It’s a great build. I have an 81 cb650 I’m currently making into a cafe racer and I’ve never seen one that looks like what you did. Very cool. Love the look.
Beautiful. Have 2 82 cb650s in my garage right now. My son and I are starting our projects this spring. See who make a better bike. Neither running now. Carbs in the basement for rebuild and some wiring problems on both, hopefully I can work that out. But thanks for the inspiration.
i really like loud sound of heavy bikes , but one thing in my heart always stop me using heavy sound silencers is that there might be people , ill or old people sleeping or taking rest in their homes . they might be disturbed by the loud sound . that's why i avoid running such loud bikes .
I agree. Usually, around here, it's Harleys and Ford Mustangs. Sometimes you can't even have a conversation outside until they pass. I have a few bikes that are personally mine that are race bikes and are inherently loud, but I only take them out a couple of times a year. Thank you for your comment.
@@darkstar9448 You win!! I give up. I'd rather tell you. I'm not the kind of guy that likes to run the risk of being smarmy. It's a 79/80 Yamaha MX100. The DT100s were the same, just different graphics.
Thank you for taking the time to post your message. That's the early 80s. Look for the one with the single backbone frame. This model also had the screw adjustments for the valve clearances. Very easy bike to maintain, and the single backbone frame gives you a really wide variety of gas tanks to consider.
Had to rewire the whole bike. Used a lot of space where the center stand used to be. Mounted the battery, solenoid, and R/R. If I remember, this particular bike, I think it had the two CDI units and I mounted those under the seat. Thanks for the comment.
I love this bike, you did a great work that inspired me to do something like this for my Honda CB 900. Can you tell me something about the gas tank? Where it comes from? Or It's hand made? Thanks a lot 👍🏼
Thank you for the comment. That is an early Yamaha dirt bike gas tank. You can search 79/80 Yamaha MX100 DT100. As far as fitment, that's probably one of the few Honda frames that will fit with this type of gas tank. The CB650 had a single backbone. Most frames after that had the double with supporting cross members. I have a few CB900s under tarps. I'd have to go look, but I'm betting they're the double type which, if so, would probably be a better candidate for a Honda Super Magna 87/88 which, to me, are very stylistic tanks. Hope this helps. Again, thank you for the comment.
@@jdc2597 Yes the frame of my bike is not a single backbone and I have to do some modifications on it. Really like the colors of yours. It a really original job. Thanks a lot for the information.
Nice job. Orange somehow has become my fav color. I have a custom 72 750four. Rust & black. Mine is lowered in stead of lifted. Dont kno much about The 650. It looks like it's lighter & a little quicker than mine. Where are you all located?
Thank you for the email. We're located in El Paso, Texas. Don't know if it would be quicker. Size matters. If yours is in a good state of tune, I would think it would easily outperform the 650. Again, thank you for the message.
Thank you for the inquiry. I don't do that anymore. I'm just doing one bike at a time and posting them on Evil Bay. Thanks again. Also, I will be posting a CB900 today on Evil Bay. If you get a chance, check it out. We usually list them in the Cafe and Custom Built section.
@@darkstar9448 I believe your engine is the one with the plain bearings. On a conservative view, I would just use the recommended conventional grade oil. I personally, because I am selling the bikes, I use High Mileage Automotive 10W-40, which has extra phosphorus and zinc additives. And for all the tail pipe sniffers out there that will cringe at the thought of automotive oil, it is what it is. But, back to your question. Synthetic oils do tend to clean the inside of motors, so you may run the risk of having a leaking seal or two. I understand you want to enjoy pride of ownership and take good care of your motorcycle, and if that were the goal for myself, I would be happy with a Castrol GTX motorcycle oil. Your bike will probably be pampered and you will be doing the right thing without any excess.
Who wants a fucking Harley if they have a sick bike like this
Man that is a super nice bike. Great build and great vision and creativity to build a bike like that.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.

I love the 4 single pipes, I'm busy with the same bike and was undecided about exhaust but I'm definitely going to put 4 pipes on her now
Shout out jim from eBay. Hope you’re healthy man!
Thank you for taking the time to message us.
Sounds like a healty old bike..

those old Honda CR125 tanks are gorgeous. cant hold much gas tho
You almost got the cigar!! It does look a little bit like an Elsinore tank.
actually it is a yz tank
@@discmotoslots You need to keep trying. This is fun. I'm awaiting your next guess with keen anticipation.

Oll man good
Clean sharp looking bike, great build! What year is that cb650?

Clean build , the proportions are all off. Seat too small , gas tank too small , tires too big. Sounds amazing though!
awesome bike, building a 79 myself right now, was just wondering what you did for wiring?
Had to rewire the whole bike. Used a lot of space where the center stand used to be. Mounted the battery, solenoid, and R/R. If I remember, this particular bike, I think it had the two CDI units and I mounted those under the seat. Thanks for the comment.
I' starting aCB650 bobber build. I want to lower the front end. What did you do for the top triple clamp?
I fabricated some T bars because on this model you need long extensions to run down the clamps. You can also adjust the height when done.
I love this bike, you did a great work that inspired me to do something like this for my Honda CB 900.
Can you tell me something about the gas tank?
Where it comes from? Or It's hand made?
Thanks a lot 👍🏼

Love this bike, what tires did you put on? Cheers
If I remember, those were Cokers. You can get on their website. They have a lot of different types.
Nice build, where's the battery?
Thank you, I rewired the alt. with a coil from a cm400.
@@jeanninesosa8115 Is it a magneto coil? Is there a battery?
Cool. What kind of tank is that?
Dope ass bike, not like all the other. Copy cat shit running around
Where did you get your tires?
How do I find you to build me a bike? Thanks John

What oil do you use
10W/40 with extra zinc.
@@coolmonkeymc8268 I'm not sure, so I'm asking what you opinion on synthetic oil for this machine
