Hi I'm so glad i found your channel maybe 2 months ago I'm a resident in the USA but have been stranded hear in the UK for the past 11 weeks you have lit a fire under me i can't wait to return to Florida and start on a project i was a avid motorcycle enthusiast in my younger days late 60 and all through the 70 and live the cafe racer life style although i have not ridden in many years I'm totally committed to build an old stile British cafe racer thank you so much for sharing so much information God-bless you and stay safe Colin 🙋♂️🇬🇧
I've purchased turn signals from eBay uk. I like eBay a lot than the other websites. Its cheep and easy to get it on my door step in 18 days. Now i'm buying tail light from eBay and i'm really happy for that shopping. Still i need time and its our best friend. Taking time but its make me a real cafe racer enthusiast. I love to making it by your great videos. Really love to watch your videos. I just got an accident few days back and cant wait to do my job to fix few things of my Suzuki GS-150. I'm from Islamabad, Pakistan. Thanks a lot RacerTv.
Wish has quite a few parts for cafe racers. I've ordered most of my parts for my KE100project from Wish. Love your channel,just like the bike it moves the soul.
Excellent advice, I am building my next project mostly in my head before purchasing parts or even the base model machine. Something around the Honda 125cc to become a Cafe Racer. I have been looking at parts I think will suit before I even purchase. My current project will be at the paint shop sometime in the coming week. It's a 2009 Triumph Thruxton purchased as a wreck, and by the way I purchased a British Customs Predator, Carbon Slip On exhaust for it, not the cheapest but IMHO a beautiful sound and look. Thank you for this buying guide.
Can you make a video about the electrical system of the older style motorcycles? Before fuel injection. I can't speak for everyone, but for me (especially without any training), it's the most complicated and frustrating part of the project. Thanks for all your effort, keep up the good work!
TheLe016 I know exactly what you mean. I have a friend who's having also electrical problems in his bike. It takes time, patience, and also waste money until find a little and tiny wire which was with bad contact. It is very difficult making a video about this kind of problems, because each situation is unique, and there are so many variables. But thanks for sharing your comment. I wish you good luck. Cheers.
Great video. The first one video of how to build your Cafe Racer was awesome and this gave you tips in what we need and where to find it complete the mission. Gracias Racers!
Thank you so much for all of your input. Thank you. I been following you for quite some time, a year... longer don't remember...but you are a great inspiration.
+ RACER TV your tips are very useful for me cuz I have in mind a project so I got me some of those websites you mentioned thanks again and have a wonderful day until next time. ... greetings. .!
Excelentes dicas. Um pormenor que vejo em muitas cafe racers e que realmente detesto, são os retrovisores nas extremidades dos guiadores, mas há gostos para tudo e para mim não liga nada com nada os retrovisores colocados aí.
Thanks for all your work on this video and others generally. I have mostly finished my cafe racer project but have a few changes still the make, so your advice is helpful. Interestingly you feature a version of mine on this video, a '96 Thunderbird of which I am hopelessly enamoured.
Beautiful video, as always! I'm actually wanting to build a cafe racer myself. But I have a problem.... I have a hard time visualizing or coming up with a good plan on what to change and stuff. I was wondering If you could help me out?I could really use your expertise and knowledge on building a beautiful bike. Keep up the great work
huntersihelp Thank you. Well, I can give you some opinions or orientations. But i think you should look for other cafe racer projects, and take several ideas about what you like. Try to search on google(in images mode) by "Cafe Racer Bikes", and i'm sure you will find lots of ideas for your project. Good luck. Cheers.
I have a couple bikes and styles in mind. I just don't know what would look best. I have a Suzuki gt185. I just can't make up my mind of colors etc.. I really like the idea of black gas tank with gold pin striping. I also really like copper platting and would like to do little accents of that around the bike. Sorry if I'm being a pain in the ass
huntersihelp There are many variables that can help in these choices. But i have to know more to help you on this. From which year is your Suzuki? The fuel tank in your project is the original from factory? Will you maintain the side covers?
1975. I believe the gas tank is original, and I'm not to sure about the side covers. If you'd like or if it would be easier you could email me at huntersihelp1@gmail.com
Ótimo vídeo!! Seus videos são sempre surpreendentes. Parabéns pelo trabalho! E muito obrigado pelas dicas a respeito de compras de peças. "And as always, I hope to see it next week!"
Igor Belmiro Fico contente por ter ajudado. Aconselho também a ver alguns dos links que foram partilhados nos comentários, onde existem alguns Websites bastante interessantes. Obrigado pelo seu comentário. Boa sorte. Abraço.
I got a Honda cg 125 yesterday 😍been looking for so long it costed 350pounds it's 1998 so new but not too new and it runs and is legal all I have to do is strip it
Bates Cycle, in Dallas and Garland, Tx. The motorcycle graveyard. OMG, they've got MOUNTAINS of parts. Only place I've ever seen Rokon Snowflake (real magnesium) wheels laying in a pile. But that WAS some years ago. Yeah, you can call them or whatever, but ya' gotta' actually GO there for the full experience. MachOverspeed
Yamaha is going to have makeover in the winter, properly whit time....... i have an old cb125k tank and old aluminium tank, probably going to put the aluminium tank on it, and i have watchin seats from ebay and what i have noticed that when you look the dimension of them, they are HUGE. like 700mm long , isnt that little too much........How long is your cb seat ?
+TT GarageRat Hello Timo. Be careful with all the proportions. Use the "Divine Proportion" to calculate de seat length. Some Honda CB Fuel tanks are too small for your bike. I'm not sure for the moment, but i think the seat of my CB is around 570 mm. Cheers.
¿Qué opinas sobre british racer? Por cierto, muchas gracias por todos estos consejos/ What do you think about british racer? By the way, thanks you so much for all these tips
+Roger Sirerol I'm not a great expert, but i love the classic stance of british bikes. The only thing that seems wrong with Triumphs, are the fuel consumptions, and brakes. I hope this helps. Cheers.
Daniel B Lol. As you probably imagine, making a mediocre 5 minute video is very easy, but making an interesting and entertaining video, is much harder than you can expect. :) Thank you for your kind words. Cheers.
Obrigado amigo. Presumo que a pergunta esteja relacionada com as "futuras" inspecções periódicas a motociclos. Estarei certo? Se for esse o problema, não se preocupe, já que a homologação das peças ou acessórios, está fora da alçada das inspecções periódicas. Esse é um falso problema que muitas pessoas estão a levar demasiado a sério. Nas inspecções periódicas, só serão verificadas características básicas de segurança, tais como o estado dos pneus, suspensão, funcionamento das Luzes, piscas, nível de ruído do escape, etc. Um abraço.
RACER TV está correcto. a minha dúvida cai sobre 3 peças: faróis com piscas, espelhos retrovisores demasiado pequenos e luzes da retaguarda em Led (uma linha única na parte inferior do banco). pensei que isso poderia ser "inspecionado" e não estar de acordo com alguma regra/norma dos componentes das motas. tal como vidros e ópticas escorecidas nos automóveis. obrigado desde já. Nota: o meu pequeno elogio não faz jus à qualidade dos vídeos! keep the excellent work!
brascuca Era isso que eu imaginava. Não se preocupe com as questões da homologação. Eles só irão verificar o funcionamento desse tipo de diapositivos, ou seja, se funciona, ou não. :) Obrigado pela simpatia. Um abraço.
Thank’s for you TV racer show it’s always a pleasure . I’am trying to transform my CBR 1000 f 1991, i.am not shure it’s the right bike What do you think ? Thank you
dmcduce It is difficult to answer that question. But i think is perfectly possible. It is more the question of finding an amazing 2 stroke machine that i really like. Thank for the suggestion.Cheers.
TheCarablanco Well, i always try to use a good and clean background music. Sometimes, is just a question of luck, but most times, is made on purpose, neh? :) Thanks for sharing your comment. Cheers.
Sorry, but that is the kind of things that depends of your the personal taste of each one. But try to search on google images, for Retro/classic helmets and/or gogles. Cheers.
Great advice! Thanks. I've been keeping an eye out on ebay and craigslist for bikes. There's a 1972 Honda xl250 barn find for $500 that interests me but I've read a lot of forums that say not to turn it into a cafe since it's a dirt bike and it ruins the shocks/feel of the bike. There's also a couple '72 Honda CL175s available in my area too. I wonder if that would be a better one to turn into a cafe?
Okoang Baker Well, if you need upholster the seat, i think any professional car upholstery would finish the cafe racer seat you need.And to calculate the proportions of the seat, i recommend you to see one of my videos. Here is the name of the video "Cafe Racer (How to calculate the proportions of your Bike) Part 1". Cheers and good luck for your project.
Excelentes vídeos!!! muitos parabéns! São informativos, visualmente apelativos e bem editados. Uma questão, qual é o software que usa no minuto 3:04? Muito obrigado e continuação de bom trabalho :)
Muito obrigado amigo. O desenho da mota a que se refere, foi feito em 3 dimensões no Auto Cad, e os materiais e luzes(Renders) foram aplicados com o 3D Studio Max. Um abraço.
It depends of the motorcycle and of the approach of the cafe racer project. If a kind of tires look good in a certain project, it means that they are the right tires. But if you are a purist, then thin tires may be the right choice. Cheers.
Hi! I hope someone can help me. I remeber seeing a video in this channel about lines in a cafe racer and how they do the perfect bike, but now i cant find that video.
Hi guys, Has anyone got any recommendations for a seat that will fit a Yamaha Ybr 125 (Not the custom) Or any sites/shops to browse for them? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
I am not sure. But here is a sugestion. piezascaferacer.com/epages/ccca5f4c-b598-4348-9402-39ff1a36eb5e.sf/es_ES/?ObjectPath=/Shops/ccca5f4c-b598-4348-9402-39ff1a36eb5e/Categories/Asientos
hey please tell me that is it weird to modify a bajaj ct 100/boxer to a cafe racer,and what should i do to complete this project on my own,without any skill or shop :P i know this sound weird but answer me
+CHEESYMCBUTTKINSI used Autocad 2006 to draw the bike in 3D, and the 3D Studio Max for the renderings of my Honda CB 125 B6 project. But i recommend using the Photoshop.I think it's easier. Cheers.
+RACER TV I mean do you have anything back of your bike so when you ride on wet road or on sand all mud and stuff dont fly on engine? mudshield or that.
einsteinium99 I think you are referring to the Honda CB 125 with the red frame(The Spark), right? Unfortunately, that bike is from a friend of mine. All i can say, is that we never ride that bike on mud or rain. But my own Honda Cb 125 B6 had fenders. I already crossed some wet road surfaces, and the only part that gets dirt, is the rear license plate, light, and real cowl of the seat.
+RACER TV Im building tracker and im just afraid that if i dont put the fender on back... rocks might broke paint on frame and it gets rusty. But it doesnt look so good with rear fender so maybe i just paint it againg after couble yars if it gets that bad. I really enjoy your videos :D
That is because of your front wheel ratio. Before you buy a speedometer, check the wheel ratio to know if it is compatible with the speedometer. Cheers,
RACER TV thanx alot for your quick response and support and i love the voice pitch on your channel it is so worth and relaxing to watch video. Love all the way from India
Hey ! Does anyone know a site that has World Wide shipping?! I'm from Mexico so, I have to either get my parts else where or pay a big fortune for them and Amazon doesn't have so much variety
RACER TV Thanks! Will do. Hey nice work on your vids, not only have they been useful; they have been inspirational and have really helped me on taking on a cafe racer project ! Keep up the good work
Great video and advice. I like using www.cheapcycleparts.com/ if you are looking for original parts. They even sell pieces as small a screws and nuts that fit the original bike. A great resource for those restoring bikes or giving a dead machine a second life.
I love this video and the helpful information good people have shared. Thanks! So my question ... does anyone know a place that will do a custom engraving on a clutch lever as seen here: www.pipeburn.com/home/2015/05/29/1976-kawasaki-kz650-by-krakenhead-customs.html A friend is building his first custom bike and I'd like to get him a custom logo touch for his project. Thanks again!
A good site for seats... www.motorcycleseatsdirect.com/cafe-racer-classic-motorcycle-seats-direct/?sort=featured&page=2 They make custom seats whole or just parts.
I just ordered one, if the quality and fit is good then $300 seams to be a fair price when all said and done. The problem is the 30 day turn around to get it to my door.
Thank you for once again a interesting video, I can strongly recomend www.tecbikeparts.com/ well made and good value for those who are looking for mainly Triumph but there are parts that can be used on other cafe racers too.

Thankyou sir waiting for next videos
If you have a bike that needs an overhaul, what do you suggest first? Tank and paint, and work outward towards the lights and handles? Thanks!
Try to begin with things that will influence the rider position, such as the seat, handlebar and the set foot pegs. Cheers.
Great advice! Thanks. I've been keeping an eye out on ebay and craigslist for bikes. There's a 1972 Honda xl250 barn find for $500 that interests me but I've read a lot of forums that say not to turn it into a cafe since it's a dirt bike and it ruins the shocks/feel of the bike. There's also a couple '72 Honda CL175s available in my area too. I wonder if that would be a better one to turn into a cafe?
am i the only one that thinks the sport classic 1000 is the best cafe racer ever its so nice i love it

Try to search on google for "Cafe Racer tires", or "classic tires", "supermotard rims ebay" or "Motorcycle alloy spoked rims ebay".

I am not sure. But here is a sugestion. piezascaferacer.com/epages/ccca5f4c-b598-4348-9402-39ff1a36eb5e.sf/es_ES/?ObjectPath=/Shops/ccca5f4c-b598-4348-9402-39ff1a36eb5e/Categories/Asientos
thanks bro
You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers.
hey please tell me that is it weird to modify a bajaj ct 100/boxer to a cafe racer,and what should i do to complete this project on my own,without any skill or shop :P
i know this sound weird but answer me
If you lower the suspension(Front and rear), and adapt a new and longer swing arm, it can be transformed on a nice Cafe Racer. Cheers.
I hear tjmmotoparts .com are good there site seems to be down at the moment but I've got hold of them through there Facebook.
+sadiemaybence bence Thanks for sharing your sugestion. Cheers.
Which software do you use to construct a cafe racer
+CHEESYMCBUTTKINSI used Autocad 2006 to draw the bike in 3D, and the 3D Studio Max for the renderings of my Honda CB 125 B6 project. But i recommend using the Photoshop.I think it's easier. Cheers.
+RACER TV thanks
Could you please tell me where can I get handlebar controls??
Try to search on google for "handlebar electric controls motorcycle ebay", and i am sure you will find it. Cheers.
RACER TV thank you very much I got the controls!! Cheers!
I love all racer tv videos
Arifeen Hassan Thank you for your kind words. Cheers.

Do your bikes have rear fender?
Sorry. I didn't quite understand your question. Can you rephrase it?
+RACER TV I mean do you have anything back of your bike so when you ride on wet road or on sand all mud and stuff dont fly on engine? mudshield or that.

I think you are referring to the Honda CB 125 with the red frame(The Spark), right?
Unfortunately, that bike is from a friend of mine.
All i can say, is that we never ride that bike on mud or rain.
But my own Honda Cb 125 B6 had fenders. I already crossed some wet road surfaces, and the only part that gets dirt, is the rear license plate, light, and real cowl of the seat.
+RACER TV Im building tracker and im just afraid that if i dont put the fender on back... rocks might broke paint on frame and it gets rusty. But it doesnt look so good with rear fender so maybe i just paint it againg after couble yars if it gets that bad. I really enjoy your videos :D
in case of speedo meter some time it shows false speed
That is because of your front wheel ratio. Before you buy a speedometer, check the wheel ratio to know if it is compatible with the speedometer. Cheers,
RACER TV your so right but some are mention that ratio or match
Sometimes, a different tire size or a different wheel, can cause an error on the speedometer.
RACER TV thanx alot for your quick response and support and i love the voice pitch on your channel it is so worth and relaxing to watch video.
Love all the way from India
Hey ! Does anyone know a site that has World Wide shipping?! I'm from Mexico so, I have to either get my parts else where or pay a big fortune for them and Amazon doesn't have so much variety
Try Gearbest.com . It might be useful. Saludos.
RACER TV Thanks! Will do. Hey nice work on your vids, not only have they been useful; they have been inspirational and have really helped me on taking on a cafe racer project ! Keep up the good work
aliexpress-many diferent parts for bikes,cafe racer also
Андрей Груша Yes, very similar to ebay, but with some interesting and different items. Thanks for your suggestion. Cheers.
omega racer
Rycamotors.com for café racer bikes Suzuki 650 savager and other
Great video and advice. I like using www.cheapcycleparts.com/ if you are looking for original parts. They even sell pieces as small a screws and nuts that fit the original bike. A great resource for those restoring bikes or giving a dead machine a second life.
Ride AMAP Thank you for sharing the link, and for your kind words. Cheers.
Headlights costs more than gold.
Nah
dimecitycycles have a wide range of products for caferacers and scramblers
Indeed, but only for those who live on USA. :)
very complete video bro, i have two choises for revivalcicles.com and dimecitycycles.com not cheap but so many good stuff
+Harry Postres Thank you for your sugestion, and for your kind comment. Cheers.
I love this video and the helpful information good people have shared. Thanks! So my question ... does anyone know a place that will do a custom engraving on a clutch lever as seen here: www.pipeburn.com/home/2015/05/29/1976-kawasaki-kz650-by-krakenhead-customs.html
A friend is building his first custom bike and I'd like to get him a custom logo touch for his project. Thanks again!
This may sound strange, but i think a good jeweler may have the right equipment for that kind of work. Good luck. Cheers.
A good site for seats...
www.motorcycleseatsdirect.com/cafe-racer-classic-motorcycle-seats-direct/?sort=featured&page=2
They make custom seats whole or just parts.
MotoAddict Thank you for sharing. Too bad about the prices, especially the Shipping costs, but still an interesting link. Cheers.
I just ordered one, if the quality and fit is good then $300 seams to be a fair price when all said and done. The problem is the 30 day turn around to get it to my door.
Muito bom o video, as dicas são muito úteis. Deixo aqui a minha sugestão de link com alguns instrumentos de muito bom gosto. motogadget.com/en/
Gustavo Silva Obrigado Gustavo pela sugestão. Este link é mesmo Top. Só é pena os preços, mas quem quer qualidade paga. :). Abraço
Thank you for once again a interesting video,
I can strongly recomend www.tecbikeparts.com/ well made and good value for those who are looking for mainly Triumph but there are parts that can be used on other cafe racers too.
Petrol Head Thank you for your comment, and for sharing the link. Cheers.
Muito obrigado! Um site muito bacana, é o da dimecitycicles.com, eles tem muitas peças interessantes e de excelente bom gosto.
***** Obrigado Carlos pela sugestão. Mas o link que enviou não está funcionando. Aqui vai o link correcto: www.dimecitycycles.com Abraço
