You prolly dont care but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Kashton Emiliano i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Kashton Emiliano WTF IT REALLY WORKED! I literally got access to my ig account within roughly 40 mins by using the site. Thanks so much, you saved my account!
Looking good, pleased to see I'm not the only one using the nick-bend-weld-grind method to shape the tubing in the subframe. Good choice keeping it nice and short, too. I like it.
Is such a pleasure to wach your videos. Well made, nice songs and your positive attitude is perfect. Also, good choise for these 2 bikes to turn them in cafe races! Keep up ! Best regards from Bucharest.
Love your video's and the way you explain things! Could you make a welding basics video for mig and tig welding? I just started and its not easy! Cheers, Steven from the Netherlands
Great videos - very inspiring! - I'm in Aus too (NSW) and starting my first cafe racer project. Are there any tips for the rego side of things? Does anything needs certification or can I just take the finished bike for the blue slip process in NSW?
Thank you for doing these videos, it’s exactly what I need to learn. Can you please tell me what welder are you using? I have never used one so would it be easy for beginners? Or which one would you recommend for beginners to get the job done
Thank you so much, It's nice to have the support from the UA-cam community as I grow and learn new skills making my video better and more entertaining and fun to watch :)
At first i was man that's a big seat hoop! Lol. Then final result looks amazing! My scalpel has a lot of miles on her to and still going. Great music choice !
Thank you, Yes the seat was a bit long at first and I just couldn't see it until I stood back, I don't know what I would do without my grinder (scalpel) 👍
Thank you mate, sometimes I have an idea and then as I start working on it I slightly change things to get the outcome I was after, as you saw, I first time I made it too long so I wanted to share that as well as the finished job, glad you like it :)
looking good man, those little seams on top of the frame were bothering me too, hope you do grind them down and weld it. Looking forward to the seat build.
Not to make more work for you Dan, but when you had the tank propped up at the start, I could TOTALLY envision a straight pipe running from the back of the tank to the hoop (and get rid of the seat dip in the middle). It wouldn't undo what you just did for the hoop, just add to it :). I double dog dare you! 😎
haha, I will see what It looks like as it is now but I love the idea Steve :) I would be lying if I said I didn't think about this myself :) Im trying not to cut into that much of the subframe on this build :) next you will want me to turn it into a mono shock LOL 😂

Any idea on how hard it will be to get an engineering certificate for cutting the frame and doing the rear hoop. I’m from down in Vic but assume the process will be similar and just wondering if it will be worth the cost and hassle on a budget bike
I'm a new subscriber to your channel working my way through your videos (love your stuff by the way) awesome. Never owned a road bike and want to build a cafe racer as a first road bike. I have a tip for cleaning any alloy parts including your engine if your interested. You probably already have your own cleaning technique but thought it could hurt to add a different perspective.
Welcome Jay and i hope you are finding my videos helpful, I will never so no to learning new techniques and putting them to good use or at least having a go lol :)
@@CafeRacerGarage See the results of my first video (on my channel) I know its a dirt bike alloy frame lol, but the engines, exhaust pipes and radiators of my last 2 x project bikes and came up just as well :) I need to edit some footage soon and put it up. I use Ali brite Aluminium cleaner stronger mix than the bottle suggest with PPE and a 3M scotch brite hand pad 7447, I think its also available from the states in a wheel version for drills and wheel grinder. Car painters use them for metal prep work. The pad is a metal not nylon. Check out Cameron Niela youtube and his webpage site Pryme MX
@@Jay-mz7dr Ha ha I bought his scotch bright wheel and sanding wheel off his website after seeing that video a few months back, what i didn't realise was the RPM of my bench grinder was way to high so I put it in my draw for hopefully one day getting a linishing machine for this tool, The main thing im happy about is that I'm learning and supporting another channel in the process. thank you so much for the help, you are an awesome guy to take the time leave this comment brother :)
Cafe Racer Garage what a coincide. I found the Ali Brite here in Australia as a local substitute. And I build a lift table out of timber similar to yours a year ago. After seeing it on another website. Same Jack from SCA. For cleaning I just use the hand pad got a box on line they work well. And a horse hair paint brush for the tight spots. It’s a little time consuming but great results
That CB would look sick with some 70/30 knobbys on it but great bike been watching you for awhile now,I'm aboot to build a kick only CB350 bobber headlight/running light only don't need much here in Texas lol
That's awesome that you are about to start your own build, you can share your build on the Cafe Racer Garage page if you want :) yes it would be awesome with Knobbys with the brat seat
I know you said it doesn't have to be Tig, but I just figured I'd ask an expert... Can I use flux core for a similar project? I have a 1980 CB750f and I'm trying to do something similar.
For someone who needs pratice with the Tig ..you got one hell of a steady hand and coordinated feed hand mines all over the place and yeah i know what you mean ..its an amazing welder. ..i just need a heck load more practice meself lol...
Darrell Coy thank you mate, this bike is a $1200 budget challenge build so I’ve needed to fabricate as much as I can to keep the budget low. It’s been a really fun project and I’m glad your enjoying it
Those wheels are starting to become the norm these days. Nice that they are, the old style wheels have more of a cafe feel for me. It's the most visible part. My kz550 wheels look amazing. Just sayin.
You definitely have some slick fab skills! I just ordered a aliexpress hoop, and its bloody stainless. You think I'll get away with burning it in with standard mig wire and argoshield?
Hi mate, great question by the way and thank you for your kind words :) In relation to your hoop, are you 100% sure its stainless? try to stick a magnet to it, if it sticks it may be a low grade stainless like 304 so welding it shouldn't be much of an issue, You can weld stainless to mild but it's not recommended if you can avoid it. If a magnet doesn't stick to it then It will be a 316 grade and therefore a high-grade stainless so I would try and get a mild hoop if you can. Welding 316 Stainless to mild steel can crack if you're not careful. I hope that helps. Any more questions just ask brother ;)
@@CafeRacerGarage Yep its 316 for sure, magnet doesn't stick at all. I'm used to Chinese parts being crap because they are cheaply made (and cheap) but not to them being crap because they are made of expensive material right? I know its not recommended but there cant be much stress on a rear hoop. Its a mate of my daughters GN250 that he's learning on. Not saying I should do it badly because its a GN, but its not the fastest machine out there. What do you think, fit for the purpose?
@@gregnovak0070 You can do it if you want, Just prep the join so it will be strong :) Always do a test weld before the main project if that is posable :) saves you making a mess trying to get the settings right on the main project :)
@@CafeRacerGarage Burnt the stainless hoop in just fine and welds dressed up nicely. Pity I must have measured it wrong and the hoops 30mm to long. Never mind, but it off and do it again.
I find it difficult to understand how those japanese manufacturers got away with those badly made weldings in the 70ies. Looks like bird droppings! Pressed sheetmetal and ugly weldings...easy to make improvements! ;-) In short...YES, you must remove that edgy weld by the seat! Looks awful! And now that I said it...you'll always see it if you don't! :-)
They where supposed to hold the bike together, no one cared how it looked because it was covered with a seat, airbox, side plates and whatever. Since they are still here today maybe they where not that bad, was they?
@@johannilsson1889 They were cheap! Like Taiwan after them, Korea after them and like chinese today. And the fact that they always started, no oilleak and cheap. Good combo in those days. :-)

Ur tig welding is perfect, Australia is watching
That looks totally awesome Dan, a true master fabricator at work, keep up the fantastic work mate 👍👍👍
I'm not sure about the master fabricator part but thank you 😊I do the best with the skills I have and I'm glad you like like it :)

Hello Greetings from Argentina city of Neuquén in Patagonia, I'm a scrambler fan, this work is great. Greetings.
Awesome job its so smooth😍 realy curious how it will end up looking. Hope to see you build a rack for your backpack for when you take it camping.
I sure will :) It's going to be completely custom :)
Thats nice its a great bike right now but it will be way better great job as always💪

Great content, I enjoy seeing the fabrication process.
Hi Dan- Great video, Mate. Love the soundtrack... btw, you have an enviable steady hand with tools! 🏍👍🏍
Thank you so much once again for another incredible comment brother, If you want any help with any tools, just ask :)
Cafe Racer Garage hehe, cheers, buddy! Btw, will be in Oz with wifey end of Feb but sorry to say just Sydney. 😞
@@garya3056 That's ok I understand :) its 9 hours drive and Im not worth sitting in a car that long to come to visit lol 😂
Cafe Racer Garage funny, Mate!
Very detailed video with some really great cinematic shots 👍
vikingbags thanks mate
A nice steady hand with the ankle grinder.
Thank you mate, I like my grinder and not sure what I would do without it :)
looks good. im in south australia and just got a cx500, enjoying ideas and tips, keep it up
samk SA wow that’s cool. You would be surprised how many Aussies are here and leave amazing comments the CX500s ar such cool bikes :)
Hi, nice and tide job , back end is looking good !! thanks. Gus
Thank you for the nice comment Gus
I've been wondering how you were going to do that section since the beginning of the build, great to see you do it. Looks awesome.
Thank you mate, sometimes I have an idea and then as I start working on it I slightly change things to get the outcome I was after, as you saw, I first time I made it too long so I wanted to share that as well as the finished job, glad you like it :)
looking good man, those little seams on top of the frame were bothering me too, hope you do grind them down and weld it. Looking forward to the seat build.
I did brother! It was just a matter of adding some strength back into it the frame after I cut them off. they are definitely gone now tho :)
Awesome. So clean. Keep it up my friend.
thank you Peter I hope you are getting your builds cranking along :)
Cafe Racer Garage unfortunately work is getting in the way right now. But soon I’ll be in the garage more. Keep em coming.
I'm new to the motorcycle world ,but i would love to try and build a scrambler .I'm 6'2" tall and looking for suggestions on what bike to start with.
Not to make more work for you Dan, but when you had the tank propped up at the start, I could TOTALLY envision a straight pipe running from the back of the tank to the hoop (and get rid of the seat dip in the middle).

Since your an Aussie, do you know if welding on a new loop requires an engineering certificate for rego?
I know you said it doesn't have to be Tig, but I just figured I'd ask an expert... Can I use flux core for a similar project? I have a 1980 CB750f and I'm trying to do something similar.
Yes that will be fine mate :)
@@CafeRacerGarage awesome! Much appreciated!
Your videos are awesome!
Gypsy Journals thank you 😊 I try and improve all the time :)
Is it safe to cut frame and change it? I mean is it will break?
Great as usual 🖐🏻
Thank you

Gary Yorke hey Gary we are our own worst critic and like everything, the more you do the better you get. Thank you for your kind words mate.
Do you know what mate ,I going to do the same thing with my seat hoop shorten it (brilliant)👍
I'm glad I was able to help mate :)
Another cool job bro, like to see a thicker seat as its a '"scrambler""man?
Thank you so much brother, For sure and yes you are 100% right It will get a thicker seat :)
Amazing what you can do with pretty basic tools.
Darrell Coy thank you mate, this bike is a $1200 budget challenge build so I’ve needed to fabricate as much as I can to keep the budget low. It’s been a really fun project and I’m glad your enjoying it
You are my inspirasion.
Nice bike
Good Job my friend 👌
Thank you mate I'm glad you are enjoying the build so far :)
Hi can you tell me what tires you put on this bike please both front and rear thanks.
Good job
Good choice on shortening the hoop. I see a lot of nice builds were the seat is too long and it ruins the whole look.
100 % agree with you David :)
Very very well done mate! Thanks for sending me the link on Ig ✊🏼
Nice tutorial to built bike 😀😀
eko_ heriyadibikers thank you mate, I’m glad you are enjoying them so far. Many more to come :)
Waiting for...more and more blarrr blarrr 👍👍👍
Any ideas for a scrambler out of a 2008 Suzuki katana 600
You should definitely give it a go
Hey mate. What tig welder are you using ?
205 acdc Cigweld
That exactly how I did mine on my cx500
JJ Keaton great minds :)
Who makes the tires on that machine please and thank you
to make a shorter seat was the right decision!
