This vintage Honda motorcycle was gifted to me on my birthday last year and I have had plans to build it into a cafe racer / brat style / scrambler build.
Unfortunately, one of the biggest issues with a 1981 honda cb650 ( specifically a honda cb650 custom ) is that the frame has a weird "bend" in it. This makes it especially hard when trying to figure out how to mount a cafe racer seat hoop in preparation for a cafe racer style seat. Fabricating a diy cafe racer seat hoop / cafe racer frame hoop will be a bit tricky, but here at thebsrecord diy how to projects are our specialty. I think we can figure it out!

I'm so happy the shocks worked for you. I have an 81 CB650 with a Texavina seat and ran into the same issue with my rear hoop. Ordered 14.5 inch shocks that just arrived. So relieved you haven't experienced any bottoming out.
@thatdeadbird_llc thanks! I will say the shock are a bit stiff but I would rather not bottom out haha. I was thinking of trying to incorporate a hard stop just in case.
The quad exhaust really makes the bike pop, other than the gas tank color and the stiff shocks, this is a pretty good looking cafe racer.
Thanks man! I agree the quad exhausts are really growing on me!
looking forward for the honda elite project, so keep it up.
@@FrostyLucas definitley! I've been working on it and will be posting a vid on it next!
Instead of holding the choke, when you cold started, give it a few pumps of gas and it starts right up
Great video. Just bought an '81 CB650 custom. Wasn't sure if I would do a cafe, but after watching you're build, I might. Thanks so much.
Thanks man! glad to hear you may be going that way :D
love the bike and the ride along
Thanks for always tuning in man!!
...and the handlebar link is in the description. My bad!! Carry on!!
No prob man, hope it helps. Loving the handlebars so far 👍
The bike looks great man!
Thanks man! I think it turned out pretty good too!
Can you take an exhaust video from an outside perspective of the bike? I’d love to hear it!
miss you and the 86 my guy. i know you burnt out..i get it hahaha.. took me 3 years to rebuild mine to get back to "daily" driveable
Ah dang right in the feelz hahaha 😆 I still have the 86 and I promise it will get done. We are looking to move soon and the car has to get out of the garage, so I will be back on it soonish for sure hahaha.
hello
I'm Hernando, your video is great
I am from Cali Colombia Latin America, I am restoring a 1972 Honda CB500 four motorcycle, but it has a CB650 SHOWA 460-841 front suspension similar to the one in the video, in my country it is very difficult to get parts and I am searching on eBay but it has not been easy, I would appreciate your help, sharing the link or the eBay seller where you got the 37-50-11 oil seals and dust seal.
I would greatly appreciate your help and guidance and to be able to buy the right seals for the motorcycle.
Hey man, thanks for the comment! I bought all of the seals and dust covers from a company called 4into1. You can go to their website, 4into1(dot)com, and see if they have the right parts for your build! Hope this helps!
Cool bike but….. what about the AE86????
It's coming back! My buddy let me ride in his this past weekend. I need to get mine finished!
With a electronic ignition you should be able to rev up to 11,000
Beautiful daily runner build friend!
Questions if I may:
1. Where did you get the gauges, and are the 4 lights integrated therein? (Neutral, Hi Beams, Oil, Turn)
2. How did you wire up a license plate light?
Thank you!
Thanks man! I got the gauges off Dime City Cycles:
- 2.5" Black Mini Tachometer w/ Black Face - (1:4 Ratio)
- 2.5" Black Mini Speedometer w/ Black Face & LED Indicator Lights
The license plate light has the positive wire running to one of the main connectors in the wiring harness. It just needs to be hooked up to keyed 12v. Hope this help!
Any updates with the 86?
I still have it but haven't done much with it since the last video. I got a bit burnt out to be honest. But with that being said I should be getting back in it soon 👍
Hi there, first off, love the way the bike came out. I have a CB650c 1980 that I am sorting out. One thing I want to do is replace the handle bar to the one you have. If possible, can you send me the nMe of the one you added to your CB? Thanks for the time
Thanks man! I am pretty sure I linked the bars in the video description. If I recall correctly, they were called EMGO bars of amazon.
I’d love to do this to my 81’. So for the LED turn signals, did you need a relay? Not sure what I need to get.
cool gas tank, you painted iy yourself?
Nope I didn't paint the tank. I want to redo it a bit later on for sure. Or find a nice oem one 👍
any updates on the AE86 ?
Sorry, late reply here. I still got it, just a bit burnt out on it to be honest. I'll be getting back on it soonish though!
can you link the hoop frame?
Sooooo, 86?
Definitely making a comeback. I've got a couple videos backlogged, but then I will post an update on the AE86 and finally finish the engine bay!
Also thanks for sticking around! haha
21:45 everyone needs to call that company and complain about the pollution the truck just spat out and him almost hitting a biker and changeing lanes no signal smh the irony that its a pollution control company smfh id sue them tbh that diesel smoke causes cancer
Great bike. But man you love to talk and talk 🤣. Can't stand guys that need to over explain and talk the ENTIRE time. Just chill bro
Haha thanks for the comment. I can get going at times but that's just who I am lol. Thame for watching 👍
people still cut these bikes and make them look like crap
To each their own! I personally think it looks better after replacing the rear fender and seat, but I understand it isn't everyones cup of tea. Thanks for tuning in and watching though!
