Bobber Build Gets A New Look - CB650 -Episode 7

[@davesleyer9393]

I was wondering what my new obsession would be now that Game of Thrones is over.... Thank you Moto Pilot!

[@Footlessmage]

Dude... your channel deserves so much more attention. This stuff is great, love the build so far.

[@kylefields7844]

TC Bros is in my home town. Cool to see people using them all over the US.

[@ChadwickRider]

Man, smart decisions in this episode... switching to hardtail, smaller tank, rear fender ... this is turning out really nice!

[@JosephBrumberlow]

Gettin better and better. Really like the transformation. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@jonhay75]

I'm learning heaps from these videos..thanks for sharing bro.

[@michaeltroutman5713]

I really liked the other tank. May buy one of those for my next build.

[@thomasgarcia7826]

the other tank is def cool but i think this is more classic

[@rocketlife9549]

OMG...ALL THE BOXES, Santa came early ! Been a while since we seen an Aprilia ride video....I'm jonesin to see and hear it😎

[@cowboy80ez]

WOW I am supper excited to see the next episode!

[@paulovalerioalves4680]

VERY NICE WORK ... I do love Bobbers & Cafe Racers MOTORCYCLE’s

[@mrkthmn]

Its cool to see so much of the work you're doing on the bike. I'd really like to do this one day and this is giving me a bit more confidence that I can do alot of it myself!

[@WolverineX1996]

Going for the hardtail was the right choice that shocks position wasn’t really safe. Liking where this is build is going 👍

[@jamesmurdock3727]

stoked to see the end result! and cant wait to see who wins!

[@joshjoy2535]

Coming together. It's going to look sick.

[@billygross1597]

I noticed your in so-cal , as I'm from there also ; in Fontana I live so close to the race track and the old Kaiser steel mill ; i can literally hear the NASCAR cars going around the track on race day! Too bad we only get 1 -race a year what a waste, but we do have a 1/4 mile drag strip at the racetrack , a few hot rods but mostly Honda's,Toyota's and foreign stuff ; I guess if you throw enough money at something you can make anything go fast ! I got a killer deal on a SPORSTER, 1993-or 94 with 15,000 miles on it, I paid 3,000 for it got 4 seats,2 sets of grips,2 helmets, all of the receipts from first purchase all maintenance records , motor manual , 3 pairs of gloves orange vest , 1 black Harley vest really nice expensive one, and an older heavy as HELL leather jacket with no inside liner , even with no liner it must still weigh 25-30 pounds! I'm thinking I could slide 200 feet and not get any road rash wearing that jacket . Now the bad thing with this bike ! It was never garaged and was rained on &exposed to the summer heat in Beaumont Calif I restored all the rusty chrome that I could , but the aluminium is toast , white oxidized , pitted and looks like shit! I tried working on the cases, and other parts but I'm over 60 and I don't have time for that shit! So I guess my only best option is to paint literally the entire motor black except the push rod tubes and the very top of the rocker boxes! There used to be an automotive detail store in a little mini mall that had some stuff just for that kind of problem , kind of like truck bed liner but no where near as thick, and had to have a reducer a retarder, and a Gardner, and required 3 light coats and final coat medium to slightly thick final coat and a 72 hour curing process. It was touted as gas,grease,oil, heat resistant to 2,000 degrees , guaranteed not to peel, flake,discolor, bubble . When fully cured it lays down flat with a semi gloss finish! So I guess I'm going to have to find another place that sells it! I up graded my gas tank to a 4.5 gal packo gas tank with flush mount gas cap, the little p-nut stock tank was really irritating filling up every other day, I'm breaking into airbrushing and will be all the art on my bike myself I'm thinking of doing some skulls & flames using a new paint called lumilor that can be turned on by means of an electrical current, flame colors will be barley detectable till the switch is flipped by you! Can you imagine true fire backed up by a 12 volt battery current and watching not only your gas tank! Do your fenders,oil tank,battery box ! The guy I've been following on KZbin is Ryan Veness , a really great guy he's in Canada and his KZbin channel is Blood shot Airbrushing or blood shot army airbrushing, he has done 2 bikes so far with this new ground breaking paint so it shouldn't be too hard to see how it looks ! This guy does not sell dvd's he knows how hard it is to find some one to teach airbrushing, very few if any will teach you anything ! Because now once taught you are competition and viewed as taking jobs away from your teacher And if anything gets taught it's just the bare minimums as he won't tell you any tricks to use to make it easy for you, he'll show you some of what you know but not everything he knows! Ryan will answer any and all questions and teach and tell you all the tips &tricks or anything your having a hard time with and he'll generally help you to the best of his ability , so check him out ! Even though he's in Canada he dresses,And talks like the quientensesual California surfer hippey! And he's so laid back and easy going .

[@billygross1597]

It should have said a hardner not Gardner!

[@pinhead_sid]

I liked the first tank you were going to use way, way better.

[@Ninja-es3fi]

Please buy a breaker bar with a ratchet end. Every time you use your torque wrench as a breaker you risk throwing off its accuracy and damaging it.

[@MOTOPILOT6]

This torque wrench is already broken. No not from being used as a breaker. Thx for lookin out

[@BerserkerNick]

I hope you put an external sight tube on the gas tank, it would definitely be bitchin

[@TheDans7300]

Man I wish I lived closer I'd give you a hand. I miss putting a bike together!

[@sijaadkhan4306]

one love brother from Pakistan

[@Mikego55]

Great videos! I was wondering what to do with that 82 nighthawk in my barn

[@augustfrost2763]

Dont want to be that guy but you should never use a torque wrench as a breaker bar. It will destroy the accuracy and it's not designed for it. Love the builds tho

[@mondakforteanresearch4553]

Man, I thought I was seeing things when I saw him use a Torque Wrench as a breaker bar!

[@MOTOPILOT6]

I use that torque wrench because it was cheap and broke years ago. I have a new digital unit. Thx for the concern

[@patrickhatrick6215]

Love your shit bro! Your builds show a lot of style. No disrespect but builds without a sponsor are hard! I understand you earned your sponsor's and no hate bro. I'll be watching lol. PEACE!!!!

[@tiagoous]

Awesome build, i go to patreon u, i want the bike, but im from Argentina so i can't participate sadly... Good luck with the build i can't wait for the next episode!

[@rene-yvescote3954]

For the weight, my suggestion will be to wait at the end of the build and weigh the whole bike and see what is the difference compare to the original weight (curb weight).

[@Carreidas]

So why did you keep the old drum brake on the rear? Why not install a new back wheel rotor and caliper?

[@thomasgarcia7826]

How many gallons is that new tank? It definitely has a nice classic look!

[@OutbackOutlaw]

Awesome awesome did I say awesome?

[@flynagan9611]

Hi MOTO PILOT, maybe you can give me tips on how can I convert my brat motorcycle into a bobber concept? ;)

[@mattkoontz5517]

Diggn it bro, diggn it! Where are the pipes?

how did you align the frame once you added the hard tail?

Buy tools and a donor bike... pre fabbed frame if you've never built a frame before as you'll need a jig

[@justinlyons5159]

Red is obviously the accent color... The bolts were red

[@mattkoontz5517]

Beeeeeeep, try again

[@aroncharlwood1777]

Better off going to the hard tail that shock angle wouldn't be great

[@mrkthmn]

I dont think it would have worked at all. The shock may have been lined up at rest but with the length of that lower arm and the angle of the shock, any pressure put on the shock would have been sideways against it, not directly into like it needed to be. To use that angle with shock he would have shorten that lower arm proportionally to how much he lowered the top mounting point and he couldnt have cause of the tire.

[@aroncharlwood1777]

@@mrkthmn yep spot on

I love your builds. I am about to start my build series. Won’t be as great as yours. Lol. But I’ve got my motovlogs going again. Would love some support if possible. Check out the channel if you can.
