Kott Motorcycles 1974 Honda CB750 Cafe Racer

Dustin Kott of Kott Motorcycles near Los Angeles, California shows us his latest build, a custom cafe racer based on a 1974 Honda CB750.

I like the way you show the bike. The vid presents very well. And the way mount your electrical component is a great solution. Well done. On everything.

[@asdfghjkl0226]

I am staring with envy at this bike. My father used to have new CB750 when he was university student.

[@DanielDelCore]

Fantastic bike! So many great decisions have gone into it! That's one very lucky client.

[@MrSlowestD16]

Very nice build indeed. Retrofitting that triumph hub in there is pretty awesome.

[@themotochannel]

MrSlowestD16 We couldn't agree more. Ironic that a hub which such a bad reputation for stopping power (it was nick named the "comical hub") was actually very beautiful. Dustin did a great job incorporating it into the bike's design.

[@Zer0_Cool69]

I like the two seats thing that’s kinda cool to be able to switch between solo and a two seater

[@KFLY67]

m really diging the seat idea take off and on and the oil box

[@341_motorsports5]

love the look of that bike nice work

[@gl3012]

That thing looks amazing...

[@tom4342]

Amazing work!

[@79sketches]

Amazing build!

[@garyw9439]

Beautiful, beautiful bike but I'm sorry I would want twin discs at the front.

[@geekinginandout]

nice build

[@harryflashman3141]

Personally a rubbish old British front break is loading the dice to proceed directly to grave yard. rest of bike though is so beautiful. nice job

[@IchibanMoto]

hey Dustin! see you at the handbuilt show?

[@themotochannel]

Ichiban Moto Yeah he's going to be there as an invited builder. He may bring a custom Triumph Thruxton that he built for a pretty well known actor. He usually only builds bikes based on 1970's Japanese so it's a bit of a departure. Have fun in Austin, we can't make it so we're definitely jealous!

[@taxijackmusic]

Looks like you are going to run out of wheel gap before you run out of suspension travel resulting in rear wheel lockup. I'd suggest extending the shock eye to eye to gain more clearance. great craftsmanship

amazing color

[@tjj6583]

Nice build. What is the paint color of this Honda? Thank you

[@rjsintel1]

love everything but the tank under the seat.

[@thelifeofkrvzy5444]

Where can I find that wire harness for my cb?

[@chrisluthi4804]

what battery is he running? this thing is wicked

[@jakefin6891]

great video, love the details on this bike especially the seat and the clean wiring. About the wiring, doesn't the rectifier and regulator have to be exposed so they could cool down with the wind?

[@themotochannel]

Pablo Cortes Great question. Obviously Dustin doesn't think so or he wouldn't have put them under the gas tank. But usually on stock bikes they are located where cooling air can move over them, and they even have cooling fins don't they? Maybe other viewers can comment based on experience.

[@PaulAnthonyDuttonUk]

Fantastic bike... It has really captured my imagination. Would love to have it. Only 2 things I don't like. #1 Hate the Kott logo being riveted to the tank(That logo needs a make over also) #2 Think I would design a slightly diff tank under the seat. Other than that love it. Love the nakedness of the top of the forks, the front wheel, the under tank packaging. The rear plate/chain guard. It is so cool. I might be tempted to play with the rear shocks a little but they would probably end up as is now. fantastic work. 5 ichiban stickers. Ok 6.

[@LuisMoreno-yy6yl]

Impecable...buen trabajo...

[@lecrocq]

Hi, does anybody know where to find the wiring component that Dustin used on that bike under the tank? That's very clean... Motogadget equivalent is quite expensive... Thanks, -- Guillaume

[@youngmodern9206]

Guillaume Lecrocq same question here!

[@MrAnaheimification]

Does anyone know if the reg/rectifier gets too hot under the tank like that?

[@eugenekim87]

Am I crazy or are there no passenger footpegs? This is always my reservation for not running re-positioned rearsets, I don't want to lose the capability to have a passenger.

[@xmo552]

That thing is blue? 🔵?

[@coupely]

What are the rear shocks from?

[@TheBarberOfGentlemen]

where can i find a cafe seat for my suzuki 750 GT 1975

[@the69jewish69tortis]

This bike has no fork stabalizaiton is that because the triple tree is so low?

[@themotochannel]

Craig Parrish Not sure what you mean by low triple tree but Dustin possibly didn't include a fork brace for reasons of style rather than for reasons of functionality (i.e. it looks better without a fork brace). Of course we are just speculating.

[@halfnelson6115]

I thought the triple tree looked high, not low. The clip-ons are mounted low. Maybe that's what I'm seeing.

[@ezekielm2010]

How much does one of these restorations cost?

[@omardmg]

Can I please get some specs on this headlight?

[@justinalvarado87]

How much are one of these bikes??

[@Tbok777cygnus]

[@oogees]

What battery are using Dustin on this bike?

[@darrenbassford189]

Shorai batteries

[@bxl1121]

I wonder how much it costs to have Kott build this bike for you.

[@lawrencequan6857]

Hi Dustin, what cafe racers do you have for sale?

[@darrenbassford189]

You can reach Dustin Kott of Kott Motorcycles at [phone] He has a couple bikes in the shop right now that are amazing as always but I'm not sure if they are spoken for already... Give him a call and see! Very easy to talk to and would be more than happy to answer any questions!

[@abXbawz]

where is the rear passenger's foot pegs?

[@themotochannel]

+Abdel Bawazer Kott removed the stock passenger pegs. It's designed for solo riding only. This design seems typical of cafe racers.

[@ndgoliberty]

ouch that would hurt

[@robaljames]

Siiick...

[@rafaelrmenegasso]

[@themotochannel]

チャンネルエリンギ Thanks for watching the video, please share it if you liked it.

[@FitFast8]

What an ugly tank under the seat! I dont get why it is there though-is the petrol tank not usable?

[@Superfly-cg9oz]

Haha. Oil tank!

[@watcher13th]

You guys are ruining great vintage bikes... Why don't you just restore them? You take original pieces out, install Chinese crap and hope it'll run ok. Then you make it really impractical and uncomfortable, all for looks? This bikes are irreplaceable, they aren't being made any more. Think about it.
