Big thanks to JTECMOTO.COM for making this video possible.
I want one.. Exactly like this.
I love gold forks on a bike. It looks good on anything from a Bigwheel, to this, to a BMW K100 cafe. There's just something about it...
i'm on it, it's been a year now and i'm half the way...i'm working on my buell xb12ss, there is so much potential in this bike i have change the design twice, having a lot of work does not help, and restoring bikes to factory new on my free time neither, tools are expensive so restore old machinery to have excellent tools to make excellent parts is a pita , cafe racers are forever and when i get old i want my kids look at it and think "if my dad could do it, i can do it" i spent 4 months just to make my subframe, it looks like factory made, not a singke flaw , its all made of steel, not a single particle of bondo, and casting my own design tailight from resine and leds is hard job...as soon as i finish i'l be glad to share it with everyone...
this is the most beautiful bike I have ever seen 😍
I bought a new 750 Virago the first year they came out as I wanted to take my sister on a tour of Alaska. The bike was cheaper than a Sportster and I thought it would be more reliable. A week after I bought it I noticed a cylinder had a crack in it, probably came from the factory cracked. Drove around the state for 2 weeks waiting for the engine to blow wishing I had bought the Sportster.
I love how cafe builders are starting to use the holins race forks now in days👍👍👍
Britney Shaw you mean ohlins?
Hey it was a great time doing this video with you, and it came out freaking amazing
+Jake Bandaruk Thanks Jake, glad you like the video! And thanks for your patience and assistance. Remember to share it on Reddit!
nice rear tail - light flasher set up = no fall and break flashers off , GREAT design :)
Absolutely amazing bike! I have a YAMAHA R1 and i love it!
Your bike really looks and sounds fantastic. Understated and classy.
Holy jesus. This is a killer build.
that pin is right on the balls, must be comfortable
The builder seems like a really cool cat. Cool bike.
It works, it works god damn it, when retro meets modern.
Great looking bike, great T shirt 😉
Thats it i need to build a cafe racer.
Very good looking bike. Clean, bright real eye-catcher!
Jake your bike is pretty much perfect man!
Absolutely awesome well put together
I just modified my 82 virago 920. I removed the Cycom and square headlight. I put on a round digital Tach/speedo and a round LED headlight. It looks so much better.
nice bike, nice sound, good job putting it together.
amazing built man
Beautiful styling. great job...both designer and client for having the sense to give the artist "creative control'....nice nice look.
if I had the pesos...I'd hire this fellow to do my Honda CB-1. Get it dialed in a properly looking.
"The caliperrrerrrrr"
Awesome design I love this bike
T shirts and canvas plimsolls are the new essential pieces of safety clothing it seems!
+Luke Hattersley Jake will start training as an Air Force pilot soon. He's probably just practicing being in dangerous situations.
+The Moto Channel that's no excuse!
great rebuild. love the styling.
i love greg's setup but i'm sure i can make it work with a little of my own inspiration, little details make a huge diferrence, about 2013 i sized my ducati 1098 engine so a sold it by parts, keept the front forks and wheel, brakes, triple, and electronics, i think this guy has a really good idea here the way his virago looks is strong and an authentic road eater, but as i said before, more work is need it to make an authentic piece of art, for the fuel tank i have a friend with a panigale, his tank is dented, i'm still waiting him to come here ready for order a new one and dump the old one , guess where??? yeah ....in my hands... i was thinking in benelli but i made a sketch with the manigale's and man its mind blowing... one question is it me or the viragos price has been reaching the sky in the last months??? my friend from the panigale bike was looking for a virago too but we couldn't find any below $2,500. i bought mine in $700 but i think it was good luck...
love the Slayer Shirt too!
This dudes entire store of bike designs are exactly what I'm looking for, sadly I'm international so shipping would suck.
I. Am definitely going to buy this same bike I loved it bro
Is a beautiful motorcycle, nice work. 👍🏼
my dream bike..super cool
nice lamps, I like this
DUDE U OWN """DIS""""!!!
Amazing job
I like the custom fab seat/frame mod all in one. looks super stable having the seat basically being a frame member. I need to get working on my POS, but parts are pricey :/
+Sir Charles You should visit the jtecmoto.com website to see more of Jeff's builds. He really likes this style of custom Virago.
+The Moto Channel cafe virago builds generally end up looking the same, not that its a bad thing. but just the way he did the seat and seat-frame was very unique and looked so clean. very nice fab work! I'd like to see builds of different brands from him.
dam what a sweet bike !!!!!!
great build......
Did the triple tree from the r6 fit right in without any modifications?
Very cool motorcycle
i'll build my sportbike to cafe racer, it's gonna be awesome!!!!!
Ibnu hasm did you start that project? I'd be very interested to see how it goes...
really nice bike.
great job
Fucking Beautiful Machine
awesome bike!!!
what is the rear and front tire size?
Hi Jeff and Jake how are you? I have bought a Vitago XV1000(TR1) one year ago and in the contrary to my previous cafe racer, I didn't have time at all to make this one after my newborn baby. I am having problems with...guess?...Starter Clutch of course! Since you are the master of the Viragos, do you have any tricks around this common issue? I really appreciate any enlightenment. Best regards
Did you have to modify the frame for the R6 shock? That bike sounds great.
really love the idea but it really needs more work on it, more sanding on the tail, look at it , still pin holes from bondo, its a little twisted, i love the front forks look, they look sturdy and strong, not like others cafes...
+fireblade639 Just out of curiosity, have you also built a virago cafe racer. We always wonder what the commenters ride.
How much does it cost to have something like this built? Its amazing!
+xsonz2 You can contact Jeffrey at JTECMOTO.COM who built the bike for a quote. Of course it's always cheaper to do it yourself, but takes much longer. Just google "Stanley Tang cbass" to find Stanley's detailed build thread on viragotechforum.com.

+The Moto Channel The link tells me to log in... Do you have another link?
slayer shirt ftw
Hi! Nice build! Congrats! I am in the process of build exactly the same bike and year and I'd like to ask you about the rear shock. I am in the process of choosing one. This one you using came from a R6 right? Wich year? It was the right size (length)? Do you have pics of the shock in details? Do you modify the frame or the swingarm to match the shock? hanks a lot!
for the monoshock, how did you mount it? is it direct swap or not? the upper eye don't needs to turn 90 degrees no?
very beautifull
Damn! That bike is Fat as Hell!!! Damn nice Build!!
How can I contact the bike builder....the website given is not available
Hi! Great job! Wanna rebuild my honda steed into a caf)
How did you shorten the trail?
Which traverses applied?
Dud you rebuilt the rear swingarm?
Where did you put the airfilter?
Is there a build thread on this bike? I'd like to know how to do the gen 2 rear wheel conversion. I like how the r6 front wheel more closely matches the gen 2 virago rear wheel.
Sweet
what year was the front end from and did it go on fine or was there any mods done to make it fit
I'm curious about the rearsets/gearshifters. We're they custom fabricated?
So mint
Saw this on reddit a while ago
+RockstarFishy Yeah, Jake said he put photos of the bike up on Reddit some time ago. Would be cool if someone would post this video too. Do you know how to do that? Where on Reddit could this video be posted? Thanks for watching man!
+The Moto Channel reddit r/motorcycles or r/caferacers
+The Moto Channel i totally forgot to tell you that i did post the video on reddit as soon as you posted the video!
+Jake Bandaruk Thanks Jake!
damn i need that bike
I am about to raise the fuel tank on my '82 virago 920, do I need to throw on a second petcock like you did here or change the location of the stock petcock?
Is that Back break work properly ?

How much did it cost to build the bike ?

How did you go about elevating the gas tank?

How much does this type of project cost? Sorry for asking.

How much does it cost to build a motorbike as this?
Great build guys! What's the top speed?

If you don't mind my questioning, how much would a build like this cost me?
Are you selling this ? Definitely going to buy it. :)

I Love this motorBike, Great job man.. btw whats its mileage?
How you adapt the rear shock??
What is the width of the wheels?
How much would a build like this cost?
Why do you use the rearwheel of a younger Virago? Were is the advantage, or even the difference? All because of the rims?
The newer virago wheel has a style that more resembles the non stock Honda front wheel.
Honda ?
