When you said you were going to tear it down, I didn't expect you to turn the whole bike into a pile of parts! Mad respect dude.

[@BayCityRestorations]

Appreciate it man!

[@Doomsara]

I know everyone love their bike.. but I can just imagine how great a love towards a bike can be if you built it the way you do. Hat off my friend!

[@BayCityRestorations]

Thank you! Nothing like riding a bike that you build with your own hands! 💪🏻

[@Drew_Reviews]

i had to let out an audible "oh hell yeah" when i saw that seat color, looks amazing

[@BayCityRestorations]

haha some people seem not to like the red but I love it! When I was younger I always loved the BMW's with red interior.

Beautiful build! The combination of the color was a killer. Congratulations and thank you for giving art!

Yes, just seat should've been black. Besides that it was spot on

[@notrut]

Nah ... I liked the RED

[@rangerjones5531]

That tail light is so sweet! And it works too, there’s too many customs with tiny lights that you can’t see in our bright Texas sunny days. I’ve been building custom bikes for 34 years and this build blows me away! Great job, top tier skills .😎👍

[@BayCityRestorations]

Really appreciate your feedback! I always try to make sure all turn signals and brake lights are as bright and visible as possible! I never understood putting tiny lights on customs that you can’t even see. I guess they just don’t plan on riding them much.

Beautiful

The function (design) of the engine relates to it's appearance. The engine's appearance is a major element in overall style. A true marriage of art and function.

Dude, this is a masterpiece! your workmanship is outstanding!! Great video, and i can't understand why anyone would take the time to dislike this video, let alone 442 people!!!

[@BayCityRestorations]

I really appreciate it man! There are always purist out there that don’t like to see these bikes modified no matter what condition they are in. I’m sure they are majority of the thumbs down.

[@PierredeCur]

Because there are still some old farts like me who have lived the times of real café-racers when nobody ever fit off-road or mixed tyres on a café because it's an aberration... We don't criticize the work but just that they call "café-racers" what are an antithesis of a real café-racer... :-)

[@nugget6644]

I cannot believe how good this blue goes with the red seat. This is just... outstanding.

[@BayCityRestorations]

I appreciate it!

[@studio1501]

It’s been said over and over what a fantastic job you did on this bike and I could not agree more. The other thing I want to compliment you on is the outstanding video work you did putting together the visual segments of the build.

[@BayCityRestorations]

Thank you, I am still very new to filming/editing. Your kind words are what encourages me to keep learning and improving for the next build series!

[@minidisco72]

Beautiful work, very clean - great choice in colours as well. My only 2 issues with this final format of the bike are with the location and mount type of the licence plate, and with the total lack of fenders which makes this a "fair weather ride" bike only otherwise you're covered in grime and road splash...

[@nathanjames4242]

Man, seems like a super straight forward build. Where there any other significant modifications / fabrication that needed to be done besides whats shown in the video?

[@BayCityRestorations]

The Jax garage front end kit makes the front end swap very easy. Other than welding in the seat hoop and electrical modifications everything is pretty straight forward.

I feel like it would have looked a lot classier with a leather seat instead of that red one

[@scottziegler8094]

Red seat looks great!

[@kushpaladin]

black leather would have been 100% better than the red, it would blend in really well with the black frame

[@rishyamarnath1791]

[@Brian-ti7xm]

Pretty cool Looks comfortable Definitely love a fast, motor swapped/modified grom myself, especially for getting around town without any expressway usage I like switching through gears but honestly, I fell in love with a modified cvt moped. Which lead to my appreciation of groms and old Cafe racer styles. I had more enjoyable experiences with a modified moped than I ever did with any other vehicle. It just wasn't awesome in the rain, or if it was WAY TOO COLD, or if the wind was "magically against me instead of magically with me" Easily the most fun thing to ride when speed Limits are 50 and below is a moped or grom or cafe racer style, but for higher speeds and long distances... I'd probably just recommend a car/suv/truck... unless you absolutely love 2 wheels then you need a bigger bike...

[@vanwagner176]

UOU, what an incredible bike. This video made this looks easy lol!

[@bjornjayk]

Man, that R at the end stole the show for me. Absolutely beautiful. I like K builds but I'm not keen on your choice of colour accents. Personal preference, obviously, but there's just something off about which bits are blue and which are red. And then there's the matte silver/grey pipes, foot pegs and fork tubes. Anyway, great job. Another great bike restored. All the best.
