While I'm seeing this video, full of joy, there's two things in my mind; 1- That's an amazing project 2- I want to work on that workshop, that would be a dream job, awesome, congrats!!

For a street tracker tank you have to find the smallest most impractical tank you can find. Something that you can get no more than 20km of riding before you have to refill. 😉 Love ya work mate.

@CafeRacerGarage 6 месяцев назад

it's more about the shape than size for what I'm looking for but i get the idea of what you are saying ;)

@jackbattle2142 6 месяцев назад

If you're thinking of doing subframes, a xv750 bolt on kit would be great 👌

@Thewatson77 6 месяцев назад

I always prefer mono shock conversions if possible 👍🏼👍🏼

@mrtitsmigee 6 месяцев назад

Awesome work! What tube bender are you using in the video?

@punchbuggyyellow7097 6 месяцев назад

Love the happy problem of having to switch to a monoshock. It'll keep the back end nice & clean looking while emphasizing the duck bill seat I imagine you'll be installing later. I'd look at trying to source a Yamaha XS650 tank for this build. It's the right size & shape for a flat tracker and keeps the Yamaha lineage. If you want a more angular look, a Honda CG125 tank would be worth looking at.

@CafeRacerGarage 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much mate and yeah I have some more interesting plans for this bike so stay tuned 👍 I think the CG tank is a little shallow for the frame but I’ll check out the XS 650

@jackbamf9443 3 месяца назад

I’m about to buy the same bike today so It would be awesome if you made a kit for it

Non ho mai visto un video che combini umorismo e contenuto informativo in modo così perfetto. Complimenti!💋

@antti9001 5 месяцев назад

You have really good videos. It would be interesting to see spoke wheels on XJ especially on street tracker build. You could use yamaha xs650 front hub and xv535 rear hub. Waiting for the next part of this build!💪👍

@scottkovarik6361 6 месяцев назад

I think the mono shock was the right move for this 👍

@turningwheels7167 6 месяцев назад

honestly just a clean xs750 special tank would look great imo. Simple, straight bottom edge, and they should be almost a direct swap onto an xj if i remember right

@CafeRacerGarage 6 месяцев назад

I will have to find one and try it :)

Great content mate. You're clearly a lot more tooled up now, and you've got your eye in, with all of them. Can't wait to see the results. Stu. Melbourne

@CafeRacerGarage 6 месяцев назад

thank you mate, I am quite the perfectionist and continuously learning new skills, I would say I’m probably my worst critic so I tend to remake things because I’m not happy with the first version, making mistakes is all part of the process, having tools that you can rely on makes the process very enjoyable. especially with all the nice comments that come through 🙂

@stuartwood7252 6 месяцев назад

@CafeRacerGarage Yep. No matter what I'm doing, as a chronic perfectionist, when CFP rule comes in, you only get 2 choices. Cheap & Fast. Definitely not Perfect. Fast & Perfect. Definitely not Cheap. Cheap & Perfect. Definitely not fast ;)

Hey mate! Nice job!one question :Can you send me a link for this bending pipe? 1:33 it's fantastic! What diameters can it handle?

@oskumakkyla1618 5 месяцев назад

How does the vehicle inspection work in Australia? Do you need to get the frame approved by the state before you can get a plate for the bike? Where I'm from, you have to take the bike for a new inspection if you alternate the frame too much, and it needs to hold said amount of force without breaking in order to get a license plate.

@joshsalas65 4 месяца назад

What is that electric pipe bender called?

@Ron_Masterjohn 6 месяцев назад

Sure nice you have some great fabricating tools. 😊

@CafeRacerGarage 6 месяцев назад

It's taken me many years to get to this point but I have always been a tool guy and love learning new ways of doing things :)

You sure are good.@@CafeRacerGarage

@HK-nl3ih 6 месяцев назад

How did you bend the upsweft of the frame hoop? Cut it halfway, hit it with hammer and weld back together?

@CafeRacerGarage 6 месяцев назад

100% it's how I've always done it so you can get the angle exactly how you want on the bike, just make sure if you are going to grind the welds flush that you prep the join with a gap or 45 degree for plenty of strength

@scottdog182 6 месяцев назад

The mono shock idea will look great Dan, I was thinking a tank off an old Yam RD 400 or Kwak KH 250. Not sure about the size of the original tank, is it a bit big?? Can't wait to see what you do

@CafeRacerGarage 6 месяцев назад

Thank you mate I will definitely check out those tanks to 👍

@alfredagamez5783 6 месяцев назад

CX500 Deluxe Gas tank!

@CafeRacerGarage 6 месяцев назад

Actually I never thought of that idea thank you

@johnDukemaster 6 месяцев назад

Please stop working with your left arm over the chuck. If something happens, your file will hit you or your sleeve will catch on to the rotating chuck. Better be safe my friend. Put your right hand on the tip of the file and the handle in your left hand. And keep your left hand on the top surface of the handle. That way, if something would happen, the file moves away from your hand, not into it. I hope you don't mind me saying this. 🙂 You are a mix of Gyro Gearloose and Inspector Gadget! Amazing! Cheers!

@CafeRacerGarage 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for the tip John I appreciate you looking out for me. I dislike using a file on the lathe at the best of times so any help is always taken with the upmost respect ✊

@samuelruff3775 6 месяцев назад

What was the issue with having the shocks vertical? Is there any mechanical disadvantage to them not leaning so far forwards or is it just a visual issue.

@CafeRacerGarage 6 месяцев назад

I’m no expert on suspension, but Id assume there is a logical reason as to why they’re on that angle, perhaps the way the swing arm swings up has something to do with it. i’m extending the swing arm to its full reach and switch into a mono shock which has its own challenges as you’ll see in the next video. If I was to keep the twin rear shocks, I would try and keep them on the angle they were from stock. Hope that makes sense.

A tank similar to the old Yamaha TT500

@mattharding3175 Месяц назад

Hey mate, Love what you do. I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now. I’m currently building a CX500, it has a bent subframe so I’m planning on building a new subframe for it. I’m in North QLD and I’m struggling to find a supplier for suitable tubing to build the frame out of. Can I ask where you get the tubing from? I imagine it’s seamless mild steel you’re using.

@CafeRacerGarage Месяц назад

Hey mate, I just generally use 3mm wall thickness 22mm mild steel tube. I do know that the tube on these particular bikes is about 25 mm, so bohler steel in Brisbane could possibly get you the correct OD that you need or potentially contacting a steel supplier and ask them where to get the size you require and they may have some better options of companies that can help

@mattharding3175 Месяц назад

@@CafeRacerGarage Thanks. Steel suppliers up here haven’t been very helpful. Most cater for mining so start at larger diameter tubing. The CX is 28.6mm 1.6mm wall so I’ll probably go 25mm with a thicker wall depending on what I can get. A Fab place put me on to Pirtek as they sell 1” hydraulic tubing with 2mm wall. Wall thickness is probably fine, maybe a little on the thin side, I’d rather not have to remove zinc plating though.

@CafeRacerGarage Месяц назад

@@mattharding3175 try calling this number and ask them if they know of a place where you can get exactly what you want 07 5597 6822 This is a steel supply company here on the Gold Coast and I’m pretty sure one of the guys there told me about a company that you can get what you need, but I can’t remember the name of the one they mentioned, if you do end up finding out the information, let me know 🙏

@mattharding3175 Месяц назад

@@CafeRacerGarage too easy I’ll give them a call. Also can you please stop using expensive tooling. After watching you use that tube bender I need to have one now and I can’t afford one 😂 The Mrs would appreciate it if you’d go back to bending tube around plywood on the floor.

@mattharding3175 Месяц назад

@@CafeRacerGarage So I called the steel supply company and they put me on to other steel supplier in Brissy, who told me to call Van Leeuwen in Redbank. Van Leeuwen can stock most sizes of seamless tube and can order in what they don’t have. They have 7/8” (22.2mm), 1” (25.4mm) and 1 1/4” (31.8mm) OD and a variety of wall sizes ranging from 1.6mm - 3.25mm. Only downside is they only sell in 6m lengths.
