Honda CX650 Cafe Racer Build *Time Lapse*

[@princet6084]

Been binging a lot of cafe racer builds since it’s my dream type of bike and this one is probably my favorite I’ve come across

[@maximecouture]

Wow thank you so much!!! You make my day!

[@thomashall6888]

I learned a lot from your video... like how to chop the wattles off the fuel tank. And I love that you showed the body filler putty ... made me feel like I could do it too with my mediocre ability.

[@keithhampton9700]

Best version of CX for Cafe Racer. That tank is way better than other CX models. Great Job!!👍🤯👍

[@maximecouture]

Wow thank you so much!! 😁 I appreciate a lot!!

[@hartjct]

Awesome!! Well done!! Thanks for making this video, it’s very helpful for those of us about to start a similar project. Enjoy!!

[@maximecouture]

Thank you so much James!! I really enjoyed doing it! If you have any questions during your build, feel free to ask. I will try my best to help!

[@AbdulsCycles]

Wow what a great honda cx650 cafe racer..... I've never seen this bike, thanks for sharing

[@maximecouture]

[@antonioperaltaiii7510]

[@maximecouture]

Thanks Antonio!

[@7taddie]

hello! Came across KZbin from Kyoto, Japan and ended up here. Well done!

[@maximecouture]

[@maximecouture]

[@peterroda4181]

[@cristyf1757]

Preciosa, que buen trabajo👌👍👏 me encanta, esa moto cuando va por la calle parte cuellos

[@maximecouture]

Muchas gracias por tu mensaje, lo aprecio mucho! 😁 ¡Sí, obtuve muchas más reacciones de las que podría haber imaginado!

[@wahyuputra4464]

Do you work alone? Watching how you work and have to move the camera is amazing and the results are beautiful 👍🏻👍🏻 I love this cafe racer !!!!

[@maximecouture]

Hey thank you so much! 😁 Yes I did it all by myself. It took maybe twice the time to build it and I destroyed a camera by grinding and welding to close! 😅 But I am happy with the results!

[@AmiraChapman-p5i]

amazing work Bro. Solide! J'aimerais en voie d'autres de tes projets.

[@maximecouture]

Thanks man!! 😁

[@The1kapable]

Chapeau l'Artiste !!Respect :)

[@maximecouture]

Merci énormément!! 😁

[@geezerdave5868]

Nice job My CX650 is ready for a bit of a freshening up.. this is a bit beyond my ability. Very impressed with what the old cow can be turned into though.

[@maximecouture]

Hahaha thanks you so much! If you have any questions feel free to ask. Have fun with your project, I would love to see some pictures!

[@tingles3091]

@@maximecouture where do I even begin to learn how to do this?

[@maximecouture]

@Tingles KZbin is really a great tool to learn it. I didn't know much about motocycle before starting this project. I found a picture of a similar projects I really liked online and I bought the seat and parts to go in that direction. Couples tips I could gave you: Film or take pictures of everything you are about to remove on your bike and it will save you a lot of time rebuilding it. Just start and attacks one problem after the other. I had so much fun making this that I will probably start a new projects with a CX500 and make multiple episodes to detail the steps!

[@1cccseed]

I sold CX650s when they were new I think the fuel tank you have is from the CX650 Turbo I think the original tank was red Maybe I’m wrong It was a long time ago A CX650 turbo would be a great cafe racer Nice job on your project bike

[@maximecouture]

Hi! Thank you so much! When I bought the bike I really thought it was a cx650 turbo as well! But the seller told me that it was instead a CX650E. They really look alike. I found only one CX650 Turbo converted into a cafe racer on internet and yes it look incredible with the turbo mounted under the seat!

amazing work Bro

[@maximecouture]

Thank you so much!!

[@brunopaul4104]

Stunning ! What did you mount as a shock absorber?

[@maximecouture]

Hey Thanks!! I have not change any shock yet, it's all stock. Since le bike is way lighter the ride is a little rough. I am planning to get something else but I don't know exactly what yet.

[@tk-su2qr]

Elle te manque un petit gris pour le radiateur

[@omegaman4153]

Excellent!

[@cedricletourneur5980]

Bravo Max, superbe boulot!!!

[@maximecouture]

Merci beaucoup Cédric !!!

[@nicholasstocker1952]

Brilliant build, thinking of doing one myself. Are you going to change the carbs to some mikuni’s or is that bike running okay with the stock carbs and pod filters?

[@maximecouture]

Hey thank you so much! Yes I plan to change them for some Murray's. I would have to put money in the stock one to make it run perfect and I feel it doesn't worth it. The old carb would work great with the pod filter after a good tune but they need a complete rebuild prior. Good luck with your futur build!

[@serto_art]

Out there you got most of every honda variants, but in India its even very hard to get old cb750. Lol India 🍻

[@maximecouture]

Haha yes they seems easier to find in the USA! Even in Canada they are getting pretty rare! I'm am trying to find a CX500 for a future projet. I really love working on those bike! 🍻 Cheers!

[@maximecouture]

Thank you so much! Terima kasih banyak!

[@manuelkunzl686]

bonjour, excellent travail. tu as rempli le réservoir avec quoi ?

[@maximecouture]

Bonjour Manuel! Merci beaucoup! J'ai utilisé un résine époxy renforcée à l'acier pour remplir les côtés du réservoir.

[@manuelkunzl686]

Pouvez-vous me dire le fabricant de l'époxy? Merci d'avance

[@maximecouture]

@@manuelkunzl686 Oui bien sur! J'ai acheté la marque Bondo sur amazon. Je viens de mettre le lien dans la description du vidéo. J'ai bien aimé ce produit. Une fois sec, il est assez résistant pour être percé et fileté un peu comme du ''métal''. Bon projet!

[@weiz243]

mantap bro 👍

[@maximecouture]

Thanks! 👍

[@tinkertom6196]

Good looking Bike there... nice one. But I think this kind of bike is not for me. Might hurt my back a lot. I'll just have to settle my self with scrambler and brats.....

[@maximecouture]

Thank you so much! Yes I understand, it is really rough on the back! I can't go really far without a break. At least I kept the stock air suspension and it pretty smooth. My next one will probably be a scrambler or a brats too.

[@yudixangelsnairwaves1064]

Nice cafe racer...

[@maximecouture]

Thanks a lot!!

[@moppelruel]

Den Heckrahmen einfach auf Stoß angeschweißt? Das wäre mir zu instabil. Aber sonst super

[@maximecouture]

Hi, Ich hefte den Rahmen, um sicherzustellen, dass er richtig passt. Dann entferne ich die Heftzwecke und stecke eine Metallhülse in das Chassisrohr. Ich musste das Video kürzen, weil es wirklich lang wurde... Danke! Ich schätze wirklich! Ich hoffe, dass Google gute Arbeit geleistet hat, um das Englische ins Deutsche zu übersetzen! 😁 Hi, I tack weld the frame to make sure it was fitting properly. Than I remove the tack and I inserted a metal sleeve inside the chassis tube. I had to cut the video because it was getting really long... Thanks you! I really appreciate!😁

[@moppelruel]

@@maximecouture yeah,it did. Thanks for the comment. Your bike is awesome. Well done😎🤘

[@maximecouture]

Haha thank you so much!! Really appreciate! 😎

[@maximecouture]

Yeah I know it's ugly haha I need to find something else for my plate.

Que pecado. Destrozar esa moto así es una vergüenza.
