You can also leave a 1.6mm (tig rod size) gap between the two bevelled tube pieces to ensure full penetration around that tube. AND if you make the inner sleeve, your full penetration weld with the 1.6mm gap will catch that inner piece, too.

I think the panel design looks great

[@CafeRacerGarage]

@@barnstormermedia thanx mate

[@peterdocter4659]

Another good video, great tips, clean work, top notch!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Top-notch haha well said and tank you mate

[@jlnordby11]

Great video. There are so many good tips and pointers in this video. Thank you for sharing!!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, I’m trying something different with my videos so make sure you let me know if you like the new approach or not.

[@jlnordby11]

@@CafeRacerGarage Personally, I really like the chill vibe, straightforward explanation and tips, and the minimalist background music. Perfect for a Sunday morning with coffee and daydreams of being out riding. :-)

Great video Dan, excellent job mate. It's looking good, have a great weekend and take care. Cheers

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate much appreciated

Thanks Brother its all inn the design haha

[@johnauvin]

Very detailed work! Impressive...

[@CafeRacerGarage]

@@johnauvin thank you mate

[@barrybarron3437]

I’ve learned a lot from watching you work Dan and thanks for introducing me to thermoplastic will definitely use it on my next build looks so much easier than fiberglass.. keep up the great work.. cheers!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate I'm glad you are enjoying the videos

[@haropops2918]

amazing work I'm currently doing a k1100 build and you're videos give me a lot of inspiration

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Great bike choice and this is the exact type of comment that keep me making videos 👍

[@p3ggy80]

On balance probably with the infill panel. Looks great Dan.

[@patrickmayfield3066]

That infill looks slick

[@kz6fittycent]

I'm torn on the panel. It would seriously look great either way. Great progress on the bike man!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, me too 😁

[@johnlaw5762]

Leave sub-frame open. Looks great, well done

[@scottdog182]

Another great video Dan. I'm with the open crew but no doubt you will come up with an amazing infill and we will all deny ever suggesting leave it open, and be saying why would anyone say no infill, just look at that infill it is totally awesome and looks the dogs mate. No pressure 😂. Really looking forward to seeing what you do come up with, if anything 😏

[@CafeRacerGarage]

@@scottdog182 thank you mate I just enjoy the building process and if I make it and it doesn’t look good, I can easily remove it :) The upcoming video will show one of the reasons I need to put a cover over this area. It’s more or less making a rather large electric tray under the seat 🤓

[@markp5925]

I want to build a cafe racer now 😍

[@Gus-cg9yp]

Hi Dan, that's looking good. I would go for the side panel for that gap. thanks . Gus

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thanx Gus 👍

[@nicholassnook5204]

With infill panel 👌🏼

[@scottastell9415]

Neat job.

[@diegom3250]

Treasure videos! Thank you! I prefer without panel please😅

[@stuartwood7252]

Welding. My favourite superpower. I do have to ask, though, I was welding a plate back in an antique safe, with 10mm thick walls the other day, and used used some rare earth magnets I use to hold my chuck key and stuff to my pedestal drill, and they lost their magnetism. I probably got them too hot. Is this something you've experienced? Great content as always. And, no infill. 'wanna see that mono shock. Stu. Melbourne

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thanks mate and to answer your question. I do believe that magnets lose their magnetism through heat especially extreme temperatures.

Congratulation on reaching 200 000 Subscribers. Especially impressive since you are not pumping a ton of videos out like others do. Its quality over quantity ! rsm8

[@peter-robinson]

quality information in the videos counts more doesn’t it. such a good channel

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate I truly appreciate the kind words, I do my best to make each video as good as I can with the time I have, it’s extremely rewarding when someone notices 👍😎

[@flmacphee1158]

Fill it in. And paint it purple with black and copper secondary colours

[@billymichels7171]

Another great video Dan, and this one coincides nicely with where I'm at with my own project. Can I ask, as a general rule how much gap do you allow for the upholstery wrapping around the seat base. I'm guessing that this might depend on what I plan to use for the seat covering but have been working to allow 3-4mm. Anyway, keep up the great work.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, and if you are not trying to wrap a stitch line around the area, that will be fine; however, if you are, you might need to add about 5-6mm depends on the upholstery type, the curve etc etc

[@billymichels7171]

Thanks Dan.

[@runfromnuke]

If there's benefit to the panels, absolutely. Otherwise, it might look better without them. Of course...you could make a small tool roll storage between them that avoids the monoshock.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Great point and good ideas 👍

[@EvendimataE]

what kind of metal is used for the sub metal?

[@timwaldram5619]

Nice video. Please could you post a name or a link for the seat fixings?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you and here you go mate :)

[@BlackRecoil]

with the panel

[@RichL_WA]

A single infill centralised between the two? May look a little different if possible?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Cool idea 👍

[@rafidabbas3952]

👍💯

[@namelesschild1113]

You should put a solid steel inside the tube for the 2:25 time 🤣

[@roundrock63]

Infill!!

[@bake162]

Infill, it looks way more professional

[@CafeRacerGarage]

I think so but mainly because I really want to do more metal shaping 😁

[@constantinosschinas4503]

The blatant coffee racer trend has ruined motorcycle design forever. Now all bikes, regardless of category, have stupendous cut rears that serve no purpose at all, in an effort for ALL of them to look like angry DIY mosquitos. Not only they lost any practicallity or design sense while doing so, but they destroyed the very exact thing they were chasing: when all bikes look DIY, DIY has no meaning anymore...

[@LiamJPenn]

God forbid people make art 😂

[@ToughtPolskia]

Stfu. This way a 50 or so year old bike get a completely new life. It’s also very difficult to build them so they’re not as diy as you’d think and not as common as you’d think.

[@aaronmooney9483]

Bro you’re crazy. I’m from a Harley family and I started fixing old Hondas because they are cheap easy to work on and if you know what you’re doing fast and nasty. Your off your cracker if you don’t think them bike are epic fast and they handle well without much. And way stop hating. My Daily is an 1980 CB 650 cafe’d and if something that always started and never leave me stranded the. I guess it’s not practical.

[@aaronmooney9483]

Plus that fabrication is so cold and not easy

[@constantinosschinas4503]

@@aaronmooney9483 Read the comment again. I think you misunderstood 99% of it. I love custom bikes.
