I just binge-watch this whole series in the past few days. It makes me want to sell my newer bike (2017 vulcan 650s) to build a Cafe. you are doing such an amazing job and have great taste in everything You're deciding to do. Your attention to detail Is much like mine. It is so hard to find people at that same level. Wish I had a friend Like you to build stuff with. Keep up the AMAZING work. Side note...when using your lathe...use really thin pieces of brass strips between the jaws and the part you are turning so you dont leave jaw marks or scratches on you part.
@1son80432 ай бұрын
You don't need to grip tube by putting it inside the chuck you can do it the other way around by closing the chuck slide the material over the outside of the jaws then open the chuck so it grips it from the inside. I've probably not explained it in the best way but the stepped bits on the jaws do all different things, you can fully take them out even and put them back in the other direction to put larger materials in.

A large internal circlip and groove would be a good alternative to the grub screws.
@Fellafoe696 ай бұрын
No it won't because the purpose of the grub screws is to hold the stacks to the carbs.

Mate they are sick as, orders will be come flooding if you put an ad up, love the filter idea, something you don't get from mass produced ones. I wont some now !! It's always good to see the ones that didn't quick go right too, not many others do that, it's one of the many things that sets you apart from others on KZbin, keep on keeping it real Dan.

Your attention to detail really amazes me. I’m not the type of person that will just slap something together just to get it done. Everything has to flow and have a purpose for the design to visually work for me. You are building top notch bikes and parts. Plus, you’re willing to take the extra time to get it right, that’s why I love your channel.

one of the best creative pieces you have made Dan...very impressed. I don't have the equipment or skills but i definitely want to run velocity stacks on my moto guzzi.
@user-wb7jo8ol8t6 ай бұрын
Great Vid buddy, I am also a clown with a lathe. I have also had lathe failures with softer material (PVC and Aluminium). So I have taken to cutting stuff oversize on the bandsaw ( maybe hacksaw ) then just facing the items in the lathe. Keep up the good work.
@garageofpower28916 ай бұрын
If I was you I would stick a manometer on the carbs and see how much flow you are losing with that filter setup, I suspect it's pretty high. I have done (and seen others do similar mods and the flow restriction is pretty grim compared to a pod (which has a much larger surface area) or a velocity stack that has no filtration. Even the pretty open mesh tea strainers have resulted in the need to downjet the carbs in my experience.
@MikeyAntonakakis5 ай бұрын
Yep, exactly this.
@johnDukemaster6 ай бұрын
Clever man! Looks good. Well done! A thought...from a carburettor perspective it's better to place the filters far from the actual carburettor body. The air makes a cone when entering the carb and things like podfilters and such, which are close to that cone, will interfear with that. (Think it's called velocity, but I'm not sure) Making the engine run uneven. Or hesitate on acceleration. Well, just a thought! You know me, I can't help it. I've been there and I just want you to know what I've learned. Cheers!

Cut a piece of stock with the same od, and the ID (slip fit) for when it's in the lathe for thin wall parts. This will keep it from crushing.
@hsmeallie6 ай бұрын
They look great but with those filter won't it restrict air flow with a much smaller surface area to standard
@CafeRacerGarage6 ай бұрын
Maybe a little bit, pod filters a pain in the butt on CV carbs due to the extra flow they provide so the restriction with actually help the carbs I believe
@MikeyAntonakakis5 ай бұрын
Great fab work! But ditch those filters - for one, they’ll only keep pebbles and rocks out, not dirt or sand so you might as well not run them. Also, they significantly reduce the flow area, and placing them at the throat of the carb will only exacerbate that. Use good foam or paper filters of sufficient size or no filter at all.
@crazycaseyscustoms6 ай бұрын
Thank you. Very informative process. You should make sure your foam won’t dissolve in petrol, because carbs do tend to spit a little bit of fuel.

My goodness, Dan. I too, love velocity stacks. And they look sharp AF, along with the cheeky hidden air filter. I'm guessing after the first two attempts, editing nulled any requirement for a language warning. Best vid yet. Stu. Melbourne

@gloryordeath11656 ай бұрын
Hey bud, your problem is trying to grip something so thin walled and soft material like aluminum is even worse, the idea isn't flawed just the execution, next time just turn you a quick little plug to put in the ID of the part so you can chuck on it without it collapsing. It can be made from any scrap, hell even a piece of good solid wood would even work

You would normally use a 6 jaw chuck on thin wall material like that. Absolutely need to use a plug to grip and polished steel will help reduce the galling.

@neophobiagarage18456 ай бұрын
they look really nice, but I am afraid rhe plastic mesh will be shredded over time and will enter into the engine. Moreover they will cause turbulence just before the mixing with the fuel, instead of having a laminar flow which is the entire purpose of the stack......
@CafeRacerGarage6 ай бұрын
For starters, it is Stainless mesh and second of, I don't care about the flow, this is just replacing the annoying pod filters as I mentioned, CV carbs in general are horrible to tune but I've got them to a place I'm happy, I build bikes for fun, not for a race track. Have a great day and thank you for the tips all the same

Yeah maybe reserve some more room between the screens and put a part of the "normal"open filters in between, with the folds in it, would also create less resistance, more airflow.@@CafeRacerGarage

Coarse screen is actually really restrictive. Like shockingly so. When I made stacks for my XS650 I turned the entire profile and on the OD I shaped the end where I could still run a pod filter. Don't know if it made a power difference, but I never found dirt in the intake tract.
