Thanks for watching Peter, and thanks for the kind words. I love the bike. Nothing like the sound it makes. I think knowing every piece and having a connection to it is important. Ride safe

Thanks 🙏 very much appreciated

Thanks for tuning in 👍

Thanks John

Thanks for tuning in. There are over 50 videos in the build series. Lots of work haha. But it was worth it. 👍

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated 👍 it was a steep learning curve, but a really enjoyable build. Fun to be able to use the bike too. Thanks for tuning in.

Hmmm nice feedback Chris. I may need to take a look into that. 👍

Thanks for checking out the build series Jim and for the kind words

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏 Yes it’s nice to see it come back to life

Thanks 🙏

Brilliant feeling!! Good luck with the 400. Such a nice bike. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for checking out the build series 👍 we’re just about finishing the seat for the KZ750 budget build series. Would be interested to see what you thought of that one.

Delighted to hear you’re starting your first build. If you ever need anything, or even just some motivation, just reach out! The community is really strong, and very supportive. Happy building 👍

🙏

👍

Haha it’s a good feeling. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for watching 👍

Hey Chase, thanks so much for the kind words. It was an amazing experience. I’ve definitely gotten the bug for it now. Finishing the build really gave me a ton of confidence to get off my butt and try my hand at more “scary” projects. Good luck with your build. If you ever need help or some encouragement just reach out. 👍

Thanks Peter 👍 you’re right, it is a lovely piece. I can’t imagine the front end without it now.

Is that the stock fender? It's identical to the one on my '77 Goldwing.

Good catch! The front end is from a 78 GL1000

Thank you 🙏

Thanks for checking out the build series 👍

Thanks for checking out the build series 👍

Thank you 🙏 also, thanks for checking out the build series.

Thank you 🙏

Hi Noah, delighted to hear that. I got the seat from Tuff Side seats in the USA. They do great stuff. Also, make sure to check out the playlist for season one. There is almost 50 videos for the complete build. You may find it helpful, or at least you’ll see what not to do 😂 happy building

🙏

Nice! Glad you're enjoying the build. Thanks for tuning in.

Thank you 🙏

Hey man, thanks for checking out the video. Man I’m delighted to hear you’re considering giving it a go. I had zero experience when I started the build. It’s daunting I know, but the community is amazing, and you can find anything you need to from KZfaq and online forums. I can’t encourage you enough :) you won’t be sorry. In the first video of season one, I made a video setting up the reason why I was going to give it a try, and I had no confidence with it. I’ve learned so much, and have so much more confidence with it. The hard part, is making yourself stick to it. The build may take you a year or two, so it’s important to give yourself a realistic deadline. If you ever need help, just reach out 👍

The welder I use is from Canadian Tire. I'll put a link below. It welds using both MID and Flux Core which is really handy. Its runs on 110v and it easy to use. They regularly go on sales for approx. $250 CAD. www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mastercraft-mig-and-flux-welder-0588195p.html#srp

Thanks for tuning in Chris. The clip ons were from Amazon, www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B073VHT83L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 They are good quality. But I don't think I would recommend them as you don't have adjustment for the angle, only up/down along the fork and rotating away or toward the rider. I hope that helps.

🙏 Gracias - CB750K with GL1000 front end

Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks Man 👍 Make sure to shout if we’re both there. Always down to talk motorcycles!

Thank you kindly 🙏 I bought the seat from Tuffside. Thanks for tuning in

Bahahaha 😂 I’m surprised that wasn’t the case! Luckily she is a patient woman haha. Thanks for checking out the series 👍

Thanks 🙏 for the CB750 build in season 1, I used the CognitoMoto rear set. For season 2 we’re going for a budget build, so we’ve gotten some from Aliexpress. They haven’t come in yet, but will be doing an episode on mounting them once they do. Thanks for tuning in 👍

Thanks 🙏 Season two is a budget cafe build. Check it out if you have time 👍

Hi Arnie, thanks for tuning in. I’m hoping to mount that on the CB750 this winter. I also want to do a little tidy up on the wiring. I’ll make sure to pop a video up on the set up. I like the GS1000. It’s a really nice bike.

Thank you 🙏

I used the Motogadget M-Unit controller and because of that I could use the RebelMoto pushbutton controls. I bought the clutch lever from Amazon, however, I wouldn't recommend this lever. I believe DimeCityCycles have better ones for the same price. I ended up using the stock master cylinder. In Season one, I have videos showing the install of the switches and the M-Unit in detail along with links in the descriptions which you may find interesting. If you go to the "CB750K 1977 Cafe/Brat Build" playlist, you will see the video. Happy building :)

Hey nice work on the gl500. They're a lovely bike. Not sure if you like the tail light that I used on mine, but its very inexpensive and pretty well made. In the season 2 budget cafe build series I'm doing currently, we have just bought another the same as for the Kawasaki KZ750.

🙏

Awesome! Good luck 👍

Hi Sean, the seat is from Tuffside and the details are: Universal Flat Seat - Upswept tail - kick-up - Seat Inlay Color: Dark Brown - Main Seat Color(back&sides): Dark Brown - Stitch Color: Natural - Stitch Style: Diamond Stitch - Seat Size: Big Honda (universal) I hope that helps, there are more details in the build series within the playlist on how I fitted it and made the latching system if you're interested. Thanks for tuning in. Steve

Hey thanks for checking out the build. There‘a an entire build series playlist. Check it out. Also there is an episode on the build cost here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNxxlrtlla-YYH0.html

Hey thanks for watching. I wouldn’t recommend the clutch lever. I bought it from Amazon and I want to change it. The brake and master cylinder are the originals from the CB750K. The headlight I can for sure recommend as I’ve used it on two builds now and it’s excellent. You can find it here: www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B07Z5PDTTN?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

@@cafechronicles thank you! I will look into that. In the middle of a 350 build atm. Cheers!

Awesome! Good luck! 👍

🙏 thanks for watching

Thanks Devin, we’re getting there. Trying to keep the budget down and the motivation up. Thanks for tuning in, much appreciated 👍

Hi Michal, the honing tool I bought from Princess Auto, however you will find them in any good tool store. You can find them here: www.princessauto.com/en/2-to-7-in-engine-cylinder-hone/product/PA0008907750

Also is this a nighthawk? I have a nighthawk 650 and the tank is full of rust. I dont want to go through the hastle of cleaning it out and want to swap it for a bigger tank. What kind of tank is that and do you think it will fit my nighthawk?

Hey thanks for watching. I’ve actually used this headlight on another build we’re working on currently. It’s on Amazon. Here’s the link to the episode. The link to the headlight is in a parts list in the video description kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9CDnquh3-DNqo0.html this tank is from the CB750 K8 1978. Not sure about sizing. But I bet you could make it fit with some mods either way

@@cafechronicles thank you. Also where did you locate the battery? I dont recall seeing it in the video. Did you get a low profile battery and relocated it elsewhere?

Man I know what you mean haha! Check out the vid where I made the decision. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fr-gbLaa1ZaudnU.html

When it’s an obsession it gets easier 😂 thanks for checking out the build series 👍

Thanks 🙏 it was my first build, so it was a steep learning curve. Also I didn’t have a heater in my garage the first winter, so I lost a few months. That all being said, about 1.5 years. Thanks for checking out the video. I made a build series that gets into the details.

Thanks for checking it out 👍

Hey thanks for tuning in 👍 I found David Silver, eBay and 4into1 to be the main help. Links below: www.davidsilverspares.com/CB750K-FOUR-1977-USA/ 4into1.com

@@cafechronicles thank you

Haha I know what you mean. Even deciding what to name the KZfaq Playlist was a dilemma 😂 thanks for tuning in 👍

I've had mixed reactions on that seat. In season 2 we're building our own custom seat with a small cowl, I'd be interested to hear what you think. Thank's for checking out the build series.

@@cafechronicles :) Yes that is a bit what I ment. Back in the seventies our café racers had a littile Cowl too. Its maybe from there I have it. My first motorcycle was a Kawa 650 z With clip ons way to low on the fork, and sloping down..... But I believe you are doing a great job. I dont critisize your work.

Thanks for the great feedback and for checking out the builds 👍 It sounds like you were in the scene back in the day, I’m jealous. I like having your feedback, especially with your background, so thanks for reaching out 🍻

👍

Thanks for watching 👍 Sorry there was no engine sound 😂 you can hear it better on this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtVxq8Vmsc3LoWg.html

🙏

Noted, also, thank's for checking it out.

Thanks for the feedback Ruben

👍
