How to build a cb750 cafe racer cheap and easy

[@motomark9736]

Honda's never die they just need remodeled every few decades to fit current styles

Dude, love’n all that black on the frame, wheels, forks, etc. Then the Cream tank with brown leather on the seat! Great color scheme with a real throwback pre 1940’s feel!!! You should be so proud of this bike. It’s class son, class!!!

[@motoblast3574]

Yes!! I’m glad we are on the same page! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

[@grantbeason2253]

Bruh this thing looks soooooo nice, and everything fits soo perfectly, no weird open spaces anywhere, I love it, greaaaaaaaattttt job man.

[@motoblast3574]

Thank you so much!

[@YJKadventure]

Finally the video I was looking for! Thank you for narrating what you were doing and showing us you can make a beautiful bike for cheap!

[@motoblast3574]

Thank you so much!!

[@thekingofkings777]

I have a CB750 I'm currently working on myself and I love how you showed exactly how to do the rear u-bar/seat it turned out fantastic. I think the bike would be flawless with different gauges that sit a little lower.

[@cafe100mph6]

Lol the no header sound clip haha

[@thanasistournatzis7385]

It came out pretty good indeed,the only thing that hits on my eyes is the muffler...a smaller one should be nicer

[@motoblast3574]

yes, your right on that

kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2LVdmh8nK6IoZI check this video out. He uses pea shooter exhausts, which they have a unique sound. Twin exhaust pipes will improve the sound of the 4-cylinder engines,so as a mechanical engineer i recommend that option👌

That looks fly AF. I love the color. I love those vintage bikes.

Excellently and very neatly customized. I loved this bike.

Nice job man. I build custom bikes for a living. Building this without any experience and out of your garage it turned out great.

thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

I laughed at that sound. You did a great job with the chassis. Love the style.

[@motoblast3574]

Hahah thank you!

[@Bbbuddy]

You're lucky to have the pre-1977 carbs. Much simpler and easier to tune than the PDs.

[@motoblast3574]

ohh really? I didn't know much about that. Thanks for the info!

[@Me-kv8vu]

Looks fantastic. This is the style bike I love. Well done.

[@motoblast3574]

Many thanks!

[@ritwizpandey]

hey there can you plzz tell me where are uh from and is there any other same bike you saw ? kindly respond i am really intrested in buying one for myself

[@motoblast3574]

I'm from New Jersey. I made this bike about 5 years ago

[@blakewixom2893]

I like that you kept the stock carburetor setup, Often times the 2 carburetor setups for these bikes make it run worse and are harder to tune, and when all 4 carbs have pod filters sometimes when going fast the engine bogs from the 2 center cylinders not getting enough air.

[@ryanhill7318]

The bubble machine comment was amazing!!! Great build though man. Really nice!!

[@motoblast3574]

Hahah! Yea it still makes me laugh 😂

[@calebsherling5495]

This turned out really slick for a cheap build. Very impressed

[@devinm2480]

You should really think about becoming more invested on these builds. There’s a huge fan base behind them and you’re pretty good at it. Almost half a million views on just this one video that’s insane!!! Hope to see more like this in the future 🙏🏼

[@motoblast3574]

Thank you for that! I actually have another old cx laying around. I was trying to sell as is, but you are having me now think of just doing another build and video! thanks

[@djslaughter5267]

Do u remember where u got the seat and handle bars?

[@motoblast3574]

I got them on eBay l, but i can’t find the listing anymore

[@rollastoney]

I’ve been looking for a Honda cb750 for a long time now. Can’t seem to find one in my area. Yours came out great!

[@xanax50cal4]

I really love this bike, and will use your video as a model for my 750 project next year hopefully. Maybe you should give some more details about tyre sizes and few more elements of the build. So far my favorit SevenFifty on this channel!

Thank you! stock tires sizes on here. Would like to add larger sidewall tires though.

[@stayingfitandfocused]

I love these bikes so goddamn much. I see a dude on marketplace that did a really half assed chopper build and I think the cafe racers look better

[@bennyblak]

Dude, judging from your plates you’re in jersey. I’m in jersey too. I just did a honda cafe like style. More like brat look. 74 cb750. Rewired the whole thing and did some welding. Yours looks good.

[@bennyblak]

Wish I could send you a pic of it.

Yes I am in jersey! Thats awesome

[@LibrarianTheodorum]

Do you guys know of any place in North Jersey I could bring/store a bike to do a build like this? I'd love to do it on my own(I just lack equipment, space to work, and all knowledge of motorcycles lol)

28k miles is high? here in singapore we regularly clock 10k miles in a year since we ride them as a daily work transport. very sick build

[@noelleonard2498]

A cheap build is probabaly bike plus 650 if you start with a running bike. Got my dad's 71 450k4 twin that i want to get rideable again some day. The parts list is up to about 500+ in parts to get it mechanically right, that's if i don't have to dig into the engine. Would be totally worth it though. Was the first ever bike i ever rode on the back of as a very young child.

I just bought a cb750 to turn into a cafe racer. I’m having issues... I changed out the handle bars to the low profiles ones and now I’m having issues with throttle because the wires are crammed... did you run into this issue??

[@motoblast3574]

I did not, but you can run the wires any way

[@evelynphoenix3026]

Interesting modifications. I like the way that this video shows a simple, practical approach. I gave it a like. I am wondering if it never rains where you are. Don't you need mudguards for the wheels?

[@thedandy6765]

a cafe racer pretty much never has mudguards cus theyre more of nice weather bikes and not alot of people go riding in the rain or when it has rained

[@MRSmaxoz]

@@thedandy6765 german law says naaaa

[@cadenwoodhouse2762]

How did you eliminate the front turn signals? Just rip them out and call it a day? Or do you have to do something with the wiring?

Yes just remove them with a hammer 🔨

Nice build ! I've done a few of these and found a company called "Texavina" they are in Viet Nam and make some really nice quality seats for builds like this and they are model specific. turn around time varies, shipping and customs, but they are high quality. I had one build where I cheaped it and ordered a Cafe seat from Ebay and man, what garbage, hard to sell a build with materials like that, just my two cent.

[@craigmonteforte1478]

The bike does look great I’ve owned a lot of Honda 650 and 750 fours over the years love the motors weight to power ratio and reliability the only negative I know on the bikes is on the late 1970s and early 80s when the laws changed about riding day and night with the headlight on Honda and most other Japanese bikes did not upgrade the charging system to accommodate the drain from that headlight the easiest solution is to put a switch on the headlight to not run it during daytime for me if I got pulled over for it I just played dumb and said I forgot to switch it on it’s hard to tell in the daytime that it’s off because I can see fine

Silly question do you ever ride when its raining? Fenders (mud guards) are a thing for a reason.

[@motoblast3574]

yes. If you are riding in the rain, you're getting wet anyway.

[@owen368]

@@motoblast3574 My point is no mudguard means all the wet muck from the road will be thrown all over you and the bike. Yes I have ridden in the rain I live in England where it rains more often than it does not, it also get pretty cold in the winter round here (live in the Chilerns a high area) but we don't get snow much thank god. Yes have ridden all year round, it gets tough on the bike and rider I find. Mudguards, fairings and proper chain guards blunt some of the down side of wet weather unless of cause you like hunting for mystery electrical issues at the side of the road in the rain.
