I personally enjoy the functionality of a rear fender, very nice build though! Some perf spark plugs, air filter, and carb up-jet make it a very worthy bike. Oh and dont forget to swap those sprockets to a 15t/30t, makes a world of diff!
This is awsome man! I really want to do something similar. Could you release just sound clips of the bike? I would really like to gauge the sound and volume of the straight pipes
Great Video. I have been working on the same bike and love what you did with the frame and seat. Where did you make your bend cuts on the frame to bend them at the right angles to match the seat? Do you have the exact measurements?
RS1 Thanks for the feedback! I actually did not go about cutting the frame in a very professional or even safe way haha. I started by putting the seat on the frame to see where the seat started to curve inwards. I made the first cut right behind the lower handlebars on each side of the frame and then made another cut on each side depending on how much further the frame needed to curve inwards. I believe I made a total of 8 cuts, 4 on each side, about 1” spaced apart. Honestly, your best bet is just to go for it. You have to plan, measure, and commit fully. Best of luck to you!
Yep plan and dive right in. I chickened out. My plan was to do exactly what he did but I just freaked out a little and so I just did some really minor mods, but kept it mostly stock.
Liz Pedroza it was through a plethora of places. The seat was from eBay, the lights are from Amazon, and everything else was from my local Lowe’s or motorcycle parts store
@@JosiahCMaatStudios I feel like an idiot but when looking for the seat is there a specific kind that I'm supposed to be looking for sorry this is my first bike
Liz Pedroza don’t call yourself that brother, there’s nothing wrong with seeking information! The seat is called a 2into1 Vallejo Seat. This is the only seat that fit the curve of my motorcycle frame (the frame under the seat is kind of like a banana bending upwards). As far as for your bike, you’ll have to do some research as to what will best fit. The seat I mentioned was the only one I could find that fit the 250 cc NightHawk. Hope this helps!
Nice build man! I'm currently doing the same and have installed similar Clubman handlebars but it seems like the throttle cables are too short? Did you have to change yours to fit?
Raymund Pedroza yes, I ordered from a website that no longer sells them, but the seat I got is number 9 on this Amazon page www.amazon.com/dp/B07JBWP17H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_pw2jDbGX6FXST
Shot by the neon... Sorry but not cool. However I admire you ability of building something with almost nothing. Just a grinder and and a drill... That's courageous.
Danny Perez The back end of the frame was just 2 independent pipes shooting straight backwards. I cut 5 small incisions on the inside of those and bent them inward to form a “hoop”. I essentially just bent the end of the frame inwards to be the shape of the new seat. You can see at 5:15 I start measuring where I want the cuts to be on both sides, make the cuts, then I beat the crap out of it with a mallet to bend it to shape. And you can ride 2 people but they have to hold on very tight.
idk why but being a hvac guy that deals with gas pipe a lot i really was blown away from the gas pipe cap tail light assembly
Pipe cap for the brake light housing, Genius ! Well done, Mate !
Normally hate cafe racers so good job
Absolutely unreal video. I am currently building a cb 250 cafe racer. What great ideas cheers
Nice build Dude! Looks good!
Good shit man. Very motivated.
great job dude!

Brilliant video, well done with the editing, the bike is awesome aswell very inspirational
I’d like to know what you used for the rear light? What part of parts?
Hey Man, great job. Congratulations!!! BTW, Where'd get the café racer 2 seat?...
This is awsome man! I really want to do something similar. Could you release just sound clips of the bike? I would really like to gauge the sound and volume of the straight pipes
Bro, you're a crafty counselor your edit video is perfect thanks. How do you remove the rear fender to replace the rear signal lights on a 93 CB 750?
Nice!
Video is sick man ❤️

Does this count as asmr?
Love the bike! How did you make the red cap for your tail light?
When flipping the stock handlebars, did you need to shorten or adjust the throttle/brake cables at all? Looking at building my bike similar to yours.
Where did you get the seat? I’m doing a similar built and I’m digging your seat.
Herrrmoso!
Donde compro el asiento? Ayuda. Plis.
Nice job to the bike where did you buy the parts ?

Thank you and I have a nighthawk 250
Nice chopped vest

Did you just flip the handle bars?
Raymund Pedroza yes
@@JosiahCMaatStudios looks great. is that a generic seat? like the ones being sold all over amazon?
Raymund Pedroza yes, I ordered from a website that no longer sells them, but the seat I got is number 9 on this Amazon page
www.amazon.com/dp/B07JBWP17H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_pw2jDbGX6FXST
does the bike still run ok with that cut exhaust? I chopped mine the same length and it stalls out when I apply throttle
Santo Ciulla I cut mine with the intention of getting it tuned afterwards. I got it taken care of at a school and it runs great
@@JosiahCMaatStudios thank you! I'm getting a jet kit this week, if I can't dial it in just right after installing the jets I'll pay to get it tuned
Where can I find that seat?
Will this seat fit on a 83 650
did you do anything with the swing arm?
Elias Rodriguez no
Where did you get that seat? It’s wicked
Neil Layton It’s called The Vallejo by 4into1

Just got the same bike. I appreciate the detailed video, nice work. Curious where you bought your seat from?
try ebay
What tires did you end up throwing on this thing looking for a new set myself and it’s such an odd size I can’t figure out what to go with.
What did you do to the back end and can it ride two people with that style ?
Danny Perez
The back end of the frame was just 2 independent pipes shooting straight backwards. I cut 5 small incisions on the inside of those and bent them inward to form a “hoop”.

10:44 plot twist, he screws the cardboard in place
where is the seat from?
Thosw multi-cokored lights clash the style of the bike horribly (In my opinion of course) love everything else about though great job!
Where can I get a seat like that ?
most likely ebay
👍
Where did you get that seat?
Kadin Broadhurst number 9 on this Amazon page
www.amazon.com/dp/B07JBWP17H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_pw2jDbGX6FXST
It all looks and sounds great but that tailight looks terrible
,is this guy a plummer ??.
Vendeme las cachas...
You butchered what was a classic beginners bike.
La arruinaste .
Where did you buy the seat?
