Great build. I must say it's giving me a lot of inspiration for my channel. Keep pushing great content dude

[@carltonolson6813]

Its Awesome when you get to see the stance and design come together👍

[@forthebold]

Sure is coming together and looking a whole load better with the bars

[@luddite6239]

With the choke cable, the early Monster had the pull-button mounted on the left-side frame rail under the tank by the carbs, so you could try that. A neater solution would be to use the later Monster choke, which was a thumb lever mounted on the left bar. Have a look on the Stein-Dinse website at their parts diagrams. The part you want is 65540031A and can be had for around £25.

[@piratephill6693]

Good work. Coming along nicely.

[@forthebold]

Thanks, slowly but sure is

[@jasonwright9555]

I did this to my 2001 M600 a long long time ago. I found that having the clip-ons underneath the top yoke was too uncomfortable, so I just moved the top yoke down slightly and fitted the clip-ons above it. It still looked great and was more comfortable. Nice work and a cool channel. Thanks for the content.

[@forthebold]

Thanks for watching :)

[@bobdobbs7378]

Looking good just putting my monster back together completely stripped the front end down head stock bearings shot to bits the last time they seen grease John Travolta was in it . It’s the same model and year as yours first time I’ve had a Ducati and enjoying working on it very simple to work on . Keep up the good work

[@forthebold]

Best of luck with it.

[@jishh]

I’ve the same clipons for the XJ! Good choice sir ⚡️

[@forthebold]

Looking forward to seeing your bike assembled Jish :)

[@fiorellogalluzzo7282]

I've got the same for my CB

[@IchibanMoto]

I'm too old for clipons but it sure looks badass Ant! Looking forward to the sculpting of the new fairing

[@forthebold]

Me too, a test of skill for sure, ha, p.s. just took a photo of something I picked up today. Thank you :)

[@luddite6239]

Those clip-ons are giving the bike a really aggressive look and work well with your proto-tank shape. Looking forward to seeing the finished article! With the choke cable, the early Monster had the pull-button mounted on the left-side frame rail under the tank by the carbs, so you could try that. A neater solution would be to use the later Monster choke, which was a thumb lever mounted on the left bar. Have a look on the Stein-Dinse website at their parts diagrams. The part you want is 65540031A and can be had for around £25.

[@forthebold]

Thumbs up. Let's see how it goes

[@hman8942]

That stance 👌

[@forthebold]

Glad you like it

[@builtbythehand3902]

Sits lovely!

[@forthebold]

Thanks :) How's yours?

[@builtbythehand3902]

@@forthebold very nearly there, seat to finish, dial in the carbs a little more, give everything a final bleed, few little things for the mot. Been a little slack this last month but have a few days off for Xmas so I'm hoping to get most of it done before I go back to work.

[@streetsquiid5615]

I just fitted these clip ons, they sure are pretty snug but what concerns me is, now there are no stopper pins. (a bolt or pin to lock the clip ons in a position) Won't the constant weight we put on these clip ons while accelerating and decelerating loosen them over time and lead to a catastrophic failure during a sudden deceleration someday?

[@7antonio9]

Does the triple falling into place or do you need to messure the exact height?

[@johncarlson8029]

I have always found it easier to remove the bars then take the gear and just slide it off. It's just faster for me. I'm a Honda guy but have interest in this projects out come.

[@SirCptAwesome]

Oooh 80's VFR engine... excited to see what you do with that.

[@forthebold]

Probably not what Honda ever imagined their VFR engine to be in.

[@SirCptAwesome]

@@forthebold awesome! I love my 86. Fantastic engine.

[@lcrgarage3245]

Much much better 👍🏻

[@forthebold]

Thanks

[@jansakowski9419]

Where do you get the new handelbars from? Love this Project

[@forthebold]

Try Dime City Cycles

[@klok514]

Brake and clutch master cylinder from ebay are they good ? Did you have to change the brake and clutch line ? Thx

[@forthebold]

I'm replacing them anyway as they're about 25 years old now.

[@will_hyde]

I know you've already made your tank, but Redmax SpeedShop make an excellent tank that sits over the top of the frame. They make the GT1000 and sport classic tank that fit!

[@forthebold]

I’ve seen a few builds with this tank on but I wanted something original and not off the shelf. Plus this tank is going to be carbon fibre and visible.

[@will_hyde]

@@forthebold oh sweet, I just thought I'd mention it incase you didn't know it was out there!

[@conormulligan7966]

What are some good 125cc bike to build as a cafe racer? Its the biggest engine i can ride until im 19 (live in ireland so being 17 my max is 125)

[@forthebold]

I would say a cb would do.

[@sanjaynikum1441]

Can I get that white and red color bike I loved it . I'm a very big fan of cafe racers but I don't have any bike like that . That looks so amazing. I hope I will buy it ❤️

[@forthebold]

It’s not for sale.

[@sanjaynikum1441]

Yea sir I respect that. No body would sell it ❤️💪🏻

[@MelbourneMeMe]

Did you crash the warrior in the background?

[@forthebold]

No, why?

[@barrettgarcia8594]

Is there any way you could contact me? I have some questions about my cb750

[@forthebold]

Only on KZbin sorry

[@NeckarPirate]

You're a talented dude. I would never feel comfortable modifying a Ducati. Good luck on this latest project.

[@forthebold]

All in small steps and any project is easy to tackle. 👍🏻

[@SHADABALAM-oz8lp]

😎✌

[@forthebold]

Thanks

[@andreadestefano2944]

where is your shop?

[@forthebold]

I never tell anyone.

[@jonclark2234]

Doesn’t look like you’d even fit in your garage if you had too big a breakfast haha. That’s a cramped space! Nice work as usual though

[@forthebold]

If I break wind it'll be a domino effect of falling bikes

[@jonclark2234]

For The Bold exactly! A 99p breakfast burrito would end up as a couple thousand pounds in repairs haha

[@marcuslarosa2587]

Am i the Only One that noticed some MK1 Audi TT Pieces on the back of the garage? Hahahhaha can you confirm?

[@forthebold]

Yeah that’s an old cylinder head I took off that had valve damage.

[@MrFilgri]

u make it looks so simple to do... but ITS NOT!!! lol But i think i get THE secret... it calls METHOD!!! Congrats for this one too ;)

[@forthebold]

Just patience and one step at a time

[@r56mini]

Get together with someone with a Trident 660 and convert it into a cafe racer please.

[@forthebold]

Would be nice

[@geoffreyjones2000]

I'm not getting notified sir... this video just popped up 3 weeks late

[@forthebold]

hit that bell icon I think for instant notification

[@sanitvr]

man, please share your music playlist :)

[@forthebold]

From Epidemic Sounds, paid subscription

[@randomtraveler3363]

your not in Florida any more.

[@forthebold]

Sure not

[@nicolaineesgaard6677]

Too much of a V shape looking from the side. Don’t think it looks right. Otherwise great project

[@forthebold]

Due to the nature of the monster frame I didn't want to go with the run of the mill straight line with a void underneath but more of an aggressive look, the fairing will compliment it and allow the frame to stand out more

[@lalajoker_6962]

Without the loud music please

[@forthebold]

Just turn the volume down a little 😉

[@vitocriville]

Poor Ducati...🤷🏻‍♂️

[@forthebold]

Not really. Especially when it’s done.
