Good grief , someone's actually built a cafe racer that looks like a cafe racer. Nice work , clean and simple build. Lovely bike.

@kdsowen2882 11 ай бұрын

There are some horrible 'attempts' out-there, they mix about three-different-styles and then 'voila' .....it's a cafe'-racer....?

@@kdsowen2882 Some of them drive me nuts. Chop the seat frame off , put a tiny seat on it and hey presto - cafe racer. My standard question to some of these "builders" is can you get your chin on the tank and ride it flat out ? That's when I usually get told to eff off.🤣

Absolutely right! Todays "cafe racers" look like anything except cafe racers.

No, I haven't given up on the Virago. It's going on the backburner until I have the funds to finish the bike properly and do it justice. I'm tired of rushing out bikes. I have another customer XJ650 cafe racer build that I'm going to be taking on, and then we'll get back to the virago. Goal is to have both builds done before the end of the year. P.S. I didn't ride this bike because it wasn't registered/insured.

3M scotch Brite pads you can buy on line or through auto parts stores that sell auto body supplies. Harbor freight has their versions of them and they are much cheaper but seem to hold up pretty good for the price as I've used them both .

The amount of solder gave me a headache. Why prefer it over some perfectly good crimp connectors though? Otherwise A+ fabrication work and the videos are super satisfying to watch 👍

@Doug791 11 ай бұрын

On a bike like this , crimp connectors can be a pain. They can become "loose" due to vibration , they're also prone to corrosion. Solder and heat shrink tubing everytime , ask me how I know.🙄🤣

@@DoctorMotorcycle Yessir, 100% correct. Back in my Harley days I had several Shovelhead Electra Glides. Was fortunate that a life long buddy was one of THE top Shovelhead guys in OH and surrounding states so whatever I couldn't fix I always had a dependable plan B.

Great motor in the DOHC 750, as long as you keep up with correct maintenance. Biggest issue is the long cam chain tensioner as it rarely gets adjusted properly (2 tensioners) DON'T remove air-box unless you like a shit running bike or want to fit different carburetors, the '3 jet' Kei-Hin are almost impossible to get working properly without stock air system. Honda had to send carbs out for modification when they raced 'Superbike' in the 80's, Ledar Race Developments ended up converting carbs to 'conventional' 2 jet style (had to look 'stock' side on from about 30 ft away)

My apologies….REVERSIBLE MODS…. are GREAT mods…great ways to add uniqueness and enjoyment. But cutting frames, fenders or any other rare and not reproduced parts… ( to me) is just losing a little part of history. There was a “ movement” to ban converting World War Two fighter airplanes ( specifically the P51 Mustang) ban the Mustang from being converted into Racing Airplanes. … I’m not for laws banning activities that don’t hurt people. I am for ….. RESPECTING and appreciating tasty old things and not destroying them… So …reversible mods? Yes… permanently chopping ?….. no.
