HERE IS A LIST OF WHAT I USED IN THIS VIDEO: Deburr Tool SET- amzn.to/2ZvYkSx Countersink Deburr Tool - amzn.to/2Kdu3CE Marker Pencil - amzn.to/2ZELSjz (Doesn't rub off unless you want it to) Copper Hammer - amzn.to/2Km2MNe Square 12" (Yellow) amzn.to/339Gved Drill bit set- amzn.to/2ZxoyE2
I cant wait to see this thing finished. Easily one of the more in depth builds ive seen. Its really enjoyable watching you do so much fabrication of the smaller bits and parts that most people would overlook. Really sets you apart from other builders. Keep killin it my friend. :D
The mudguard bit was a good idea, it even made the half hole look like it was intended! :-) And wildlife on the handlebar! And filming the piece falling on the floor...attention to details indeed!
Hi Dan, just wanted to say thanks for the awesome videos! I'd been looking for a bike for a long time and you inspired me to go with the CX500. Picked it up an '82 a few weeks ago and am slowly getting it to where I want. Thanks for all the tips and details!!
Great! I follow a few channels like yours and iI must say You are the master of precision, details and fine stuff (sorry, my english is just not good enough for better description) Greetings from Croatia!
Excellent job.Just consider to cover the front side of the back tyre...If you plan to go on wet or muddy roads the back tyre will mess everything behind the engine ,including your legs . I customized a GL 400 similar to yours...
billiardballhead fandango yes I was going to do that but I’m not to worried about this build as it’s not a show bike but maybe on my other ones I will do that
Great videos! I love the educational explanations and engineering thinking and workarounds you come combine in your videos. Everything one could need from "how to?" videos. I also have a questions regarding the rear fender. Was it stock fender you modified or off another bike? I like the shape of it and would consider using it on my Honda VT500E.
Now you knew you wouldn't leave that fender like that, if anything because of the cutout in it. Also "On Yer Bike" a channel to check out. It's Doghouse Customs, you'll appreciate his "picky" style. I was wrong about the fender. Lol

Justin Carpenter thank you so much Justin. I try to video everything I can and share the process with you :) I’m glad the videos are going to good use

John Puremaster thank you mate, yes the stuff you notice is awesome. I left that half hole and put a grommet in it :)
As always Dan neat tidy and great ideas ..
Thank you again Gary ;)
ahh ... its so great to see a nice craftsmanship.. really love, how precise your machining and welding is .. makes a huge difference at the end
ian carry thank you mate. I like to make it as neat as I can with the skills that I have. Thank you for noticing
I'm loving this build man. Great work. You are an inspiration. 🤙
Bang tidy Dan. We must be getting close now.
It’s sure is 👍😮

Nice work. I used the holes in my rear fenders for the licence plate holder.
very satisfying to watch your work! keep it up
Yep the extra work gives a much nicer looking finish for sure.
David Elms thank you David. Always nice to see your comments come through 👍😊
Awesome video brother 👌
AMAZING....comme toujours
Great video of process and music! 10x a lot ;)
Café racers make me quiver.
This is really handy, ive been thinking for ages on how to do something like this with my CB. Great video as always. 👍
BB's Customs thank you mate, I was thinking about it for a while myself so this is what I came up with. I’m glad it’s helpful to you
As usual,
It is a polite work
If you ever have a tough time pulling wire, a little dish soap works great!
Great Idea Thank you for the tip
Again, brilliant.
Congrats.
zardportugal thank you mate 😊👍

hrx1973 Your English is easy for me to understand:) thank you for the kind words mate.
I really like what you did with the fender 👍🏼😊 think I’m gonna use that idea on my bike
Stephan van Nunen go for it mate. It’s why I do what I do on TH-cam. I’m glad it’s helping you with your project 👍
Bikes going to be solid when ur done bro...real nice!!
Bruce Kirk thank you so much mate. You may see it in a magazine 😮

Tasos Ananiadis great point ;)
Another great vid, coming along nicely m8 : )
Love the channel. Where did you get that tail light and fender?
Have you thought about running the tail light wiring thru the frame rather than thru those grommets?
billiardballhead fandango yes I was going to do that but I’m not to worried about this build as it’s not a show bike but maybe on my other ones I will do that

That bird was like "wtf is going on in here??" 😂😂

amazing bird - who is it? =)
The horn should ideally be facing forward. Difficult to hear on the highway otherwise. Nice content as always though!😊
Hey Dan what thickness of sheet metal do you recommend for electric boxes and cafe racer humps?
Also what pipe/ tube is that in the vice that you use for than clean bend to finish out that fender? Any information would be awesome. Thanks
Anup Venkatesh I’m not sure of the pipe size but the thickness of the steel is 1.12mm
Cafe Racer Garage cheers for the information. Love your channel. So inspiring
having a hard time with the playlist :( I was looking for the bike specific build list :( Everyting you do is fantastic though so wth.
