Ducati Monster Cafe Racer Part 15 - Creating a fibreglass headlight fairing prototype & mould plug

#Ducatimonster #caferacer #ducaticaferacer
The penultimate part to craft for the Ducati Monster Cafe Racer build 'GHOST' before we can strip the frame down for powdercoating, is the headlight fairing. Using the clay shape we created in the last episode we can now make a fibreglass prototype. Thanks to EasyComposites

Nice work! One thing I learned was to use florist foam for shaping the plug. So much easier than sanding bondo into complex shapes.

[@odongojr9342]

This is going to look sick once it's done. Keeping it here till the build is completed

[@forthebold]

Thanks, once the colour goes on the frame and the engine I'll be happier

[@keno624]

I love this proyect, awesome, im so exited to see it finish.

[@forthebold]

Me too!

[@carltonolson6813]

Looking awesome👍.... Went back and watch your BMW design video...and 1 year later here we go. Exciting😁

[@forthebold]

Everyone keeps seeing a BMW, I have no idea where they saw that :)

[@rcpmac]

For The Bold per the original poster 8:40

[@christopherastbury6644]

That's s perfect headlight fairing, how about some comments running while you're working. It gives us beginners a better understanding. From Northumberland to Wrexhamshire with love

[@forthebold]

Thanks, glad you like it, I think I've done comments on earlier videos so didn't want to repeat myself on these.

[@danadler8996]

Looking good, can’t wait for the strip down to start!

[@forthebold]

Thanks. Fairing video will be this Friday. Then it’s all go.

[@geoffreyjones2000]

I rode all night til 5AM to return to your video... perfect, sir

[@forthebold]

Amazing, glad you enjoyed it and it was a good end to your riding.

[@jaydrathsinhpuwar]

I was always into cars but after watching your and @JISH 'S video now I'm into bikes too

[@forthebold]

That's great to hear, I'm sure Jish will also agree that if we can inspire others then we've done our job

[@leovdvelden8428]

Lookin' good! All energy and time invested pays off!

[@forthebold]

Thank you

[@mohammedmidlaj4623]

Awesome work. 👍👍👌

[@forthebold]

Thanks.

[@nathanchalecki4842]

5 minutes in. With the black housing on the bike it reminds me of black panther lol

[@xTHATSFIVEx]

Ohhhh man! Can’t wait for the engine painting. Helluva job on the headlight!

[@forthebold]

Thanks, it's going to be the part where it starts to look respectable again

[@COL321]

Looking good! All that sanding/filling/primer/repeat on the fairing plug... I was feeling all the hard work, I've just been doing the exact same process on my guitar ready for a respray. You've got great attention to detail!

[@forthebold]

Indeed, as I was editing it last night I thought I'd drop about 3 repeats out of the final video, but as you know everytime you'l find a new blemish that needs sorting. Hope the guitar is coming on well

[@ShivajiRavula]

Daily checking your page for new videos 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 please upload many videos

[@forthebold]

Can't upload any faster than this I'm afraid, from working on the bike, filming, then editing, all takes time

[@kilangroti]

Can't wait to see final product. Cheers!

[@forthebold]

Me too

[@steven8-stones719]

Looking goooood🙌🙌

8:40 wait, i might missed an episode... this gorgeous red BMW, since how long does it seat in your garage ??

[@forthebold]

No episode missed, just haven't spoken about it yet.

Thanks for watching

[@carlosthejackal7847]

Another great video finished bike will look awesome

[@forthebold]

Thanks, I hope it will

[@awood12345]

Great episode as always. I've recently (about a week) started designing small 3D parts for my bikes like brackets, mounts etc.. It is proving very useful, something like this headlight fairing is an ideal candidate for 3D design and it might make your life easier on other parts. Fusion 360 is surprisingly easy to learn for basic modelling, I think you would get on with it really well.

[@forthebold]

Thanks, surprisingly enough my background does involve 3d work back to the days of Carrara 3d and even Maya (this goes back about 15 years!. The challenge I have is I can't decide on the shape until I see it in real life and feel it. Have you ever tried blender, nowadays it's so easy

[@awood12345]

@@forthebold I used Maya many years ago at University but hadn't touched anything 3D for 10+ years. I've not touched blender but I've heard it is good, one 3D software is enough at the moment, lol.

[@Crawlerking12]

Beautiful BMW in the back, can't wait to see what you have in mind!

[@forthebold]

Thanks. There’s a video on this channel on what I’d do to a k100

[@markgudgeon3565]

Another great episode. Been following you for a while since your CB750 build as that's what I had at the time. I know fabrication is something you really like doing as I do but I can't weld (yet). As a thought for a future subject your advise on what welder to go for - it's bewildering - MIG, TIG, Arc, gas, no gas, output etc. Maybe a follow up on some basic welding techniques for bike builds would be fab. I know there's training stuff out there but your take on it would be useful. Apologies if you've covered this somewhere and I've missed it.

[@forthebold]

Thanks. Glad you enjoy the channel. Unfortunately my welding skill isn’t anything to put up on KZbin, but there are good channels out there with it all

[@markgudgeon3565]

Any advice on a bit of welding kit?

[@forthebold]

All depends on what you want to weld / achieve. And my knowledge is so limited on welding I may give the wrong advice.

[@serenosouthkid13]

Absolutely addicted to your projects!! Keep up the amazing work and I love my cafe racer T-shirt I got from your merch!!

[@forthebold]

Awesome! Thank you so much for the support with the T shirt, if you get a chance and on instagram feel free to tag it and I can put your photos up in the support section of the website

[@kashyapbc]

Nice ...love your videos....if you are planning to do this kind of work more you should get yourself a 3D printer...

[@forthebold]

Already have one 👍🏻

[@kashyapbc]

@@forthebold awesome..then I ll be looking forward to see videos you using it..

[@joshgautron3027]

You can finally get a sense of what its going to look like once its done 😍

[@forthebold]

Every step is a little closer, next week once the main fairing is 100% and primed it'll be a good idea of the shape, then the fun bit starts.

[@scottfrench2848]

What! When did you get a K100. I love the flying bricks as a cafe. Please tell me this comes soon too.

[@forthebold]

Just seemed to appear there one morning when I went in

[@scottfrench2848]

For The Bold well if it’s in the way I wouldn’t mind moving it for you. You look a bit cramped 😉

[@Shinysideup]

Awesome stuff, you need a bigger garage lol

[@forthebold]

Definitely, it may happen, even if it's somewhere to store bikes that aren't being worked on

[@ianshreddernelson3184]

Out of interest what are you going to do when UK fuel changes next year? I'm very concerned about my old bikes

[@forthebold]

I'm not worried about how they'll run, what you might have to watch out is how it might eat away and perish old rubbers, but that's an easy fix. If it ignites on spark, that's all I care about.

[@ianshreddernelson3184]

@@forthebold well I for one would be interested in more info about how to keep our old bikes not perishing. All of us with these bikes need to know so maybe a short video please lol. Is it just the fuel lines or are we talking all the carbs needing work etc etc....cheers

[@2wheelzarebetter]

dolphin glaze?

[@forthebold]

doesn't ring a bell

[@boring_owen]

BMW...🧐

[@forthebold]

Where?

[@mickleblade]

The pointy bits on the top of the fairing could be turned into devil's horns... Bit corny though

[@forthebold]

Hopefully once the screen is in the slot they'll blend into the rest fo the bodywork

[@Intesanoga]

10:19 Dont know if its an inside joke or something, but maybe the word you are searching for is spray filler?

[@forthebold]

No it’s got an actual name where it’s a polyester coating which dries to be a mirror finish for a plug.
