my favorite video so far. really good work! would love to see a series of the cx build

This is an amazing video I’m using this to make a carbon fiber cowl for my XSR900 anniversary. I have a second subframe so I think I’ll make a chipped down cafe tail for it as well!

great idea with finding the equivalent items so folks can do this job with a quick shopping trip.

YES!!!!! To the tracker build! 😀😀😀

Yes please. Great idea. Looking forward to view your build before I start mine.. 78 CX500, bought with rear frame chopped by previous owner.

A Scrambler would be sick! These videos are awesome. You and Combustion Junction have inspired me to play around with my GS 1100 once it is registered. Keep up the good work. Mick, Port Macquarie

The cx should easily be able to make tracker or scrambler out of. the real deciding factor is where you buy parts, what brand you buy and how much work you do yourself vs. buying bits. I would really like to see this type of video since I am currently building a mild tracker/brat 1982 CX500 C.

Love to see the CX project, mostly just because they've been done to death as a cafe racer and I'm itching to see something different. A tracker would be an awesome project.

Do the CX! The CX650C is my favorite model. I have four, one being a parts bike. The first one I did as a solo seat tail dragger done in OD green with red wheels and white wall tires. Basically, a WWI bi-plane color scheme...complete with bullet hole decals. Get compliments on it all the time. They are just great bikes. I'm doing a CX500 right now, but it's being built for a friend. I would really enjoy seeing how you would redo the CX500!

Definitely on the cx challenge.

Leith thank you neighbour 👍

Nice work mate! :-) A friend of mine made a hump out of an old helmet. Out with the interiour and cut it into shape. Nice idea! Of course we would like to see you make another bike! If you feel about those wheels on the cx as I do, they have to go. But no worries, keep the hubs! Yes, those "spokes" are bolted on. So instead of those ugly stamped pieces of sheet you make 2 rings that fit on the hub. On the outer fringe of that ring you make holes for proper wire spokes and a rim to fit! Works fine! Makes sense? :-)

Another great video man, enjoying your build! Can't wait to get mine looking like a bike again!

Cafe Racer Garage: yes indeed you should look into it. I did mine with a fablab (a free place full of technology like 3d printer and 3d lasers): 3d scan your model (or take a few pictures + fusion software, free). and then you can 3D print a plastic base (or 3D laser cut 3mm wood parts for the base) & 3D laser cut polyurethane (hard plastic foam like yoga mat) to make the hump. Cheers ;)

Great video! I'm in the middle of a seatpan build myself. No prior experience with this part of my build. Question... What would be the potential downside of simply making your initial mold the final piece c working on smoothing the outside rather than the inside? I have a boatbuilder friend who I've been debating this with and would love your thoughts. Keep up the great work!

@CafeRacerGarage

6 жыл бұрын

Great Question and I have the answer for you in part 3 next Sunday. short answer is yes, you are correct tho, it's posable to just smooth the outside and have that as your final part, I just wanted to show the full process. any questions just ask.

Do the Srambler build!

Hey great project, and A1 vid, i have subscribed! Here is a thought. Why not turn the engine around 90° in the frame so it becomes slimmer and can then also convert direct to chain drive 🤔

hey mate, I absolutely love the videos, and are about to try it out myself. I was wondering about the gel-coat. Do you put the fiberglass and polyester on the gel-coat when it's still wet, or do you let it cure? Regards!

Hi I was sent here from 'Classic Octane' . Like your work. I'd like to make the seat of my Zx10 a solo seat, do you think I could make something like this, but using the seat itself as a mould. Maybe by covering the seat with cling film, or do you think it would damage the seat? Cheers

In the states we call it a Dirtbag challenge, But where you buy the bike and build it for under 1000 dollars and take it on a hundred mile ride

Hey mate, Really good video. The only thing that I do not understand is why you didn't use mold that you get in first place (10:20) but instead you lay few more fibre glass layers inside that mold and then removed new shell from inside and you end up with two almost identical parts ( 11:19)? Cheers

Question mate. Before you lay the glass it looks like you paint on another coat of what you call flow-coat (gel coat w/wax). Do you add hardening agent to that coat and do you let it dry prior?
