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...

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...

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.

Your bike really looks and sounds fantastic. Understated and classy.

Very good looking bike. Clean, bright real eye-catcher!

Absolutely amazing bike! I have a YAMAHA R1 and i love it!

Absolutely awesome well put together

Hey it was a great time doing this video with you, and it came out freaking amazing

great rebuild. love the styling.

nice bike, nice sound, good job putting it together.

Is a beautiful motorcycle, nice work. 👍🏼

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.

nice rear tail - light flasher set up = no fall and break flashers off , GREAT design :)

I love how cafe builders are starting to use the holins race forks now in days👍👍👍

Holy jesus. This is a killer build.

amazing built man

It works, it works god damn it, when retro meets modern. Great looking bike, great T shirt 😉

Awesome design I love this bike

Jake your bike is pretty much perfect man!

The builder seems like a really cool cat. Cool bike.

Amazing job

I. Am definitely going to buy this same bike I loved it bro

nice lamps, I like this

my dream bike..super cool

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.

great build......

great job

Thats it i need to build a cafe racer.

love the Slayer Shirt too!

Very cool motorcycle

really nice bike.

dam what a sweet bike !!!!!!

that pin is right on the balls, must be comfortable

"The caliperrrerrrrr"

This dudes entire store of bike designs are exactly what I'm looking for, sadly I'm international so shipping would suck.

T shirts and canvas plimsolls are the new essential pieces of safety clothing it seems!

DUDE U OWN """DIS""""!!!

very beautifull

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 :/

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?

Sweet

Fucking Beautiful Machine

So mint

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...

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.

awesome bike!!! what is the rear and front tire size?

damn i need that bike

i'll build my sportbike to cafe racer, it's gonna be awesome!!!!!

grt invntion bro

Did the triple tree from the r6 fit right in without any modifications?

I'm curious about the rearsets/gearshifters. We're they custom fabricated?

slayer shirt ftw

Sweeeeet!

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?

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?

oh good lord

what year was the front end from and did it go on fine or was there any mods done to make it fit

Did you have to modify the frame for the R6 shock? That bike sounds great.

👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

fuckin beautiful

Great build guys! What's the top speed?

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

How did you go about elevating the gas tank?

Gostei muito

I want one

does anyone recognize (and have a link for) those aluminum ebay levers? i cant seem to find that model

I Love this motorBike, Great job man.. btw whats its mileage?

I have a 82 I want to mod mine just like this bike

How can I contact the bike builder....the website given is not available

its a FUCKING-SPITFIRE. Pd: Be LOVE

it is beautiful, but i just hope that they can do better cable management,

Is that Back break work properly ?

this is fucking beautiful man ! i hope i will own one in the future P.S: I like the helmet bruh! haha sick!

Which bikes fuel tank u have installed in this project.

what speedometer is built in this project?

How you adapt the rear shock??

could you please tell me what year the R6 was.

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

Yeah.. I had one ... It same goes happened to me. a lot people asking me how am made it

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...

Saw this on reddit a while ago

What size tires did you use?

How much does it cost to have something like this built? Its amazing!

Damn! That bike is Fat as Hell!!! Damn nice Build!!

How much it costed building this bike?

How much did it cost to build the bike ?

Can someone tell me the rear tire size? I want that on mine...

how about the frame/chassis ?

What size front tire? Please of anyone knows!

How much would a build like this cost?

can you make the same design with a 500cc?

Are you selling this ? Definitely going to buy it. :)

How much does it cost to build a motorbike as this?

what size tires are those?

Why do you use the rearwheel of a younger Virago? Were is the advantage, or even the difference? All because of the rims?

Very nice 👍🏽 but would look 10x better with spoke wheels!

What size are the tires!?!
