[@Theroadaxe]

I was meandering around KZbin the other day, and ran across your channel. Bike building and fabrication is a special interest to me. I moved from my last house with a 24X48 pole building to this house which has a 2 car garage that won’t hold 2 cars. Very discouraging. But you have more than proven that it can be done. Maybe there are bike builds in my future again. Thanks for your content.

Tank paint looks like it took a bit of a beating! :-)

[@iceniscrambler344]

I just started to watch this channel because I got an old CX500 and I don't know what to do with her, this scrambler build gave me inspiration to make something of her, thanks for your work, much appreciated, By the way those roads look amazing to ride on!!!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

damon hendrix I’m glad it’s getting a new lease on life. It’s very satisfying to make something awesome again after so many years. Good work and I’m glad you are enjoying the videos

[@Mike_Barker]

Man that seat is starting to look super sick!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Mike Barker thank you mate ;)

[@lachlangill382]

I've been wanting to make a new seat from scratch for my little xv250. You make it look so easy but i know i would make a dog's breakfast of it lol

[@Beachmangarage]

That seat is looking great! I actually came across your channel when I was building my own bike lift and looking for design ideas. 28k so deserved. Keep it up man!

[@hesusfin]

Once again, awesome video and the seat is looking stunning! Keep them coming Dan, always nice to watch your vids!

[@bumerpk_3429]

Man, you are very inspiring, thanks to you, I also started my project on remaking YAMAHA XJR 1200 !!! thank you very much!!! I look forward to the following videos !!!

[@bagerfrede]

the seat looks great

[@garyyorke1080]

Seats starting to look great Dan personal choice I'd put a little dip near the middle but hey that's me ..really enjoyed the ride looks great

[@dmasterson12]

Had the same thing happen with that walking dead bike. Saw how cool it was as was like "I can build a bike". Also started watching your videos with the hydraulic lift table videos. Been here since the start

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Yes I've seen you comment on a lot of my videos 👍it's very nice to get them, you would have also noticed a big difference in video quality from back then to now :)

[@dmasterson12]

@@CafeRacerGarage for sure about the quality man and u do a great job on the videos. The editing is always great and the work is inspiring. Still waiting for the sewing machine mods though.

[@MotoMango]

I still don't know which build I'm gonna like more! Both are looking awesome so far!

[@ozbackdropsandprops427]

Another mad video Dan! Can’t wait to buy all your merch when it’s available! Also love TWD, you’ve got great taste!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Oz Backdrops and Props Thank you, yes it’s definitely a good series and it’s just starting to get interesting again, can’t wait till it’s back. If that happened in real life I think I would miss the ability to get Mexican food 😧

[@johnDukemaster]

Dan took a humble rumble on the bike! :-) The seat...I think thinner at the "drivers" bit, makes a support at the back. Walking dead? My son did, and I watched passing the sofa. I only saw some bloke on a chopper/bobber'ish bike. To hold that seat in position...hmm, you have some wiring too since you put the light in the sofa. Could be fun with a belt attached to the bottom of the frame, between the frame and rear mudguard, going over the seat like the arrangement they have on old sportscars over the bonnet! You know, the Bugatti's and such. :-) I will on my build! :-) Oh, it's snowing now! ...no hurries then...

[@53jed]

What you’ve built there looks good. Muscular with broad heavy shoulders, slim at the hips.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Gerard Tyrrell that is a very cool way to put it :) thank you 😊

[@markharkess6946]

Love your videos. I have a 1982 cx500 that I'm going to start building into a scrambler in the spring. I live in Minnesota and it's been -20f here and have to wait for warmer weather.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Mark Harkess that’s awesome, I hope my videos are helping:)

[@adobongcarrots]

Just started watching your videos and I'm enjoying them so much. You sir got a new subscriber. Keep it up!

[@georgegordon7455]

Building a monster Vespa/YZ hybrid and your build helps with the oddest things thanks

[@AttwoodsGarage]

I'm actually most way thru building a table using ideas gleaned from your videos. Really enjoy the channel. Have a 77 KZ650 I'm building over the winter. Keep them coming!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Sounds like a fun project, share some photos on the cafe racer garage FB page if you want

[@ma-diy-skartechannel]

Big fan of your works, and walking dead series too👍 good job for the bikes you are creating!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Jim Jimenez thank you Jim I’m glad you are enjoying them. Loads more coming:)

[@rubenbos9063]

Already looking forward to the upholstery for the seat! Suggestion for the merchandise: something to use while wrenching that you would recommend using? Something that always comes in handy while working on the bike? The mug is cool though!

[@toonie3584]

I really enjoy both of your builds, and i would think double headlight on on of your bikes would look amazing, greeting from Austria!

[@brandonl5247]

I love Norman Reedus bike on the walking dead god its an amazing bike 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@jonborgsmiller7443]

Love the walking dead and have a deep love for Daryl’s bike. I think the seat would be awesome in a diamond knit tan leather/ pleather. Seat shape looks good. Don’t thin it too much for off road use. What if you weld the flap to the hoop then you can run a bolt wing nut though the both with access from the bottom.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Great idea and yes Daryl's bike is awesome. Not sure why he has the one he has now tho. is not as cool i don't think.

[@Gus-cg9yp]

Hi, seat looks great !! I'm working on a cx too but I cut and reshaped the original one and made all the base smaller as I wanted to keep the height of it because I have long legs. It's more or less the size of your seat now. I was thinking that like a tobacco brown with some pattern would look nice. Thanks for the video. Gus

[@jessies5632]

Classic octane turned me to your channel. Great work keep it up

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Jessie S he is awesome and I’m glad you are here:) I hope you are enjoying the videos so far. I post a new one every week

[@lambo2817]

Hi mate, looking good now, here’s an idea, white seat, bar handles and folk cover/boots, or a silver to match the engine ,

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Mannie-P TV thank you mate, so many more videos still to come :)

[@vibemunster]

For the seat mount, simple solution which is common to motocross bikes from the last 100 years is tangs at the side which bolt on the outside just behind the shock mounts, I've used this on my CB 250, easy to remove the seat, I've had many CR 250 mx bikes and a couple of RM 250's, on the whole, all mx bikes use this method, I'll post a pic on your FB page, the 250 is nearly done ;)..

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, Yes a picture is worth 1000 words as they say :)

[@mattrking4578]

I loved it

[@josephconradbaker]

Great video as always, I learnt a lot from Taylor. Man I wish I thought of the grease proof paper template before I finished my seat, great idea.

[@homersimpson2620]

Started off my project the same way looking at daryl dixon's bike. Old Honda's over here in the UK are crazy expensive because everyone's doing the cafe racer projects with them. I wanted something shaft drive really like a BMW but there even more expensive than the Honda's lol. I wanted to do a budget build, no set budget just cheap as possible. Eventually bought an old Kawasaki GTR 1000 for £150. Somewhere along the build I forgot about Daryl Dixon's bike and it's just turning into my own version of some mixture between a cafe race and a scrambler but one that can do long distances in comfort. So the frames been chopped and changed to fit my 6ft4 gorilla frame lol. I'm hoping to get it finished in the next few months and it's looking like it's going to be around a £500 bike build hopefully

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Homer Simpson wow you really managed to keep the budget low on this one well done. Bikes are not that cheap here either. Really need to hunt around to find one. Thanks for the comment and sharing where you are at. It’s such an amazing feeling to know I’m helping you from access the globe :)

Same for me about Daryl's Nighthawk ;) great video as always ;) if i can suggest, you should do the seat more flat, i saw a CX500 with a seat like yours is actually, i don't quite like it. But as always, your bike your taste ;) can't wait next video ! (If you wanna check, the channel is racer tv)

Hey Dan, recently subbed . Here from classic octane. It’s great to find an Aussie doing these builds.are you going to do a polo style shirt in your merch?. I,d be interested. I would have loved to do a build like these but won’t happen for me so I’m living it through you guys. Cheers keep up the awesome work and content.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Michael Taylor i’m glad that you’re enjoying the videos and that’s a really good idea of yours I never thought of that I will add it to my list of Merch If you don’t see it When I launch my website just send me a reminder

[@RandoVidz]

how does the vinyl or leather get attached to the seat?

[@jordandenmark8443]

Wherever that road is in the world, I want to take a bike there.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Its nice isn't it :)

[@mrbusak3]

As is with black vinyl?

[@rulehardgarage9740]

Maybe try to work in some simple hooks in the front with a bolt through design to attach to the seat on the back

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Good idea :)

[@gousa976]

Weld a bracket under the seat? So you can bolt down your seat and fender.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Great idea

[@garya3056]

That’s a great combo vid, Dan... sorry, I never have see that tv show. I did watch all of “Wentworth” though! Booked a bunch of touristy things for our upcoming Oz trip. Thanks for the help on the bike rental agency, Mate. Your bike is looking fantastic. Is the seat hoop shorter on this one? Or maybe it’s the angle... almost looks like the seat could be longer for you- you’re tall. 🏍👍🏍

[@CafeRacerGarage]

You are welcome brother and yes I'm 6'2" so yeah, thank you for the compliment and did you decide if you are going to hire a Bike when you come to OZ ?

i have a question. I have a fuel injected bike and i dont like the tank. what can i do to replace the fuel tank? i understand fuel injected bikes have a fuel pump at the tank.

[@alanconway8821]

I've been looking into seat mounting for my own scrambler project, and I have come up with an idea that I haven't seen on any cafe racers/scramblers before, not sure why because it makes complete sense to me. I'm going to use a seat latch like this one: www.google.com/search?q=kawasaki+ninja+seat+latch&client=ms-android-samsung&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwie1OqS_vzfAhWdUBUIHRdYCHAQ_AUoAXoECAsQAQ&biw=360&bih=560 There is loads of bikes that have this type of latch, it has a cable coming off it, which could easily be swapped for a longer one, and attached to a Choke leaver type thing somewhere hidden under the seat, so you pull the Choke lever and the seat pops off. Simple. You might need to get a latch made up on a lathe or else take it off the seat that the latch comes off

[@HilltopZombieShop]

Early seasons of Walking Dead were great. I quit watching because the writing and pacing became horrible. One season the protagonists are mad dog killers. Next season they're crippled with fear and begging for mercy. Also, it takes an entire episode to finish a single mediocre plot point. (And I have been the Hilltop Zombie Shop since 2002 well before zombies became trendy)
