Your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. Why buy it when you can have fun building it! Love it.

[@shedbuiltmoto]

Nice trick with the pvc that gives me all sorts of ideas 🤔. looking good! Well done mate.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Sean thanks mate and yes it is super handy stuff to heat & mould. I made a phone cradle out of it not long ago, so I wouldn’t keep accidentally pulling my phone off the shelf when the charger cable snags on something. you may see it in the background of some of my videos, it’s just a cradle to hold the phone while I plug it into my garage stereo. Simple but effective. :)

[@dmasterson12]

The most cinematic sewing video ever. Seat looks good, definitely a good move having a professional hand that diamond pattern.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, Im glad you enjoyed it, it was fun to create, I love to keep trying different things to improve my videos in hopes to get better and better so thanks for the comment to let me know im on the right track :)

[@justanothernoobe]

Saving this ... man alive - I feel a bit embarrassed for not realising how simple some of this stuff is ... it seems that my deviant self has become too conformative and forgotten how to bend the rules! I love that you keep pushing those boundaries and dispelling myths. Thank you so much, Dan - keep up the great work :) (note to self ... must check out your merch too ...)

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate 😁 I’m just super happy to share my ideas with you and hope you find them of use in your projects :)

[@53jed]

Super jaws - a brilliant Australian invention. Seat looks like a beaver’s tail.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Gerard Tyrrell the super jaw is one of the most used tools in my garage. I love it 😍

[@53jed]

The light fixture is fantastic. I love it to bits.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Gerard Tyrrell thank you mate, it was an idea I just just came to me so I thought I’d give it a go and share the process, I’m glad you like it :) hope it works for you to. Have a great day

[@chackothomas8929]

Your production quality is incredible!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Chacko Thomas thank you so much mate, I’m just one guy so I’ve had to learn everything and make lots of mistakes along the way, i’m really glad you are enjoying the videos

[@Beachmangarage]

F’ing well done! Speechless 😶😄

[@sparklygames71]

Nice, can't wait to see it all come together

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Me too lol thank you for the comment

[@BennosShed]

Really like that seat and the way you mounted the tail light. Going to have a go at this. Keep the vids coming, love your work man.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, im glad you like the videos and Im glad they are helping you with your build

[@JBSwanstrom]

That is nice looking and the light brilliant! Love to watch other thinkers solve problems. The complexity of industrial sewing machines is mind boggling as they rely on mechanical timing and cams. I work on high end Xerox color presses and appreciate how machines work.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

I enjoy watching the same thing at times. and yes those machines are complex, how they invented the sewing machine blows my mind but I'm very glad they did :)

[@lojumoto]

Pas de parole, c’est mieux . Super vidéo , super format, et super travail ! Good 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@CafeRacerGarage]

merci mon frère français j'apprécie vos gentils mots

[@jpalmiotti]

This was way easier and simpler than I expected, he said embarrassedly sarcastically.

[@Building_VANellope]

Nice seat, love the little light 👍🏼

[@CafeRacerGarage]

thank you brother glad you like it

[@thumperstu]

loved the way you made that little light holder:)

[@CafeRacerGarage]

thumperstu thank you mate. It was fun to make to ☺️

[@johnDukemaster]

Aaahh a man with the right tools and skills makes it look so easy! Sometimes it's nice to just stand there and observe. And that hypnotic mechanism in the sewing machine! If you like things like that, have a look at the front brake mechanism on a Vincent mc! :-) Happy new year Dan! :-)

[@CafeRacerGarage]

thank you John, Its always satisfying to come up with an idea and then manage to execute it, I hope it helps other guys with their taillight installs, Iv not seen anything like this on youtube so I thought id make it and share the idea.

[@rubenvillalvazo1917]

As always, it's an amazing job, thank you for share it and congratulations. I'll start a project and I hope to get the level of quality that you have.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Ruben Villalvazo thank you mate, I like to do the best i can and share the process to help others with their builds :)

[@garya3056]

Dan, that came out good, Mate. I hope that bulb is bright enough though. I wouldn’t want one of those Mack truck road trains to miss seeing you stopped at a traffic signal! Happy New Year to you and family!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Hi Gary. It may be small but it packs a punch when it comes to brightness and Id expect it to after what it cost me lol Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and yours to mate :)

[@garya3056]

Cafe Racer Garage ok good, Dan. It’s one of those items worth spending a bit more on! Happy New Year!

[@garya3056]

Cafe Racer Garage PS you have mail.

[@skorpscley]

Nice one👍 Greatings from Germany! 🤘

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Skorps Cley thank you and hi 👋

[@Maestrofideos]

Great video, Bike is really coming together nicely! Saludos desde Mexico!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Hello Sergio and thank you for your comment, yes it feels good to finally have one seat done :)

[@fader2701]

thanks for another great video

[@COBRATV427]

Great job. Thank you for sharing.

[@damonkai1075]

Hey Dan, I can't seem to find the link to the tail light you have used and was hoping to do something similar. Sorry if you have it up, but may I ask you to add it to the list of parts? Much appreciated!

[@RGMgarage]

Wow that looks amazing great idea mate and great work. Happy new year and good luck with the builds for 2019

[@CafeRacerGarage]

thank you my friend and I hope you have a great new year yourself :)

[@mjfox1190]

Amazing filming of the sewing! Does that sound weird on a biker channel? Whatever...seriously well done.

[@iulianinfo]

Absolutely brilliant! :D

[@Draxon_blades]

Looks killer mate👍

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you brother :)

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Damian Alleyn Thank you so much mate I’m really happy with how it turned out I’m glad you like it too 😊👍

[@BigLRestInPeace]

Great work as always! I'm continually impressed with your ability to work with virtually any material, and fabricate whatever you need. The tail light bracket could have been 3D-printed quite easily though 😂 you should concider getting one! There are tough printer materials out there.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

You are 100% right, I could have 3d printed it however the time taken on the computer learning a program is time i don't get in the garage and I love to use tools and make stuff , having said that a 3D printer is something I will look into, I know a few guys with them that im sure will give me advice if I ask nicely lol Im always grateful for your kind words

[@billburnard3790]

That is awesome!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate glad you like it :)

[@aeromechmike]

What tires are those? They look great!

[@TulsaMotoClub]

man the small little tail light looks sick! I had some small ones like that lined up ready to buy and im not really sure why I changed my mind! Ill have to pick some up for one of the other two projects Im gonna start soon

[@CafeRacerGarage]

thank you for the comment brother, Iv got the same little light going into the hump seat as you will see in a video soon

[@johndonghia12]

Anyone know what tail light this is? I’d like to get something similar

[@ap523asst6]

How much did the upholstery cost to get done dude, looks good

[@supersoph0942]

Nice build, great content. If you dont end up using the std custom rear guard or have another spare I could use one for a current project. Cheers

[@skarobby]

Hello it's great and very good performance. I wish you a good new year 2019.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

skarobby thank you again for your kind comments:) and a good new year to you to

[@manonwheels01]

will tis b comfortable?

[@THEGenerousGinger]

Well done!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you for the comment mate

[@nuttop01]

excellent great work

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, Simple strong and professional finish was what I was aiming for and I hope that what it looks like

[@wun-shenglin9860]

Nice job! Can I ask you a question? What is yellow glue which is used to stick sponge and fiberglass? THX!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

WUN-SHENG LIN great question, here is the same kind of glue I used. Different brand but it’s the same Contact Cement (Foam Glue) amzn.to/2GaSehq

[@xandergoodwin8278]

Is this material leather or vinyl

[@jiggangelopanganoron2839]

You're so awesome! .. Man you're skill is professional... May i know the adhesive you use, and the kind of canvas u use to make the frame of the seat?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

contact adhesive and the canvas is fibreglass matting (chop strand), I have a video under the CB750 build playlist of me making this seat

[@jiggangelopanganoron2839]

@@CafeRacerGarage wow, thanks for the knowledge man.. Grateful More build, God bless your work

[@gregnovak0070]

Nice solution bro, lights are so hard to make look good! What are you doing for indicators?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

greg novak this is a great question, I have my eye on some small but bright ones. Just need to find the placement

[@afnan_02]

Awesome mate 👍😍 What about the indicators?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Afnan Khan still to come 😮😊

[@jackbood1379]

Hey Dan, great content as always. I was wondering how he upholster the cover to your pan? was it only glue? thanks

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Yes just glue but that glue is strong stuff 👍

[@emilleirud4725]

How did you end up fixing the seat to the bike? Thought i saw a bolt, but no idea how the bolt is fixed to the seat itself

[@CafeRacerGarage]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGemmGiYmdaqpdk this older video shows the bolts i used and I just put fibreglass over the head of the bolt to keep it in place, hope this answers you question Emil

[@emilleirud4725]

Ahh, hadn't seen that video yet, thank you! 😁

[@lovelyboykumar2131]

How much seat

[@morgifaramhenfarming7796]

Wao

[@beemaltamang5939]

Ahh that's hot! 😍

[@LukeBrinkerhoff]

What plastic was that?

[@vibemunster]

Looks like a UPVC plastic conduit

[@CafeRacerGarage]

LukeBrinkerhoff PVC plastic pipe 50 mm

[@RickyMorrison]

Came to ask that.

[@LukeBrinkerhoff]

Cafe Racer Garage I assumed pvc, but was also thinking “couldn’t have been that simple” thanks!

[@jhimmycallisaya4391]

Cuales son los materiales

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Solo una tapicería de PVC en plástico y vinilo.

real leather?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Camilo Márquez Villegas Just vinyl

[@TheLangitcerah]

No backsound please..

[@FluxStage]

jesus. So much want

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Tobias Wikström thank you mate

[@Uncle_Chuck]

Just a quickie lol

[@CafeRacerGarage]

CHARLES BRONSON yeah this one was a shorter one but still packed with some good stuff I hope :)

[@Uncle_Chuck]

Cafe Racer Garage hell yeah.... your an ideas man love it How many bikes have you done?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

CHARLES BRONSON It doesn’t always go to plan as well as this idea :) to be honest the two bikes I’m currently working on are my first 2 complete builds. I have had loads of experience in automotive and fabrication over the years and it’s all starting to become useful for my own builds 👍😊

[@Uncle_Chuck]

Cafe Racer Garage well it’s all working out for ya mate
