How I built my own bike from nothing - Timelapse

Timelapse build of a motorcycle I entirely build from nothing but scrap or spare parts. This bike did not exist before!
It is based on a 1973 CB 350 Four and it is made as a Cafe Racer / Brat style motorcycle.
The only part I had was the partial frame (missing many parts), and an engine that was not running. I had to rebuild everything, make some parts from scratch, or fit universal parts on this bike.

I hope you like this salvage project!

The reason it took so long to start when he first started it is the air going into the engine was unrestricted. If you place a foam cushion in front of the intakes, it's enough to improve suction of fuel into the cylinders. Starting Fluid is something all mechanics should have when starting an engine the first time.

What a great project, your work is inspiring for many of us.Keep on going the sky is the limit.

First off..When Tahitian Rider builds it, you know it's done right. You never disappoint. Second...Is it possible to fall in love with a motorcycle? This thing is so insanely cool on so many levels. At 51 y/o I have never owned a bike but if I ever do I hope it it looks and sounds like this one.

Great project, even better bike. Old but gold!

Great build, what a Sound. Honda 3 cylinder sound is real music.

Another fantastic build! I really enjoy watching your work. Let’s people know that you really don’t need the coolest most expensive shop or tools to make great things happen. Always an inspiration to watch you! Thanks! 🙌🏻

Finaly I found a Chanel with a guy, who knows what bike building is about.
That 4 in 1 sounds and looks phantastic and the bike looks like a ton of fun.

[TomAnderson.]

The feeling of success when you finished that bike must have been out of this world.

[MotoMango]

I've had the same idea and think it could be fun. Nice work!!

[cedricletourneur]

Formidable travail, Tom! Tu as donné à cette machine un look et un "esprit" magnifique! Bravo!

[arthurcarvalho]

Man, let me be your apprentice hahahahah
Such inspiring work. Keep it up my dude!

Force est d'avouer que même si le projet est tout simplement magnifique, le son que génère l'échappement est à lui tout seul une symphonie. Le bonjour de France.

It is such a great feeling when the heart of the beast runs for the first time.

Excellent video sir. Watching you start the engine off the bike and celebrating was fun.

This is a fantastic cycle! Love the color, simplicity, and sound. Great inspiration for my '72 CL350 build. Cheers!

These café racer builders always amaze me with how little detail goes into the seat, after spending many hours on the frame, motor and paint, they throw on a seat as an afterthought, and have a bike that looks half done.

When I realised that..


T'es francophone =)
Le premier démarrage moteur est juste tellement satisfaisant

[hyzaaa_]

Incroyable, (comme d'habitude :p ), ce sourir quand le moteur redémarre pour la première fois en dis long, merci de nous faire partager ça !

[DraganSavic]

I`m not bike fan but this is pure art from nothing. Amazing work! 😁👍

[janerrollbobadilla]

I felt that genuine happiness when you've finally hear the engine roar!
