I wrapped my exhaust. Looked amazing till the rust came through. It totally ruined the exhaust in 18 months because it held water. I have since made a stainless exhaust. Thanks love the videos
brian gillespie thank you for you kind words mate :) I painted this exhaust in heat paint first and than wrapped it. Hopefully it will keep it from rusting to fast 🤔. Otherwise I will have to do what you did.
You're welcome. I think the irish climate had a hand in ruining my exhaust too. The bike is a 1977 suzuki gs 750 and it did run a little better with the wrap on. Keep up the good work man :)
Peter Kowalinski Thank you again Peter I’ve recently updated all the lights in my garage so hopefully that makes a difference to the videos. My friend who lives down the street said when I’m working at night with the garage door open it looks like a beam of light coming out of the garage because it so bright haha 😂
Wow that's awesome I'm so glad you like them :) Are there any videos on topics I don't have that you would like to see in the future? I post a new video at the same time every week like clockwork :)
Wow thanks for the shoutout ,hopefully it helps encourage more people to jump onboard. The exhaust looks mint , i didn't know there was a tool for those steel zip ties. Cheers.
Just Tex you are more than welcome my friend, I’m working on the first video just for my Patreons 👍 yes I’m blown away aa a few more guys have now jumped onto Patreon so I’m extremely excited to get you guys some early access to what’s coming on the channel
Another quality video. I just love your attention to detail with your bikes and your editing! When you said the shocks were ten centimeters longer than stock, I nearly fell off my chair but in the next sentence you said ten millimetres haha
Greetings from across the ditch! Hooked on your vids as im just starting an 88 gsxr750 cafe project. Great to see you do things the right way with a quality finish. I notice alot of others taking shortcuts with their builds and its hard to keep watching.
Shaun Brown Thank you for the comment mate, where are you located? This is a $1200 budget Challenge build so I can’t do everything the way I’d like but once the challenge is over I will be redoing a few things :) Gsxr 750s are great bikes 👍
Even with the budget its looking great. Im in NZ, Central Otago-South Island. Hopefully one day i will get the camera out and get some footage of the build.
Many if your Amazon links are dead. I understand it’s been some time but perhaps some specs on the parts would be good. Like how long are these shocks? 10mm longer than stock is how much? Great work. Thanks for all the cool content.
sagar dwivedi I did think of making it myself but trial and error will pay a part in the cost so I thought it would be easier and cheaper to have one made. Thank you for the comment Sagar :)
CHARLES BRONSON I need to see more of Sydney as that’s where I was born, paddington but I Cafe to Qld when I was very young and have only returned once for a short time.
Had me questioning what you were looking at on youtube for a second there lol. That shorty muffler sounds a little better, might just be that it looks better influencing me. Really digging those grips too.
D_ Baggington yes I thought about that when I was editing that part of the video lol all the thumbnails are of hot girls and I guess that’s what gets the clicks. I’m 50/50 on the sound so I will try a new muffler and see how that sounds if it’s in the budget
You have a broad range of good skills. Probably one of the best things about your videos is the attention to detail in a wide range of areas from welding, metal work, mechanical, fibreglass and more. Can I ask where you learnt your skills, is it from past or present job or has it just been a hobby to work on cars/bikes etc at home?
Wow Thank you Ross, This is one of the nicest comments iv had and you just made my day, Its comments like this that make me want to really make more and more videos. In regards to my skills, I’ve been playing with mechanics since I was young along with many different skills I have learned along the way! My dad was into woodwork when I was growing up so I had many tools to play with as a kid. I've also had many jobs in different areas that were of interest to me so that made my skills grow too, trust me I make many mistakes and sometimes expensive ones that make me learn fast lol If you watch guys like myself on UA-cam you can learn from us and just get the tools you need to have a go :) Hope this helps explain a bit more about myself brother :) Any questions just ask
Only trouble I've had jumping big engine bikes is engine mount that bolts in front breaks or cracks leaking oil.Shits you so welded together but can,t ever split engine to fix unless grind apart again, good luck and make sure all your bolt mounts are tight
@@CafeRacerGarage Thanks. Yeah looking for a bike now to start building my first budget Scrambler. Also wondering where you got the the tires for the budget bike know you probably said 🤔 Thanks man looking forward in your other videos
Hi Dan- really well done production on this vid. I’m not a fan of wrapped pipes but I guess it helps with the budget for the build. Hard to tell the better sounding muffler, but am going to go with the new one. So unbelievable that ppl can stay in business with such crappy customer service- re your hoop bender guy! Hope you enjoyed the Bali holiday! 🏍👍🏻🏍
Gary A Thanks ma-man, In regards to the hoop, I didn’t want to name and shame the business but they really shouldn’t be in business from the way they treated me, I’m sure I’m only a small fry to some of their bigger jobs but that’s really not an excuse I don’t think. Oh well no point worrying about things that we can’t change lol 😂 I will upgrade the muffler after the challenge I think 👍😊. If you did like wrapped pipes, your bike would look good with them
Hi, bike's looking great, love the exhaust colour . Any chance you could tell me what fender did you used for the front and the length of it, it looks very good. Thanks for the video. Gus from Wales
Gustavo Bongioanni it’s the original fender and I’m unsure of the length as I just cut it until I was happy with the look of it. Here is the video I made about the front fender ua-cam.com/video/lsjoGISCveU/v-deo.html Any questions just ask :)
Hey Dan , love the videos. I am picking up so many little tricks to do simple little jobs that I wouldn’t have thought of. I have been wondering about the engineering of the seat hoop! Am I right in thinking that if you can find an engineer to sign off the safety aspect of this then Qld transport should allow registration? Thanks again for the great vids.
Great question brother, Rules can be tough especially in Qld 🙄with custom bikes, however, we have some guidelines, so as long as you stay within those guidelines when you roadworthy it and have it registered then you will have no problems, My steel work is strong and I tent to overbuild things so as long as you think like that the engineering side will be ok and you should be 1/2 way there. If you find the Qld Gov Motorcycle mods page feel free to drop the link here for other guys who read your comment and are wondering the same question. The motorcycle community on youtube is awesome and very supportive :)
Lupz the colour doesn’t hold that’s for sure. I’m sure a company has a die that will hold on, just need to find when brand it is so I can let my subscribers know :)
I like it 👍 it sounds great. It was interesting to see the metal zip ties as i'd not seen them before. Whats your running total like for this build so far?
Mark I’m explaining a little bit more about the budget In next week’s video, I won’t disclose the total until the end of the build but it’s becoming quite a challenge.
Digging the wrap. Delkevic has a nice sound to their exhaust if you aren’t sold on these but between the two go with the new. It also blends in better profile wise. Off topic. Is this your main gig or a passionate hobbie?
The muffler will give it the different sound for sure I just need to be mindful of the budget that’s all. It will definitely get a new muffler after the challenge is complete, I work 6 months of the year and work on the bikes and travel the rest of my time, Hopefully this will become a full-time thing so I can make more videos for you :) I really love it!
Here you go brother, They are very light so I would be careful if you want to use them for off-road, Im thinking of getting a stronger set after the challenge is complete. www.ebay.com.au/itm/Universal-7-8-Black-Motorcycle-Tracker-Handlebar-Drag-Bar-For-Harley-80cm/152872278995?_trkparms=aid%3D555017%26algo%3DPL.CASSINI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20180905084510%26meid%3D5d84b8fe29d941e6b68cdbde44fa8d5f%26pid%3D100505%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26%26itm%3D152872278995&_trksid=p2045573.c100505.m3226
Yes It does slightly, nothing to worry about tho, it won't affect the balancing or the tire in any way, unfortunately, the budget on this build just won't allow for everything I wanted to do to this bike so what I will do is, complete your $1200 challenge and hopefully stay under budget and after is complete I will make some changes like this rim for example :) Im having so much fun with it and can't wait to finish it so we can take it on a motorcycle camping adventure, Woud be cool if you coud have your BMW cafe Raver finished by then
Yes, fair enough brother. Safety first. Well, on the BMW I am planning on starting the build very soon. After taking your advice on board, I have decided to create a channel and record the progress of the build.
Mate I was just thinking... You find a plumber in your town and he will bend you a piece of tube straight away for it... Worth the try as they have all sort of pipe bending machines 😉
Hi Nuno, This a good idea but the 24mm CHS (circular hollow section) I will be using has a very thick wall so even a plumber will struggle, I thought about making a jig and bending it myself but It a lot of work for one piece of pipe so I just found a guy to do it for me :)
HajtoTimaSek it was just steam coming off the Pipes because the wrap was still wet. It’s normal for that to happen when you first wrap a set of pipes. Also a little white puff of smoker vapour came out the exhaust which I’m assuming was just unburnt fuel
You should get rid of those p.o.s. carbs and get a pair of lectrons carbs and kiss all your carb problems goodbye. They are self adjusting carbs. It'd be the best purchase of your life, I promise you that. They automatically adjust for pods, humidity, pressure, temperature, and altitude. You never have to jet or adjust ever again. They're also big fuel savers. Also the throttle response is amazing. I put 4 on my 81 GS650GL Suzuki and now I feel like I'm cheating on my wife every time I ride. LoL..😎
@@CafeRacerGarage It cost me $1550 American for 4. So around half for 2. I've seen a couple cx's on UA-cam with them and from what I hear is it's an easy upgrade for a cx. My bike had the original carbs on a rail setup, so I had to Jerry rig mine to a quad cable set up. It was a bit of a pain but worked out in the end. I got mine because I like to ride in the cascade mountains and I go from 50 foot elevation to around 5000 foot elevation and back in a day. When I'd get up in the mountains I'd notice a big power loss and sometimes I'd have to pull my tank and adjust my carbs while there. Ever since I got these carbs, I haven't had any issues in the mountains. I wanted to go fuel injection but that was to expensive for a 4 cylinder, but I think these carbs are as good if not better than fuel injection.
That is awesome and i love the idea, I wonder if you can drop a link to the CX Video you saw with them fitted, that ride sounds amazing by the way I remember what the drive into Whistler was like early this year so I'm assuming its as amazing as that?
@@CafeRacerGarage Never been to whistler, but I think the ride to Mt. Baker is would be. Especially when you get on the old logging roads. I live in Washington state. I couldn't find that video for the life of me. I think it was on racer tv or something. But they have an epic BMW café on their page with lectrons on it. If your carb cables run up to a 2 into one cable collective, then it's going to be a plug n play set up. Mine was set up as one cable operating a rail that connects to all the carbs. Kinda like your cb 750. So I had to figure out how to set up a 4 to 1 collective. Here's their site. www.lectronfuelsystems.com The BMW is the fourth dot.
Thank you for the comment brother Yes I will need to play with the baffling in it i think, A new muffler will be coming once I complete the $1200 budget scrambler challenge so Im not to worried at this stage :)
Hi Doug, thanks for the feedback, I totally understand where you are coming from. Patreon is a lot more than just donating money, it's an amazing platform for guys that want more from their favourite creators like myself, they get access to exclusive content made just for them, including giveaways and they can see what's happening on the channel way ahead of time, and have input into the direction that the channel goes, just to mention a few benefits. Each video I create takes a week of shooting and about 8 hours of editing. I do it because I love it and I love to share my process and give more to the people that want more on a personal level. I hope that gives you a bit more insight into it 🙂

Wow Bolivia, that’s a place I don’t know much about however South America is on my list to see more of.

Wow that's awesome I'm so glad you like them :) Are there any videos on topics I don't have that you would like to see in the future? I post a new video at the same time every week like clockwork :)
I was always told you put exhaust wrap on wet so it shrinks up and gets tighter.
When it’s released ep 12? And how of your tiempo absorbs

Like the sound of the new black exhaust. Sorry about the hoop. Still hoping you do the green tank and brown seat. Great video as usual.

Sebastian Monreal thank you brother. By the way I happen to love Mexico. I’ve been there 3 times ;)
Chinkon means scroutz
What sort of gaskets do you have on the exhaust?
Wondering were to get those gold front shocks or forks you have on the other bike you've been working on
Check you local classifieds, Gumtree, FB Marketplace, craigslist etc and look for R6 forks. Hope that helps mate. Have a great day

another good vid mate any thoughts on colours yet?

@@CafeRacerGarage does it need to be thick? Just asking as I don't know how you will finish the rear yet 😂
Nuno Cox no it doesn’t really but the 24mm stock tube has a thick wall and I can’t change that.
It’s just what I have available in Australia
What casued the white smoke?
HajtoTimaSek it was just steam coming off the Pipes because the wrap was still wet. It’s normal for that to happen when you first wrap a set of pipes.

Kinda like your cb 750. So I had to figure out how to set up a 4 to 1 collective. Here's their site.

Pick that original exhaust. Got more snap and aggression of tone. Looks pretty nice running naked skeleton

A bit cheeky asking for patreon support when you have all the tools, time and you travel when you want. I think you are doing just fine.
Hi Doug, thanks for the feedback, I totally understand where you are coming from. Patreon is a lot more than just donating money, it's an amazing platform for guys that want more from their favourite creators like myself, they get access to exclusive content made just for them, including giveaways and they can see what's happening on the channel way ahead of time, and have input into the direction that the channel goes, just to mention a few benefits. Each video I create takes a week of shooting and about 8 hours of editing. I do it because I love it and I love to share my process and give more to the people that want more on a personal level. I hope that gives you a bit more insight into it 🙂
