Really nice idea and it looks great! 👏👏👏 It's a pity that here in Spain, or other European country, it is forbidden to install a DIY light/install in a vehicle, and we have problems with police tickets and more importantly, if we have an accident, because in this case the insurance company would not cover it... 😔😔😔
NICE, beautifully crafted as always. 👍 If you have a project that's a marathon of riveting, I highly recommend Milwaukee's 12v riveter. It runs all day on a single charge & is reasonably priced.
Nice work dude. Food for thought you can get rivets that are for countersunk holes might make the undertray more streamlined. Didnt know if you was aware. Keep up the good work
@@CafeRacerGarage Suggestion: As an experiment put an ad in the local classifieds. Explain who you are and if they could (re)draw and print the brake light housing. I am sure some kid out there can do it; probably no more than a mile or two from your house. 3D printing is great for small stuff or if you want to test fit a bracket design before making it out of metal.
Hi Dan, I have a question, Do we have to cut the front fork for the cafe racer? I'm a newbie, and I'm building the cafe racer by myself. I'm not sure that people cut the front fork to make the front lower or just move the triple clamp and headlight lower. Please help me answer my question. I appreciate it.
never cut the forks just the springs inside, you can ad a spacer to them to make them lower instead, however this reduces the travel of the forks, its best to research this before you do it and do it correctly, its only done for lowering the front of the bike and can make the front suspension a little harder if not done correctly,
@@CafeRacerGarage Thank you Dan. Thank you for your videos, that helps me a lots. I have another question Dan, my front rim is 19 and rear is 16 those are original rim(honda cb750C 1981), but I want to build the cafe racer style,so I plan to buy the 500-16 and 400-19 .Do you think it looks roughly the same?
Really liking this build. Hope we get some longer videos on it at some point.
I try to keep them short with lots of helpful tips and tricks but sometimes I make longer ones :) thank you for the feedback
Nice work Dan. I really like those seat buttons
Thanks mate, yes they work well

Excellent work Dan!
Thanks brother
Happy new year!
It certainly helps to have the right tools! And you have alot! Satisfying feeling!
Happy new year to you too bro, yes I worked hard to get them all but makes the process a lot easier that's for sure
NICE, beautifully crafted as always. 👍

Thank you mate and yes thats a great Idea
does the light not easily busted? i use a led strip, but after riding for some time, it gets busted easily
Nicely done 😎
Thank you

Keep up the good work
Thank you mate I will keep that in mind, its only thin alloy so might not be to strong with countersunk but would look clean
Just a thought Dan. 3D print the brake light housing? I know you have that mega Mill in the garage but that's another alternative.
Yeah that’s also a great idea, but I don’t have a 3D printer all the knowledge on how to make CAD drawings quite that well yet

Excellent work Dan, job well done mate. How nice it would be to have a milling machine, ride safe. Cheers
I started with just a hand drill so I worked my way up and still learning how to use it ☺️
Nice work
Thanks mate

I was like that's a bit over engineered then i saw the latch feature haha good one!
Thank you mate. I'm just sharing different ways to do things to help inspire others to do similar :)
😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰
