How to design a cafe racer motorcycle

A short video here explaining how to design a cafe racer bike for yourself. Introducing you to the lines you need to look for as well as some inspiration on what parts to change to get your own custom look.
Here we start off with a standard Honda CB Four, change the front forks, wheel, handlebars, then replacing the tank, changing the seat to a cafe racer / brat style seat, then replacing the rear wheel and shocks.

It is expensive but if it's a hobby that you'll enjoy it's definitely worth it.

[@stezhina]

Hey, nice video and also want to try :) but have 2 questions here 1) is there exist any archive/db with image parts(details photo) or just search image from inet and get part from that image? 2) what about scale? if we get 2 images from inet they could be make from different distance and in this case fuel tank from cb125 could looks bigger then from cb750

[@forthebold]

No there's no archive, and scale: you have to measure yourself

I really would like a nice oldtimer looking bike with the usual café racer style, the color scheme with the brown and the wrapped exhaust and nice brown handelbars that kind of old bikes don't come with big motors mostly I think but I wouldn't need that I don't even know if the bike in my dream classifies as a café racer but I don't even know what else it would be....

+dreegez Thanks

[@lukesworld2864]

Funny, my build is the example motorcycle, down to the color! I realize they don't all have external oil tanks, but the one you used for example almost certainly does, in which case you'd still need some kind of tank in the 'triangle' or wherever you might put it. I've seen slimmer ones that stand up and lean back or a pill style round one. Mine is a 75 and I think the following generation (80 maybe?) they went to having all the oil in the crank case. You have a nice bike, too bad we can't share pictures here.

[@forthebold]

Yeah I've used creative license on that one, but Cognito Motors make a really thin nice one that mounts next to the frame to allow for your void to work cognitomoto.com/products/bolt-on-cb750-oil-can

[@lukesworld2864]

dreegez I've actually looked at that one. I keep considering it but the capacity is less than original so I keep weighing that out, visually a plus, but less volume means more frequent oil changes as the oil spends more time in the engine, and I believe that would contribute to higher oil temperatures as well. It's certainly possible I could be wrong though. And on Cognito Moto, I really like that air filter they have that goes across the four carbs, it's more unique than the 4 pod setup. Much more expensive though! Lol

[@forthebold]

Luke's World Definitely, I don't think Cognito can put a foot wrong, everything they do is spot on.

[@lukesworld2864]

So far most of my parts have come from Dime City Cycles. I also like a few of the bits that Joker Machine makes.

[@forthebold]

Luke's World I do like Dime City, I regret not going there when I was in Florida last. Would have been an experience

[@shanudas911]

That was a very very helpful tutorial, now i am confident i cant make one. Thank you so much bruh😂

[@forthebold]

Thanks for watching, anything is possible.

[@stavroshouiris]

In my opinion I think the seat in the after photo is just a little too long, and the same goes for the exhaust. One of the key things I look for is whether back wheel is completely covered up or not, in my opinion it should be exposed as much as possible. Also I think the mudguard should be removed the for a more exposed look. As well as tidy up the cables. Lastly It'd repaint the engine a matt black with some areas masked off like the exposed out parts of the fins to give it some variation while not giving it too much attention. It'd also add a heat wrap on the exhaust. As far as the tank goes, I think a matt dark green would go well to give it a more military look, and in general it'd try staying away from too much glossy colors or chrome.

[@forthebold]

Thanks for the suggestions.

[@greensamurai5805]

Can you make a video about custom chopper motorcycles? I am 16 years old and am trying to build a custom motorcycle using a Honda CM 200 Twin as a base ,what kind of style can I give to this bike ?? Keep up with the good videos I really enjoy them ! :D

[@forthebold]

I've often looked at choppers but they're probably the hardest to build and get right. It's the fixed rear swing arm (or where it used to be) needs some skill to weld and get right.

[@user-wt3il9ws6t]

Great video, perfect job! The best channel for cafe racers build. Thank you.

[@forthebold]

Thank you. Amazing to hear you like the channel.

[@jonathanregalado6424]

Iv got a 71 cb350 and I love the idea of swapping out the whole front end. Where/how would I find a front end to swap it with?

[@forthebold]

To be honest you can make most fronts fit. For an easy life, you can start with checking what triple clamp forks will swap to yours, then work from there. Alternatively you could measure your fork diameter and see what others share that size if you don't want to swap the yolk. Baring in mind chances are you'll have to change the front wheel and brake callipers also. I do like the CL350 forks, might be worth looking into those? Good luck

[@marvinlouietongol6800]

This video is so great. Is it necessary to convert from fuel injection to carburator type to clear up the triangle? Thanks

[@forthebold]

Depends if your bike has fuel injection or carbs. You can retune fuel injectors to run pods. Alternatively you can replace with carbs

[@devonb.2302]

The only thing holding me back from making my ninja 250 into something cool is the front fork, how would I go about finding a donor fork that will fit?

Could always stick with the original forks? All BAlls Racing has a fork conversion list to use. very handy

Hey dude - the tan hump seat you apply appears to be really well integrated with a kick-up rear hoop. Can you let me know where these parts were snagged from please?

[@forthebold]

I found a really good bloke off ebay that supplies brat style hoops with that kick. If you search for your bike it might come up. Also for the seat to follow that kick up you'll need to do some cutting.

[@bif1974]

[@forthebold]

Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it. It’s an old one by now.

[@alessiodavi]

I prefer to keep original wheels and forks, this is a very nice example of streetfigher, cafe racer is a different one. My opinion, if you like old cycles, you must ride with old tech, is philosophy. Anyway if possible better to swap forks and brakes to a fresh one, but in this case it looks like too much modern. My opinion anyway, great job.

[@forthebold]

Good philosophy to keep, I agree with that in many ways.

[@ferrari430sc100]

how do you change an entire front end... that would mean now forks and shocks, new triple tree, new lights and brackets, bars, etc etc... is there a simpler way?

[@forthebold]

No not really I'm afraid, the look aof the cafe racer needs all parts such as bars, lights etc changing. But if you're changing the forks then a triple tree or yolk is a much needed part, unless you're lucky enough to find replacement forks that slip right in.

[@TiBoT80]

[@shafickrahman88]

And subscribed hope to see more quality videos 🤘

[@forthebold]

You could leave the air filer box in place where the V in the frame is. Some cafe racers have them there. If your bike has the frame like that it'll need a lot of thinking if you were going to get rid of it as it's a substantial part of the support, or you could start with a bike like a Yamaha Virago which doesn't have that V

[@benvoiles3505]

One problem is that the CB 750 is a dry sump bike and "air cleaner" you removed was actually the oil tank.

[@forthebold]

Only the SOHC, the DOHC doesn't, but the SOHC has a Cognito Moto conversion that hides it in the frame

If I just bought a 1980 Honda 200 Twinstar and I want a set of front and rear forks like whats on this video but want to keep the wheels and tires I have. I really like how the wheels and break system looks. What would you recommend? Love the gold look and love the style of the rear shocks in vid and on your bike.

[@forthebold]

Try looking at newer bikes that may be being dismantled, that'll give you the gold forks, but you'll need to change the yolk also to fit, the wheels will be easy to swap, but the brakes might be a bit harder.

[@chrisg1610]

Hey mate, me again :p just wanted to ask if you think it's possible for someone with no motor or build experience to build their own cafe racer? Had some naysayers telling me it will be impossible and I'm going to end up spending a fortune. Love working with my hands though and would love to give it a go assuming it's a realistic goal. If you think it is possible, I assume besides a standard tool kit, grinder, drill and welder should be sufficient for the bulk of the work?

[@forthebold]

If you have a £20 grinder, a socket set and a hammer, I say go for it. The best way to learn is by doing, and when you start, if you get stuck, give anyone a shout on the internet, myself included, we might not know the answer straight away but collectively there'll always be a solution. As for the welding, you can get someone else to weld if need be.

[@angeltenorio8028]

What happens when you remove your air filter? I read that it's bad for your bike but is it wrong?

I've seen bikes where the muffler is parallel to the angle to the frame which also looks nice, I'm in between the angled or straight option for my pipes, I'm swaying towards angled.

Thanks for the awesome video. Could you tell me what tank that is from the final selection? (Brushed steel tank)

Sorry, I've had so many people asking for that one. I'll try and identify it.
