Cafe Chronicles
Cafe Chronicles is a video series documenting the journey from having zero knowledge or history in building or restoring vintage motorcycles. In the video series, we buy an old barn find CB750 and take it apart. We rebuild the engine, make modifications to the frame including installing a frame hoop and custom cafe/brat style seat.
The video series is an attempt to show that anyone who wants to try to build their own cafe racer or brat-style vintage motorcycle can do it. All it takes is some patience, some learning, and a lot of hard work.
During the oncoming episodes, we learn to rebuild cafe racers and restore these bikes back to their original glory. We also make sure the engine runs well and ensure the bike is safe to ride!
Building motorcycles, riding, and touring on them is what this channel is all about. I hope you enjoy.
