You have no idea about the work i had to find this Honda CB 500.
It was almost like finding a needle, in a straw barn.
But i think really worth the effort.
This 1971 Honda CB 500, was made by Mike Le, from Kinetic Motorcycles in Houston.
Enjoy.

saiba que os brasileiros admiram muito seu canal !!!! parabéns RACER TV o melhor canal de café racer do mundo
+Luiz Otavio Boldrin Muito obrigado amigo pela simpatia. Devo dizer que no inicio, quando comecei a colocar legendas em Português, não vi grande adesão por parte dos Brasileiros. Mas nos últimos meses, já comecei a sentir o Vosso apoio em peso. :) Muito obrigado pelo apoio. Um abraço.
Verdade... nós eu gostei tanto que fiz uma para minha namorada a partir de uma cg 125 99 e se tornou uma referencia aqui na minha cidade... tudo graças as inspirações do RACER TV... obrigado
I watch this video everytime i remember this bike.
I think that is not just a motorcycle, but a source of inspiration.
Thanks for making Racer TV!
+Guilherme Hermes Tiné De Carvalho I understand your perspective. This is one of those bikes that shows how gorgeous a simple project can be. :) Thanks for sharing your comment. Cheers.
pra mim e o melhor canal de motocicleta cafe do planeta!!!!!!!!
Obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um abraço.
I been looking for this bike for the longest time, I been wanting to build a cafe racer but ever since I saw this one I felt in live with it. This is what I want to build.
samuel diaz I see that you also had some difficulties to find this bike. I'm glad you liked. Good luck for your project. Cheers.
i think i watched this Video over 100times. now i have a 1974 cb500 with this fuel tank and Suspension kit. cant wait for the first ride
hello from austria
patrick sengfried I'm glad for you. I'm also glad by knowing that this video was helpful to you. Good luck. Cheers.
Where did you find the tank?
O assento é algo genial, do mais bem conseguido que já vi. Resulta na prefeição com o ar "vazio" da traseira.
I love this bike and first saw a picture of it and fell in love with it i am currently building a yamaha rs 100 cafe race at the min
Hi was sent a picture of this bike 6 months ago and couldnt find anything on her till i came across racer tv and i fell in love with this bike so beautiful
sidney williams It seems we face the same situation about this bike. It wasn't easy to find it. I'm glad you like it. Cheers.
Thank you for your efforts in tracking down this bike. Merry Christmas!

Vejo este canal várias vezes e só agora é que descobri que eras Português!

Vikesh Narotam Pensei que fosse um pouco mais óbvio devido à existência das legendas em Português. Obrigado pelo apoio. Um abraço.
Valeu à pena o esforço, que moto incrível!

Ho sempre pensato che CB significasse "Che Bella"... le CB sono tutte fantastiche moto.. BUON NATALE AMICO!!!! a presto
Marco Leso Lol. Pensare bene.Come usuali, molte grazie per il commento, e un buon Natale anche per te. Arrivederci.
Feliz Natal !
Ichiban Moto It's very nice of you writing in portuguese.Google translate is very powerful tool. Lol.Thank you.Merry Christmas for you too.
Uma bela moto. A posição de condução deve ser um pouco cansativa, mas de qualquer das formas o projecto ficou muito interessante. Obrigado por mais uma extraordinária partilha.
Zacarias Benta Não sei se será assim tão desconfortável. Parece-me mais que o condutor tenha o mau vício das costas dobradas. Lol. Mais uma vez, obrigado pelo simpático comentário. Abraço.
Cafe racers are by far the most like,respectable and cool bikes ever made imo.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Parabéns à Racer TV pelo excelente trabalho que têm vindo a fazer até à data!!! Muito Obrigado e continuem sff!!!

mystic1754
These are great tips for this bike. Thank you so much for sharing them with us. Cheers.
mystic1754
Great job. I see that you really put much effort on your project. Nicely done, but is not exactly my cup of tea. Just for my curiosity, what do you have in that little box between the engine and the front wheel? Is the exhaust custom made? Cheers.
just found out we have a 1970 cb500 buried in the garage. im building it. thanks for the vid.
+ACID The Creator Your garage must be really big. Lol. Good luck for your project. Cheers.
Yea Right how it turned out
Bellísima moto de linea puras como deben de ser sin maquillaje!
what a masterpiece :O
Usually the R80 is my favourite bike, but this one is just great
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
This is really My favorite from Racertv. So simple, so unique, the beauty is in the simplicity. Where did he get that gas tank? I admire that all the elements are so easily combined and fit so well. I hope yo finish My DKW 125 in less than an year, and I would like to show it. Thanks Racertv for all the videos.
Awesome video RACER TV ! Thanks for this beautiful upload. 2 weeks ago my dad and I got his old project running again. A 1991 Kawasaki Zephyr 750 with loads of modifications he did changed 12 years ago. These kind of videos gives me huge inspiration as motivation to finish this build.
Cheers mate, greets from the Netherlands.
Kjeld Petersen Thank you for sharing your comment. I always love to know that my videos are inspirational and helpful for others. Good luck for your project. Cheers.

I love this motorcycle - its so autentic - cheers.
+esteban villota Indeed. :) Cheers.
Clean line .....less is more..... fantastic ! Not possible in Italy unfortunally for omologation problems !!!!!!
Peppo Thank you for your kind words. I understand you comment about the road legal issues. Is there any Annual inspections on motorbikes in Italy?
Love that Harris exhaust. I used to have a black-chrome version on my Kawasaki, it sounded awesome. I miss that pipe...
leuvenlife Thanks for sharing your experience. Cheers.
Very minimalist..😎🇬🇧🏍
71 CB 500 Four was my first bike about 15 years ago.... wish i kept it now!

TheCarablanco
Lol. No problem. This song is based in this: OneRepublic - Secrets (Instrumental) Cover_Remake. Cheers.
This is my inspirtation... no other cafe racer have moved me quite like this one. No other channel on youtube have moved me quite like this.
+nhblackdc5 I never thought this bike could be so appreciated by all cafe Racer Enthusiasts. But now i get it. It is probably the coolest, simplest and clean project, that most of us can built in our garage. :) Cheers.

Nice work in finding the owner and the material to cover it. I would love to have a cafe racer for my own project
marclert1204 Thank you. Keep it going by seeing these inspirational videos, and i'm sure one day you will reach your dream. Cheers.
RACER TV You have any idea on some of the detail modification he may have done to get this look other than the continental gas tank and his customized suspension kit?
marclert1204
Sorry, but i don't have any details about the rest of the bike. Cheers
love your videos! good work
Keller60Music Thank you for your kind words. Cheers.
A masterpiece

Christo Kinieriem Hi Christo. I'm glad you liked. And as usual, thank you for your kind words and for sharing your opinion. Cheers.

+TomzMotoVlogz Thank you. I'm glad you liked. Cheers.
Nice. Very super
I can't put into words how envy I am to see these Cafe Racer bikes..:(
How I wish to have at least one..huhuhu..:'(
Dream, and it will hapen. :) Cheers.
+RACER TV Dreaming...........hehehe
really good job ! so cool .
Claudemir Dias I'm glad you liked. Cheers.
Nice needle. Feliz Natal.
***** Lol. Fortunately the straw barn was made of high tech.:) Obrigado pelo comentário, e Feliz Natal para Si também. Abraço.
so, so good.
Much better with no painted and shorter exhaust and with the big front light. I´d love see this bike with a little bit bigger seat, in the same way but bigger, something like mostly chosen seats for virago´s cafe racers
Great Video, and voice too, love the script, nice timing.
Patricio Zincke Thank you for your support. You mentioned all the small things that i try to make work on my videos. Thanks. Cheers.
I'm a designer and i notice all those details, nice work, i really enjoy your videos. Btw if you want to, we can work in some intro and outro graphics for your videos. (free of course).
Patricio Zincke
Thank you so much for your kind offer. In the beginning of this channel, i also thought making an intro on 3d Studio Max(I'm a CAD designer).
But after awhile, i reached the conclusion that intros on youtube videos are a little bit annoying(repetitive) for Viewers, and so i had to give up the idea.
But again, thank you my Friend for your support. Cheers.
Sad but true :)
And a very merry Christmas to you, too, Racer, as well as a healthy, fulfilling and productive 2015!
A comment to round out your year: I don't know of any channel that rewards its viewers so richly. Each week (and who else posts such complex videos so often or so regularly?), you grab our attention (teaser); then invite us into a small, exquisite space of your own designing (welcome); show us wonderful things (content) and tell us about them, or theorize about them, with a tranquil passion that is all your own; perhaps inspire us with a quote; and finally send us on our way, refreshed and somewhat awe-struck, with a friendly wave and a sincere invitation to return again -- soon. You even give us a couple of stills to finish with, so that some of us, at least, will think for a minute and not go hunting right away for the next kernel of TH-cam popcorn.
Thank you ... for doing Racer TV. And as always, I hope to see you next week.
Griffin Anderson Thank so much for all your kind words.This comment is one of best i ever read.I really liked.You are very kind.I wish you a very Merry Christmas too. Cheers.
did everyone know wich tank it is?
very good my friend...thanks...
izaias jorge de góes Thank you. Um abraço.
such a inspirational quote for all automobile enthusiasts by Paula scher
+A pulsar 220 rider Thank you. I'm glad you liked. Cheers.
RACER TV yeah :)
+RACER TV
can you mention the background song name?
A pulsar 220 rider
This song is based on this: OneRepublic - Secrets (Instrumental) Cover_Remake. Enjoy it. Cheers.
RACER TV thanks
cheers
Loved the bike, wish there was riding footage so we could hear... ;-)
Invincible Extremes I understand. Me too, but unfortunately we have to content ourselves with only these images. Thanks for sharing your opinion. Cheers.
a Ducati turbo da Kinectic é a coisa mais animal.

How many wheel sizes
Is the tank original or designed?
From any motor tanks taken ... what year ??
Type speed counter

I wish there was a link for every piece in the Motorcycle
You are welcome. The Tires are the 3.50 Firestone Deluxe Champion, The fuel tank is "Benelli Mojave Style Petrol Fuel Gas Tank". For the other parts, try to search on google for "Cafe Racer Parts". Cheers.
Boa descoerta!

Edgar Cortes Espero que la consigas tener en un futuro próximo. Gracias por partilhar tu comentário. Felicidades
aee ja arregacei o llike e me inscrevi bom trabalho
Muito obrigado pelo apoio e pela simpatia. Um abraço.
eu te entendo RACER TV ! o problema e cultural o brasileiro tem esse problemas nos olhamos demais porem motocicleta neste estilo nao comum por aqui ou seja e novidade para nos esses projetos no gual voçe sempre aborda , tem pouco tempo que nos estamos apaixonado pelo esse estilo de moto !!!!!
Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua perspectiva. Mas tenho que dizer que as motos Cafe Racer começam a ser cada vez mais populares no Brasil do que imagina. Tente procurar no youtube pelas seguintes motos, e irá concordar comigo. :) Um abraço.
Cafe Racer(BMW K100 by Retrorides by Lorenço)
Cafe Racer (Honda CB 400 by Retrorides By Lourenço)
Cafe Racer (Yamaha RD 135 by Pedro Garbelini)
race tv nosso pais e enorme tanto em extensao e populaçao ou seja a guantidade e pouco pela cultura e isso que estou tentando dizer ,logico que agora e mais comum porem dificil de se ver ao vivo !!!!!
Sim em compreendo-o. Vamos ver como as coisas se irão desenvolver no futuro. É que curiosamente, o Brasil já é o 3ª maior País que assiste aos videos no meu canal, e cada vez mais noto que a tendência é a de crescer. :) Um abraço.
racer tv seu canal se destaca nao so pela motos mas pelos seus comentarios e dedicaçao ! os detalhes faz a difença guando vai passar aquilo que estar vendo, ou seja voçe tem um olho bionico guando fal e mostra cada moto abordada, entao podemos dizer que alem de especialista no assunto o canal racer tv hoje em lugar de descutir, opinar ,aprender e copiar mas sempre amando as motocicletas , grande abraço a todos do canal ou deja somos uma familia hoje !
Muito obrigado amigo pela simpatia e apoio. :) Um abraço.
Hermosa!!!!lo demas ya lo saveis😉
carmelo santana
Gracias. Sí, lo sabemos. :) Saludos.
Can someone tell me on what bike do I find this fuel tank please.
Whooow... an absolute DREAM !! could you rebuild one ? for selling to Switzerland ?
kindly Mino
Mino Drachenseil I'm glad you liked Mino. But if you are interested on building a bike like this, i recommend you to use the link in the video description, where you can have the access to the Owner of this bike, whis is also selling the rear suspension kit. Good Luck. Cheers.
OK, thank you ;)
i just said that to my friend "less is more" when i wanted to change my rear suspension to a mono then i found this video.
+Eric De Cól Sales That's correct. But be careful, because converting to mono shocks, doesn't work for all bikes. One thing is certain: "less is more". :) Cheers.
I can't wait to build my own cafe racer
what's holding you back?
Money for now. But that will change. I'll find a way
epic bike (y)
amazing work.. but please tell me something where oil tank was fitted and also the battery! cheers
+Mauro Provato I think the stock CB550 doesn't have an oil tank. In what concerns to the battery, it seems there is no battery because the engine has a kickstarter. :) Cheers.
+RACER TV thanks for the response!!
From the day watch the 1st video about cafe racer on RACER TV. Its inspire me its make my interest in bike. Now most of the time I am watching the racer tv and another cafe project. Thanks to racer tv.
Sir I am living in north india(punjab) and i want to build my own cafe racer machine but there is few doubt that what bike should i choose for my project and from where i can buy the parts for bike specially fuel tank seat etc. Can you help me through please let me what bike should i buy which easily available in north india(punjab) thanks
+Body Master Thank you my friend for your support.
To be honest, it very difficult for me giving you some advices, because i don't know how things work in India.
Each Country has a favorite and popular kind of bike.
If you are looking for a 125cc or a 250 cc bike, Try to buy one with 2 cylinders, like the Honda CB models for instance.
There is nothing like the sound of 2 cylinders engines.
If you look on ebay, there are a lot of parts made in india, especially "alloy fuel tanks". I'm sure there are lot of amazing craftsman in India. You just have to find them.
If you see most of my videos in the "Cafe Racer (Important Tips)" videos list, you will find several useful tips for your future project.
Good luck my friend. Cheers.
se voçe voltar com legenda pra mim vai ser muito bom ! mas mesmo assim eu ainda gosto muito do seu canal abraço!
Obrigado amigo. Mas quase todos os meus videos têm legendas em Português. Provavelmente o problema será na configuração do seu youtube. Verifique no canto inferior direito da janela do video, e clique no botão das legendas para ver se estão ligadas ou desligadas. Um abraço.
. Later on when the originals are worth a bomb everyone will be buying up cafe conversions and restoring them back to how they were no doubt.
jimmypinch For some cases, you are right. That's why i always recommend saving the original parts during the transformation process. In this way, nothing is lost and everything can be reversed. Thanks for your comment. Cheers.
well said, good idea, I don't think anyone would change this particular bike though.
Thank You for putting so much effort into finding this! I was one of the people who initially requested more information. This is much appreciated :)
X7Rotary It that case, i have to thank you for giving me enough will to find this amazing bike, because this video is a great success. Thank you very much for your help. Cheers.
Clean, simple, nice.
Merry Christmas to you.
P.S.- Did we extended the singe arm?
Fernando Neves Thank you Fernando for your comment. But i think the swing arm have the original length. The idea about the suspension kit, is to be adaptable in the original frame and original swing arm. Merry Christmas for you too. Abraço.
Maybe the sensation that i had about the swing arm, is because the seat frame is sort and narrow, probably optic illusion.
Fernando Neves
Yes, i understand your comment.
I thought the same as you in the beginning.
But after comparing the pictures, i saw that after the frame being cutted, the swing arm looks longer. But in reality, has the same length.
I already checked several times.
And every time i checked all the images, the conclusion is always the same.
As you said, this is a very tricky optical illusion. Abraço.
