Liked and subscribed! I built a CB200 cafe racer about 10 years ago I learned as I went just like you did.😊 It has since fallen into disrepair, and I’m trying to get it running again. Your video was motivating for sure!!

A CB200! Thats so cool. I’m so pumped to hear the video was motivating ❤️

Looks good I love the leather stitching on the seat lol but you definitely did a great job on the engine and exhaust they compliment the old school look well. I personally will be making a few tech changes like capacitors instead of a heavy battery and Im doing a 750, Im hoping to at least hit 150 mph with it if not Ill add a turbo set up, who knows I may add the turbo anyway and try to get 200 mph out or it definitely going with some fat tires like some thick Harley Davidson 18s or something along those lines. I want something built strong enough to handle a bump at 150 mph if I don't see it in time to slow down, I already know without stripping it down 130 mph and 0 to 60 in 4 to 6 seconds isn't an issue. The thing I like most about these builds is its not much of a suspension change and tire change to build a 650 or 750 off road machine. I also have back issues already, so I won't care as much on the appearance I can't put the handle bars that low.

love your video. I had a cb750 and got someone to help me pull it apart. i then had no one to help me put it back together and do the work and ended up (regretfully) selling it........ would love to build one but would need someone to help me......your video is a great encouragement to go for it.

Bike turned out awesome, man! Glad you decided to share the process.

Awesome cafe! I'm building one now. A CB750 K5. I rode it home for $500. It was built the month and year I was born. Crazy. Never selling it. :) It's going back together. Currently a roller. Powder coated the rims/swing arm. New vintage firestones. Tank is painted. Sunrise Orange candy. I need to do the carbs and put gaskets in the engine. Such a fun project! Thanks for the inspiration!

Lincoln electric easy mig 180 was the first welder I bought. It's under $1000 and is probably the best "budget" welder that is great for beginners. Even the less expensive welders aren't very cheap if you are looking for something that will be reliable and weld nice.

Where do you get your seat foam and what firmness do you use?

Instead of cutting the metal parts yourself. I would invest into a plasma cutter. Way easier. You would need a air compressor though, which is a good thing to have anyways.

Would love to see a "Tools" video!

That paint is beautiful!

What's that type of handle bars are those and will those fit a cb750?

Only piece missing was setting up your "rebranding" remarks. As a 1st time viewer I had no idea what you were talking about - EDIT: Did something similar to a CB350 a few years back

You took off the front mudguard, including the brace that’s on there. I’ve read a lot about structural integrity being reduced when you do that. Did you notice any issues when you were driving?

Thanks Jeff. It’s high density foam I got from an upholstery distributor.

I don't know why people always says to use vinegar (an acid) and then adding baking soda (a base). If mixed exactly, these make water. What is this mixture supposed to do? PS, my dad's an upholsterer and you did that pretty well. The foam looked a little thin right down the centre, would you make it thicker next time?
