that 'wax on the ol grinding disc' trick is best thing I have learned on RU-vid in ages, thanks Dan!

@robertz5958 4 года назад

I am restoring a 1965 honda cb72 and I am repairing the original gauge and had to buy a speedo cable for about one $45 so what you have done is probably cheaper and the end result is brilliant. I personally think the single gauge looks better and with the gauge you have used it still looks somehow old school and not ultra modern! Very well done Dan and thanks for another great interesting video! Cheers from Tassie

@gregmoppett8425 4 года назад

I like the idea of single headlight, single gauge. Looks great! I was worried when I saw the size of the gauge but the way you've mounted it made it work in perfectly! Awesome job as per usual Dan!

I bought a 1971 Cb750 back in 1984 .Rode that ole girl for many years back in my teen years ...Last time it seen the road was in 1988 ..sat in the garage all these years ..My oldest Son asked me all the time " Dad ,when are you going to give me that old bike ??you never do anything with it !!" .Well I broke down and gave it to him and he trailered. It home to his house 100 mile south of where I live in Fla ..Had alot of Big Hopes for the old bike ..Told me " Dad I'm going to fix this ole girl up and get her back on the road .....Well my Son passed away .Back in December of 2015 ...My Brother and I trailered it back up to my house and I put it back in the shed ...One. Day when I get the money together I want to build it into a Bike in Memory of My Son Justin ....Rest In Peace Son .Until we meet Again

@yudadwiparamarta7619 4 года назад

What a pretty looking cockpit. How thick the aluminium that you use? I use a random 1 mm steel to mount my original speedo and it's not stiff enough, bouncing around when i'm riding. Maybe you could give an advice? I'd do a single, but one with everything. One that have at least a speedometer, a tachometer, and an odometer.

@CafeRacerGarage 4 года назад

The one I’m using is 3mm thick and definitely doesn’t seem flex much at all.

@johnybrokeit 4 года назад

A silly question from someone who knows jack about metalwork, if u won't mind... The welding of the gauge that u did, why couldn't you make the entire piece just one piece and bend it into the final shape with the elevated portion too, all in one? ...I'm just curious! I love your work and I'm mad jealous about the metal work knowledge that you possess. Thanks for being an inspiration. I hope to be starting of my practical learning soon somehow. I live in India, I don't know who to trust to teach me, so youtube it is, haha! (theory first).

@CafeRacerGarage 4 года назад

johnybrokeit You are 100% right you could’ve done this with one piece but if you remember from the video I was originally not going to have the stepdown so I added that later and needed to weld it or make myself a whole new piece. You could easily make the same thing with just a vice and a hammer. And something to cut the aluminium with. There’s no such thing as a stupid question. we all have skills in different areas and I’m happy to help :)

@johnybrokeit 4 года назад

@@CafeRacerGarage o yes, thanks for reminding me about the stepdown bit. And thank you for your kind words. You won't believe it, i have really long hair now, to the middle of my back.. it was a deal i made with a buddy, that i wouldn't chop it off till i finished this project i was working on. It is a yamaha RX 135cc motorcycle that i wanted to rebuild myself into a brat style bike. I got the painting and everything done but a brackets i got stuck with for over 2 years now hahahahaha. The bike parts are sprawled all over my front room (in a very organized manner of course) in my 4th floor apartment.. 3 of my buddies helped me drag it up here. The circular connection of the chassis behind the seat that u guys usually weld on to the frame, i wanted to just make a separate pipe piece that bolted on to the rear shocks top screws and "looked" like they were welded to the frame. This is so i could bring the bike back to stock (just in case) and have a clean frame without having ever cut it. i'll get it done soon, can't wait to get rid of this long hair. Chicks like the curls, but long hair i reckon should be only for girls, man. Unless u look like a warrior from the 300 movie haha. Cheers! And thank you for your reply.

@johnDukemaster 4 года назад

On this bike? Single. Minimalistic style, Scandinavian! I think Dan...I'm a bit concerned about your bracket. Not that I try to "beat you" at your game. That piece you welded on (thank you for sharing mistakes!) where those two "legs" meet up at the bend, that's a week point. Those two corners may broke in time by vibration. A better solution would be rounded corners and the cutout a few mm further down making the bend go all the way through the bracket. Difficult to explain! Does it makes sense? When that said, a very well made film, high quality, learning and entertaining at the same time. Thank you!
