      @@Sengel90 greetings! Love this build. I’m doing one as well. Any chance you could tell me where you got your throttle cable? I put clip-ons onto my forks so my OEM cable is too long now. Looking for the length and brand you went with. I’m thinking I’ll need a 30” cable + or - a few”. Thanks!

      @@justinlacy8428 I got the cable on ebay (was $17). Unfortunately can't get more details as the website does not go back that long. It's a common cable, nothing special. You have to go cut it to length. Check on CZcams how to do it, It is not a big deal. Enjoy your built!

    Hey bud, I still come and watch this video from time to time because I love this build. Question, I'm having a helluva time tuning my XV920 carbs. Do you remember your jet settings or turns on the pilot mixture screw? I know the bike is long gone but any guidance is better than where I'm at now.

    Man, these cafe racers are the $#it now days. I'm lovin every minute of it. I see honda brought back a new version of their old CB750 and you can get it in an 1100cc close updated version. Kawasaki has did the same thing with their KZ900 👍👍👍

    How do you get it to make that growl sound after closing the throttle? Some people's viragos don't make the sound.

    • @Sengel90
      @Sengel90  Před 8 měsíci

      Can’t really tell you exactly, but ev. must be the result of the curving of the rear cylinder exhaust.

    This is such a beautiful build! Great job Stefan. I was wondering if you could let me know where you found your levers and master cylinder. I have an 83 920 and I'm looking to make way with the stock master and levers, but I can't seem to find something likes yours.
    Thank you in advanced!

      Hi Sergio, thank you for the comments. The master cylinder I bought on Amazon (PerfecTech Motorcycle Accessories Racing CNC Billet Front Master Cylinder Brake Fluid Oil Reservoir Tank Bracket Cup Universal for YZF R6 R1 FZ1 Z1000 Z750 ZX(Black). Currently unavailable but try somewhere else. The levers I bought on eBay but can't find the description anymore as eBay deletes the entries history more than 2 years old. I know I paid $70 for the kit. Similar item, google: 7/8'' 22mm Universal Motorcycle Brake Clutch lever Master Cylinder Reservoir Kit. Enjoy your bike! Cheers..
