- Hello everyone and welcome back to a new video! In today's video we will start working on my 1981 Honda CB650 cafe racer build. 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 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!
This vintage honda motorcycle build will be one of a kind, so make sure to subscribe and stay tuned! More content to come on this 1981 Honda CB650 cafe racer / vintage honda motorcycle build!

Your bike is absolutely beautiful, I am watching this video because I want to do EXACTLY this to my 81’ 650, thank you for the video this was very helpful!
Awesome man! Glad the video helped. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to reach out here or on IG 👍 thanks for watching!
Those tires are fine. I love those rims too what an awesome bike man I hate being broke
If you hang with your dog you score an A+!
Always a great time with a doggo lol
man the bike is coming along, the seat is amazing can't wait for more so keep up.
Thanks man! More content to come for sure 👍
@@TheBSRecord Glad to hear that, usually projects comes with a lot of problems, just take it easy and don't give up. and I'm happy to support the channel, hopefully in the near future you get thousands of subs because the content is just brilliant.
Thanks buddy! I really appreciate the kind words man!
Beautiful bike, man!
Thanks buddy! 👍
I just picked up an 81 Cb 650 custom as my first project bike to see what I can do with it. I'll definitely be following going forward. I have blown fork seals too so I'll know to watch of for those clips.
Nice pickup! I'll be posting part 2 this week! Goodluck with your project and hopefully my vids help you out a bit. Thanks for watching!
Good work. I love that seat. btw... That smaller tube you welded inside the butt joint is often called a slug.
Awesome thanks for the clarification on that piece, I knew it was named something specific lol
Seat looks good! I ended up using the Seat Factory which is another good source for custom seats if you're not wanting to make your own custom one! 🤘👌
Super cool, thanks for the comment! Your bike looks great too 👍
@@TheBSRecord Thanks bro!
Hello, to raise forks higher up the triple tree, try some handle bar riser, and flatter handle bars, good project.
Sorry for the late reply, but thanks for the suggestion!
Great video, I’m hopefully gunna be getting my 81 cb650c running soon. It has a cbr front end. Forks, upper and lower triple trees, wheel….. don’t even know the front part year so getting parts and specs is difficult. You’re doin great on that bike. Keep it up 👍
Thanks man, yours sounds like it is going to turn out awesome! Good luck with your build!
@@TheBSRecord thanks once I can get to it it’ll be another poor man build on my channel lol. Was trying to find a seat like yours to fit the funky frame lol.
1st time viewer here…. I have 1983 Honda CX650 Custom you can see here on TH-cam… I’m wanting to do something along line like this.. Yours looks good 👍
Thanks for tuning in, I hope you enjoyed it. Good luck with your project man!
Yeah I got change my seals also … when I got my bike 2019 it had been in storage since 1998 & had the original tires from 1983 on it…. Changed fluids & plugs & fired rt up…
It's a very clean looking bike, should be a fun project 👍
Would you happen to have a link where you pick up the hoop?
Hey boss! Looks great. Since the 1980 CB650 (not custom) doesn't have that bracket you sawed off, would this seat fit that frame without modification you think?
Thanks! Honestly I'm not sure, you could try reaching out to texavina and ask. I bet they could help 👍
Just got passed down a really nice cb650 and I want to do exactly what you’re doing in this video. How long are the shocks you ordered?
Eye to clevis is 14 3/8" 👍 I got them from 4into1(dot)com.
Hey man I’m doing a similar build what rear suspension did you go with?
Black performance shocks from 4into1(dot)com. Eye to clevis is 14 3/8" 👍
Do you know if the seat you bought will fit the Honda nighthawk cb650sc ??
I'm not sure. I think the nighthawk used a different frame and gastank, so fitment is probably off a bit. Hope this helps!
Does anyone know where to get this seat?? The link doesn't work. They aren't on Amazon.
I got it from a website called texavina, thanks for watching!
Nice work ! How wide was that seat hoop ??
The seat hoop is about 8" wide from the center line if the hoop on the left side to the center line of the hoop on the right. Hope this helps!
Would you happen remember where you got the regulator? I need one myself
Regulator/rectifier? I got it from 4into1(dot)com, it's Rick's Motorsport Electrics branded. Hope this helps 👍
@@TheBSRecord awesome man thank you! I’m rebuilding a 81 myself and I haven’t found a good website for parts besides eBay lol. Will definitely be using them.
is the bc650 seat same as the cm400?????????
They look similar but I don't think they are 100% the same.
Did you buy that seat loop or did you cut it yourself?
The seat loop came with the seat, I then cut it to fit right and welded it in 😁
@@TheBSRecord wait texavina sends a seat loop with it?? I ordered one off their eBay profile and am currently just trynna prepare everything for it so when it comes in i can instal fairly quick
@@loganhatcher2098 I bought my seat off of their website and a frame hoop was included. It needed to be cut to size, but it came with it. However, this is just my experience, I would shoot them a message and ask of they include one or not.
Can you give link for your seat please
I tried all kinds of commercial cleaners, and guess what? Vinegar, salt, and flour gets rid of all the junk.
Thanks for the tip, I'll have to try it out 👍
Video is good you just talk too much
Thanks for the feedback 👍
@@TheBSRecord i love how much info you have don’t listen to him lmao
Thanks buddy, I apprechiate it!
