  • I bought a 08 Ninja 250 in TERRIBLE condition, wrecked, not running, and no title so I purchased the bike for $200 dollars and turned it into a spectacular cafe racer for under $800!! I had 500GB worth of footage so apologize for the length but its worth watching this wrecked bike rebuild!

    Nice work you have done. But if you would take the frontshield of and put the frontlight a little deeper, it would look more „cafe“ like. Ingress the construction from the frontshield does not last very long because the vibrations. Nice work anyway and the next one gets even better. Greetings from Germany 🤙🏻

  • @richardwaldron222
    @richardwaldron222 3 года назад

    I'm doing the same thing to my 07 650r. If you refab the head light assembly to sit lvl or under the fuel tank it will pull it together. It doesn't look right with the dash and lights up that high. I deleted the dash on mine and put in some leds. Also the cowling doesn't look right up that high. Drop your clip ons lvl with the bottom of the tank. No cafe racer is in the upright position. Honestly with how high up the front forks or it looks more like a wanna be bolt trying to be a chopped out dyna. Also gotta hide all the wiring and lines.
    Coming along nice, long way to go. Can't wait to see it finished.

  • @gizmo.gremlin.garage
    @gizmo.gremlin.garage Год назад

    Great job on the build. Looks really nice. Was wondering if you went back and altered the ride height or the front half of the exhaust at all. Was looking at your ride at the end 49:18. If the exhaust came out from the engine another inch, then ran parallel with your frame/coolant overflow it would be slightly cleaner. As for the ride height, if the swing arm allowed a bigger tire or you dropped the front end an inch it could have a more forward lean giving it a more aggressive stance. I'm rebuilding an 06 currently and without swapping the swing arm can't increase mine so cut 1.25" from the forks.

  • @redbeard_raccoon
    @redbeard_raccoon 3 года назад

    Personally cafe-racers aren't my thing, but I agree with others that the headlight assembly needs lowered down a bit. Also, you have turn signals already built into the headlight if I'm not mistaken. I would double-check your wiring, if that's the same headlight as mine you have a wire for the side "rings" to be white for day-time running, and they're switchback to yellow for turning. I could be wrong though, there's a few different Chinese variations of that headlight but it looks identical to mine. How'd you figure out the radiator-cap temperature gauge? Is it an aftermarket part or did you fabricate a gauge into a cap? Also, that exhaust needs some attention. Honestly for budget, I'd say just bend the top of the headers and cut off some of the bottom pipe so it's angle matches the frame more and then grind it down and high-temp black paint.

    • @Benjamminoutdoors
      @Benjamminoutdoors  3 года назад

      Well the way this particular fairing is set up if I move it down further it’s going to push the headlight out really far forward I need to trim the plastic up so it sits perfect, and it does have Amber lights but they are not independent there’s only one power wire that illuminates both sides at the same time so they will not work as turn signals. The temperature gauge radiator cap was off eBay and it’s fairly common among motocross bikes. And I need to clean the exhaust up but I am happy with where it is.
