Brother I have to tell you that that seat is by far one of the most badass cowled seats that I have seen on a 750, absolutely very very well-made brother, and even matching with the tank with that centerpiece raised up slightly higher than the actual cow itself is just icing on the cake man, when I say it looks perfect I mean it absolutely looks perfect, that has to be one of the best-looking Cafe cowld seats I have seen so far on TH-cam, no bulshit brother, very very well-made my man, great job!!! You're seriously inspired me to try to make one of my own for my CB750, thank you for the video brother
Those are awesome bikes! Thanks for the helpful video! I'm building my own cafe racer from a 1979 KZ1000 shaft. I was stressing over seat making, but those few images really helped me out!
willythewave that's awesome, I decided to do more of a brat bike now, but yeah it's going to be a beast. I have everything torn apart now, getting ready to paint it.
Great Video and Great Café Racers !!! Only thing I'd change if I built one would be to have an exhaust pipe on both sides, I just love the Old School Symmetry !!!
Great video and very impressive work on all of the bikes. I have a 1979 CB650 cafe project working, and a 1978 Suzuki GS1000 daily rider. Your video makes me want to work a lot faster to get my cafe racer done. Thanks.
Your video is not only inspirational, but a great edition and composing work too. Bike transformations are amazing, specially the brown ilove it. Just bought a R100 '83 a week ago and i hope to do a nice transfprmation too, thanks for the video ;)
Cool.I have a lot of friends who is building cafe racers at the time from old Japanese bikes. I understand if you want to keep your Triumph original. It's a nice bike standard.
great video , about how much would go into making a cafe racer if im able to pick it a ..let say cb500 that is running, i would try to do all the work my self.
Very good, a nice way to do a video as well with all the inter-cutting between the build pictures, makes it all more interesting. I envy you the space to do such things, some people might be bale to do something like this in a back garden, but it's beyond my skills and energy, not to mention pocket. Like it anyway, despite my envy,
Thanks alot. Yes, its great to build in a warm garage when it´s winter and cold outside :) But I´ve seen that the passion in building can make a man forget about the cold if building outside. Some of the guys I know stands in cold garages and passionate about the projects. Respect!
It's true, I didn't used to mind being out in my cold shed, doing things although it was no a big shed it was ig enough for a work bench and working on one bike, just. I don't have that anymore though, just a small walled garden. My health is not the best either, given a nice big garage, even a cold one, I might be tempted as I'd want the space and being out oft he rain, but the best i can manage these days is to keep what I have running as best I can and as cheaply as possible. I know what I'd be doing with a decent lottery win though, and it wouldn't be sunning myself on a beach. I have my eye on several houses, with outbuildings or big garages, well a man can dream I guess.
very good job, but that sense does restore a classic 70's with a 40's style. For that, you would have sought a Norton, or BSA Horex. The style of these honda frame a very important era.
Great vid, great bikes! I was however scratching my head wondering why you replaced those Marzocchi Strada piggyback bladder nitro shocks with a cheaper emulsion type? Marzocchi's are fully rebuildable & would be far better for similar money. Heck, I'd buy em if you weren't using them!
The material is floral foam. It is used at the base of floral arrangements. You just poke the flowers into it and it holds them in place. I used the same material to shape the seat cowl for my cafe racer. Very cheap, very easy to work with.
And those tires are very low power specification for that bike, you had were correct. In the 70's and the tires were radials. These cute old tires have nothing to do with a bike from the 70's. are a motorcycle from the 40's. It's the same 10 or 20 horsepower, that 50 or 70 horsepower.
Flot arbejde både med motorcykler og video til stor inspiration! Nogen forslag til hvordan man starter, hvis man ikke har meget kendskab det tekniske? Er det muligt alene med stof fra internettet, eller må man alliere sig med f.eks. en mekaniker, der har erfaringen?
its really really hard for my country to have a old bike like this and really expensive to buy the bike and spare parts but there're a lot of yamaha rxz's but i dont really like tha 2 stroke like sound
I had a 1979 Yamaha xs 650 2 stroke once. The sound was pretty cool as I remember, but it's all a matter of taste. I've seen a lot of them build as cafe racers. Not bad ;-)
Why do Americans make the rear end of cafe racers so low? There is about 1 inch of travel if that. These things aren't just for show, the cafe racer is meant to handle really good, in fact it should handle as good as it looks
Hey Jeremy. A 79' KZ1000 is great for a cafe racer project. I'm glad you can use the video constructively. The seat is a challenge and takes time. But once you're up and running, it's great fun. Enjoy ♣
The material for the seat is called "Oasis". The same as used to make flower arrangements. Available as blocks. Glue them together. Then cut with a knife and polished by sandpaper.
Hello and thanks. The shape of the seat I have made (seen in the video) imagination limits how the shape ends up being :-) I just thought it was fun to make the seat from scratch.
Hey Carlos. The tires are quite fine to drive. However, it must be said that I have not challenged the tires by putting me way down in the turns :) That could be a problem !
Nice build!... Watching all of these home builders has inspired me to start my own project.
Brother I have to tell you that that seat is by far one of the most badass cowled seats that I have seen on a 750, absolutely very very well-made brother, and even matching with the tank with that centerpiece raised up slightly higher than the actual cow itself is just icing on the cake man, when I say it looks perfect I mean it absolutely looks perfect, that has to be one of the best-looking Cafe cowld seats I have seen so far on TH-cam, no bulshit brother, very very well-made my man, great job!!!

Joe Deleon thanks😉👍🏻🤘🏻

I had a 1979 KZ 1000 shaft. That will make one great café racer!
willythewave that's awesome, I decided to do more of a brat bike now, but yeah it's going to be a beast. I have everything torn apart now, getting ready to paint it.
WOW Super cool bikes,, I will start look for a bike to rebuild right away,,
Great Video and Great Café Racers !!!
Only thing I'd change if I built one would be to have an exhaust pipe on both sides, I just love the Old School Symmetry !!!
Beautiful, just beautiful! Adding it to my favorites list. Amazing job!
Great video and very impressive work on all of the bikes. I have a 1979 CB650 cafe project working, and a 1978 Suzuki GS1000 daily rider. Your video makes me want to work a lot faster to get my cafe racer done. Thanks.
Awesome :-)
One if the best instructional and motivational videos I have ever seen. Well done.
Great Job with both the Bike and the Video
Nice video, nice motorcycles, nice bikers! Thanks!! This video is the best!
Your video is not only inspirational, but a great edition and composing work too.
Bike transformations are amazing, specially the brown ilove it.
Just bought a R100 '83 a week ago and i hope to do a nice transfprmation too, thanks for the video ;)
Thank's. Yes it's great fun to build. Hope to see a lot of cafe racers on the road next summer:-) Good luck with your project.
Schönes Video, super Bikes !!! Geiler Sound . . .
Tack för en jäkligt bra cafe racer video,nu går jag ut till garaget och gör färdig min honda sevenfifty.
I have a triumph, I'm thinking about building my cafe from a honda cb, thanks for making this
Cool.I have a lot of friends who is building cafe racers at the time from old Japanese bikes. I understand if you want to keep your Triumph original. It's a nice bike standard.

Hot little cafe racer. Love those.

That´s right :)
Well, I hope you find yourself af place with a nice garage. It´s to hard to live without :)
MrJosiasen
Thank you, maybe one day. In the end you can only live in hope and do your best, keep up the good work.
Very cool !
Esta super chingona la marrón tengo una sportster pero ya quiero Honda CB750 para hacerla igualita a la marrón desde mexico
surely this video is very inspirational...it make's it look so easy!

awesome video
Thanks Carlos :-)
Fantastic film
Very nice video. Can someone tell me which materials used to make the solo seat?
where did you get the foam to make the seat? and amazing bike!
The material is called floral foam :)

Great vid, great bikes! I was however scratching my head wondering why you replaced those Marzocchi Strada piggyback bladder nitro shocks with a cheaper emulsion type? Marzocchi's are fully rebuildable & would be far better for similar money. Heck, I'd buy em if you weren't using them!
Nice build! I was just wondering how those firestone tires handle? How they do on the curves?
Good👍
Wow I love this video. Hopefully I can build my own cafe racer =)
Great 👍
Very very nice! What did you wrap the upper forks with and what paint was used on the engine?
at 4:37 what kind of paint did you use for the engine? i heard aluminum is kinda tricky to paint, also it has to be high temp paint!
Thanks!
Hey, can you tell me how you installed the cafe seat that you made?
Thanks!
sweet!! thx for sharing!!
The 13 th is the best, and it's a very good job that you did !
thanks.
what is the name of the material used to make the solo seat? i mean that green spongy thing that you use to mold the fiber glass?
Sådan mester... snart 81.000 visninger... 👍 Stadig en klassiker.... 💯
Thomas Holbech nu over 152.000😁
a very beautiful bike
Thanks
Good job!!:):P)!!
Beautiful bikes !! Did you do anything to the forks or are they stock length?
You can indicate a good place to buy used bikes?
fede motorcykler respekt :)
Yes the seat it amazing but where did you buy the foam from? What kind of foam is it?
The material is called floral foam :)
www.save-on-crafts.com/floralfoams.html
wooooooow!
this inspired me.
very good !!! so cool .
how did you mount the seat?
hello...what is the name of the green material you are using to model the tale (solo seat part) ? thanks
The material is floral foam. It is used at the base of floral arrangements. You just poke the flowers into it and it holds them in place. I used the same material to shape the seat cowl for my cafe racer. Very cheap, very easy to work with.
thanks :D
Très beau travail .
beautiful machine. superb work.
thanks.
And a sticker!
top video!!!
Very Nice!
I am looking for a taillight (with licenseplate holder) like yours, on the Honda 750 four, where did you buy it? :)
Hey nvanderwee. I bent the licenseplate holder my self of stainless plate
Nice ! where can i get more photos of cb 650 ? ;)
The honda 650 is sold. I only have the pics on the video. Sorry☺
I drenge sku kom til The Castle Run i den sidst weekend i maj, krenkerup brewery på Lolland. Vi kan snak cafe racers :-)
Tak. Det vil vi lige undersøge :-)

This is like mistaking a Juan Manuel Fangio to Ayrton Senna. hahaha.
What songs you used ? :D
Tak for det =:)
Jøss. Er vel første gangen jeg ser en skikkelig norsk mc-video på tuben! Fint arbeid.
Den er dansk. Men tak for det alligevel :-)
Havde du problemer med syn efter ændringerne i stellet?
Jeg synede den inden ombygningen for at undgå problemer. Men jeg har ladet mig fortælle, at den sagtens kan synes til trods for en ændret bagende.
its really really hard for my country to have a old bike like this and really expensive to buy the bike and spare parts but there're a lot of yamaha rxz's but i dont really like tha 2 stroke like sound

even the 2 stroke here are really hard to find one that can make a cafe racer type. i cant buy the 2 stroke or my neighbors hate me
Total fed kværn, og da jeg opdager at du er dansker, bliver den B
Why do Americans make the rear end of cafe racers so low? There is about 1 inch of travel if that. These things aren't just for show, the cafe racer is meant to handle really good, in fact it should handle as good as it looks
Another really interesting bike video ruined by its soundtrack.
Rumble is a great song! I do understand your hate though haha
Hey Jeremy. A 79' KZ1000 is great for a cafe racer project. I'm glad you can use the video constructively. The seat is a challenge and takes time. But once you're up and running, it's great fun. Enjoy ♣
Hey McLuvin.
Awesome. Good luck with the project :-)
Thanks. The forks are wrapped with cotton tape, also used for handlebars. The engine is painted with a special racing paint that withstands heat.
The material for the seat is called "Oasis". The same as used to make flower arrangements. Available as blocks. Glue them together. Then cut with a knife and polished by sandpaper.
Hello and Thanks. The forks is not changed in length. They are only refreshed at the outer :-)
Hello and thanks. The shape of the seat I have made (seen in the video) imagination limits how the shape ends up being :-) I just thought it was fun to make the seat from scratch.
Thanks alot Tad :-)
sinnsykt bra!! dere må hjelpe meg med en men må være 1000cc. CBfour
