2:11 “and thats when VTEC kicks in yooo” Love it dude! My dad has a old (metallic blue) 1980 CB650. And I’m trying to get it to run again! Idk if I’ll keep it stock. But it needs a fresh exhaust. My dad modified it already when he was young. I feel like its my turn now 👀
I think the custom version of the CB650 is not worth keeping it stock. She is just too ugly xD realize your dream and build your perfect 80s oldschool cafe/brat racer which you will love and keep it as a memory and honor to you dad. Just do it bro ❤️
Yes and I shortened the maximum travel of the fork internally. So the front got pre compressed around 60mm which made it stiffer and harder. Better for racing without changing the look of the bike
Yes there is some head porting done and new standard bore pistons but still the originally big cam. I made a vid where all modifications are listed 🙂Next step is to regrind the cam
@@SuuperSXV great job, seems like it really pulls. Mine is a CB650 custom, still working on it to run then see how i can modify the dynamics to be a cafe racer rather than a cruiser
@@hsdlive this is the same bike, it is a bit of work to get the softchopper transformed into a light cafe racer. Shorten and stiffer your fork, get longer shocks in the back and try to install a steering damper because your steering head angle will be to aggressive and dangerous in fast corners. And don't use retro tires like all cafe racer, they drive terrible, no sidewalls no grip - just show and shine.
@@SuuperSXV Thank you so much! So I got the progressive suspension just ordered. mine was already tried to be a cafe racer by the previous owner but I doubt he did anything other than cosmetics. I got the vintage Japanese-style rear shocks but not yet installed (340mm)-13.4", I think I can swap them for the longer 14.4". Can I connect with you to share some pictures?
what tires are you running in the back, the previous owner had Bridgestone 100/90/19 front and 130/90/16. they do need replacements so I'm looking for good tires to swap them out with. unfortunately Michelin pilot activ don't do 16s. so I'll have to look for something else.
The exhaust header are stock, the H Pipe is modified to a bigger outlet diameter and 4 conic short mufflers with lots of special insulation wool to get this nice deep tone at low rpm :)
@@SuuperSXV Any changes or just reversed the shock absorbers with the caliper? Does it brake better or is it the same? It looks interesting anyway. THX
@@anthograham No i took a battery with other dimensions, smaller in the width but higher, to fit under the swingarm and replace the center stand. The ignition system and the generator dont work without voltage, so if your small lithium battery died you are not able to start the engine. To much risk in my opinion.
@@andresacosta7381 yes the cv carbs are a nightmare to tune it perfectly. I will give you a short rundown of my mods. After 1 year of adjustment it finally running perfect. Setup: optimized pod filter with short velocity stack insinde, lite porting on the head and a 4 in 4 open exhaust. You need to shorten the carb springs around 3 turnings, then you need to raise the needle with shims around 3-4mm, to fit the new position of the needle you need to slitly drill holes in the bold which holds the needle in place. The hole must be a bit bigger then the needle head and the shims. The needle on this carbs needs to move free but not in the height. You can use jb weld to fill the drilled bolds and after that to make it fit perfect. I'm running a 150 main jet. Take care of the cheap pod filter because they close the important holes in the front of this cv carbs which a necessary to move the slider. You can search here on yt how to drill the bolds because a lot of harley bikes using this trick on their cv carbs.
@@SuuperSXV what did you do to fit the cone silencers? I believe the stock exhaust is fully welded. Did you cut off stock silencers and then use “bell adapters” to slip on new silencers - or - weld on new ones? I got myself in a rut with my exhaust system. I am inspired by your build and would like to do something similar. Awesome ride! I think 150+ of your views are mine 😂
Wanted to keep the original style of this bike which came with a 4-4 and the crazy sound, deep tone like a V engine at low rpm and high screaming at high rpm :)

Wow ,bike looks and sounds amazing ,finally a video of a 650 being ridden properly 🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥
Beautiful bike dude! Sounds incredible

Can you make a video of all the mods and how much they cost
3 words, I LOVE IT!
I'm impressed. I've always heard that pods on CV carbs were hard to tune.
Yes they are hard to tune because you need to understand how they work but its not that bad :) if they are tuned properly they run great
@@SuuperSXV did you modified the Carbs so you could fit the Pods? how did you get clearance between the pods and the frame?
@@diegoterraza7232 I'm fighting that right now on mine. What a drag
Hi. Love the bike!
Were did you buy your seat? And were did you cut the frame?
I would love to see a detailed walkthrough, or a build video.
beautiful machine man. do you have a list of all the changes you made? picking up a 1981 rc03 this weekend
I'm building this beauty the last 3 years. Its a lot xD maybe i'll make some kind of build video.
Well, that was awesome!
So did you just adjust the location of the front suspension tubes in the crown to lower the front end?? Thanks
Yes and I shortened the maximum travel of the fork internally. So the front got pre compressed around 60mm which made it stiffer and harder. Better for racing without changing the look of the bike
How did you get the pod filters to work my bike wont run with them on
Where did you get the honda cover that covers up the old bar mounts?
Yeah I need one of those too now
amazing build. did you do any modifications to the engine?
Yes there is some head porting done and new standard bore pistons but still the originally big cam. I made a vid where all modifications are listed 🙂Next step is to regrind the cam

What did you use for the exhaust? It sounds perfect
The exhaust header are stock, the H Pipe is modified to a bigger outlet diameter and 4 conic short mufflers with lots of special insulation wool to get this nice deep tone at low rpm :)
@@SuuperSXV sounds great
Why did you mount the calipers upside down ?! .... Some changes need to be made. THX
Because of better cooling, it changed a lot
@@SuuperSXV Any changes or just reversed the shock absorbers with the caliper? Does it brake better or is it the same? It looks interesting anyway. THX
@@cristianstanila1635 you need to switch them and turn them 180 degrees. I didn't noticed any change of breakpower just the positiv cooling effect :)
Where did u get the exhaust
Is that custom exhaust? I have the same bike and on my 3 exhaust set up
The exhaust header are stock, the H Pipe is modified to a bigger outlet diameter.
красиво и круто!
nice track
Good driver!!
MY MAN!!!!
Thank you.
Great build! just made a video on my 1982 650 nighthawk cafe racer build on my channel, Check it out!
Gracias
Did you lower the front forks or just move the triple tree down?
I did both
SuuperSXV Did you also switch your battery to a Lithium-ion to get the frame empty?
@@anthograham No i took a battery with other dimensions, smaller in the width but higher, to fit under the swingarm and replace the center stand. The ignition system and the generator dont work without voltage, so if your small lithium battery died you are not able to start the engine. To much risk in my opinion.
WOW
Hallo, ist das der originale Rc05 Rahmen? Vg
Ja ist der Rc05 Rahmen :)
Is she running with the factory ignition system?
Yes it runs great with it :)
Hermosa
What size jets are you using? My bike has the same carbs.
Currently 150 main jet, standart idle jet, shorter spring and modified needle.
@@SuuperSXV did yours come with air forks from the factory? Awesome sounding bike by the way and she looks stunning!
@@Oblivionchampion no she came with oil forks, it was easy to shorten the fork with tube spacers to get a lower ride hight
@@SuuperSXV I've heard CV carbs don't work with pods. Did you just put in new mains and it ran fine, or something else?
@@andresacosta7381

What year is your bike?
It's a cb650c rc05 1981
Max speed?
227km/h on my speedometer but its not as accurate as gps :)
@@SuuperSXV Beautiful!!
Top speed?
Around 220km/h :)
@@SuuperSXV I have a similar motorcycle, but it doesn't run as much 🤣. Honda cb650 nighthawk 1982
Keep tuning it bro 😂❤️
Pipe?
Factory headers, modified H pipes with 4 standard reverse cone muffler :)

Did you put the dual disks on the front?
Yes, the cooling is much better and my brake fading problem (when i was hunting some sportbikes at the mountains xD) is gone.
