  • Here is the timelapse build of my third cafe racer project : a 1984 Yamaha FJ 600 (or XJ 600 in Europe)
    I chose a more difficult motorcycle this time as the XJ 600 is known not to ben easiest one to transform.
    If you want to support me you can get one of my original tshirt from my store : shop.spreadshirt.com/tom-raci...

    The best thing about this build is that the motorcycle remained as close as possible to the original and that's what I appreciated the most 🔥

    Y'kno I'm not even a motorcycle guy, I love american muscle cars. But I have the utmost respect for any person that has the mechanical skills to be able to take an old bike and turn it into something simple, clean, and original. I really admire that you're clearly just doing this in your apartment with what space and time you have. I've seen your other videos and the bikes you build are absolutely beautiful. Forget all the shiny bells and whistles. The bikes you're making are beautiful as just the raw engine on a frame that they are. Keep on keepin' on.

    Nice job, you have taken a vastly underrated bike and turned it into a thing of beauty well done. So many guys just go out and buy that look, most companies make something along those lines trying to catch the hipsters and sting them for a fortune, when they could get into something no one else has for less than half the cost of the new one. Hope the bike gives you years of pleasure.

  • @thomaspigg306
    @thomaspigg306 Před 4 lety

    You made a nice clean looking bike Sir!!! Back when I stripped down my KZ 1300 to a racer, I removed the front (drivers) pegs and welded attachments to the frame and ran my shifter and foot brake to the rear pegs (as well as welding the pegs solid). That way even if someone ask, I couldn't carry a rider (passenger). Put on a 6 into 1 header, pulled the guts (baffles) out of it, removed the turn indicators and everything else I could. Only had a tach on the triple tree (Ain't got no time to look at a speedo!!!). I had the drive shaft and rear hub gears changed by a pro (I'm a country boy!, I don't know anything about such stuff), and she'd top out about 165-170 m.p.h. The reason I know this... That's what I was clocked at. Lost my license for a year, had to pay a crap ton of money to the state and was told if I was ever caught speeding again with in the state they'd revoke my license permanently. Glad I wasn't ever caught afterwards.

    It’s very cool work, of course! but I have only one question, why have you paid so much attention to the tuning of the carburetors and the exhaust system, but you did not do the engine overhaul? regardless of its condition, cleaning channels, changing rubber bands and general diagnostics would significantly increase its lifetime and ride comfort. why not?
