Thanks mate, glad to hear! More to come

Awesome looking motorcycle guy! When I see these, makes me wish I kept my 78 XS650.

Nice ! I have an early-frame XS650 cafe as well, same wheels ,twin-disk front , big-bore stainless headers, mufflers that 'Bark'. xs750 tank, period 70's rear-sets and clip-ons , larger 77 forks, hi-comp with ported-head-38mm carbs, gb-style cafe-seat ,longer braced 'V' swing-arm . I can stare at it all day. Dave NZ

Love the colour of the tank. Brilliant.

That sounds cool! Send some pics to my Instagram, have to see that!!

Very nice! I have a '70 & '71. Thinking of doing one as a 750 Cafe build. Looking forward to watching your progress on this one. South Lake Tahoe, California.

Thanks man! Sounds great, of course you should rebuild one of them at least😁

Great job, mine won't be near as nice but just as practical. Not able to find about the tank. Is that on a separate video?

I have a 75 XS650 and I am looking forward to building my own cafe.

@@OldschoolBikes I have to address some mechanical systems first. Xs only has 7500 original miles but needs brake work an forks need to be rebuilt or possibly replaced with something modern. I also need a fuel tank. Looking for an earlier Xs tank possibly a 73 but man they are expensive.

@@mikebeasley553 a tip is to check with cognito moto what stem whey make for xs650 and then look after some front forks front that brand. Easley the cheapest way. And fuel tank are always expansive... but good luck! It’s always fun with more rebuilds!

Amazing build. Can you tell me if you fabricated the swing arm or what bike it is from please?

Thanks man! The swing arm is from a British guy that lives in Thailand. They are really good quality! You can find him on eBay if you search for swingarm to Yamaha sr500 xs500 and so on.

This will be a very nice bike, the real Café Racer Spirit ! Where did you buy the front drum brake ?

Thanks man! That is exactly what we want to achieve with this build. We bought them from jl-exhausts.com check them out, they have so much cool stuff!

Can I ask why you got rid of the lower part of the backbone and ran a tube on each side from the swingarm pivot to where the backbone had its bend? I can see what you did with the upper rear engine mount but what did you do with the lower one?

Hi! That part was already modified when we got the bike.. so I made a new mount there and the lower mount is still there👍🏻

fucking awesome dude!

What kind of tank is that?

@OldschoolBikes

2 жыл бұрын

Its a aluminium tank from a company in the uk. It wasn’t the best fit on the frame so I change the frame a bit, you can see it in other videos.

Dreadful handlebars. 2-3 miles of those handlebars and I would want off of the bike. Good looking exhaust pipes. Changing the position of the battery is likely to vibrate the battery a lot, not a good thing.
