I watched this series on headlight brackets, and I’m impressed with the simplicity of your designs. But much more I’m impressed with the simplicity of your fixtures - the ways you use to hold, clamp and locate the parts, often with very basic tools. Thank you, plenty of ideas and juice to start my thinking on other motorcycle items. It is appreciated. Les in UK 🇬🇧
Great video Dan. Bloody excellent job mate, your mate will be super stoked with them. Motorcycle camping is the best, have a great weekend and ride safe. Cheers from the West.
I love watching people use a lathe on all different types of materials, never used one myself and probably never will, but it’s a great skill to have. Love the brackets btw! 👍
Good looking brackets Dan. I'm currently making some of the other headlight brackets that you showed on another video. But I'm using them for my indicators. Fingers crossed it goes well. Cheers Alan.
2 comments in this video, WOW 😮. I had to go back and see what you were talking about lol, yes I need to clean as I go or it drives me crazy, especially with alloy and steel on the concrete floor, it's horrible to walk on and It comes inside my house way to often. Machining in thongs (Flipflops) is not ideal and kinda hurts, don't ask me how I know that. 🤦♂
I do a bit knife making as a hobby and i use a program called nanoCAD not sure if you any CAD drawing programs but might be handy for drawing up templates that need specific angles. As allways love the vid.
I think I responded to you on Instagram but if not, I started with a basic drawing and that changed mid-way through the build as I wasn't happy with it was turning out, so my drawing is different to the part you see at the end :)
Great video Dan. Bloody excellent job mate, your mate will be super stoked with them. Motorcycle camping is the best, have a great weekend and ride safe. Cheers from the West.
Thank you so much mate and yes I’m looking forward to the camping I’m just waiting on a couple more items to turn up so I can strap everything to the bike :)

Nice idea, minimal design easily constructed what's not to like. Nice to see people being given an insight into machining processes.
Thank you so much mate and yeah it was a fun little project to try out

Did wood and metal lathe work at high school many years ago - this was enjoyable to watch.
Just stumbled on your YT page! Great work, very nice to see you making a lot of custom stuff yourself. another subscriber 👍
Thank you Daniel that's great, so glad you are enjoying the videos so far
Love the work. The odd moto camping would be a blast to
Love watching the process. Your vid’s just keep getting better.
Thank you brother, I also learn a lot whilst I teach, having a friend to bounce ideas off is super handy, 2 heads are always better right?. 👍

Thank you so much mate.
Nice work . subscribed after 5 minutes of watching !
Haven't done any moto camping yet, but planning on it this summer. We'd love to see vids when you go.
Thank you for letting me know mate :)
Agreed, I moto-camp whenever I can, would be a great to see some videos on it
I'll be delirious when I sleep at night after seeing all the skills you have
Did you think to make the clamps close where the headlight bracket fits to create a cleaner look?
Hi, nice job Dan. I love all those machines. She'll be happy with that. thanks. Gus
Thank you Gus, It was a fun process that's for sure and easy plastic to work with
Heck yeah I’d be thrilled with them Dan! Great job 👌🏼
Thank you mate and yeah he is really happy with them
Looks so good. A thousand times better than the Amazon crap
Motor camping 🏕️ sounds great 🙂🙂

@@CafeRacerGarage lolol bold man xD working in flip flops!
Sweet result, Dan! So satisfying fabricating your own stuff, right?
🏍👍🏍
I definitely love making my own parts and learning how to do it along the way so that I can share the process 🙂
@@CafeRacerGarage 😎
Man I would be happy to buy a set of those. They are mint.
Thank you so much Bradley :)
Heck yeah I'd be happy to have them! My forks are 36mm. I'll keep checking the mail. =)
Thank you mate, Ha ha you crack me up 😂

That’s awesome mate thank you so much for the tip, is it a free program by any chance?
@@CafeRacerGarage yes there is a free version of it.Thats what i have.
Super bro
What headlight is that?
Great video mate. Would always love parts like that, and would love to see video of your camping trip, what bike will you be taking the CX500?
Yes the cx500 Scrambler with all my gear strapped to it including the camera gear to share the process with you.
@@CafeRacerGarage thats cool man, im planning a trip around Australia on a 1983 Kawasaki gt550 im turning into a scrambler
Hi, Can I ask you for a detail drawing? headlight mounts
I think I responded to you on Instagram but if not, I started with a basic drawing and that changed mid-way through the build as I wasn't happy with it was turning out, so my drawing is different to the part you see at the end :)
You better believe I would be happy to receive them. The only thing that would make them better (in my view) would be your makers mark on them.
I liked this so much, I went out to check my mail box in case you sent me a fabbed gift too. 😬
Nice work mate 👍🏼
Haha 😂
where did the headlight come from?
It’s a koso brand
ye mate... we want to see you camping :)
Ok awesome, Thank you mate :)
can i be your friend ;)
