KZ750 Scrambler: New rear shocks

[@ericweber1969]

Build looks really good! What shocks are those? I didn't see a link to them in your notes. Let us know how well they work for you, and keep up the great work!

[@2laneblacktop943]

Use 4 concrete lag nuts flush with the floor that way you can drag the bender out , lag bolt it to the floor , use it then just remove 4 bolts and stow it.

[@ryanzub5870]

Exactly what I would do, great suggestion!

[@TahitianRider]

Well done on your new place & garage man, from a fellow cafe racer builder/youtuber, it's nice to see how your workshop is getting so nice, definitely a dream workshop for me :) bikes are looking good too! keep it up!

[@Teaguejc]

Use drop in anchors. Lowes and Depot have them. They'll install flush with the floor, allow you to bolt bender to floor when needed and remove the bender when not needed. I did this in my garage at my old apartment for my manual tire changer. Worked great. I put rubber plugs in the anchors when not in use so the threads wouldn't get clogged with dirt and debris.

[@westjammin]

in my sculpture class we had a pipe bender attached an old car wheel with a tire on it - this kept it stable but also let you walk it out when you needed more room around it

[@kevinbirmingham3833]

nice to see the vids coming out again. enjoying my early sat morning catching up.. now its time to get my ass in my garage and get going!

[@johnpate4982]

Man the shop looks amazing. I can’t wait to see the bike finished.

[@ReignitedAuto]

On the last two "cafe" type bikes I built I made little battery boxes for lithium ion batteries that mount to the rear cross member directly under the swing arm pivot. Requires a little extra wiring but they hide pretty well under there, and it keeps the upper "triangle" area looking really clean.

[@SebastienCote-rj1qv]

Very Nice installation and projets ! Beautiful workshop !

[@jimallen199]

The new shop is looking great

[@atcjoe1600]

Man ,you must have been working your butt off getting things done. Looks good.

[@fabianmurray7230]

New shop looking nice

[@Motor-City_Ben-Diesel]

So lucky to have a shop like that. I will too one day!

[@davem7385]

Good job man love the new digs. Flatten out the bracket to bring the fuse box up higher. Keep her lit !

[@knockoutcustoms7477]

Cleaning up the electronics is what I'm doing on my triumph chopper as I'm watching this right now.........and obviously commenting on here😎

[@BigBadJones]

I'm looking at picking one of these bikes up soon. Your videos are inspiring.

[@norbertr823]

Boy you've put in a ton of work, the shop looks amazing 👍 KZ coming along nicely too

[@rickjames8510]

holy shit that shop space is pure

[@sevenity2677]

Epoxy nuts in the floor. Use two different bits so the bolt goes far down but the nut doesn’t move. This will allow u to remove bolts and have no studs poking out.

[@MotoMango]

DUDE! Your shop is so amazing haha really turned out awesome. Stoked to follow this build too.

[@ClassicOctane]

Thanks!

[@waynemartinez8620]

Great to see back working on the bike! I'm jealous of the new shop! My god it looks great, I have to work on my bike in a harbor height portable garage!!! Congats on the new place very cool!!!!

[@andarthome142]

Whow your new workshop looks great, hope to see a lot of video's from the new workshop :-), as always thumps upp.

[@stingray1116]

I would love to see a full custom bike build. (I mean change almost everything on the bike in some way whether that be color or design) For example, change a dual shock motorcycle to single shock.

[@ClassicOctane]

I have been wanting to do that for a long time. Sounds like fun.

[@mikeeger7581]

You can drill a bunch of little holes in the little half size of openings space where traditional side covers would be

[@Beachmangarage]

Awesome setup! Love seeing all the bikes lined up, Very enviable space!

[@anxietydude1044]

Also youtuber here. - you

[@ClassicOctane]

Thanks!

[@3211Kontakt]

Love the progress man. Shop looks fantastic!!! Cant wait for the next video and to see in the future what you turn this whole thing into...

[@gunandknifenut]

Love the new setup.

[@handtoeknee]

Great job👍 Hope you're going to move that welding magnet off the filing cabinet - it's screaming "I belong on the other side" ! 🤣🤣🤣

[@mikeeger7581]

Yeah I need to know what brand shocks those are please! Thanks

[@kevinbirmingham3833]

the ad was up on his monitor in the beginning of the vid!

[@stingray1116]

Love the garage so far. Amazing job man!!

[@agentnuget]

This KZ is coming along nicely! I want to do my own take on a KZ scrambler hopefully in the soonish future... Assuming I can find one. :P

[@johnfaherty8629]

How about drilling holes in the floor and drop sleeves into them. Use pins that fit through the base of the bender into the sleeves. Since all your force is sideways, don't think it needs to be bolted down.

[@theone2be33]

Cool saloon! Gotta have a beer in there some day! 🍻😎🇺🇸

[@carlbjacob7940]

There we go Taylor, been waiting for you to get the chanel going again :D Nice shop. I think you should go with a smaller and a black head light on the KZ. /Carl from Sweden

[@ssmit80]

I dont understany why you don't just flatten that bracket where the fuse box hangs down. You could either bend it straight, or cut out the downturn and weld it so the whole bracket is flat. That is if it bothers you. I dont think it would be that noticable.

[@johnharvey1451]

Exactly this

[@TheEricstaehlin321]

Very cool love the new set up

[@shedbuiltmoto]

Shop looks great awesome job! Shocks definitely look better. I'd tuck the batt up under the seat somewhere. I wouldn't want any dirt, mud etc. Getting to it if you're taking it off road. More Vids !! CooL 👍

[@rrz464]

Pump them out! I love what you do with these bikes. Still love that Barn to Brat project bike. I am surprised it hasn't sold yet.

[@ClassicOctane]

I haven't really tried to sell it because I want to keep it. I will properly list it soon though. It's time to make room.

[@dumbdog2924]

You might be able to tuck the battery under the carbs and in between the case.

[@scottminshall6420]

Looks good, some good ideas already mentioned for you to mount your tube bender, Nice set up on the computer as well. Looking forward to some new content.

[@garya3056]

Shop looking really fabulous, Taylor! 🏍👍🏍

[@ClassicOctane]

Thanks Gary.

[@FunWithAJ]

That bike is looking great. I really want to do my own old school build now.

[@ClassicOctane]

Do it!

[@harryireland1935]

Shop looking great! Pump out the vids!

[@ClassicOctane]

Thanks!

[@shanegunderson2007]

Taylor is quitting his job and doing this full time???? LOL Probably not true but that would be so cool for him and the channel!

[@GETUPANDGO]

Shop looks great

[@dmasterson12]

Shops looking great. I thought you were gonna place that electronics bracket on top of those threaded holes to tuck the fuse up a little more. Kawi is looking really well overall.

[@bieda_enduro]

Great GARAGE ✌ Greetings from Poland

[@stingray1116]

Are you thinking about adding a paint booth?

[@ClassicOctane]

Maybe a small one for wheels and tanks.

[@manuelf.lozanodiaz3495]

Dude am loving the vives of the new shop, insanely cool bruh successful progress man 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

[@ClassicOctane]

Thanks!

[@lowmsp]

Shop looks amazing! Love the tv for the shop pc. Is that a Mac mini you use for it? Still waiting for the unveiling of the two bikes covered! And hmm 🤔. Going full time KZbin? Curious lol.

[@ClassicOctane]

Thanks, yeah it's a Mac mini.

[@GubuZ06]

Where can you get those rear shocks? Thanks!

[@MyMGBJourney]

1: Can you just pound the electronics bracket flat so it doesn't have that step in it? 2: What happens if you run a lithium Ion battery on the factory reg/rec?

[@ClassicOctane]

You can over charge and damage lithium batteries with a stock regulator. They don't like much over 14V

[@royalwraps8425]

Did you find out if the voltage regulator was compatible with lithium ion batteries?

[@ClassicOctane]

They said it should work fine as long as the battery is designed to work with stock voltage output. I git a Shorai that can handle up to 14.7V so we should be good

[@garywallis3469]

Mount the tube bender device outside and cover it with a gas grill cover. No need to have it under foot in the garage for as often as you will use it.

[@fatbass0561]

Have you checked out cafe racer garage, he made a seat release for one of is bikes. The shop looks great.

[@sevenity2677]

Love the shop man!! I’m ready to have a bigger garage also!!

[@JackLambert180]

What ultrasonic cleaner do you use man?

[@ClassicOctane]

amzn.to/2EbWrlk This one.

[@choverechannel8641]

No sabes como me gustaría poder tener en mi casa todas esas motos y hacer lo mismo que vos Me gusta mucho tu canal Saludos desde Argentina

[@ClemIsRoaming]

I freakin love your workshop !😍 Keep up the good work !👌

[@ClassicOctane]

Thanks!

[@scottvassar6728]

What shocks are they? I been looking for a decent set for my kz

[@mfaris33]

Ever get an answer? Curious too.

[@AlaskaRuzz]

What year is the KZ?

[@red88ization]

what did you decide for the air filter

[@ClassicOctane]

Went with some oval style pod filters that are designed to work better with these carbs. I will show them when I put them on the bike.

[@mikeeger7581]

Kevin B. Thanks for the information I obviously know that already but bc I only have an iPhone I can’t make the screen big enough to see his screen. Lol

[@mikeeger7581]

Get rid of that clear/ white rear reservoir to black metal one ? Please

[@mewserino]

cafe racer garage put his belt sander stand on some kinda wheels, maybe that would work for your pipe bender

[@knockoutcustoms7477]

Well wing nuts to the head of the bolts that mount the seat🤔

[@rayfrazier8783]

It’s awesome your in austin

[@sevenity2677]

Seat use two big bolts and wing nuts

[@minerma]

if you're worried about the look of the relay drop the bike on the ground and have a look

[@sevenity2677]

Use blade fuses. They sale them at Walmart

[@samanthasteele1586]

I scored on a kz750

[@danlav1717]

Fucking mean bro 🤙

[@mikeeger7581]

Nice little custom triangle metal side covers half the size of the space I think looks better than just an open hole ,, every body else does the open hole thing and I think it’s butt ugly like that

[@nathanjava2993]

Just build a small battery box and mount under swingarm

[@ClassicOctane]

I plan on doing some off roading with this bike so I will probably put it somewhere where under the seat so I don't smash it on a rock.

[@rayfrazier8783]

I’ve got a bike I wanna build can I pay you to make and weld a hoop?

[@ClassicOctane]

Hey Ray, Email me some details on the bike and we can work out the details. [e-mail]

[@RicardoFelippeFigueirachardao]

!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AlwaysSearching..]

Should show the work your doing rather than just talking about what your going to do/ done

[@ClassicOctane]

Time lapse or actual real time walkthrough?

[@whatsgoingon27]

Please do more fabrication and less talking
