente que belleza....
shafty-cafs are for pics only.
road racers don't squat in turns.
chain drives only!
How much is something like that?? And where can I get one??
wow so amazing looking
Buena por los Colombianos sigan asi.
Gracias amigo. Saludos.
Obrigado pela informação, vou verificar !
De nada. :) Um abraço.
Superb
A great transformation of two of the ugliest bikes into real beauties! Brilliant examples of improvement, thanks for posting 👍👍🏁
Thank you my friend for sharing your usual opinion. :) Cheers.
una hermosura de motocicleta en verdad muy linda me enomore de inmediato
very nice project.
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Tem gente que não sabe brincar mesmo hahah
Muito perfeita.
Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
that exhaust is a beauty :D
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
thank you for showing those great bikes :)
do you think.it is possible to built a good cafe racer without cutting the frame?
its because i don't want to cut the frame of my cj 250 cause its in.an exzellent shape.
yes, it is perfectly possible to create a good cafe racer with that CJ 250, and without cutting the frame. Try to search on youtube for "Honda CB 125 Cafe Racer", and you will find several of my videos about that model. Cheers.
SPLENDID !
Fantastic
Very good
well i tried to bend stainless steel sheets and realized it's a though metal to be malleable.. any recommendations?
find out from Your st/st supplier which grade is more malleable. It obviously also depends on how much You want to "deform" the sheet. You might have to do the "deformation" in steps and by annealing the st/st after every step to reduce the inherit hardening due to the deformation. For the appropriate temps for the annealing best consult Your supplier.
How do they make the middle part of the grame black? and the cilinder heads grey/silver? are those polished or painted?
After painting the cylinders, the cylinder heads are sanded until the aluminium emerge. Cheers.
thanks mate! love your channel btw
Thanks.
You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers.

Where do you buy the parts for these builds I have a virago
