Adapting CognitoMoto Rearsets to my CB750F - Worthy Upgrade or Waste?
Now that my mini-chopper is complete, I'm turning back to the SOHC CB750F cafe racer. In the big pile of parts I bought were a set of rearset foot controls and brackets to fit them on a CB750K. Thing is, I thought they were for a DOHC (79-82) model and figured I'd resell them later. Turns out that they are actually for a SOHC model and should fit my bike! It just requires a little cutting....
The rearset brackets are mean to fit a 69-78 CB750K, whereas I have a 1975 CB750F. There are a number of differences between the two models, the relevant ones today being that the parts of the frame holding the passenger pegs are different - necessitating their removal to fit the rearsets on the CB750...

Honda CT70 Chopper Assembly - the lil' chop that could - Trail70 Dax
Просмотров 884Месяц назад
After my last Honda CT70 test ride video back in May, the 'lil chopper that could' was invited to a motorcycle show in September. Maybe a firm deadline was what I needed to get this thing finished up! Even still, I cut it pretty dang close! Two days before leaving for the show I finally had all the parts and pieces painted, polished and ready to go back together. Here's how it all went down. Th...

Does my Trail70 Micro-Chopper actually ride well??
Просмотров 4576 месяцев назад
I'm gonna hop on this here 1970's Honda Trail 70 that's all done up like a minature chopper and give it the old POV spin around the block I'll tell ya these newer GoPro's with the motion smoothing would make a supercross race POV look like a boring ride to the store. That's why it's difficult to appreciate the sheer terror and thrill of riding this Honda CT70 (aka Dax) micro chopper at a breakn...
BMW Airhead Oil Changes are Hilariously Overcomplicated
Просмотров 3,7 тыс.6 месяцев назад
I've done a good bit of work on BMW airheads, but I wouldn't call myself an expert. I've gone about as far as possible into the airhead engine as there is to go, but I haven't worked on every single variation that is out there.... and there are a lot! People tend to group the whole lot of models (perhaps as many as forty) into one big cuddle puddle we like to call 'airheads', however there were...
CB750F Suspension Upgrade - Slick New Kicks

It's time to do to do the wheel and suspension upgrade on my 1975 Honda CB750F Supersport Cafe Racer project! Featuring Ohlins rear shocks and a Yamaha R6 fork swap along with custom CNC machined triple trees and wheels from Cognito Moto. It has been a busy spring at the day job but I found some time, here and there, to finish up this video. Sorry for the wait :) First off, I had tires put on t...
Is Building Custom Bikes Worth It?? My Next High-Dollar Build - CB750 EP01
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.9 месяцев назад
Have you ever wondered if building custom bikes is truly worth the time and effort? After years of crafting my own, I found myself asking that very question. I'm also I'm an idiot with very little self control. I already have two large ongoing projects, the CT70 Dax Micro-Chopper, and the recently begun custom frame build for that free Suzuki GS750. So why did I go and spend a big chunk of mone...
I cut my motorcycle in half! Suzuki GS750 Custom Build
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.10 месяцев назад
What better use for a free Suzuki GS750 that was pulled out of a literal barn than to cut it in half to build my first custom motorcycle frame? Now, I've done plenty of modifying stock frames, from cafe racer seat hoops to new subframe and rear suspension pickups, but I've never gone as far as what you'll witness today. The only pieces of the factory frame I'll be using are the original neck tu...
I made Integrated Lever Perches from Scratch - Trail70 Chopper

Not much to say here! I finally fabricated the remaining bits needed to test ride my Honda CT70 chopper project. These included mounts for the clutch and brake lever, modifying the handlebars I made to use the factory internal throttle, and a few custom-made cables (since they need to be way longer than the stock pieces!) This vid is a bit more chill than usual. No music, very little verbage, a...

    However much I'd like to see weekly content from you, I like the fact that you only release high quality infrequent content. Keep that up. I'm a big Cognito Moto fanboy who uses hubs and yoke conversions from them on my BMW and old school Triumph. Greetings from Manchester, UK.

      Cheers! Cognito make great stuff, no doubt. My gripes are mostly nitpicks really. Content was definitely easier when I was at the shop full time, but I'm hoping that my pace will quicken now that the winter build season is starting again.

    I just came across you video, as I was searching for a solution to my problem. My R100R has a lithium battery in it and the battery dies randomly during a ride out. After jump starting it multiple time it works again. But then it happens again super randomly. Do you thing this EDL would fix that problem? Or might there be a different issue with my bike? Great video... Thanks for that! Cheers from austria!

      @roodlum Месяц назад

      Thanks! Electrical issues are tough to diagnose, especially on the internet. It's hard to say definitively if this charging system with solve your battery issue. It could! Lithium batteries prefer to be charged at a slightly lower voltage than lead acid batteries, but your issue could stem from a parasitic power drain, an intermittent ground connection, or any other number of issues. I'd check the cheap problems first before spending big money on something like this. Hope that helps!
