CB650 Cafe Racer - EP9 (First Ride!)

[@chasehammock8985]

Good job on the exhaust bracket - I am going to fabricate my own as you did. That bike is so cool man I am so glad you posted this series on the CB650 being I am rebuilding mine and I need help and you're giving a ton of it to the community here.

[@mrlongtree]

I've watched the complete series of videos, you've done a really great job. Hopefully you'll have many years of enjoyable riding.

[@1983thunderbird]

You really did a nice job on this build, very sharp looking bike!

[@Caligrizzlibear]

You did a fantastic job! I’m really looking forward to work on my cb650. Really like the look on your bike!

[@vwfreshness459]

If you have a chance to getaway next week you should bring your Monkey to The Key West Conch ride. Another awesome bike build video.

[@ericcampdoras5919]

That came out great! Can’t wait for the final touches

[@eastcoastish]

Man, I spent a lot of time riding today, it rides really nice. Huge relief since I've put all this time and effort (and money) with little idea of how the final product would ride.

[@sportsterrider2087]

Looks great.

[@NickMakesBreaksStuff]

That looks great, very clean. I had a CB350 twin that was done pretty similarly to this style, of course yours sounds better!

[@stuartmoles843]

Looks great, wonderful colour, the only thing I’m not sure about is that exhaust. Great work👍

[@eastcoastish]

Thanks! Yeh, that exhaust came with the bike and i polished it up to finally get it ridable - I may change it up to a megaphone-style can here in the future, would also like it to be a bit louder.

[@philcaleb6078]

Great job!

[@yurisim1]

Really nice, congratulations!

[@dcrickerson7611]

I love it! Nice work!

[@big_blok_hed]

that's a sharp looking bike dude!

[@mauricehill5782]

What size jets are you using for the pod filter

[@baldilocks1914]

I envy you, I wish I could do this kinda stuff. Fantastic looking bike ride it in excellent health.

[@eastcoastish]

Thank you! And it really is easy to learn this stuff. I've always been into cars, but honestly this channel encompasses most of my experiences working on motorcycles. Lots of great content on YT to understand how to do just about anything.

[@baldilocks1914]

@@eastcoastish I’ve got trouble hanging a picture, lol! Either way I really enjoy watching your channel keep it up.

[@baldilocks1914]

@@eastcoastish btw, when your done with that bike let me know where to send the check to. I’m dead serious I really like it.

[@ryanrussell2337]

Nice lawn

[@thomasbackovich3045]

may i have the complete list of parts youve gotten for your bike? that would help me a lot ty

[@eastcoastish]

I'm putting together the list now, I'll have a video detailing the total cost of the bike and will include my Excel spreadsheet with vendor and prices.

[@runcoltrun]

Is your seat only held on by the 1 bolt at the front?

[@eastcoastish]

And 2 bolts on the underside in the back.

[@GetJarfNasty]

What adjustments out of the box did you make to the cr specials?

[@taisonmike4868]

how did you swap to the spoke wheel? would be very nice if you answerme a question.

[@eastcoastish]

If you currently have mag wheels, you'll have to just buy a spoked wheel. I took the original spoked wheel apart, powdercoated the hubs and then had these custom laced to the black rim for the look I was going for.

[@TheDecapitatedApple]

Damn bruh how do I get into this I love the bike but I'm no where near a mechanic

[@DavidGarcia-jv2dp]

Where did you purchase your seat from?

[@eastcoastish]

It's all custom, check out the other videos in the 650 series on this channel for details.

[@alexdoyon6752]

Whats the part numbers of that shorter clutch cable? I got same problem mine is too long?!

[@eastcoastish]

Motion Pro Short Clutch Cable - 02-0124

[@OndraSlez]

nice build ! just finished the cb650 as well - more into the old school style.. you can check out the timelapse build on my channel if youre interested

[@HardAssetsFTW]

How do you make it louder though

[@eastcoastish]

Lots of louder exhaust options. Wasn’t trying to draw too much noise attention in this build.

[@kpraz]

[@eastcoastish]

Michelin Pilot Activ Front: 110/90/18, Rear: 130/80/18

[@squiddy707]
