    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!

  • @allcartuner
    @allcartuner 6 лет назад +1

    Really great video! I wonder how difficult would it be to shape a front fairing using the same method... Also hell yeah everyone would be interested in another build! Especially if it's a low budget build that makes you think more outside of the box.

    • @CafeRacerGarage
      @CafeRacerGarage  6 лет назад

      Thank you Allcartuner I think any shape is posable with fibreglass, I think is going to be a positive on the scrambler tracker build so far :)

    @anthonyspadaro7731 6 лет назад

    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.

    • @OlieBurton
      @OlieBurton 6 лет назад

      Cafe Racer Garage Nice! It would be good to see. $1200 budget doesn’t seem like a lot. How much do you think your up too on your bike at the moment? I’m half way though a xs650 build and have spent easily 2K GBP. I have got with a M-Unit Blue and some other fancy bits that really added up.

    • @CafeRacerGarage
      @CafeRacerGarage  6 лет назад

      Olie Burton I really don’t know how much the 750 has cost me but I have kept all receipts to add up at the end. $1200 is a low budget and I guess it will be a massive challenge. :) xs650 would be fun to work on, what style you going for?

  • @rexmericle5068
    @rexmericle5068 5 лет назад

    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!

    @johnDukemaster 6 лет назад

    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? :-)

    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?

    @UrbanMonkTV 6 лет назад

    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
      @CafeRacerGarage  6 лет назад +1

      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 you need to apply a layer of wax to the mold before applying the gel for final product? I don’t see that on your video and looks like you applying the gel without any wax or easy remover layer? Also you using a blue/ greenish liquid (10:46) after you sing gel? What’s that? Thanks again

    Nice video, another method is to make your foam model, go to a fablab, 3d scan it and 3d print it.

    • @CafeRacerGarage
      @CafeRacerGarage  5 лет назад

      JM what the heck! that is awesome. 😊 I don’t know much about 3d stuff but I do know a guy that could help me with that :)

    • @melaniebemer
      @melaniebemer 5 лет назад

      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 ;)

    What did you place in the middle of the seat. Between the 90 degree metal side pieces to be able to have a flat surface to fiberglass

  • @Pargolfr00
    @Pargolfr00 5 месяцев назад

    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?

  • @Danimorera65

    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 🤔

  • @aniquerizwan

  • @notamotorbikemechanic

    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

    Hey I just had a question about your process. What is the blue liquid you use before you lay the fiberglass in the mold? I have my plug made just wanting to make sure I don’t mess anything up. Also I saw you had a waterproof rubber cement in your list, what is that used for?

    • @ZEllz1
      @ZEllz1 Год назад

      I was wondering about both of these same things lol. It looks like a greenish liquid, but I'm not sure what it is.

  • @brwhyon
    @brwhyon 4 года назад

    At 7:10 would a heat gun applied to the wax per coat work to fill in the pores of the plug ? Nothing too aggressive heat wise, just enough to smooth the surface for the next coat.

  • @swinp22

    At 8:30 ish did you put the gel coat over the layers of wax? Did you let the gel coat dry before putting the fibreglass sheets over it?

    • @CafeRacerGarage
      @CafeRacerGarage  5 лет назад +2

      swinp22 yes the gel coats goes on after wax and you can apply the matt sheets as soon as the gel coat get touch.
      Hope that answers the question, 👍😊

  • @patrickufkes
    @patrickufkes 3 года назад

    What’s the white stuf you use? I see on your list it’s a gelcoat. But you
    Use it after the release wax?

  • @Mercucio143
    @Mercucio143 4 года назад

    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
