Mounting the side stand further forward is probably your best bet, man. It will be closer to the majority of the weight of the bike anyway, and give better support, and balance. I have a 1980 CX500C here in the states, and one of the issues, maybe even the only issue I have with the bike is that the side stand is too far back, and it's not a good balance when it's on it. I'll be moving mine forward. Probably the best solution for you too. I love your videos, and look forward to them. I've watched everyone, and can't wait to see your builds come together. Also, thanks for turning me on to Chief Pep, I saw one of his videos where he solved the problem of his leaking petcocks on his XS750 tank, and I had the same issue. So, now I know how to fix it too!

[@DirceuCorsetti]

I think this is the answer. Move it forward and you are set. Shortening it will make the bike lean more that you want her to. Makes her look worn.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate I really appreciate the comment, I may do some testing with a side stand before i start cutting it off, just to make sure the ballance is ok, What you say sounds about right,

[@waynehawes6906]

You could cut the side stand mounting bracket off and weld it back on further along the frame. I’ve done that on a couple of my bikes and it works out ok.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, I was thinkinhg about this but I wasnt sure of the balance point

[@waynehawes6906]

Cafe Racer Garage I’ve had no problems. Just set the bracket at the same angle as is was before removing (I measured it with one of those variable carpenters squares)

[@mongrelkat1139]

Have a fun break mate,somebody''s got to do it!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate :)

[@bintangsena2249]

hey you're in my hometown ! enjoy your visit !

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, will do :)

[@Squixxor]

Great photography! To the build, You could possibly bring the whole side stand forward until it doesn't interrupt your foot pegs. Or get air suspension so that you don't have to use the side stand, don't ask me how, because that one I haven't solved!😂

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, Yes this was the only I idea I could come up with but I'm not sure of the balance point, Air suspension is a big job 😯

[@XF218]

Where did you get this rearset kit from ? Looks awesome ! Greets from Germany

[@Beachmangarage]

Hey Dan, just getting caught up on your vids! Great drone shots! Bali def on the vacation list. My wife has tons of family over your way, one day we'll get there!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Combustion Junction thank you Steve, I hope to meet you sometime that would be awesome :) Where in Canada are you? I will be coming back to Canada many times more :)

[@mewserino]

sorry you're stuck in bali.. hope you get home and back to your bikes soon

[@CafeRacerGarage]

:) I will return soon with more cool videos :)

[@dcwn45]

I am looking at the same kickstand issue with my build, I’m thinking of cutting it off and trying to move it forward on the frame

[@gregnovak0070]

Loving you vid bro!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you, I'm glad you are enjoying them :)

[@karldevilla3376]

First! Loving your vids man! Keep it up!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thanx mate, Will do, glad you are enjoying them :)

[@garya3056]

Beautiful photography, Dan. Looks like you brought along your drone! I'm back in HK and Spore this week. At which property do you stay in Bali? The wife and I have been to the Intercon and the Hyatt. Enjoy your stay, Mate! When you get back, try moving that kickstand forward a bit maybe?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, I'm not sure of the balance point but I will try that idea, someone also said to try and make an s shape stand to make it go under the frame and I thought that was a good Idea :) Staying in a hotel called The Bantha, it has a swin up bar and is right on the beach :) thebandha.com/ the Hyatt and Intercon are very nice.

[@garya3056]

Cafe Racer Garage hotel sounds awesome. I’m heading home from S’pore today myself. Enjoy. Looking forward to your final engineering of the jiffy stand. 🏍👍🏍

[@michigandogman3060]

My first thought was move the kick stand forward, not a whole lot of other options.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you brother I still haven't decided on this yet, I've been giving it some thought and I may make new rear set bracket further back :) have a good day my friend

[@seanhunt3417]

Great video. Unreal footage at the start mate. I have finally finished my cb 250 cafe racer. But I am also have problems with my rear sets. So will be interesting to see what you come up with. Cheers mate.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, custom stuff always challenges our creative side :) i love it

[@sparklygames71]

Awesome videos, even if you don't get to comments it's totally understandable.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, I will do my best to reply even If it takes me a little longer to get to everyone :)

[@Kro_man_tx]

If you are changing the height of the bike (lowering it) you might get away with simply shortening the stand. It's hard to tell from the video if you could keep the current location and shorten it enough to clear the shifter but still have a stable side stand.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

thank you for the idea, It may end up a little to short unfortunately

[@JuanOropezaCC]

Hello, i’ve been looking for this rear sets and I cannot find them on the links or in your amazon list, i love your work, and videos, thanks for what you do!

[@victorrodriguez-wx8gn]

Greetings I am working on a suzuki GS750T 1982 and I am trying to get an after Market Rear set and I can not get anything that I can adapt since my project is to convert to cafe Racer

[@anderskeseler980]

which bike is the best bike to start with for a total beginner who has never touched a bike before?? great vids love em btw i know the basics of working with engines and mopeds so I'm not a complete beginner

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Great question but very hard to answer, Id say its best to find the bike you like the look of when its converted first and then do some research to make sure parts are easy to get and not to expensive, search Pinterest for some cafe racer / scrambler ideas. Hope that helps :)

[@ailstedt77]

Would it matter much if you simply moved it 10cm or 4inches forward. Would that interfere with the balance when placed on the kickstand?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Not to sure I may need to test this out, thank you for the comment mate :)

[@jonjon8298]

Love your videos! I suppose I missed this in a previous video, but did you make those rearsets or buy them? If the latter, from where?

[@dylansmith7705]

Are here any decent center stand solutions for the bike? Or would that interfere with the exhaust... Could the side stand be cut and mounted an inch or two farther forward? Good luck with that man.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, Yes this was the only I idea I could come up with but I'm not sure of the balance point

[@antwolff1426]

Hey mate totally unrelated but if you decide to replace your rhs switch block and throttle tube let me know. Ill be keen to buy it from you. Also i would just do what a few of the people in the comments section have already suggested. Move the kickstand forward.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thanks Ant, not sure if I will be replacing them any time soon but I will keep you in wind if i do

[@jordandenmark8443]

What if you cut the side stand bracket off and weld it further up the frame?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, Yes this was the only I idea I could come up with also but I'm not sure of the balance point

[@jeffp.5080]

I'm working on an 86 CMX450 and the top tube of the frame has a bend in it. Can that be cut and repaired or should I get a new frame

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Most of the time yes stuff like that is fixable but make sure you get it fixed by a professional that knows steel as it may have bent the frame as well.

[@johnDukemaster]

An old time centerstand on the swing! Or on the front wheel? Or just in front of the engine? (saw that on a big touring bike once) Or a chainguard that swings out? In Finland a guy used his sidemounted numberplate as a sidestand. He just swinged it down, hidden hinges somehow. Scratchy plate though! Ha ha, once I saw this bike with pneumatic suspension and when parking, he just put the bike flat on the ground! :-)

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Those are some great ideas John thank you :)

[@gregnovak0070]

Came across a GN400 in pieces going really cheap! Do you know anything about these bikes and what finding parts for them would be like? I know its got bad compression to start with, so it will need engine work for sure. Mainly worried about finding parts, as I think they are pretty rare bikes, this one was imported from Aus.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

I would be careful with a rare bike as they may cost you so much in parts, I can't say Iv'e had much to so with GN400 bikes but I know they are a great bike to convert into a scrambler or cafe racer :)

[@robertpepper7061]

The mount might have to be rotated to under the frame, shorten the stand etc...…….have also toyed with the idea of a swing arm mounted stand

[@CafeRacerGarage]

thank you for your ideas mate, im still thinking over this so I haven't started doing anything to it yet, busy working on the scrambler :)

[@robertgrant008]

Can't the kick stand be moved forward just a bit .it may mean that you might have get off the bike each time to put kick stand down.(paused video at 4.43 to look at it and that might be an option) 👍

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Definitely an option, thank you mate

[@nikolasb2933]

Just move the footpeg out further. Where does the original sit compared to new location?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

would need to move 4 inches

[@nikolasb2933]

@@CafeRacerGarageThat's pretty far. Gear lever on my tarozzi's projects almost 3 inches.

[@nikolasb2933]

Had another's look at it. The lever on my stock tarozzi's is not straight but angles out by an inch. The mount plate is also thicker giving another inch clearance from frame. Tarrozzi would make rearsets for that bike. I would have a look at the parts diagram.

[@aronnoahamaro1290]

Would you build a café racer out of a tmx 155?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Yes 100% That would be an awesome project

[@aronnoahamaro1290]

Cafe Racer Garage i would be so glad to watch that series. Im currently watching ur series on ur cx500

[@sparklygames71]

A weird idea but could you put the side stand on the other side of the bike?

[@johnDukemaster]

I saw that on a bike in Sweden once. Works fine, looks weird!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

would still work but then it will be in the way of the brake so I may need to move it forward or something, great idea tho :)

[@jeffp.5080]

Can the top tube be cut from a frame

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Im unsure what you mean ?

[@runcoltrun]

Where did you get these rearsets?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

All custom made mate

[@runcoltrun]

@@CafeRacerGarage Link to the vid? I searched "rearset" on your page and didn't see it. Unless I missed it!

[@floydianfire6918]

heat beat and bend the stand foot out of the way.

[@vibemunster]

I didn't like Bali much, a few nice bikes but the beaches are better in Hong Kong, yep you heard me right ;)

[@kristoffer-robinlotze7273]

I love Hong Kong, the diversity of the city, the countryside but never been to the beaches. Which one (ones) would you recommend? 😀

[@vibemunster]

[@kristoffer-robinlotze7273]

Awesome! Hopefully I'll be in HK in April next year again. 😀 Walk the tunnels at Smugglers ridge, see some more abandoned places and maybe some beaches this time. 😀

[@CafeRacerGarage]

This is my 2nd time in Bali, last time was 8 years ago, Its changed so much, I travel a lot and Bali was a last minute thing for me so I could come to my friends birthday :) Hong Kong is on my list for sure but net year is more of Europe and Iceland again, thank you for the comment mate.

[@vibemunster]

my friend said the same, that was my first visit, doubt I will go back, I fancy Iceland, got a lot of Icelandic sailing buddies who have extended an open invitation As for the stand, maybe move it in, I've noticed on the CB400's its actually mounted inboard of the rail under the engine

[@fezybazarghand8981]

why you not go to kedux garage

[@CafeRacerGarage]

I was going to but did'nt make it that far

[@dmasterson12]

No need to apoligize man, youtube is dumb sometimes and doesnt show videos i subscribe to aswell. Enjoy Bali, those Dues ex machina bikes were really cool. Can you cut the kickstand off the frame and move it forward a few inches?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, Yes this was the only I idea I could come up with but I'm not sure of the balance point

[@dmasterson12]

@@CafeRacerGarage I think the balance should be fine, might be a little off if you're trying to spin the bike around on it, but besides that I think it'll be good

[@brutuzhni]

Make a new part that is sort of S -shape and goes more under the bike.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

This is the kind of out of the box thinking I was waiting for :) thank you my friend
