    Looking forward to watching the complete build. Having Chrystal there is a bonus and it is adding a good element to your channel. You guys should seriously think about doing more build videos together.

    • @CafeRacerGarage
      @CafeRacerGarage  Před 2 lety +3

      Thank you so much 😊 I’m sure she would be keen. Even when her bike is finished it will be probably getting upgrades over time so you will see her In those videos too :)

  • @alan.dillon.mortgages

    Just bought a 79 Honda CM 400 t with 10,000 original miles. Dragster bars, although I'm gonna change them for clubman, black or two into one exhaust, gas filled rear shocks. Us$1,200. So pretty much looks just like what you have here. It came with extra wheels, tires, forks. Looking forward to seeing your finished.

  • @WoobiewookieBlogspot
    @WoobiewookieBlogspot Před 2 lety +1

    Great pick on a bike, Crystal - think these late 70s Hondas/Yamahas are ideal platforms fora scrambler conversion. Interested in seeing what lights you use to replace those bullet lights!

    I've been waiting for this Project! I love to see how far you got so far! Can't wait to see the Project Completed! I am more a fan of the Brat (I think) look myself. But then the part where you got the Cafe Racer with a little bit of Scrambler in there like the Saddle and Fenders so you still have that Classic Motorcycle look IMO.

    • @CafeRacerGarage
      @CafeRacerGarage  Před 2 lety +1

      Yes mate I know exactly what you mean. I'm not sure what approach we are taking just yet with this one so stay tuned.

    Nice! Guiding someone who's eager to learn and get hands-on is very fulfilling 😃🤙
    I support the idea of leaning on that scrambler goodness, the option to go hit some dirt or rough backroads should be awesome :D

  • @rsbharley4766
    @rsbharley4766 Před 2 lety +1

    I Love the build ! I do have a Honda TMX 125 Alpha. Basically a CB125, I'm planning also to have a build like this. Silver tank, and Cafe seat that is pretty much a Scrambler, though I don't have any experience on building a bike though seeing her do it be herself makes me more inspired to build one !

    • @CafeRacerGarage

  • @daveco1270
    @daveco1270 Před 2 lety

    Great work, Crystal. I can't wait to see what you do with that bike. I think I liked the shape of the original tank better, with the knee indents, but it's hard to know until everything is together. Either way, It'll look good.
    I thought it was funny that Dan just rolled the bike up to the ultrasonic to do the tops of the carbs rather than taking off the throttle cables. Smart.

    • @CafeRacerGarage
      @CafeRacerGarage  Před 2 lety

      Thank you Dave, Yes I didn't need to remove them as they were long enough to reach :) We all have different tastes and I guess that's what makes the bike building industry so amazing, I didn't think I would like this tank that's on it now but I actually really think it works well after looking at the bike for a while with it on.

  • @tedecker3792
    @tedecker3792 Před 2 lety

    I got my first metric socket set when I was 12yo, racing karts in the 60s. Then I raced motocross while working at a motorcycle shop. Then raced SCCA sports cars. Restored MGs and Jag. Now building a CX cafe racer. And what is surely a miracle, I still have the original 10mm socket from that Indestro set. And the 13.

    • @CafeRacerGarage

    Dan, I've been riding since I was 9 and I cracked 63 this year. I've backed out of the heavy bikes afte a knee replacement and I am in the process of building a Street Tracker from a Yamaha Scorpio. 2007 model with spoked rims and only 7000km on it. A lot of your ideas are very inspiring for making some of the parts and I am looking forward to getting it done for next summer. All things being equal LoL.
    I think I have gone full circle in my bike career, from a kid putting together a box of parts y uncle gave to me and another set my dad got for me, I built two BSA Bantams, one was complete with lights and the other was a wild beast. with 19" rims, the rear sprocket almost filled the 2/3s of the space. I studied Phil Irvings Tuning for speedand and hand built an expansion chamber for it, figured outmy own air intakes and jetting, followed his guide on the ports and piston work, then crammed it all in a rigid frame cause it was ligher. I used a custom seat from my grandfather (who was an engineer), it was dual seat style but thickly padded and sprung. Needless to say I had a great time, and when I got my licence I used the other one on the road till I could afford bigger and faster. I've had Jap, Euro, Italian and British road and dirt bikes up to 1800cc. I have done some mild custom work at times, but 30 years in the Army does not give you that much freedom, so riding was most important. Now, with your help, my retirement project is formed in my head, I see the goal, I just need to have the body willing to play the same game and not be in surgery as much hehe!
    I hope Crystal enjoys her custom bike and continues to do something to personalise it to her own saisfaction. Thank you for a great channel!

  • @johnDukemaster
    @johnDukemaster Před 2 lety

    Hello Dan! Nice one again! About spoked wheels on these Honda wheels. It's quite an easy process actually. Let's see if I can make some sense in writing!
    The whole wheel is bolted to the hub. Just like brakediscs. Make a ring, like a brakedisc only smaller, with holes in a pattern suited for spokes. Bolt the ring in place and find your rims with fitting spokes. Makes sense? Good luck!

    • @CafeRacerGarage

    When we build a bike for my sister she did some work herself, we started with a Yamaha FZR Exup 1000 from 1990 that I bought for parts. The bike had a good engine but no fairing or dashboard, dented tank and ripped seat. I have a huge stock pile of parts for those, bought all the parts they had from two dealers in Holland and one in Belgium where we live, owning seven FZR Exup bikes myself. Took the bike for here completely apart to the naked frame and than rebuild it with all new bearings, brake pads, gaskets for the carbs (not the engine that when away to a dealer) Had the tank sprayed in white (three tanks in one go) the rest we painted our-self with rattle cans in white. When the bike was finished it went to the dealer for the valve clearance and setting the carbs. I don't have the balance set for that and those shims are not cheap, the bike was lowered by us, we made the links for the rear our-self. Nicole really likes the bike and every time we talk of replacing it she says no.

    Great vids, want to do one but once we cut the frame etc, it needs engineering cert. in Qld, Some suggest doing it post rwc and rego. Others that a frame cut behind the structural join is ok? Any clues, I am in Qld, the idea has put me off having a go at a racer build. Scared to do it post rego in case of an accident and insurance probs? Having trouble finding anything on it apart from get it inspected once complete?

    I've been using oregon ultrasonic cleaner fluid and it's a cheap product that i really have fallen in love with.
    Btw. A good way to use less fluids and degreasers in the Ultrasonic cleaner is to have the tub filled with water and then putting your carb or whatever you're cleaning into a plastic or glass jar and put the solvent in there. That way you don't need to clean the whole ultrasonic cleaner tub👌

      The Virago is waiting on parts to arrive for me to get started, front fork conversion, as well as engine parts, Peter with the BMW, hasn't done anything for me to video yet, He is a busy man and probably security waiting for me to build it for him lol 😂

    Dude! Never use a wire from your wire wheel to clean a carb! Use guitar strings. 6 different sizes and some are wound so the have teeth, of sorts. Hahahaha Ok, in reality, use what you got. Nice work both of you. That's going to be a really cool bike.

      I don't recommend paint on the exhaust, in fact, we decided to send the exhaust off to 74 Works to have him cerakote it. The paint was the cheaper option however it won't last as long so she decided to pay to get it ceramic coated, My ultrasonic cleaner is here ebay.us/jcHdk2 I recommend getting the biggest one you can afford.
