Awesome, thanks for putting this together for us noobs đ. After it's all said and done for you, any other suggestions in regards to the hump or seat? Great channel btw. Greetings from SoCal đ€
love the idea of that challenge "1200 dollar budget cafe racer"
Thank you for your comment and yes I'm looking forward to It, the response to do this build is overwhelming :)
Low budget Scrambler would be awesome!
Wow dude, I can't believe the number of comments I have had On this video about the scrambler build, Thank you for your vote and comment :)
+1 on the Scrambler build and congrats on the fiberglass work. Subcribed. Awesome!!!
YES! Do the CX 500 build. Please!
Its looking positive thus far :) Thank you for your comment :)
A challenge video would be awesome !
Thank you Brody, I think you are right :) I'm hoping it does get a lot of interest so I get to build it :)
I have a fiberglass shop and I got a few tips from your video. It is always good to see how others go about the process.
Id love and tips brother, I'm always learning and I will never stop :) Im all ears :)
YES!!!!! To the tracker build! đđđ
great idea with finding the equivalent items so folks can do this job with a quick shopping trip.
Low budget challenge is a GREAT idea!
Great work. Love how you made that poly saddlepan!
Thank you my bike building brother :)
Yay to the scrambler
The best episode so far! can't wait to see the final product of the hump! Cheers mate!
thank you so much, ma man that means a lot to me :)
Fantastic job. Looks great
yeay for your the budget scrambler.
Marshall Marque itâs starting very soon :) thank you for your comment
Yes to the challenge. Sounds good.
Ok thank you for the vote, It's looking like a positive thus far :)
my favorite video so far. really good work! would love to see a series of the cx build
Do the scrambler build. That would be some great content.
Ok Calvin its looking like a positive so far :)
very informative as always. KNOWLEDGES GAIN!!!
Thank you T Phas, You always say such nice comments :)
Nice job.
Looking great mate. Canât wait for part 3 đ
Josh Panton thank you Josh ;)
This is an amazing video Iâm using this to make a carbon fiber cowl for my XSR900 anniversary. I have a second subframe so I think Iâll make a chipped down cafe tail for it as well!
Yeeeee... go for it. Nice job
Thank you mate :)
Do IT ! Low budget Scrambler !
ya it sounds cool
Great job!
Thank you Tom, I may need to add your handy work to this build as well :) wish you had a business or something for me to shout out. Hows the logo designing going?
A Scrambler would be sick! These videos are awesome. You and Combustion Junction have inspired me to play around with my GS 1100 once it is registered. Keep up the good work.
Mick, Port Macquarie
Yes. Go cx. Also, nice job with the fiberglass.
Love your work, and it would be great to see the CX build!
A Scrambler to travel all the Baja.
Irak Marin thatâs a big adventure lol đ
Love to see the CX project, mostly just because they've been done to death as a cafe racer and I'm itching to see something different. A tracker would be an awesome project.
Matthew Wright thank you Matthew :)
Great vid, what a process. Sub'd đđŒ
YES for challenge video
Coming along nicely mate
Can't work out why I missed this comment, Thank you Andy, I really enjoy your videos too :)
Yea! Scramble that CX!
Thank you for the comment and vote Psycrow :)
Yay on low budget scrambler
Looks great! You have a talent for thinking outside the box. +1 for the CX
Vote excepted and thank you so much. Its amazing to get comments like this.
Love the videos, keep them coming. Interested in more builds in the future too
Hi Travis I have plenty to come and I aim to improve my video quality as much as posable, so stay tuned and thank you for the amazing comments :) its the comments that really keep me going :)
Yes please. Great idea. Looking forward to view your build before I start mine..
78 CX500, bought with rear frame chopped by previous owner.
Kevin Martin thanks Kevin I have a stock 78 CX500 as well, itâs going to get the Cafe Racer Chop :) you will see it in tomorrowâs video :)
Yes I'd be keen to see you change your CX500 into a Tracker / scrambler for sure!
Ian Anderson thank you Ian itâs looking good thus far and loads of interest in this build:)
Nice video, another method is to make your foam model, go to a fablab, 3d scan it and 3d print it.
JM what the heck! that is awesome. đ I donât know much about 3d stuff but I do know a guy that could help me with that :)
Cafe Racer Garage: yes indeed you should look into it. I did mine with a fablab (a free place full of technology like 3d printer and 3d lasers): 3d scan your model (or take a few pictures + fusion software, free). and then you can 3D print a plastic base (or 3D laser cut 3mm wood parts for the base) & 3D laser cut polyurethane (hard plastic foam like yoga mat) to make the hump. Cheers ;)
Im probably going to follow this process when i build my seat hump
gianluca spinosa any questions just ask :)
Do the CX! The CX650C is my favorite model. I have four, one being a parts bike. The first one I did as a solo seat tail dragger done in OD green with red wheels and white wall tires. Basically, a WWI bi-plane color scheme...complete with bullet hole decals. Get compliments on it all the time. They are just great bikes. I'm doing a CX500 right now, but it's being built for a friend. I would really enjoy seeing how you would redo the CX500!
Great job! Good instructional video. Keep it up đ
Thank you so much mate, I love to know I'm helping, any questions just ask
Yeah...big time. I just bought a CB 400F that I will have to make pretty as well!!! :)
zimba599 sounds good, thank you for the comment, itâs looking like a yes, Iâve been flooded with comments about doing it :)
Yes thank you, to the CX500 build!
Bogi JĂłnsson thank you Bogi I appreciate you letting me know. Itâs looking good so far :)
Yay !
Thank you for your vote Bintang :)
Tracker/scrambler project would be awesome.
Thank you mate I'm up to 15 yay comments so far so that is cool
Really great video! I wonder how difficult would it be to shape a front fairing using the same method... Also hell yeah everyone would be interested in another build! Especially if it's a low budget build that makes you think more outside of the box.
Thank you Allcartuner I think any shape is posable with fibreglass, I think is going to be a positive on the scrambler tracker build so far :)
Awesome work once again Dan. I think the scrambler tracker project would be great đđđ keep making the videos mate and I will keep watching
Thank you Colin I plan on making better videos over time so not only will I build bikes but I plan on being the best at what I do :) Tracker Scrambler looks like it maybe a yes.
I'm all for budget builds, make the CX dream live!
Justin Brown thank you Justin I hear you and thank you for your vote towards the next possible build :)
Great vid buddy and yes to the cx500 đđ»
Leith thank you neighbour đ
Definitely on the cx challenge.
Brice Loyd thank you Brice, itâs looking good so far, Iâm so overwhelmed by the amount of positive comments on doing this cx build đ
Just build the cx mate! Loving the build everyday! Your doing better that a lot of pros! Hats off đ đ đ đ
Nuno Cox thank you so much mate ;)
Iâm just doing my thing and sharing it.
Love the comments :)
I would love to see that scrambler build!!!!
Wayne Martinez thank you for letting me know, itâs looking like a positive so far
Another great video man, enjoying your build! Can't wait to get mine looking like a bike again!
Built By The Hand thank you mate, yes I know that feeling but building them is half the fun right :)
Cafe Racer Garage so true, already have ideas for the next one.
Yes I want to see that
Top Job mate !! Really impressive, well done..
Paul Mcgeown thank you Paul, comments like this make the sharing process worth it so I thank you more for taking the time to let me know you are enjoying them and getting something from them :)
The cx should easily be able to make tracker or scrambler out of. the real deciding factor is where you buy parts, what brand you buy and how much work you do yourself vs. buying bits. I would really like to see this type of video since I am currently building a mild tracker/brat 1982 CX500 C.
Great video as per usual. I would love to see a scrambler build, youâve definitely got the skills to do so and if you do Iâd recommend adding the price up each episode. Keep up the good workđđœ
Charlie Power great idea and thank you đ for the comment Charlie.
yay!
Thank you mate, stay tuned but Its looking good so far
Your so amazing dude..
Thank you mate, I hope you got something from the video :)
Build it!
Thank you Bryan :)
In my head I'm saying compressed air mate........ Nek minut. Great job !!!!!
Paul Bull haha thatâs funny, yeah it worked very well I was surprised đź
Thanx for the comment
Scrambler!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Peter, thank you for the comment and vote :) how are your boys doing?
Cafe Racer Garage all good man. Work and baseball has us bogged down. We are going to watch your new video together tonight. Keep it up. Love them!!!
Peter Kowalinski thank you Peter for your support and comments ;) means a lot
Letâs see the scrambler build!
Hi Luke Thank you for your comment and vote, Its looking positive so far :)
You've got loads of talent mate well done on your build so far, A CX scrambler build would be amazing đ
Henley Higgins thank you so much you are very kind đ itâs the comments like this that keep me going. Thanks for the vote on the Sctambler build, Iâm hunting for some cheap parts at the moment for it :)
You could use some acetone to melt away the foam plug from the fibreglass body
That sounds like an interesting challenge. As I seem to have fallen into a financial spiral with my current project.
Build the scrambler!
Hey great project, and A1 vid, i have subscribed! Here is a thought. Why not turn the engine around 90° in the frame so it becomes slimmer and can then also convert direct to chain drive đ€
I,d watch a series on a $1200 or close rebuild thanks mate.
An official YAY vote for the $1200 CX build.
Thank you Scott :)
Nice work mate! :-) A friend of mine made a hump out of an old helmet. Out with the interiour and cut it into shape. Nice idea!
Of course we would like to see you make another bike! If you feel about those wheels on the cx as I do, they have to go. But no worries, keep the hubs! Yes, those "spokes" are bolted on. So instead of those ugly stamped pieces of sheet you make 2 rings that fit on the hub. On the outer fringe of that ring you make holes for proper wire spokes and a rim to fit! Works fine! Makes sense? :-)
Great video and thank you!
Do you need to apply a layer of wax to the mold before applying the gel for final product? I donât see that on your video and looks like you applying the gel without any wax or easy remover layer? Also you using a blue/ greenish liquid (10:46) after you sing gel? Whatâs that? Thanks again
Same question here
Nice work, be good to see the cx scrambler build đđ»
Ryan Mills thank you for letting me know Ryan. Stay posted:)
Would love to see the video of a scrambler build! Looking forward to seeing it
Olie Burton thank you mate, so far I think I may take on the scrambler/ tracker build challenge, looks good :)
Cafe Racer Garage Nice! It would be good to see. $1200 budget doesnât seem like a lot. How much do you think your up too on your bike at the moment? Iâm half way though a xs650 build and have spent easily 2K GBP. I have got with a M-Unit Blue and some other fancy bits that really added up.
Olie Burton I really donât know how much the 750 has cost me but I have kept all receipts to add up at the end. $1200 is a low budget and I guess it will be a massive challenge. :) xs650 would be fun to work on, what style you going for?
Hey man. Would love you see you building a tracker out of the CX! Love the vid's.
Mark Chaloner thank you Mark, I will do a little more research but itâs looking good so far :)
Great process you took us through so far in this, Dan ... and Iâd be in favor of the build as well. Would be a great additional learning process for me personally. Cheers. Getting cooler there yet?
thank you Gary, Yeah is not too cold just yet but its coming, I always look forward to your comments on me videos :)
I dont think you have missed one yet lol ;)
Cafe Racer Garage - I am just an eager, slow-learner here, Dan! đđđ
In the states we call it a Dirtbag challenge, But where you buy the bike and build it for under 1000 dollars and take it on a hundred mile ride
What did you place in the middle of the seat. Between the 90 degree metal side pieces to be able to have a flat surface to fiberglass
Great video, very instructional, im about to tackle some thing similar, music between a bit loud, and the CX looks better as a cafe' not tracker
Thank you for the feedback Grant that's awesome :) I have 2 CX's so one will already be getting the full cafe makeover and this is Scrambler/Tracker challenge on a $1200 budget :) just a bit of fun for the channel Nothing serious. thanks again for taking the time to comment, The amazing comments are what keeps me going week after week. So many amazing guys here :)
cx500 build would be awesome
beardnbiker thank you for letting me know :) itâs look good so far :) sooooo many comments
Really enjoying the Vid's. I would love to see if you can do a $1200 build on the CX
Thank you B Rap I will work towards that CX Challange if enough people show interest, Thank you for the nice comment
A challenge build and riding adventure! Please do! That sounds awesome! (Dirt Every Day style)
So cool to know you will enjoy the whole process, Ive been planning the camping adventure trip with my good friend before the build has even started lol. I hope to start the build soon
Question mate. Before you lay the glass it looks like you paint on another coat of what you call flow-coat (gel coat w/wax). Do you add hardening agent to that coat and do you let it dry prior?
it would be cool to see that $1200 bike challenge
Richard Ricketts Iâve now started it and first video will be coming soonđ Itâs going to be a massive challenge thatâs for sure đŹ I love a challenge tho
hey mate, I absolutely love the videos, and are about to try it out myself. I was wondering about the gel-coat. Do you put the fiberglass and polyester on the gel-coat when it's still wet, or do you let it cure?
Regards!
Did you ever try this? What's the answer?
Hey mate,
Really good video. The only thing that I do not understand is why you didn't use mold that you get in first place (10:20) but instead you lay few more fibre glass layers inside that mold and then removed new shell from inside and you end up with two almost identical parts ( 11:19)?
Cheers
Do the Srambler build!
Great video! I'm in the middle of a seatpan build myself. No prior experience with this part of my build. Question... What would be the potential downside of simply making your initial mold the final piece c working on smoothing the outside rather than the inside? I have a boatbuilder friend who I've been debating this with and would love your thoughts. Keep up the great work!
Great Question and I have the answer for you in part 3 next Sunday. short answer is yes, you are correct tho, it's posable to just smooth the outside and have that as your final part, I just wanted to show the full process. any questions just ask.
Hi I was sent here from 'Classic Octane' . Like your work.
I'd like to make the seat of my Zx10 a solo seat, do you think I could make something like this, but using the seat itself as a mould.
Maybe by covering the seat with cling film, or do you think it would damage the seat?
Cheers
Please make the scrambler video, it would be very interesting.
Mr 0. Ok đ thank you for your comment brother :)
CX500's are the best... DO IT! im getting a GL400 shortly...
Alec Lewis thatâs awesome Alec thank you đ
At 7:10 would a heat gun applied to the wax per coat work to fill in the pores of the plug ? Nothing too aggressive heat wise, just enough to smooth the surface for the next coat.
Hi what do you call of that tool used to smoothen the fiber? The roller like tool thanks for noticing
Can you recommend any sander like the one you are using?
Hi there.... I saw the full process and I got the following Idea, that probably you could build it for me... I have a 1978 CB750F super sport and instead of converting it the whole bike into a cafe racer, I rather keep it original, as much as I can, but with a custom touch, and this is where you come in place.
I would like to use a factory seat and build a cafe racer tail on the rear part of the factory seat, and marry it to the factory cowl, and be able to utilize that space as an additional storage area, and the front part of the seat, would be "factory".
Any thoughts??
Please confirm.../Thank you
Please do the CX500 it would be a great project.
Alan Bratton parts are arriving for it now :) having trouble finding an 18â wheel for it tho. The search is on. Thank you for your comment and vote Alan :)
CX 500, yea
Did you sand the bondo by hand? Im about to bondo my seat as well
