How does it run with the pod filters??? I have an 85 XJ700 with basically the same carbs, I wanted to get a Dynojet kit and pod filters but was told it'll NEVER run right without the stock air box. I can properly install everything but don't wanna spend $200 only to have the bike run worse than stock.

Took me 3 years to rebuild my xj750. I know how hard it is with out support and in South Africa the guys you take your parts to might just seal them. I had more trouble trying to get parts because it was not a new bike and rebuilding the engine was a nightmare because I waited 7 months just for the crank bearings and they were all different sizes. They guys did not want to help me no big money in it for them. I got her together in the end and seeing her run again was one of the most rewarding things of my life. Love is an engine.

I took a 90's honda 250 nighthawk and gave it the cafe racer treatment...seat/lights/gauges/wire tuck/paint/mufflers/new rubber and such. Good fun working on a simple bike, it sounded mean and was fun to ride. If you can find a small older/air cooled bike, you can make them look new without fancy tools...just time and love. I didn't go as far with my build as most, but I started with a $300 bike, put $600 in parts and in the end, sold her for $1200 to a very happy new owner. So I got to learn working on a bike, modifying one, riding one, and made a few bucks in the end.

Spot on. So many of the bob job “cafe racers” miss the mark by chopping the rear end and hanging a cantilevered solo pad. Guess they’re not intended for guys giving rides to curious ladies. The XJ was an excellent bike and this interpretation really does it justice. So good to see the disposal of Yamaha’s swirly wheels. They did over-style a few of their bikes in the ‘80s.

Excellent job. Learned a few tricks. I drove a XJ650 in the 90s. My first fast 4 cylinder bike. Gave it up, because the motor ran like turbine and still had a vibration that made my hands numb. I needed a thumper and shaker. Next and 20 years later were the Kawasaki W 800, a parallel twin, which I really enjoyed. I had to leave it in Europe when I relocated into the US where I bought a Triumph Thruxton, which I am driving for 10 years now.

I can't say that I have ever been able to go to this level but years ago I did nearly the same with a Suzuki GS500. I added GSXR 750 front forks, dual 320mm discs, custom machined triple adapter, an R6 rear mono shock, and grafter a Ducati Monster rear subframe to it. I absolutely loved the project and it was a long time in the making. And then I sold it. :( That is where this makes me super sad but also happy I can type what I did above. I learned so much about my skills making that bike into a one of a kind and I will always have that. Just as you have this amazing video; it will always be here. Now, just don't sell this bike! lol Amazing build and thanks for sharing.

I remember this bike well. My brother bought a new 650 Seca in 82 and then they were doing the square headlight conversion for free if you wanted it, which my brother did. I got a chance to ride it quite a bit. He'd put a pipe on it and flipped the handlebars over which made you sit more like a modern sport bike. It rode well but I always liked bigger engines so when I learned to ride on a Honda 450 Nighthawk I jumped to a V65 Magna. Still love these old bikes much more than the new stuff and I kept over the years a 79 CBX and an 83 1100F Super Sport.

Awesome work, that's a really nice build. Me and my dad are fan of old cars and old motorcyles, my dad is more into motorcyles than I am though, I'm more into cars. But it's a passion we both share. I really like the beginning of the video when you explained the question "why do we buy those old rusty pieces of junk ?", since very young I always loved doing DIY and old vehicles (both quite go hand in hand in my opinion). On my 18th birthday, my dad offered me an old and dirty Peugeot BB moped, I couldn't dream of a better gift, my very first restoration project. Everytime I go to my dad's place, I spend my time by working on it. It's mostly a lot of cleaning, but it's still nice to do. I'm quite limited in terms of tools and space to work, so I do what I can with I got, and it still works fine. It's far from done but it's progessing. Watching these kinds of video is really inspiring, it shows the methods of different people, some even explain so we can learn from it. That's also what I like about mechanics on old vehicles: sharing knowledge between enthustiasts. Sorry for that big comment, I tend to have troubles to stop rambling too much when I'm really passionate about something. 😅
