OK medyo ibahin natin konti title ng thread at meron na pala naka register na vintage club d2 sa philippines. :D


Welcome one and all to the Vintage Bike Brotherhood of the philippines!!!:clap::clap:


Pics to be uploaded later of my recent ride to marilaque. Guys upload pa kau pics nyo! Calling sir lawrence! Yung pics ng mga projets nyo pa upload naman!:evil:

cool part 4 na, sige bro post your pics, post ako mamaya ng pics.

Mas okey ito a.

Mga bro na naka-cafe conversion: hindi ba hassle yung riding position sa mga long ride? kasi nag-iisip akong mag-cafe, pero balak ko rin kasi mag long rides, iniisip ko kung di kaya sasakit mga braso at likod sa ganung setup?

Humble P,

Medyo masakit nga sa balikat kase naka racing posture ka kase pag cafe, pero as long as nasanay ka ok na sya, kung long rides hindi advisable yung cafe bike kase nakakapagod kung lagi kang nakayuko, masarap lang talagang gamitin sa curves like in marilaque, sobrang in control ka sa bike. you can do one thing thou, if you're going for a long ride then thats the time you change the handle bar to a western bar rather than having the ace bar attached para up right position ka sa long drive.

Ah. That's a smart tip, sir. Thanks.

Umikot akong Cebu last weekend at andami kong nakitang mga street bike na naka cafe setup. Well, lowered saka racing handlebars, anyway. Nakakatuwa rin e.

thats cool, seeing other people enjoying the same passion of riding vintage cafe bikes, ayos yan humble P, me ka partner na yung 150 ko sa ride.

sali din c95 ko pag nabuo....i need to replace my handle bar. any suggestions on what to change it with? thanks.

Sorry pala Lenin last sunday, di ako nakarating. I texted you that night na hindi ako makarating. Sobra puno lang sched ko talaga that day. Nag turn-over pa ako ng mga club funds sa dati kung group (philippine bravo riders club). Ako kasi President dun, kaya nung nabenta ko na yung Honda Bravo ko, i have to step down as president. Tapos meron pa kaming meeting sa airsoft club ko kasi meron kaming up coming big event. kaya ayun, natali ako. Again, sorry ulit.

Anyway, meron pala akong natignan na xl125 1978 model. junk na sya at tukod na ang makina. The owner is selling it at a cheap price, so i'm planning to get. I consulted my mechanic at sabi nya, tignan nya muna at baka pwedeng kunin sa sinabing presyo.

Ang daming kulang na sa pyesa, tulad ng side covers, headlight, instrument, etc. Practically, engine and frame na lang pwedeng gamitin kapag buhay ulit yung motor. What made me think of getting it is its clean registration and its potential for a cafe racer conversion. Anyway, cafe racers are mostly customize fairings and cowls, right? And the mechanic told me that the power of the xl125 engine is perfect for cafe racer.

So if time allows me, I might get the bike and make it my project bike. That would be sometime after repainting of my '79 cb750. I need your help on this guys as I don't know any shop that makes cowls, fairings and seat for a cafe racer.

BTW, we're on our fourth part! More power to Vintage Biker Brotherhood. :banana:

bro jet z, kung start ka na proj bike mo just let us know para matulungan ka namen.

brothers eto yung isa sa proj namen ngayon

yung nasa last, 1964 Honda Monkey U.S version.

post more pics soon

@Jetzoooms ok lang sir no problem. Pwede pa naman iba weekends eh tsaka di pa din maganda takbo ng cb750 ko nung araw na yun kinalas ko uli carbs nung morning. ngayon bumiyahe kami kahapon sa marilaque 2 scooters kasama ko. Post ko pics later. Parang na corrupt yung pics nung bikes huhuhuu. :{


@Humble sir pics naman ng ride mo excited na me makita! Tama si sir lou pag naka cafe ka medyo masakit talaga sa likod/arms kasi nga race position ka pero isang alternative na inawa ko kesa ace bars ilagay ko sa cb750 ko renthals ang nilagay ko. mas mababa sa standard na bars pero hindi masyado ang angle pababa. Just right for a good cafe look and comfort also. :)

Ganda talagfa ng collection nyo ng monkeys sir lou.. tsaka nasa inyo na din pala triumph ni ka pase galing talaga! Penge isang monkey wakekekeke!:D

Applicable din to sa inyo sir caloy. Ganda ng bike nyo pag natapos. Ride ride ride na! More power to the vinatge bike brotherhood! :) Go go Ton - up Boys manila chapter! :)

Now I'm having second thoughts of buying an old bike or a new one for a cafe racer project. If I'll buy an old one, there will be a lot of headaches and time demands than buying a new bike where I'll be thinking only on the handle bar and the seat. I'm thinking of the new Suzuki Mola GS150 which looks good for a cafe racer conversion.

Will this pass for an authentic cafe racer once the seat and handle bar are changed?
http://www.suzuki.com.ph/photo_mola150.htm

Gusto ko yung instrumentation ng Mola. Pogi na nga siya as is eh.

@ sir lenin: hehe, nakakahiya pa eh. pero malapit na iyan. kinapos lang uli ng funding ang project. :)

eto yng newly aqired bike namen ni brother ko, well its pretty much in good condition the engine runs great but we still got to do the paint and chrome.

isa na lang yung kulang and i hope it will finish by the end of the year. Guys kayo naman, post your projects no matter if its finished or still under resto.

jet Z,

Mola, man that will be a good fame for a cafe bike. if you'll go for it, it will be one hell of a ride.

Yeah, I've been thinking about it for a month now. It would certainly be great to have one since it will be a brand new bike so no more problem with rebuilding the engine and restoration. The only thing that needs to be done is mods for seat and handle bar. The good thing about Mola (as a cafe racer project) is its retro design. Did you notice its semblance with the CB750 SOHCs design? A lot of crome parts.

I've been reading the thread about the Mola and found out a drawback. Owners can only push the bike to a meager 110 kph, given its 150cc engine. Not ideal for an authentic cafe racer (which is power and style). I was expecting that it could reach 150 kph max (or a bit less, but not 110 kph). However, some advised a change of sprockets to meet higher top speed. But of course, that would compromise the acceleration.

Anyway, I'm still thinking about it. One hindrance for me now is too many bikes in my garage. I'm no bike collector, I'm just an enthusiast! Very enthusiastic and passionate about bikes that captures my delight. Whether new models or old ones. So if I can sell some, that might be the time when I'd get a Mola. :)

did noticed it, well for mods the gys here will gladly help on that. 110kph for a 150cc power plant is slightly low but you can do some tweeks on it like chaging sprockets, re honing the bore, ceramic coating for the piston head, SS316 custom valves, cinvertion to a 6 plated clutch, dynamic balance for the crank and for all of that 150kph will jst be peanuts but it will come with a cost that is not justifable. Jst a thought if i'm gonna get it for a project bike i'll jst change the sprockets which is much cheaper, for the engine being new well i dont want to get any headaches on it by moding it up.

Ganda talaga nung bagong triumph nyo sir lou. Makakasabay na kau kay chille nyan sa ride.. malamang ako maiwanan. :O

Tsaka astig yung prima nyo shell talaga ang galing!

Pwede din yung mola ah, but for me mas gusto ko gawing cafe bike is tmx155. Konting convertion lang ok na and sa speed department di din papahuli. Dami pa available na parts. Meron na ako nakikita na cafe na tmx sa taytay eh ganda.

@Humblepee: Ok na yun sir post nyo na ganda project nyang sa inyo eh.

Sir lou ganda nung motor ni jomon oldschool talaga. Laki ng fairings. pwede naman nya kau igawa ng sukat sa inyo dahil kukunin nama nya ang dimensions ng bike nyo eh. :) Eto cp number nya try nyo contact.09194764258

Sir Lenin
Ang tindi na ng dating ng Bike mo talagang pambarako dating . Tanong lang lenin yun bang sa picture na Mech. Lino o Tante

Thanks sir. :D Si tante at lino iisa lang yun. Marami kasi tawag sa kanya eh. :D

Me too. I am known in my former club to be a "purist", meaning, not wanting to "unvirginized" the "stockness" of a motorcycle. I would also agree with you on the "non-practicality" of engine enhancement, especially on new bikes. And yeah, sprockets are the better idea.

Ganda talaga nung bagong triumph nyo sir lou. Makakasabay na kau kay chille nyan sa ride.. malamang ako maiwanan.

Tsaka astig yung prima nyo shell talaga ang galing!

Pwede din yung mola ah, but for me mas gusto ko gawing cafe bike is tmx155. Konting convertion lang ok na and sa speed department di din papahuli. Dami pa available na parts. Meron na ako nakikita na cafe na tmx sa taytay eh ganda.



Yeah, gusto ko rina dati ang tmx na gawing cafe racer. However, there are some drawbacks with it as well....the body frame is relatively small, no ignition switch (electric starter), shifting gears is just like the "underbones"---all downwards.

I was really eyeing on it earlier, until I've noticed the Mola...with bigger fuel tank, electric starter, relatively big body, classic design. ;)

Your ride is one heck of a machine. Really looks nice. :clap:

BTW, I thought it's a CB750k6?

This would be mine.

Project Bike:

1979 Honda CB750k DOHC
Mods: None

tnx bro. gagandahan nga ako dun sa cowl ni jomon, hope to have one someday for my duc.

Hi,

Can't help it, when I saw the picture of the 1979 CB750 of Lenin, this brought back alot of memories when I was a kid riding on my dads 1972 CB750.

We are on the stage of restoring the bike after years of neglect. I do need some inputs from you guys, may I ask if you have any idea on the price range of a set of piston rings?

Hope to meet you guys someday.

mga chiefs, tip naman where to buy/get cafe racer seat locally. di ba merong pinoy na nagpa-fabricate nun, yung benjies cafe racer. do any of you know this guy? saan shop niya?

nangangarap lang magka-cafe racer. :*

thanks

:)

@Fastback and Fonzy Welcome to the group guys! Please feel free to post any inquiries regarding restoration and parst etc etc. :)

@fastback your restoring yourcb750. sir the parts can be bought at caloocan I think. I dont know the price however. But i do beleive it is still available. mine is a 1973 k3 model btw. Ive traced the serial numbers and it matches those on records. :) Goodluck on your restoration sir!:)

@Fonzy cafe setas kayang kaya ng mga latero yan or mga nag fibre castings. kailangan lang nila pictures or pag gagayahan kayang kaya yan. Bukas dalhin ko seat ko dun sa latero ko para magawa na yung cafe seat ko. Cant wait.

Again thanks for posting! Long live vintage bikes!:D

Lenin,

Thanks for the welcome.
I've tried tracing the motor number and the chassis number, I forgot the real model. Will try to check it again.

Will be in touch with you guys.

ok sir no probs! Again gudluk sir on your resto project!:D

uy thanks for the welcome. :clap:

wait ko yung seat mo lenin, hope ok lumabas. baka pa-fiber ko lang yung sa 'kin. gusto ko sana ng clean look, kaya tago ko under the seat ang battery and other electricals.

lata pagagawa ko sa akin parang kay sir lou. Mas matibay eh. :D

I have an orignal single seat off from my '79 Honda CB750K/Police Model. It's in good condition. I think it will fit other CB750 from '69 to '82 models. I have no use of it now since I got a used original two-seater seat from ebay. The single seat will be good for cafe racer cb750. Just tell me if someone wants it. I'll give it for afair price :)

Here's a photograph of it taken when it was still on the bike

And here's my bike with the new two-seater OEM seat

http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x137/jet_zoooooms/cb750/IMG_4275.jpg

This weekend, I'll have my bike repainted. I already have the parts I ordered from ebay that are needed before repainting should start. Here is the pic:

NOS petcock and used side cover emblem
http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x137/jet_zoooooms/cb750/IMG_4882.jpg


I'm contemplating on which color scheme should I pick. These are the two schemes in my mind (both are original color scheme for this model):

Black

Happy restoring :)

sir jet...

been wanting to buy from ebay for the longest time...but i'm always hesitant coz of the risks and shipping cost involved.

how do you go about it?

sir jet...

how do you go about it?

I have a friend and relatives in the States who order for me. I just search for the items and forward the item number to them. They order and I pay them when someone goes to the States. My sister-in-law is an international stewardess, so when she has a flight to the states, she brings the item with her when she returns back.

I, however, been monitoring the transactions in ebay. It's not so difficult to order. If you have problems with the seller, you can ask for a refund and give a negative feedback. One thing you should always be aware of is his feedback. You would not order from low-rated seller in ebay or risk being mugged. I think, you'll be safe using paypal. One biggest problem for us is the shipping and shipping cost. Most seller don't ship outside the U.S. And if so, shipping cost doubles or triples the price. I haven't tried ordering though, for the reason that I don't have a single credit card - - - I don't want to be trapped in a "credit hole."

Ganda talaga ng bike nyo sir. Parang mas bagay yung black eh, classic cafe color kasi. :D Pwede din red pero sa bike nyo i'll go for black. mas pogi. :)

@Bikermerc musta na bike nyo sir. namili daw piyesa si Ka Ray ah. mukhang malapit na mabuo dream nyo! Nice one!:D

NUDE pictures, kita kaluluwa :D

Sir Jet, you're very fortunate to have relatives that can bring back parts from the States...you definitely cut shipping costs...i however don't have anyone to get in touch with in the States...hehehe

I have one credit card but like you said, I don't want to be trapped in that hole either...Hope to see your bike soon...
