I love this. I bought a sportster 48 front fender. My xv750 cafe racer front end is a zx6r and it only has 1 fender bracket on the front side of the tire where as yours has 2. How would you recommend I go about getting the necessary support for my fender since I only have brackets on the front end of my rotors and not the rear
i know im asking randomly but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the account password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Krew Daniel thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
I found this channel a day back, and I can happily say that I have finished watching all your videos in the 'Honda CB750 Cafe Racer Build' playlist. You have amazing talent on grinding that I have noticed. Another thing is that the cafe design that you have in mind is just brilliant, not like other ones I find on youtube. Way to go and I'm eagerly waiting for the finished motorcycle. Love from India. Cheers.
You are genius about simplicity. Angle stock and locking pliers for you welding jig! I cannot count the hours spent filling boogered threads in my mechanical career. Great video. Just too short for my liking. lol
Ken Follett thank you for the great feedback Ken 😊. I’m sure there are 100 ways to do the same thing but we just need to find what works best for us with the tools we have available to us :)
Great video dude. Love the music while you were welding. Really useful simple techniques to achieve great results. Thanks as always for the great advice.
Thank you Adam, Yes it's a cool song :) I'm always on the hunt for songs that will be easy to the ear but work with the video, Its a fine art and takes a very long time to get it right so thank you for this comment as Is something that is rare to get a comment on so I appreciate this. 👍
Samuel Gallant Thank you Samuel, I had planned a slightly different approach but the cost of parts being made on a lathe wasn’t cheap so this is what I came up with. Glad you like it :)
Hey dan awesome work!! Any chance u can pop to that fence place, pick me up some of those bolts and send them over the pond! Can’t find anything like that in the uk! Pretty please 🤔Al
Not a bad idea Dan didn't realise till the last moments the holes in the fender are closer than the mounting brackets and it just shows the bars tapered back in the last shots ..must admit my welding on something that small needs a bit more work to finesse it ..lol.hope those beers are going down nicely ..
Thank you my friend. The common question Iv had here in the comments is if the front fender will vibrate and that is a good question. If it does, I guess I may need to make it slightly stronger or a top bracket/ brace, I guess time will tell when I do a road test. Yes the beers were very good and well earned I think lol :)
Thank you mate. I have lots of ideas in my head when I start the fabrication but I just need to stick to one and hope it works out and this time it payed off
Antoine Festuot the weather in Australia is just starting to turn now and winter is coming so you may see me wearing a hoodie at times. It doesn’t get that cold where I live tho. Average temperature during a winters day is 15-20c / 59-68f I’m very grateful for our amazing weather 😊
I guess it will be something we will need to find out once it's on the road, The fun in custom fabrication is you never know what will and what won't work so I'm always learning :) Great comment by the way :)
Looks good! But...is it sturdy enough? Will it flex? I mean, the mudguard is its own bracket, so to speak. And those rods are long and not far apart. Just thinking safety! :-)

@@CafeRacerGarage Dan! It's been a year now, so what have you learned about this one? :-) I'm about to make something for my new front aluminium mudguard on my Honda CB650R Neo. I just don't like the plastic OEM one.
You can pick up a cheap stick welder that will do the job, If you want to get a Mig Id recommend using gas, Its a little more expensive to buy the shielding gas but way cleaner and nicer to weld with. If you are in Australia or New Zealand the Cigweld Ultra 185 is the best welder Id recommend and it does Stick, Mig, & Tig here is the video I did on it ua-cam.com/video/Jw-GSlSXO5s/v-deo.html Keep in mind its only available in Australia and NZ at the moment tho
@@CafeRacerGarage I'm thinking about getting a used MIG/MAG with gas as I've heard the flux wire MIG welders aren't the best. Feels more suited for small jobs on a cafe racer than a stick welder. :)
Gwlyddyn Very good idea, I understand how much better a Mig is but you will be amazed what you can do with a stick welder when it’s all you have on hand 😮

Looking wery nice Dan💪👌🏍
You ought to make a full dvd on every bouild. Just remember Danish subtitales 😉
The fender looks great.
Sweet, Dan! That build is really rockin’! Nice mudguard/fender/whatever!
🏍👍🏍
Incredible work buddy
Nice work. I like the look of those strut supports when completed.

Looks like a stock fender but better 😉👍🏼 great job
Stephan van Nunen thanks mate, was fun to make
Really nice work man
Great job man. Thank you
This helped me a lot, great idea!!! Thanks
What type welding wire do you use as a template/trial?
Nice job there mate.
Thank you mate :)
Great stuff as always Dan!
Thank you Steve :)
Wow! Pretty neat! Good job!
Hey dan awesome work!! Any chance u can pop to that fence place, pick me up some of those bolts and send them over the pond! Can’t find anything like that in the uk! Pretty please 🤔Al
Hey Dan where do you buy the pipe for your exhaust ? Thanks. Alan
Nice work, and great idea. Do you need to have the bikes Engineered for reg up there? I'm in Vic. Cheers Tony.
Tony Peters probably but I’m sure it will be fine if I class it as a custom bike :) otherwise it’s back to the drawing board lol 😂
@@CafeRacerGarage good luck.

something different Dan,why not!!

@@CafeRacerGarage Absolutely
How did u get the best design for a fender? I'm kinda stuck with the design.
What is the radious of the steel bar you used ?
I just guessed them so not entirely sure mate. It’s all custom
Hi, Nice job !!! thanks. Gus
Thank you mate :)
Good job and good idea...
Thank you mate :)
Aren't you on vacation? Stop editing and go drink cocktails with your wife! 😜 Great video man
Moto Mango haha 😂 I like to stay constant with my video posting even if I take a small break. 👍 I’m still drinking with her don’t worry 😉 😂🤣😂
Is is ever cold in your country ??

Hell yea, very cool.
Thanks brother :)
Brackets look smick, but will the guard not vibrate with no top fixing. CHEERS m8.

buy a cheap set of thread files. you will find uses for them
