Loving your work man. The thought process and explanations as you go along. Doing it all without industrial tools. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Keep up the good work. 👍🏾

Thanks man! I appreciate the nice words! I am basically working on 2 different bikes at the same time right now but this cafe racer is definitely an exciting project that I want to finish!

With the lithium ion battery you will have to replace your regulator rectifier or it wont work/damage the battery, look into it. project looks really good.

That’s a great point, I actually have no idea because it’s the first time i use a battery like that, thanks for the pointers ✌️

So sweet! I want to build full size bikes too one of these days!

You gotta! I’m looking forward to see what it would look like!

I have a very subframe and boxed in the mounting arms, but left the access to the seat so I could unbolt it if needed. That being said you are basically creating a box that could house all of your relays under the seat or you could even eliminate them if you want to using something like an m. unit.

That’s a great idea! I don’t think I’m going to go the m.unit road yet but I’ll definitely keep what you mentioned in mind!

bravo !

Thanks man 👍

Was it hard to figure out, how to change the back lights to work correct? Or was it just Plug and Play? Would have been nice if u showed that part :) Awesome videos look forward to see the next ones :)

Thanks! If you start with the black wire as ground you can can try the other wires on the positive of a 12v battery. You’ll quickly see which one is for which light. It comes with no instruction so that’s how I did it! I show on my previous video how I did it!

Thanks Steen ! I got the exhaust on eBay but I saw that the company doesn’t seem it anymore, I linked a chrome version on the video description though 👍

Are there a few LEDs not working on the tail light ??

There was one from what I could tell and the seller told me he would ship me a new one (I gotta look if I received it as I’ve been busy on the R1...)

i have the same subframe. I'm missing a seat. where did you buy yours?

@TristanDurandBuilds

Yeah that subframe is actually strong, not some weak welds. I’m happy I got it. So the seat comes from here: bit.ly/virago-subframe-with-seat

What happened to this project? Will you pick it up again?

Yes! Don’t worry this cafe racer will be finished and looking fire. I missed a part and I finally received it, I’m waiting to be stuck on the R1 to go back on the Virago ✌️

What happened to this?

Tristan shows us how to ruin a beautiful and perfectly good motorcycle.
