[@Draxon_blades]

I love watching these type of problem solving vids mate. So much great info and ideas. Keep up the great work

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate. I'm so glad they are helpful :)

[@basbeunhaas]

thanks for the video's! You inspired me to get my motorcycle licence and yesterday i bought my own bike to build!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

That is so amazing dude :) I'm super excited for you. What bike did you get?

[@basbeunhaas]

@@CafeRacerGarage Thnx! i'm not kidding but i've also bought Virago (1982 750xv). I didn't see your last video where you got the bike haha! I'm excited what you going to do to it!

[@ChrisS5416]

Great video as usual. Love the problem solving approach

[@carltonolson6813]

Clean work 👍like the turn signals

[@SwedenAirhead]

Thanks for the videos! They are always easy to understand and intresting to watch! I have recently bought a XV 750 to start building also so I cant wait to see your coming videos and solutions.

[@anshusingh-ue3ol]

pl making Bajaj avenger 150 in bobber look

[@Andydubya]

This is brilliant timing, have been looking for a solution to have an easy access hinge/latch for my seat and this fits the bill perfectly! Awesome! Scrolling eBay for a latch now :) looking forward to the next part. Love these builds.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you so much Andy :)

[@peterk2455]

Cabinet Fitting, lost of different knobs, latches, catches and locks. I'm using stainless steel marine cabinet catches on my K100 build.

[@chiefpepdesign]

Have a look at the Kellermann flashlights... I use them too. They are absolutely georgious.

[@dtaylo4517]

Top bit of engineering on the seat latch, wish id seen this before id made start on my project 👍🇬🇧

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, Its a thinking game lol. Some days I just sit next to the bike thinking about a way that will work and try and make it happen. :)

[@mongrelkat1139]

Great to see you put your trials and errors in as usual mate, the Yammies top end might need a freshen up perhaps? have a good easter!!!

[@johnDukemaster]

Good thinking! About those rear lights. I had a Yamaha with really clever indicators. In front with running lights and at the rear with running lights/brake lights. But it was difficult to see one light from the other at the rear when running light was on. So I kept that function in the center light and indicator/brake light at the sides. Everybody knew when I used my brake! One thought about your films is that if you ask me, don't use that much time on finding music. Your films can "live" without it. :-)

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you so much mate :)

[@garyyorke1080]

Wow for the size those ickle lights are really bright , good idea on the seat latch but that elongated hole wont work on the brat would a small tab facing down accessible from underneath be any use as can be done to both brat and cafe racer .liking the idea of the single seat conversion for the xv they do look a bit clumsy with the king an queen style rear seat ..great video as always Dan looking forwards to the next Also great to see the new grinder showing how versatile that bar adjustment is ..regards gaz..now for brekkie

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, You have a good point on the seat release idea for both seats. Hmmmm I will do some more thinking ;) So glat you are enjoying the videos so much

[@rubengarcia8974]

if you had chamfered the bottom of the hole as you did the top maybe the pin wouldn't catch?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Ruben Garcia you are 100 % right brother, thank you for the comment 👍

[@BOBBER400]

Another solution (the latch) solved, by the ideas man :) Thanks m8.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Haha thanks man :)

[@BetterDeadThenRed]

What’s the name of the back turn lights, I would love to get my hands on em

[@CafeRacerGarage]

highsider is the brand mate :)

[@garya3056]

Mad skills, Mate! Looking good. 🏍👍🏍

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you Gary :)

[@garya3056]

👍 hope you’re doing well. Just returned from a crazy Malta holiday. Have you been?

[@TheOzzyRaptor1]

Hey mate! Thanks for the video. What’s the brand of tyre you go on that? Looks cool as

[@giggleswithjamaal]

Nice hat mate.

[@jasonfischer8994]

Looking for some advice, I have a 82 gl 500 converted to a cafe. first ride with my new Anti-gravity AG 801 and it swelled, started smoking and melting. what should I be looking for to prevent this? Kind of scared to buy another lithium ion battery. Love your channel , thanks for and help!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

This is something you may want to ask an auto electrician but I believe you may want to look at the shorai brand of battery amzn.to/2Lzl7tC also a new regulator rectifier.

[@jasoncho5745]

Hey Dan seat mounting question for ya! I made a custom seat that uses a screw in the middle of the base to attach to the frame. I'm in the process of making an electronics tray and just realized I won't be able to get to that screw when the tray is installed. Don't have a welder, any suggestions on how to mount the seat?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Jason Cho did you watch part 2 of this video or have you checked out the way I fitted the latch on the Scrambler build? I did a videoing it

[@jasoncho5745]

@@CafeRacerGarage I did, but I don't have a welder, so I'm limited to the bare bones frame at the moment, but I might be able to attach some latch mechanic through the current bolt holes. I was wondering if you did anything similar to a snap into place seat, bad example a bucket lid.

[@88kleenmachine]

Love the vids! Where did you get the bullet like tail/brake light pods? Thanks.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

I can't remember the name of them but I think this was the website I got them from www.louis.eu/ hope that helps mate

[@nevido84]

are you done with cx500 budget scrambler?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Its still going mate, i just need to spread my time across the 2 builds so more scrambler content coming soon :)

[@kcapt96]

Great videos! Just a question, do you make those seat pans (the black and the white one) or did you buy it? Thanks!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

kcapt96 I’m unsure what you are referring to. Can you be more specific?

[@kcapt96]

@@CafeRacerGarage around minute 16:30 that black piece that seems like ABS. Did you make it or did you bought it ?

[@MotoMango]

Nice video, Dan! What are those turn signals called? Have a link by chance? :)

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Here you go brother www.louis.at/artikel/power-led-blinker-schwarz/10035535?filter_article_number=10035535&list=095caae508784db6ae257002c6b042ad

[@bartsegers7091]

Hi !! just an info question : where do you buy those seats ? Searched for supliers in Europe but found nothing I like. TIA !!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

The seats I have are custom made by myself, Here are just 2 of the videos where I am building them :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZebpZaeaJpnfqM kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoeXhXaDoNVsZ9E

[@BraceletGreen]

did you see the kellermann atto? We build them on our BMW, they are even smaler than these guys. they are so tiny, you wont recognise them while turned off but got an immense brightness for the flashes (safety first)

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Yes I think that is something I would like :)

[@BraceletGreen]

@@CafeRacerGaragethey are absolutely amazing, i wired them at first at a battery like you did and kind of blinded me :D Maybe you could hide them unter your seat somewhere (where the hump starts to rise up connected with a bracket at the inner side) so that they just are seen while flashing.

[@yamaguy1084]

Compression shouldn’t vary more than 14psi from one cylinder to the other. Minimum 128psi, standard 156psi and max 171psi

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you so much Samuel I appreciate it a lot

[@yamaguy1084]

Cafe Racer Garage no problem just happened I was looking in my Clymer manual when I got notification of your video.

[@Lukas_Schaefer]

How come the "Hammer" isn´t welded on the motorcycle? :D never saw that "trick" . subscribed :)

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Lukas Schäfer Great question, I used a brass hammer so that it will fill the hole but not weld to it :)

[@dr_suprar175]

nice man, can you put the link for the ''latch'', I have to buy one for my project as well thanks

[@CafeRacerGarage]

I can't add a link to a 2nd hand part unfortunately, Its a Kawasaki Ninja 2010 Latch If that helps :)

[@gray_ghost5.738]

Just built my seat pan for the build series for my GS550. We both have some similar ideas. I should have a video with some info on it in the next one i post tomorrow. Or the one following Dm me on Instagram and we can go over a few ideas with our seats if you want 🍻

[@ubisoftdogameseduuu9971]

0:05 song? Please!

[@willvan940]

That’s awesome man ! I’d like to have a fighter jet style pull strap for release

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thats a cool idea :)

[@johanenglund1910]

what happened too the scrambler ?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

It's still going Johan, Im just spreading the love and my time in both builds lol :)

[@homeboyhorse2927]
