Am building 1st and just getting shop together , figuring out whats next hope to see more soon , have also been watching other videos - am really looking forward to MY Café bike !
Good video man. Had a question. Going to order new grips for 78 cb750. Do I need to also get new throttle handle? Or will new grip fit over throttle handle? Thanks
Thanks for sharing your videos. Lots of good info. Do you think the LED strip would've looked ok just stuck on the hoop and basically tucked right up against the seat? I don't really like the idea of just taping those on the hoops but with the seat overhang and the hoop eventually black it might've looked pretty seamless and not as clunky as one might think. Also, I wonder if you could've gotten away with cutting/grinding a little slit in the hoop where you mounted that round tail light. Could've gotten it tucked in more tight. Probably still have issue with wire, unless you drilled a hole in the hoop for that. Anyway, just my two cents. Thanks again for taking the time to make the videos.
I looking into that but I wasn't confident enough that it would have turned out as I planned. I would have loved to integrate it into the hoop. Maybe on the next one. Thanks for watching.
amzn.to/2e1j5De These are the indicators I used. They are designed to mount where there is a hole for the mount to go through. Depending on what you have to work with you might be able to get away with just drilling a hole into something and mounting them that way.
I'm enjoying the vids thanks but I have a couple of Q's you might be able to help me with as I am finding it difficult to get answers else where. Do you know if CB550 wheels fit a 1976 CB400 super sport, its a long shot question but if the answer is no then I can just move on with the exiting wheels and forget about trying
I don't know off hand. If I had to guess I would think they would. If you need any measurements off of my wheels let me know and I can get them for you.
I'm using the factory gas cap with a new latch from Joker Machine. www.amazon.com/Joker-Machine-Honda-Cb750-12-041B/dp/B00G9CS1U4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469845390&sr=8-1&keywords=joker+machine+gas+latch
I ordered it on Ebay. The one I got is a universal one and i'm not sure of the brand. I know Drag Specialities makes some that are very similar. With and without the warning lights. Just make sure to get the correct ratio (2240:60 for Honda's)
Ha, sorry this was one of my early videos before I had my new camera.I was using a GoPro with no screen on the back so I had to guess what was in the shot.
you can't start a bike like that with a button... theres the kickstart for a reason...... to make you look fokin badass when you get on your bike after throwing a cigarrete...... Great bike by the way, great project, but it bugs me that you will start a motor like that with a button as if it was a delicate princess..... good rides anyway, the bike still kicks ass
binge watching this series. Im enjoying it. Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
same, i do it for a living but its great watching others at work, may have to start my own channel!

I’m watching all of your old videos, and I’d like to know where you got the switches for your lights at. If you can even still get them.
you could ove cut a hole in the seat and put the brake light in the hole and put the wires under the seat
Maybe it would have been to big of a hole? idk

Links to the kill switch, start button, & handle bar switches?
Hi there! Did u think about installing a motogadget m-unit? I read about it, and it seems to clean the whole cable mess up pretty good.. ?

cool thanks
taping them works a treat, i was sceptical too but it works well and allows for future style changes and easy replacement if it breaks
Hey like the vids, curious what blinkers are those? Also any ideas on how to mount them without having a welder would be nice too lol.

Classic Octane Thanks man much appreciated!

Did you have to put in a resistor to get the LED blinkers to work? Have the same ones but having problems with them.
You will need to change out the flasher relay to one designed for LEDs this is the one I use amzn.to/2iTkt7E
Is there a specific flasher relay that i need for my Honda or can any work. as well as where did you get your THANKS!!!
amzn.to/2oYlrBY Here you go.
i know its late but.... put the strip led light in the seat....
Where did you get that break light?
It's a universal light off of ebay or amazon that came with the license place mount. I cut it in half and welded it to the hoop
Where did you get the gas cap?
I'm using the factory gas cap with a new latch from Joker Machine.

Where'd you get the speedo, and what was the brand?

+Classic Octane thanks man! Great job on the build series, loving it!
Show us what you're pointing at... lol
