When you said you were going to tear it down, I didn't expect you to turn the whole bike into a pile of parts! Mad respect dude.

[@BayCityRestorations]

Appreciate it man!

[@rangerjones5531]

That tail light is so sweet! And it works too, there’s too many customs with tiny lights that you can’t see in our bright Texas sunny days. I’ve been building custom bikes for 34 years and this build blows me away! Great job, top tier skills .😎👍

[@BayCityRestorations]

Really appreciate your feedback! I always try to make sure all turn signals and brake lights are as bright and visible as possible! I never understood putting tiny lights on customs that you can’t even see. I guess they just don’t plan on riding them much.

[@Doomsara]

I know everyone love their bike.. but I can just imagine how great a love towards a bike can be if you built it the way you do. Hat off my friend!

[@BayCityRestorations]

Thank you! Nothing like riding a bike that you build with your own hands! 💪🏻

[@Drew_Reviews]

i had to let out an audible "oh hell yeah" when i saw that seat color, looks amazing

[@BayCityRestorations]

haha some people seem not to like the red but I love it! When I was younger I always loved the BMW's with red interior.

[@studio1501]

It’s been said over and over what a fantastic job you did on this bike and I could not agree more. The other thing I want to compliment you on is the outstanding video work you did putting together the visual segments of the build.

[@BayCityRestorations]

Thank you, I am still very new to filming/editing. Your kind words are what encourages me to keep learning and improving for the next build series!

[@BayCityRestorations]

I really appreciate it man! There are always purist out there that don’t like to see these bikes modified no matter what condition they are in. I’m sure they are majority of the thumbs down.

[@PierredeCur]

Because there are still some old farts like me who have lived the times of real café-racers when nobody ever fit off-road or mixed tyres on a café because it's an aberration... We don't criticize the work but just that they call "café-racers" what are an antithesis of a real café-racer... :-)

[@minidisco72]

Beautiful work, very clean - great choice in colours as well. My only 2 issues with this final format of the bike are with the location and mount type of the licence plate, and with the total lack of fenders which makes this a "fair weather ride" bike only otherwise you're covered in grime and road splash...

I only do this in my spare time so it took close to 6 months. I’m not sure of the total hours.

[@nathanjames4242]

Man, seems like a super straight forward build. Where there any other significant modifications / fabrication that needed to be done besides whats shown in the video?

[@BayCityRestorations]

The Jax garage front end kit makes the front end swap very easy. Other than welding in the seat hoop and electrical modifications everything is pretty straight forward.

[@xtremluck6260]

Once again I’m impressed with your build. This build has a lot of potential yet still. What I mean by this is if you reposition the gas tanks angle you’d see a huge difference in the overall style....for the better. If you want, you can send the bike over to me and I’ll arrange the tank in a more neutral position.

[@BayCityRestorations]

In reality if you want the perfect angle you will need to chop the entire rear frame and start from scratch.
