DIY Honda CB750 ★ Cafe Racer Finishing of the Foam Seat Shaping & A Ride to the Beach Ep 11
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 дек 2024
- In this episode I fix the gap between the seat and the tank of my Honda Cafe Racer CB750
There is a couple of ways I could go about doing this but the one I went with was adding foam and shaping it to get a nice flowing line.
I love working with foam, it's so fun to shape.

YES! AGAIN! FINALLY I've found a dude who doenst buy an eBay seat and say "it'll do the job", going back and ensuring you are doing the best job possible is what sets you apart from the rest ! Good job !
I'm now to the foam shaping and have been going back to these videos for guidance. Appreciate you dan!
Thanks brother, I’m glad you’re getting some good tips even from my old videos
I’m at 0:20, lol. That gap at the tank is why I liked the thicker saddle, plus, I just think it would’ve looked better all the way. But hey, that’s just me. Now at 4:30. I like your solution. That’s how I would’ve done it.
Love the intro! Reminds me of TJ Hunt’s old outro
hello sir. you’re my inspiration for my motorcycle cafe racer ✌🏻👌🏻😊
Watched the whole CB Seven Fifty series up till now and really love your approach! Subscribed to your channel, can't wait to see the rest of the build and the CX500's. BTW, the drone shots of where you live are awesome! Greetings from The Netherlands, Keep up the good work!
Eric Weijers wow thank you Eric, the building process and filming is so fun, I'm glad you like it so much
I’m soo hooked on your channel. Love your videos. I wondered what type of foam this is and what did you use on your grinder when shaping it
Wow you've really put effort in this vid! You can see that immediately. And great suprise with that stunning ending! 🖒
Chiefpep Wow, thank you mate, This one was a test to see what response I get on this style of video I'm on holidays in the Caribbean and also Whistler for the next month so I may miss a few weeks video but I will be back in the garage to shoot more videos as soon as I can 👌
Do you Think I should shoot a short video saying hi to everyone from whistler or the cruise ship?
Cafe Racer Garage For sure. And tell them you will be out for a bit but what your plans are for the next vid's. So we can look forward to that. Enjoy!
Chiefpep good idea :) I'm not 100 % sure yet what I'm doing next on the bike so I will think about that one:)
beach look amazing. where is that ?
Nice job, what kind of disk are you using for the foam shaping?
Your are so smart. Could I learn this knowledge from you?
Its nice seeing spaghetti monster coming together
dopel dopel thank you mate, I can't wait to finish it but then again the building part is half the fun 😁
Love the videos, really helps me understand how to tackle my own project. Also great camera work/editing and music choices!
Dmitriy Golovinov Hi my bike building brother, comments like this is exactly why I love to share the process and spend so much time getting good shots and the hours of editing, Thank you so much for taking the time to send me this comment.
What are some of the challenges you face with your build? I may shoot a video about them in the soon future 👍
I bought a $700 1978 CB750 with no wiring loom, no seat, etc. Lots of missing pieces. It's just really helpful to see how you put things together so I can see what I need to get or how to design something. It's great to start from a 40 year old "clean" slate but difficult as it's my first project. Just keep doing what you're doing, the videos are extremely helpful from a design/theory/execution standpoint.
Dmitriy Golovinov Wow $700 for a 78 model is a bargain, 👍 where are you located
One of my subscribers gave me some great advice so I will pass it on to you. 😊 After you buy yourself a loom, google a picture of the wire diagram for a 1978 750 (in colour if you can) get it printed as big as you can so you can follow each wire.
If you have any challenges in your build and think it would make a good video let me know, comment in any of my videos, I reply to all comments 😁
I'm in San Francisco, got pretty lucky with the find, and thankfully have a garage to work on the bike. I think I will be doing the wiring using an MUnit Blue, has some very cool features and seems easier to wire than the stock loom. I'll be sure to ask any questions once I've got more! Thanks man! :)
Dmitriy Golovinov is doing the MUnit on one of my CX500 cafe build after this one 👍. That’s awesome that you have your own space brother 👍
Very nice job !
Very nice! which kind of foam do u use and which grinder disk?!
What kind of gas tank is that and where can I find one? It seems like it fits for my Honda CB400 Cafe Racer project.
Congratulations brother. Your officially my new favorite channel. Keep up the awesome content. 👍
Awesome content. I love it.
Christian Wanek thank you so much 😊
I post a new video once a week but I'm on holidays in the Caribbean and also Whistler for the next month so I may miss a few weeks but I will be back in the garage to shoot more videos as soon as I can 👌
Very nice video bro!
I can't wait to see more from you...
Thank you, my friend, I've got massive plans for this channel so stay tuned, And as long as I keep getting awesome comments like this I will keep sharing my builds :)
he i got a question ins't that seat a lit bit to hard for comfurt or is it okay? it seams a littel bit on the hard side
keep up. love your videos.
Much better to use 3M spray adhesive instead for bonding foam
Sweet dude. There's nothing like doing it with your own two hands. Great...
memsybabe so true, I love this comment:) keep them coming...
Very good job for this cb750 !!
I wanted to know how the saddler fixed the skai on the fiber?
rivets or glue?
Thank you Anthony, I'm assuming you mean the bolt that holds the seat to the frame,
I just used fibre and resin to keep it from ever moving, I drilled a hole on the fibreglass just big enough to screw the bolt in so it was tight and then did the fibre and resin over the top. Thanx again for your kind words and I'm here if you have any more questions. :)
Thank you but in fact I wanted to know how you fixed the coating (leather) of the saddle on the fiber?
This is as close to the Contact Cement that I used in the video amzn.to/2GaSehq
Did this answer your question?
Where have you put the battery??
Would you be willing to discuss the specifics of the pink foam some more? I’m building my seat and I’m curious if there is a name for that foam and what thickness that was? Thanks
I mate, great question 👍 I got the foam from a local Auto upholstery shop, It's very common here in Australia, Its called high-density open cell foam. Hope that helps
Cafe Racer Garage thank you!
Have you decide for the wheels? How about spoke wheels?
Dhiyaulhaq Danish spoke wheels would be cool. Something I may do at a later date. :)
Awesome tutorial sir! I trully enjoy and appreciate your work. What type of cement are you using? Looking forward for the upholstery update...
Elvis Gracia Thank you my bike Building friend, I used contact adhesive ‘Quik grip’ is the brand and it’s good stuff.
nice. how did you secure the seat? Did you add mounts to the side of the frame/seat?
💡Usar madeira do skate💡
Where are you from man? That scenery is absolutely stunning!!
Ashton Sinnott thank you mate, I live on the Gold Coast Australia and that is the beach close to my home :)
New sub. Wicked videos mate! Keep it up.
James thank you 😊
I will be doing one a week forever if I keep getting comments like this 😁
I'm on holidays in the Caribbean and also Whistler for the next month so I may miss a few weeks but I will be back in the garage to shoot more videos as soon as I can 👌
Haha good stuff! Loved the riding part at the end too - most other builders don't seem to ride their bikes! Enjoy the Caribbean and Whistler! Look forward to more.
James thank you again 😊
I'm very grateful for your feedback. Helps me a lot :)
Hi, lovely job !! What density is that foam that you are using ? is it about an inch thick +- ? thanks for the video. gus
Beautiful place where you live.. Australia, it seems to me that you mentioned in a video, no?... and beautiful that cb750..
Luvara7 thank you Luvara, yes I live on the Gold Coast Queensland Australia and that is the beach close to my home .
Thank you for the amazing comment 👍😊
What’s the foam called couldn’t find it in the description
SWEET! HOW WILL YOU GET THE COVER OVER IT?
j smith I assume you are talking about the seat cover? I'm not sure yet. 😁
Great video man! What kind of foam are you using? I made my seat and the foam I used is not at all what I wanted but only thing I could find.
Tulsa Moto Club not sure of the exact name of this foam however it's used by all upholstery places in Australia so its super easy to get.
Not sure where you are but I know other countries use different types of foam so just ask a supplier for a high density open cell foam.
Hope that helps :)
Great video,! I've a question, what kind of foam did you use?
I got it from a local Auto upholstery shop, It's very common here in Australia, Its called high-density open cell foam. Where do you live?
Cafe Racer Garage thanks for answer, I'm from Colombia
What kind of glue are you using?
Jeffrey Macha hi Jeffrey, great question, I will try and find it on Amazon for you but I think it’s an Australian brand that you may not have in your country depending where you live, if I can’t find the exact same one I will find the same glue but in a different brand for you. 👍😁
I will get back to you as soon.
Hi again Jeffrey, I did some quick research and found this is almost exactly the same as the glue I use, its called Contact Cement amzn.to/2GaSehq Any more questions just ask :)
Nice job with the seat! Where did you got the foam?
Fernando Agostinelli thank you mate, it's everywhere in Australia as it's the standard foam used by most upholstery places 😁
Bella motocicleta
Mabc Basora thank you 😊
What kind of foam do you use? And where do you get it?
This is the same density as pink foam in the video, It's just pink here In Australia, amzn.to/2sB8eDZ
Awesome vid! which type of foam, do you use?
Johan Soeberg hi mate, it's just a standard hi density open cell foam used by most upholstery supplies in Australia. It's easy to get here, I'm not sure where you are in the world but ask a supplier for a high density open cell foam and start there.
Any big upholstery place will be able to tell you the best stuff for motorcycle or boat seats, you can sand any foam with a sanding disc on a grinder so its not a problem what one you decide to go with. Hope that helps Johan
I don't understand why guys don't put a groove or canal in the middle of the seat to allow some relief for the genitals.
Especially cafe racer builds.
Is it ride comfort overlooked for the sake of aesthetics?
Ok so the build will be called "the spaghetti monster" from now on ? ;;)
Bintang Sena No Lol 😂
I'm just calling it that until I can come up with a cooler name 😁
Keep up the good work mate thumps up , go see my bike witch i build
In a previous video you were asking about a cx? Maybe this gives you some ideas ruclips.net/video/p25R7LpQces/видео.html
ThatGuyCalled ART thanx mate, the guy that built this bike lives about 15mins away from me lol :)
Watch BMCO and take note, way too much talking on here for me.
Thank you for your comment Doug, feedback is great :) ts hard for me to please everyone as im sure you can understand, I mix it up all the time to try and make it fun to watch, here is a video I did just last week, I didn't say a word in the whole video, Hope you enjoy this one ruclips.net/video/DV4TCMkp91o/видео.html Have a great day brother
