Love this, with these added tools definitely feels like you are turning the corner from master modifier to master builder. Custom bikes can be a loose term, but when you are making all of the pieces - definitely going to be one of a kind. Love it Dan - keep learning and keep sharing it with us!!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, yes you are right and Im glad you are learning as so am I haha. all the time. :)

[@CNile-se9xw]

I always learn heaps from your vids & am in awe of your mastery of the tools that you have on hand. My advice for you, though, is to start seriously planning your workshop expansion because suppliers will be shipping their wares to your door. 170K subscribers now & it won't be long before you crack the Million. 👍

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, i love knowing im teaching you some cool new tricks to use yourself

[@secondchancegarage]

I can't wait to get some metal working tools in our shop! Watching all this on YT gets me hyped. Japhands/Make It Custom has a lot of great videos.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Yes he is a cool guy and a great channel

[@iceniscrambler344]

Definitely headlight n°2, for the scrambler look, that'll probably end up looking like a Harley Davidson pan america cross with a flat tracker/dirt quake. Keep at it, I'm getting loads of ideas watching your videos 👍

[@rsbharley4766]

Excellent video Dan, job well done mate. That masterclass looks so cool, looks like you learn lots. Looking forward to the tank build, ride safe and take care. Cheers

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, yep the tank should be a fun learning experience

[@scottdog182]

Thinking 2 would look awesome Dan. Power up, new skills set added!! Can't wait to see the tank build Dan.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate :)

[@lukeofearth1036]

That is the perfect fit. It would be awesome to find a light small enough to put completely behind the plate and only shine through the spots you have marked out.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you, I've been trying to find the perfect light

[@chamelarrogante351]

Where'd you been man? Hehe..glad to see new videos from your channel..

[@CafeRacerGarage]

I’m always posting new videos and I’m also very active on Instagram

[@bradsoole]

These are hard to build and make look good. But that looks rad mate.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate I appreciate your kind words

[@matthewsuter2346]

I liked your video, and I know you mentioned taking a metal shaping class in Australia. You are putting stress into the aluminum when you shaping it, I suggest annealing the aluminum to reduce the stress but it will take longer than what you said in the video

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thanks for the info!

[@roundrock63]

Another great video. Wish you did more. #2 on the headlight.

[@neilmonk1332]

These videos are great. Currently building a bike & I'm learning so much from you. Keep 'em coming👍🏻

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thanks mate, that's awesome :)

[@bjornscheibler1899]

What about using magnets for your mounting solutions?

[@davidt9841]

I think number 1 is better than number 2 - let’s see the finished result. Nice Work!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate

[@billhensel5076]

In my opinion, I'd use the second set lights but make a slight change. I'd have the lights positioned horizontal, and instead of 2 lights the same size, I'd use a smaller one on the bottom and centered.

[@tarouyamada2686]

That plate looks sleek! The vertical stack is very common on streetfighter builds, should be interesting to see it fit the cafe racer more classic aesthetic. The Hella FF-75 picture is kinda misleading, it has some depth (10cm or so, it's not that compact). Are you familiar with Highsider? Along with some round and oval headlights, they do have some in small form factor that can be run in stacks too, it's just a tad pricey 🥲

[@rustycopperpot]

Did you have to anneal the ally at all? Years ago back when I was at college we did some ally forming work. Nothing fancy, just a bowl with a swaged lip formed with a bossing mallet and sandbag. Anyway, as we were working the ally it would work harden and not take form very well so we'd have to anneal it with the oxy acetylene torch to soften it up again so we could carry on shaping it. Have you needed to do this?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

I didn’t actually worry about it for something like this because there’s not too much shape going in it but if you were going to do more elaborate shapes, I would probably recommend it

[@Gus-cg9yp]

Hi, lovely job. A lot of work on that. That shop is amazing, like been a kid in a toy shop lol thaks . Gus

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thanx mate. Yes Hare & Forbes are incredible stores

[@greghovanessian7577]

Headlight #2! Where is the link for #2?

[@karanmora1339]

No.1 is good really, I have suggestion, the headlight bracket in that picture not looks good, I hope you gonna build something else for it, here we use those headlights for Honda Rebel CM300 and 500, that looks really beast … ❤❤❤❤ great video

[@laurentlavie9136]

Great work as usual ! Bravo Dan !

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate

[@wuttmodel3232]

Verry good

[@BOBBER400]

I like number 1 but think they may look a bit small for the cover. Nice work m8 : )

[@kz6fittycent]

Reminds me of the Buell XB9SX headlight plate.

[@vinnybarbara7097]

Hi Dan, great job on the Headlight plate, i like number 1 headlights better.

[@andrewrogan9194]

Great vid mate. Keen to do that course. Did you buy that welding table or make it ?. Cheers

[@puran9087]

You should try ola s1 scooter headlight for a cafe racer

[@michaelfairleigh3587]

I’d like to see number 1, idea please

[@slav3010]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@remfanuk1970]

number 1 Dan

[@personalaccount342]

a better video, good to see, some finer detail would be awesome, you may not be a qualified or professional, but we would all love to know some of the techniques.

[@mattcc6603]

"Your wife shouldn't hate me for too long." Wife has already bagsed first go with any English wheel to reshape some bits of mine. Same goes for the Power hammer, should it suddenly appear in my shed!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Haha 😂 nice one, you chose well when it came to a partner 😁 I need one of those myself
