Another great video! I love to see how far it's currently stripped since the last video and after the slow start you had with it! And that Tank "frame" idea looks promising!

Yes Nicholas I’ll definitely be making lots of episodes so stay tuned

I think the saying goes something like "striving for perfection is impossible, instead strive for excellence", something you're already adept at ;)

Nice video Dan., looking forward to the tank build. I have been watching Make it Kustom for a bit now. Ride safe mate. Cheers

@@CafeRacerGarage that will be a great addition to the tooling . Steep learning curve by all accounts but good luck Karl's the best video I've seen on teaching and he has some great references to others . However I do think your really going to need a much bigger extension now lol. All my best Dan

masterpiece of work!

Looking forward to see what you do. I think the virago is a brilliant choice for a cafe racer.

Looking awesome! I hope you have better luck than I did with a Virago, I had to scrap a 920 project because the electrical system was garbage. You are right on track with Karl on Make it Kustom, he's awesome .

the entire loop is a hand-wired mess from factory, but the loom isn't all that difficult to re-do

Great videos ,,, the tank fab was interesting ,,, just a though you probably know ,,, but if you make a plug out of drywall compound you could make a female mold from it and then using fiberglass and vinylester resin mold a tank ,,, not polyester resin vinylester resin be easier to do

I just finished my custom virago build! Took me 3 years! I hope you do amazing cool things with yours!!!

Hi. I just started conversion of my XV920 to a cafe racer and I found accidentally your video. I'm wondering what gas tank model is this red one that you've got? I've got a gas tank from 920 and 750 and both of them are much more curved than yours.

I recently found your channel and have started my very first build, a ‘74 KZ400… what are some options you’d recommend for front end conversion, budget friendly?

Great stuff so far. With the wire buck, what sort of wire do you need to be able to mig tack it like you have? looks really handy for stuff like this

Thank you mate, 2.4mm mild steel wire is all I'm using

Good job man , can i ask u, i m from morocco and i love classic bikes but all friend here advice me to dont get old bike bcs i will find hard to get it parts , what u advice me

from what bike was the red tank originally?

Good question....what is perfect? And when is "good enough" really good enough? Look at your project with the same pair of eyes as you look at your friends build. Then it's easier to find the balance between good, perfect and madness! Take care mate! Cheers!

very wise words John 😊 We can only do my best

Did you think about just changing the front end and using it like that...

Let me know what kind of welding machine brother

Awesome awesome stuff. I’m wondering why you couldn’t just cut the old tank and modify it to be flat instead of building a whole new one ?

@CafeRacerGarage

I could but I want to learn new skills

another great video. are you selling the instrument cluster? I'd like to buy it for the right price please pm me if keen

why not just cut the bit of the tank you dont want out and fit a new panel to your requirements ?

Hi Dan ,I just picked up a '94 virago 750 wondering what batteries you use I also have a 82 cx500
