Awesome video. I rebuild/restore also and am tired of the bobber crap. I started getting into the Cafe racer and I'll never go back. Thanks Herm for the info and keep on rockin on

Great video! As for the type of foam, I can answer this as I just started doing the same thing to my bike. It's that foam that's used for fake flower arrangements. Buy it at any craft store i.e. Michaels.

How did you get the blocks to stick together so well? When I tried with the same spray adhesive it literally did nothing

Hi Herm I live in France and I really enjoyed your video. It's very well explained. I wanred to know where I could get those "polystirene blocks" in the Us because I dont know if they have them available in Europe . thanks

@kanephillips4565 11 жыл бұрын

People, the green bricks are floral foam, you can get a case of 20 for about £20 on eBay. the polystyrene sheet is about £5. the glue just go to the D.I.Y shop.

@thunder81 I've just started to do this and I don't know what he's using in the video, but I went to a crafts store and bought some wet foam they use to hold fake plants in place. Mine's drying right now, so if you wait, I can tell you if it fails catastrophically. lol

@baltsosser 7 жыл бұрын

What kind of foam did you use to make the mold for the seat? Where did you source it from? I'm working on a project now to craft hard bags for a '99 Sportster XLH 883. We don't wan to spend 50% of the bikes value just to add hard bags, and looking at your video with the careful shaping of the foam was good. We'd like to go that way instead of buying so we can say built, not bought.

i've bought these, but my brother says the blocks aren't sturdy enough to work with. He says the blocks Herm is using, are different. Is he right?

@davesimpson85 6 жыл бұрын

Somebody tell me what kind of foam he's using here.

@CafeRacerDIY 11 жыл бұрын

You can find fiberglass cloth in a good car parts store or online. The only thing I'm not sure about is the thickness (450g/m2) and the kind (cloth or woven math). Herm seems to be using regular (non-woven) cloth, but my brother says a woven cloth is stronger and you should combine these two? Could someone verify this information please?

small side note , always wear a painters mask with good filters when using spray adhesive, the stuff is not like paint its literally glue vapour , read the back of the can there will be similar warnings its much worse than breathing in paint fumes

@motorcycledude26 11 жыл бұрын

the main problem i have found using the blocks and glue and just that, the more intricate the shape becomes, the harder itis to keep it all together becuase the bricks do NOT like to stick to each other... if there were a way to get the foam to behave during detailing, it would be fool proof! its a bad Ass process all around!
