Thank you my friend! 🤘

Haha, in the living room? Awesome! What bars will you put on?

@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot it's a Honda Navi..the triple tree isn't strong enough; so I had to run a bolt all through so I can make them taller.. stock was about 5 in what I got on there now is 12 in.. probably be a about 17 in with some LED lights up high so people I'm a semi.

@@stevenschuck2770 Aha, I see, never tried one of those. That sounds pretty awesome! 🤘

The brake only has two wires, they are really easy to extend! For the brake line I would replace it with a new, longer one. Personally, I wouldn't trust any sort of extension for that.

@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot thanks bro, my bike has T dragbar and I bought 16 inches (40 cm) long ape hanger, so I gotta do lotta work in one day, and waiting for an off duty to focus on my bike! stay with metal and keep your powder dry

@@dustypaint No worries, let me know if I can be of any more help! Good luck and stay metal! 🤘🤘

You might be right about that! 😅

@@hz2984 I have all the confidence in Suzukis engineers and I in no way thing that I have made a machine that performs better. This build is more for fun than performance. Your bike looks really rad btw! 🤘

@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot 👌😎

Thanks my friend! Glad to have you along for the ride! 🤘 Oh, yeah! Or you going to any of those?

​@@HeavyMetalParkingSpotOf the big events, I would be interested in Hellfest in France because of the variety of bands and the cool location. But the tickets are already sold out... Apart from that, I don't have a concrete plan yet....

🤘

Thanks! Glad you found it useful!

Thank you my friend! Yeah! You just have to get started somewhere and most of the time the rest will follow. Looking forward to follow your new year as well!

Thanks! I’m sure I’ll need it! 😀

Thanks man! The plan is to put some isolation back in, but maybe going for a more modern alternative? Definitely planing for the stereo already!

Hey! What year is your bike and what colors do you have on your wires?

@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot its a 86 2 black and white 2 orange 1 solid black 1 solid green ive got it mostly figured but 1 where is not in correct spot it will turn over spark once but will not spark again till i let off start button so starter is canceling spark hope that some one can send a pic of the cdi plug so i can see correct orintation

@@pitpuppies Sorry, I can't help you! Crossing my fingers someone with a similar bike will show you and help you!

@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot I looking threw my wiring diagram and the pinout is the same on the CDI for all the years if you can send me pic of your cdi plug would really like that i could make sure ive got it right I think i do but im not 100%

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you too! Haha, yeah! I will put in some kind of insulation and carpet and stuff, but always nice to start clean! Especially considering all the rust I found. As you said, I'm guessing I will have to make a lot of my own stuff for this build, but that's half the fun! Haha, maybe it's better to not know what the van was used for? 😅

@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot a firm called dodo does a great sound deadening pad material super sticky and foil backed. cuts with a knife or scissors . Becareful on insulation try not to use a glass fibre based product . Older van using this suffered badly due to water retention

@@garyyorke1080 Thanks for the tip! Water being trapped inside the van is by far my biggest fear. Will have to read up on insulation before putting anything in.

It’s a pleasure to follow your journey 🎉

@@MotoWrenchers Thanks my friend!

Cheers my friends....🍻

@@michaelelse9328 🍻🤘

As far as I remember I never found anything specific. My guess is that I put on the side cover incorrectly with the shift lever in the wrong position. I hope you enjoy your bike, they are awesome!

Haha, thank you! Glad you found it useful! Let me know if you make something badass with it!

Haha, spot on! Somewhere down the road I should probably get it airbrushed! Thanks, glad you're excited as well!

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

That makes very much sense! It has to be practical as well. Purple is definitely one of the colors I'm seriously considering.

Just plain white or any graphics to go with it?

Haha, yeah, I like the sound of that! 🤘

That's an awesome idea! I really like that!

Haha, thanks man! It would be cool to be able to start a trend actually! 😂 Oh, yeah, I love Vice City! Another idea to add to the list. I know, right?! Not really. At the moment I just want it to run as smooth and reliably as possible.

Thanks my friend! Dry but important topic! 😅

​@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot😅🍻

Oh yeah! 🤘 Awesome! Did you find anything you liked at the show?

​@HeavyMetalParkingSpot My favorite is the "Starbridge Bobber", a Savage which was rebuilt by the Hamburger Horde. The finest work was auctioned for a children's hospice. Then the "patchwork bike" from Hesse's Customcycles. A Honda Shadow that was built exclusively from donated parts as a memorial to the children who lost their fight against cancer. These were two huge affairs of the heart with so much creativity, courage and commitment. The two live biker build-off shows were great fun. One on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the "Simson Schwalbe". And the big European Biker Build Off: Vhard Motorworks from Poland vs. USM Motorcycles from Germany. In my opinion, the Polish Harley conversion was the clear favorite.... I was also fascinated by 3 other Savage conversions.....🤪🤩🍻

@@michaelelse9328 I had to look up all the bikes you are mentioning and they really do look amazing! So cool to be able to go to a show and actually see Savages and Shadows. Up here in the north it's mostly Harleys at the shows. Really sounds like you had a great time! Now I'm longing to be able to go to a custom bike show soon as well! 🤘

​@@HeavyMetalParkingSpotOh thanks for the interest my friend and yes, I had a lot of fun for 2.5 days with all the bikes from all the manufacturers.... Where do you go in Sweden to look at custom bikes? Norrtälje? I can't wait to see what you conjure up from the Chevrolet....

@@michaelelse9328 Yes, Norrtälje is the number one place for custom bikes. I would really recommend it if you ever get the opportunity to go!

Thanks man! It really is! Skål! 🍻

In this video I'm actually using another Vevor TIG. Unfortunately there are no way of getting a button on the other welder and that is actually the only reason I got the other one. Here's a link to it if you feel like checking it out. s.vevor.com/bfQ9jJ

Glad to hear that you’re sharing my excitement! I’ve been thinking about flames as well! Everything gets better with some flames! 🔥

Flames! For sure. Heavy metal parking spot truly!

@@OldeThunderCC Haha, indeed!

✌️

You are right! The order of those yellow cables doesn't matter and it shouldn't keep your bike from firing. It sounds like a good idea to start over with the bare minimum. Let me know how it goes!

I think you might be right! And I agree with the no belt = better. 😅

Interesting! I've never heard about that problem with the cover being too tight. What spacers/washers was it that you had to remove?

Haha, thanks man! Looking forward to it! 🤘

Thanks man! I totally agree! I'm one of those weirdos that actually enjoy the wiring. 😅 I remember that call as well, and you've come a long way since then! The wiring jobs you do now is really professional looking! Thank you again! ✌️

Turn signals and horn is also great to have in an emergency. 😉 Kidding aside, I think it's a good idea to keep as much of the safety features as possible, they are there for a reason. But you know how it is! 😀

I'm glad you found it useful! I hope you'll get your bike back together!

Thank you very much! You are right! Most components of a motorcycle are actually really simple to wire. For me it always helps to remove as much as possible and then add back in what I actually need. Agree on the Haynes vs Clymer. I've always found Clymer easier to follow as well. Thanks again for hanging around!

Have you checked your petcock to make sure that functions correctly and that you run it in the right position?

@HeavyMetalParkingSpot yes Man, i cleand UP I discoverd that was actually leaking a bit Mas even that dia not work with It being rich as hell

@@tutu20121 Petcocks are know to go bad on these bikes. Did your problem get resolved?

@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot Nah i still haver the smell of Gasoline. And still super rich the misture

@@tutu20121 Did you manage to get the leak fixed? Are you running the petcock on PRI or ON?

Thank you very much! I really like chopped DR650s! Would be fun to do that kind of build one day. That tank sounds awesome! I hope you get it repaired. Sounds like a good idea to wait for a TIG welder, it will save you lots of frustration. 😀 And I really recommend getting one, it's really fun!

@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot Sealant arrived today, into it tomorrow, yaaay. Takes 4 days to dry so I'll put it & the seat base on the spare frame & it can cure at the upholsterers. Next problem is I need a rear shock that will lower it 100mm without the tire rubbing. Will talk to the suspension gurus in Brisbane & see what they say. The joys of customizing, lol.

@@aussie6910 Awesome! I've never used a sealant like that, would be interesting to know how it turns out for you! Haha, yeah, there's always a new problem to solve! 😅

Great tip! Will try that next time!

That makes sense. Thanks for letting us know!

Thanks! 🤘

Thanks! You’re probably right! What’s next on the todo list on your build?

@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot Weld on a better kick stand mount, sissy bar ( thanks for forcing me to do better btw bro!), I got a Buell donor motor so i gotta do the heads cams and trans, then paint! Im gonna do a Pagan wizards defeating monarchs and restoring the land vibe. Have you ever checked out Sabaton by the way? I think you would dig them if your into power metal at all.

@@Davidsmithnunya Sounds like you have a bit of work left, but it also sounds like it could turn out really awesome! Being from Sweden I have very much heard of Sabaton. Not a huge power metal fan, but they are pretty cool! 🤘

Thank you very much! Glad to have you sticking around! 🤘

Looking back, that would probably have been a better route. Next time!

I bought new ones. But I think it would be possible to reuse the old ones.

Hej! Just checked out some of your videos and your chop looks amazing!

@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot thanks man yours too. I Like you’re style. Good on ya for making something unique.

@@OldeThunderCC Thanks for stopping by and leaving that comment, really appreciate it!

@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot choppers forever and heavy metal always! Kvlt!

@@OldeThunderCC Hell yeah! 🤘

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I know you've been following along and I'm glad you can see an improvement. This kind of encouragement really helps me keep going! Cheers! 🤘

@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot I watch a lot of build videos and other stuff !!! On the tube however some like you i follow with an interest because we are both similar in what we do yep I'm a tad older than yourself ( probably the better part of 20 plus years ) but i see myself in the way you look at things yours is a more i can do that attitude rather than ok let's research the shit out of before i even attempt it . I've moved from cars to bikes and into trikes and back n forth over the years always had bikes and admired anyone with the aptitude to attempt something and then re visit it later if they ain't happy . Keep going young man and I'll keep watching .. next tool to chase up would be a sheet brake or folder .. more making out and more precise cutting on sheet work but a lot less welding to leak . Keep up the hard work Brother . Much respect ..

@@garyyorke1080 The lack of research does come back to bite me every now and then, but never mind, I'm having fun! Thanks for the encouragement! I'll keep going for sure! Yes! A sheet brake would be amazing to have. Will probably pick one up the next time I need to bend something.
