did you see a CDI on that bike?

Can I have the link of the rear led stop lights and the little part for the 50% power brake you add to the stop cables please

Im having a hard time finding foot control setups to finish my build, can you send me a link to where you found yours please?

People usually give you a lot of looks when you’re riding on the sidewalks 😂

I need one of these. Nice bike

Insanely cool, what about the exhaust exit location? Doesn't it blow directly on your foot?

Hi I'm sorry why change the solenoid and the rectifier/regulator the original one can't work?

How did you figure out new wheels with the shaft drive?

Man that bike is so lucky that it found you ; )

Nice work sir!

A USD fork at the front and drum brakes at the rear. That somehow doesn't seem to make sense. The motorcycle isn't nearly sporty enough to justify the Gixxer USD fork. But if it's for the looks...

so little noise, i was expecting something that would wake up the entire neibhourd

Bug on you 1:30

What size pipe and what tank mounts did you use to mount the tank?

As we say in the UK, that looks the dogs bollocks ( that’s a compliment 😉), I’m currently building a Virago cafe racer myself (with a mad exhaust system), if it turns out anywhere near as good I’ll be happy👏

14K trouble-free miles on my 2022 Guzzi 850 Special. Baked-in routine is check the oil before I start and check the tyres while it's warming up. It's such a reliable engine and so easy to work on, I also check the valve tolerances once a month too (10 min job both sides). These engines go on forever with very basic maintenance (and oil). 14K is barely run-in. Great vid.

My first bike was a 1966 Honda Sport 50.. I purchased through a True Value hardware store. The next year an actual stand alone dealer opened. There was a dream sitting on the floor and man, I really wanted it but it seemed so big for a 16 year old.

Do you use half moon wrenches as a motorcycle technician?

Does it stop smoking when its cleaned or just stop after awhile?

I had a Dream 150 in 1963 as a sophomore in high school. The first thing I did was pull the resonator tubes out of the mufflers. The second thing I did was pull the mufflers completely off. probably lost some power, but it sounded bad ass.

Hi, I saw an engine having same symptoms having melted it's main bearings, the shells on the crankshaft, so that yes, it would run perfectly at idle and knock its pistons against the head when revved.. so, I replaced crankshaft, all bearings, and while there had rings done and valves resurfaced.. goodluck. That guy needs to participate and learn to maintain properly a bike, not just 'look cool on a Guzzi'..

That wierd front fender bothered me. It shouldn't have, I have owned two '48 Indian Chiefs with "deeply valenced front fender"

Mirrors are for watching your shoulders,

Thank you for reminding me to drop in a little rtv in each side to deal with the gouges. I’ve been hacking away at this junk all day and forgot about my paint stripper wheel. Will give it a shot.

Nice build where did you get your front brake rotors I like the design. Building a 77 xs750-2d Yamaha cafe racer ..

It's a CA78, not CA77. Honda changed the designation in 1965. Check the serial number on the frame, near the left side center mount.

Is that battery large enough for this build? Same bike! Not sure what to buy

I've got those little wheels but I don't like the idea of small particles getting in my engine. I would feel much better about holding a towel on the inside and spraying the edge with brake cleaner. How well does brake cleaner loosen the stuck on gasket?

What tires please? Love those!

Lol that's aluminium youll f u the surface

Did you have to do anything special to get the triple tree to work on the virago frame

My brother bought a Honda Dream to ride. I was 14 at the time and we lived on a farm. My brother made me get on it, told me to give it some gas and let out the clutch. I lived on a farm so there were many fields linked together. I had no idea where the brakes or shift or where any controls were , except the throttle. And here I was riding a Honda Dream down through the fields. I was able to turn around and go back up to the barn. When I got there, the only thing I knew how to do was to turn the key off to stop. It scared the heck out of me. I also loved the experience. I'm 69 years old and still love riding motorcycles and yes, I own a Honda.

Well done. It looks better than it would have done when it left the showroom.

i have a 600 hornet....next time ill get a 919

Nicejob😮😢

PRECIOSA.

Great tip! Thanks!

The moment the music drowned out the purr of the engine I exited the video. Stop it.

this was awesome and very informative. Gonna help me with my 1978 dt 175 build im working on! next step, also stripping all the electronics. Curious thoug, im looking to fork swap for better suspension and a front disc brake. Does anyone know of a good front end for that?

Hi, i was wondering how you tackled ricks rectifier/regulator .i see two wires (assuming positive & negative)but there should be a third brown wire for a fuse box and main switch. How were those items connected to the rectifier?

Is there a video that would bore me with a wire by wire by wire walk through?

I'm about to buy one in excellent condition, are clutch plates, and cables hard to find? I'm sure things like brake shoes will be a pain

Craftsman is one of my favorite screwdrivers 👍🏼

Well done! Great camera work, top quality production and audio. I just bought a ‘67 to restore and your work is invaluable! Good to see a young fellow with skills like this. Roy

Great videos and workmanship. I feel your pain having made that same mistake with the perches on a CB77. @kosmotocustoms

You need to learn how to jump(push) start your bike. Roll it down an incline in 1st gear with the clutch in. release clutch when up to speed. and viola!

I had one of these when I was 16! I am 70 now. It’s a butt ugly bike, but at 16 it was two wheels and a motor! Love what you did with this bike!

dad had one dream 250 66 when he was single ,I"ll get one for restore and gift it to him,nice restore greatings from Lima Perú

My mom use to take me yo school on one of these. Sat in the back of the garage for years. Was my first bike and I'm getting it ready for my son now. He's been riding a little 110 dirt bike I got him ar 13.

Good job, young man. That's a lot of work and it turned out to be a nice clean build. You took your time to do it right. Word of caution: don't leave the voltage regulator (or is it the rectifier) cable hanging under the bike. If it snags on some debris, you lose charging capability or worse, you lose all power if the positive grounds to the frame. Kudos on the build.
