Normally I hate when people make custom cafe builds of the NIghthawk S because I love how it looks stock, but you did a great job. Looks badass.

This is an awesome build! I have an 85 nighthawk sc that I have wanted to customize for some time now. I have seen pics of this bike on the web but just stumbled across the video, killer build!!

The original 700SC is a beautiful classic. You should have left it alone.

Best scrambler build I've ever seen

I’m am head over heel with this I just picked up one to be restored and was looking at parts to get an idea and found your bike that is incredible I had no idea that was even possible

RIP nighthawk

Beautifully done bud! looks fantastic!

Your bike looks like a absolute BEAST!!!!!!

I much prefer the look of the original. That said, your attention to detail produced a great looking build. Well done!

Sweet. Just bought one to build first cafe racer…. Not many of these used as bases

Inspiring 🤘🏻

Now that's a real scrambler. Well done.

beautiful job!

Holy crap...ok...thats awsome dude...iv had my 700sc for 20 years and it's still mint but I could ride that

Wow.Amazing job. Well done

Nice work man!

So awesome

Marvelous

Love it

This would have been an amazing build video or even better a build series. But! Great work looks amazing. Next time....

nicely done

Loving the exhaust, what model and brand are?

è un capolavoro

Looks amazing, I'm getting a 750 soon I'm doing the same, can you share where do you get the parts, front fork, tires, seat

curious it rides on the road with those knoby tires

Sick build my man. Ever finish up the electric on the instruments?

I prefer the original look...

Very nice job. Do you have a parts list you want to share?

Can you give me some details about the seat and tank you used? Maybe the front forks and handle bars.

FUCK that thing is glorious.

Great job what forks

Nice, what front forks? What mods needed to be done to get them to work?

NICE build.. what shocks did you use?

Could you give me some tips of modifying a new seat like that? Trying to figure it out. Thanks

Are these 6 speed on the 700? Top job btw. Just finished mine and the noise they make is 👌👌

Hey man I know this is far into the future but if you don’t mind I’d love to get into contact with you about your build. I just recently got a 85 nighthawk and I absolutely love the build and want to do the same to mine and would greatly appreciate your help!

What forks are those?

Where did you get the tires / what brand ? Nice bike .

What tips are those on the exhaust?

Where did you put the fuse box?

What tires are those and exhausts?

Just a quick question if you see this, how did you get the engine out? Did you start the teardown before you got it out of the frame or did you just shimmy it out? I've got a cb700 as well and try as I might I cannot get the assembled engine removed, and suggestions?

Hi, build looks great!..wanted to know where did u buy the front forks and triple tree or which bike did they come off? I am looking to build a project bike so looking at parts and cost.

😍

Yep yep! Well done sir! How bout a list of parts? Lights bags exhaust etc. My bud is thinking of doing something similar.

What kind of forks are those?

Thats an awesome build but man why do it on a 700s, those are so hard to find original in good condition.

Did you ever put on a speedometer or other gauges or was this the final product?

Is that seat comfortable, I just bought an 84 and I want to replace the torn aftermarket seat that's currently on it.

From which bike did you get the forks and tree clamp from?

How much did it cost you to do this build? Also, how was the rewire? I have an '84 700SC, and this is very interesting.

what make model are those tires?

Looks great, but not reving the engine to make us hear it should land you in prison. Also I'd be worried of melting or cooking the front tire with those hot pipes so close :)

👍🏻

Che forcella monta?

I like the Nighthawk better

Why would you take a bike worth 5,000 to 10,000 if in perfect condition and tear it down to make something worth nothing when there are many other bikes that would have made a better choice ? What a shame !

I mean cool I guess but trashing a perfectly good old original bike, especially what appears to be a 700sc in great shape is, for lack of better term, an asshole move and the reason people hate the whole cafe racer build fad.

i hate all cafe racers sh**s.. original designs rocks, allways. especially japanese bikes.

Ruined a nearly perfect bike design! Loved all the cleaning, restoration, and fabrication skills. But a low clearance without skid plate and with off road tires is, um, ill informed shall we say. Simply, A stupid build.
