Thanx mate you just made my day! I’m glad you are enjoying the content thus far, plenty more to come so stay tuned.

[@chrisscoleri2341]

If you coat your threads with spatter gel prior to welding, they will stay clean and the bolt will come right out. No worries about cleaning things up later. Super cool tip, I like it.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

I will definitely give this a shot :)

[@joshuacaylor881]

😂 saw the exhaust cutoff ring roll under the tool box and had deja vu

[@waynec369]

No, the reason the fasteners you were using seize is the fact they are galvanized/zinc plated. The zinc melts at a much lower temp than steel, thus basically soldering (not soddering) the bolt inside the nut. If you don't have plain steel hardware, you can give the galvanized/zinc plated fasteners a dunk in some muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) to get rid of the zinc. When the fizz stops, the fastener has been stripped. The zinc also causes weld porosity. So, there's another really cool tip you can use.

[@billmcgarry3300]

Hey thanks for that Great tutorial Tip! I bought a 1981 Yamaha 920RH (Canadian version :) back in ‘81. It still runs Great (Xv1000 starter, mikuni carbs, 2 into 1 Mac pipes, optical ignition, oil cooler and original Hannigan Super Sport fairing. Been up and down both coasts of North America. Still stronger than a new Triumph…she is a keeper 😎

[@RobertSmith-bh5cv]

Fantastic job. The finished brackets and clamps with the headlight mounted look great.

[@edwinisunza1034]

Great idea! I’m finishing a xv750 and this is exactly what i was looking for!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Glad I could help!

[@timmyc7898]

Hi. I thought at first, this is going to look really homemade. But like the title of the video says they do look amazing. Thx!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate and with a bit of paint you would never know they were homemade.

[@vinnybarbara7097]

Thank you so much, that is a simple idea that i would have never thought of, and i am about to use.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Iowa599]

I think that mild steel ring will ruin the looks of that bike… Why not cut the pipe into a band at that weld, instead of filing it smooth? I like the trick, I might try it, but I just find it easier to bend straps out of flat bar stock, usually aluminum.

[@secondchancegarage]

Both of your recent videos have shown us how to do things on Curt's Sportster build. We need brass bolts but can't find any. And he wants to relocate the gauge to the side of the frame, but we don't like the available options for sale, so we're going to make mounts like this video. Thank you!

[@ColinWatters]

What you looking for? Accu in the UK have some fully threaded metric brass bolts. Even some on Amazon UK.

[@secondchancegarage]

@@ColinWatters We're looking to mount the speedometer on the left down tube with the indicator lights against the tube instead of under the speedo.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

That’s awesome brother, I’m so happy I’m able to help you

[@gourishgaming]

Good job sir it was very helpful for me will try it out for my bike

[@ScottyRockz253]

That headlight bracket is brilliant!!! Nice work, and thanks for sharing! Cheers!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Wow dude, you've given some inspiration to go build something for my bike. Thanks for the video.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

That’s what I love to hear comments like that inspire me to make more stuff

[@randallrun]

Where was the shop press info you were going to have at the end of the video? Nice job on the clamps, I’ll use that trick for sure.

Great video and idea, a few months too late for me but tho :( i struggled to find a bracket for my r1 forks as the dimensions are all over the place haha

[@rizkyalifpratama291]

I love you bro❤👍🏻

[@abdulnasir2802]

Good job bro

[@hodaka1000]

Is it made from stainless steel ? It would it need painted if it's steel

[@snowflakemelter1172]

Put a hose clip on the tube and mark out the cut

[@CafeRacerGarage]

That’s also a great idea if you have the right size hose clamps big enough to go around the tube?

[@Gus-cg9yp]

Hi, nice tips thanks a lot . Gus

[@tomb816]

Don't waste your time cleaning the interior seam weld. Just index it so that's the piece you cut out, to make it a clamp. Also, coat your through bolt with hi-temp anti-seize, before welding, and you won't have issues removing it post-weld.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Hey mate, I’m not in Tiley sure if I understand the first part about indexing, however I feel a small part like this using anti-seize may contaminate the weld whilst you’re trying to weld it if you know what I mean. It’s a great tip though, and I’ll definitely give it a shot.

[@tomb816]

@@CafeRacerGarage You ground the internal weld seam, so it wouldn't cause an issue. However, you later cut a portion of the tube/pipe so that it may facilitate a clamping force. Just make sure the weld seam is between the two nuts, before welding, and it'd be the part you cut out. So, no need to bother filing or sanding the weld seam away. The anti-seize shouldn't contaminate, so long as you don't get it into the weld.

[@m.b.82]

I was thinking that about the seam too

[@EMNM22]

👍 I just subd! Can you put some bicycle pedals on it for footpegs? I think it'll look cool! 🤘😁

Really nice video Bro. What thickness steel do you recommend for those headlight brackets you made at the end?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you, 3-4mm alloy or 2mm mild steel or stainless is totally fine mate
