Hello everyone and welcome back to a new video! In today's video we will start working on my 1981 Honda CB650 cafe racer build. This vintage Honda motorcycle was gifted to me on my birthday last year and I have had plans to build it into a cafe racer / brat style / scrambler build.
Unfortunately, one of the biggest issues with a 1981 honda cb650 ( specifically honda cb650 custom ) is that the frame has a weird "bend" in it. This makes it especially hard when trying to figure out how to mount a cafe racer seat hoop in preparation for a cafe racer style seat. Fabricating a diy cafe racer seat hoop / cafe racer frame hoop will be a bit tricky, but here at thebsrecord diy how to projects are our specialty. I think we can figure it out!

I just picked up an 81 Cb 650 custom as my first project bike to see what I can do with it. I'll definitely be following going forward. I have blown fork seals too so I'll know to watch of for those clips.

Hello, to raise forks higher up the triple tree, try some handle bar riser, and flatter handle bars, good project.

Hey boss! Looks great. Since the 1980 CB650 (not custom) doesn't have that bracket you sawed off, would this seat fit that frame without modification you think?

@@loganhatcher2098 I bought my seat off of their website and a frame hoop was included. It needed to be cut to size, but it came with it. However, this is just my experience, I would shoot them a message and ask of they include one or not.
