rear swingarm setup that maintains the shaft drive is fantastic. Great idea and execution.

I've been dying to see more of this bike just amazing!

Great job on the build

Great work... So Beautiful

That is a beauty!

wonderfull work of art

Best cafe racer I've seen I have a 1978 gs 550 that I'm converting it's very difficult I wish I could have gotten my hands on a cb but no regrets.

wow. incredible drive system.

Another great video guys.

shaft drive is very cool

I really dig the look of this bike.

So, how did you calculate a turbo from a 2 liter motor would be the right choice for a 1/2 liter? When would it ever begin to spool?

Beautiful streetfighter. What a beast.

That's the direction Harley should be going.

I have to first start off my saying the bike looks awesome and slick as well. With that being said the only critique I may have would be on the welds done. Being a welder as a profession and career, GTAW AKA TIG is no easy task. It really takes away from the amazing look that was established in the build. Wont be able to see it going down the highway but only parked on display grabbing a brew with the boys at the local bike night. Awesome just non the less.

Not sure if you guys are aware that a twin cylinder engine requires a large air plenum between the turbo and the intake manifold. This is because the intake strokes are only every 360 degrees of a crank rotation. If you don't have it you can have problems with fuel control due to the pulsating airflow.

Very cool

Rob, Yeah I have everything I pulled off the bike...I pulled it carefully too with the intention of selling it. It is an ecotrons ECU with imjectors all tuning connections and A/F ratio measuring sensors etc...let me know if you are interested.

i might start saving now

Do you have a video showing how the rear wheel was machined and fitted on the original rear hub? Awesome skills guys!

thats pretty sick that they placed that little slot to connect the labtop for sensor checks.

No air filter ,unfinished welds,some of the hardware are less than ideal. Bike is brilliant in concept and engineering,with small caveats listed .

NICE.

SWEET !!!!!!!

Awesome bike! I have to wonder at one point you said the engine internals weren't touched due to building on a budget? I had to chuckle... What the heck kind of a budget? 45K?

Looks awesome! Which EFI system did you use on this bike?

Fucking beautiful!

what ecu did you use for the fuel injection?

nice

frame is full custom made? looks awesome! but front rim has dent.

Btw, the project is great but the welds are kind of ugly...

DANGEROUS !!!! I can think of about 1000 scenarios where someone gets injured with this.

how did u calculate the turbo size? how's the calculation or what's the program?

Does anyone know what specific predator light he's referring to? Can't seem to find it.

Normally I wouldn't waste my time with negative comments, but I build Turbo bikes for a living and have since the late 70z. Whoever sized the turbo and designed the system, doesn't have a clue.

What was the bugdet? Also, what was the top speed with the turbo?

i have a doubt, there is turbocharger under the rider's seat right it may make rider uncomfortable because of higher tempretures. any solutions for that?

does anyone know what throttle bodies they used for the engine? I have an ascot vt500ft they i want to convert to fuel injection for turbocharging

How do you connect your laptop to a bike ? What system has he installed ? Anyone please help me !

What ECU did you use for this build?

Innovative ideas with the rear suspension/axle and turbo concept. I did hear it breaking up a bit in the beginning acceleration scene. Best of luck, great overall execution.

I may Have missed it... But is that license plate location legal?

Does anybody know what year 954RR front end this bike has??

where is the battery located?

Where can I find that headlight?

what is the price of this beautiful machine?

oooooo yeah

is it possible to turn my 83 shadow 500 into a cafe racer?

What is the gas tank???

Awesome bike please change the bolts holding the headlight and the radiator shroud. Look like they came fro, my hardware store. Takes away from all that amazing work.

how much was this bike?!

Sounds like it needs a bit more tuning. Good looking bike though!

How many bhp do you get out of it?

Is Dragos Toma from Romania?

I'm a hobby fabricator, and this bike looks thrown together. Still a lot of work in the bike, and I respect anyone that has a go, but I wouldnt be happy to be paid for work like that.

cool design.. too bad the fab work is subgrade. The welds look like a 10 year old did them, and the vacuum lines are all over the place.

Very cool bike and well executed ideas in design both in the frame and engine but those are some of the UGLIEST welds I've ever seen outside of a high school welding class.

why turbo a 500? good concept but I think that build was half assed. I wouldn't have been happy as a customer

I agree the welds look terrible. Cool idea but sloppy construction

id love a cb750 bored to 915cc with a turbo lol

Looks like the front wheel may have smacked into the intercooler...............oops.

should have used cb700s front end with trac shocks

Shocking welding. Was the bike supposed to look like a 12 year old put it together in his dad's shed ?

I would add the horsepower improvement for this system.

They make a street bike looks very complicated. Ok for the turbo, but for a cafe racer that requested for a daily use come on, its too much i guess.

Cool bike, but the tigweld looks like shit. Not a good welder myself, but then i grind them down .

That turbo is way to big for an engine with that displacement, a GT15 is intended for a 1800cc engine, I can't imagine it being very effective on a 500cc twin.

pretty bike welding looks like a 6 year old did it

“Uummm”

Those welds looks like crap. Atleast grind them on the frame and put a coat of paint on it.

Told myself I wasn't gonna be that guy...BUT, after having read Kyle.... These guys are clowns! WELDS??? Really? That thing makes boost??? When?

nice bike, really.... terrible, terrible welds, really....

On first glance the design is awesome. But yeah you guys definitly need a lot more knowledge to pull off a build like this. Not an expert welder here by no means: but as many said before those welds are really really ugly. As a non expert welder, I could even probably do a better job, and that says a lot. What I also do not understand is why for simple break lines at the front there has not been chosen for braided stainless ones. That's a must have upgrade even if you wouldn't have replaced the front end for you know: better handling, suspension, and ehm... braking performance with those huge ventilated discs and modern calipers.

UMMM

LOL

thvrew

you can hear it starving for gas at 10:34 haha what a piece of shit. its a damn shame cus i could have done a great job on that bike myself. when i can get a nice tig setup at my house someday, ill be putting mf's out of business.

whos blind grandma did those welds and why didnt they powder coat the frame, grips are held together with zip ties, very poor quality. they should have purchased an engine seperately and totally built a frame around it, considering they pretty much built a bike but kept the platform of an old engine

I like the idea but, did you have a small inexperienced child lay the welds? I would not pay for this work.looks like the front tire and the intercooler kiss each other from time to time. not good. someone with very little mechanical ability and enough research could build a better bike. step it up, please.

Fuckin thing is dodgy as.
