    Back to the CB750 Cafe Racer build and we're breaking up the wiring videos into bite sized chunks now, and in part 1 of the re-wiring we're replacing the ignition coils, as well as scoping out where all the electrics and wires will go and relocating the fuse box.

      Definitely. But doing it in bite sized bits like this makes it a lot easier.

    My sohc cb750 was a total wire mess. The previous owner did all kinds of extra grounds splices and fried fuses r/r. Had to pull the entire harness, striped down and tested with a meter. Had to soder in so many new wires. Took me weeks i was studing the wire diagram in high school. I think the broken r/r fried the ground wires to the point that the bike would not run. So the previous owner end up choping and splicing the harness up to bits.
    Still my bike was a steal for $100usd

      You can swap out your entire pulse system with a Dynatek electronic ignition system eliminating the need for a cdi. Goes straight to the coils then.

    I'm seeing some resemblance to Raccia's cb 750 owned by Ryan Reynolds. Are you also planing on making a headlight shroud? Either way I love the brushed metal look on a robust bike like the CB.
    Also hopefully tomorrow I'm getting an Aprilia Pegaso 650 for my scrambler project, so hope that goes well.

    I purchase a monosock upgrade kit for my Honda CX500. I’m having a problem choosing the right cafe racer seat to accommodate the upgrade. Any suggestions? Thanks

    • @forthebold
      @forthebold  5 лет назад +1

      Entirely up to you style, but be careful with those monoshock conversions as when the Eurosport went monoshock they upgraded the swing arm to square tubing to compensate on the force, there have been some cases where the tubular swing arm bends upon extreme force and the shaft ends up scraping. Sasha Lackik's CX monoshock did have a reinforced swing arm but I don't know what mods he did.

    I had a random question for you on welding? I've been subscribed since your first Suzuki 550 videos and I believe I even talked to you about my own project bike. Well after a good year or so of getting the space/tools and design ready with another tank that I bought. I need one last thing tool wise for this which is when I cut the back end where the tail assembly use to be and add a seat loop I will need to weld. It's better for me to learn how to weld, then to take it to a place that might not give me what I want. I would rather practice on some metal pieces in getting good with welding.
    My question is I've heard TIG is the way to go for anything related to frames for cars, motorcycles etc. And was wondering what you used for your welding needs when you do the custom seats, and pans. For your suzuki I couldn't tell if you were tack welding with a MIG? What do you suggest as I have so little if no expierence with welding, or doing custom bikes, as you have way more garage/tool experience.
    I was looking at MIG welder kits, and they seem to be more price friendly than a TIG. Getting a good TIG that's not 20 years old and $2000 AMerican is hard.
    Any suggestions?
    Can't wait to see the 750 at the show, keep the vids coming.
    Cheers.

    • @forthebold
      @forthebold  5 лет назад

      Hey. My welding skill isn’t the best but as much knowledge I have is that TIG is better ( I regret not getting a tig myself). But I use MIG. For any non structural I weld myself but anything that will be tested with force I always get someone else to do it. I have a good bloke who builds his own frames to do my CX frame

      So in your older video for the Suzuki 550 when your were cutting the back for the seat loop, you didn't weld it? Your friend did with a TIG welder is that right?
      Or did you do light welds with your MIG and have him finish the permanent welds?
