Honda GL650 Cafe Racer FULL BUILD TIMELAPSE

The Honda GL650 Cafe Racer Full Build Timelapse is finally here! This Honda GL650 is from the same family as the CX500 but differs in frame design, suspension design, and bodywork shape. If you like CX500s you will like this bike! This time-lapse video was fun to make and I hope you enjoy it! Watch as I take a fully dressed highway cruiser and turn it into a stripped down aggressive apocalypse bike with a blend of styles but 100% fun! This thing is an absolute BLAST to ride and has one of the best exhaust notes I have ever heard!

This bike took me over 3 years to complete as I started on it back in 2018 at my old shop and had to put it on hold soon after I began. That pause lasted until 2021 when I was able to get going on it again but this time with more skills and equipment! The first minute of the video is a slideshow as in 2018 I was not recording since that was before I had created the channel.

The ending sequence was photographed by Charles Nardi who has done work for me before. He does full video production and photography professionally so please contact him if you wish to use his expertise.

Hey guys I hope you enjoyed the video! If this is your first time here be sure to check out the full build playlist for more in-depth views into each component on the bike. In case you didn't know I build bikes professionally and have numerous builds going at all times so again cruise the channel for all the videos on those projects as well. Thanks for watching!

How beautiful! when I was a child I helped my uncle who was a mechanic. I was in charge of passing the pintof on the board and then I used the spatula to remove the paint from the board. He reformed just like you from scratch! Yamaha 125 DT 180 and honda CB 450..
I'm so happy for you to make this true work of art!!

Those of us that have been following have always known you to be an extremely talented builder, BJ. This, however, puts you on the map for having the marketing savvy that will guarantee BHB's continued success. Great work, bravo!

Great workmanship, attention to detail, and a complete set of tools really comes a long way. Love the neo-retro styling of this cafe build! Can't wait for the next one

[Timrker]

I've got a GL500 stripped down and ready to build. Thanks for both the inspiration and the sense of inadequacy!

[drecolizo]

The is nothing more zenful than being alone in your garage and building a bike just for yourself. Much respect.

[thecaudells]

Man, I love all the little fabrication details and how this bike turned out. Would be cool see some side-by-side before and after shots.

Also, this is a great video edit!

[nadireitor]

This video is a master piece. The job you've made in this bike is just stunning. Every single detail is perfect. Thanks for putting so much effort and share with us your work, I really enjoy every single minute.

That was about the most impressive build I have seen. What a concept. What incredible skills and vision. Congratulations on completing someone most guys wish they could pull off.

[heberleandro]

IT 👏 LOOKS 👏 INCREDIBLE

Some great fabrication skills and the end result is amazing. Keep up the solid work man!

[flexjay]

Normally i am not a cafe' racer type fan, but your personal taste on this is pretty good in regards to color scheme, stance, and proportions . But mainly i have to respect the effort put into this kind of project, not just in imagination, but mechanical aptitude . Well done dude ! :)

[warcox]

The passion and care you take in your work is a true demonstration of an artist with a unique style.

[simondobbins]

I’m 75% more manly just from watching you do this. Impressive

[scap]

I work in tooling a bit and have taken some intro classes for tig welding so I know a LITTLE of what this work entails and your welds are super nice and clean you've obviously done a lot and man is that end product bike ever cool. You must be very proud when you ride it and you deserve to be!
Really enjoyed your video.

[mfc]

Incredible job!! Fit and finish of everything is amazing!!! The attention to detail kept me engaged throughout the entire video!!! Definitely can't wait for more builds! Keep up the good work!!

[dannywhite]

Its interesting how as soon as you remove the cowlings and bodywork the bike is actually not as large as it seems
