Hahaha, I hope you recovered well 📏🤣 I‘m gonna move to the States soon and I already can’t get out of bed, just thinking about imperial measurements 😅🇺🇸🦅

Hahaha hopefully you're not too mad :D

@@MotoWrenchers Haha! I will get over it once I see the finished bike. 😉

Moin, ich habe die bei Distrelec gekauft. War gar nicht einfach einen Shop zu finden, wo man die als Privatperson kaufen konnte. Aber da bekommst du die auf jeden Fall. Ich habe jedes Teil einzeln bestellt. Double-check auf jeden Fall, dass du die richtigen Einzelteile hast (die offiziellen Molex Links sind in der Videobeschreibung). Welche Blinker verbaust du? Viel Erfolg!

It's hard to tell with all the recording I did. But when I went through the course, I practiced about two weeks every day. After that I felt pretty comfortable.

Nice! Gut, dass du das fragst. Das habe ich scheinbar vergessen zu sagen. Also für Gaszug nimmst du am besten 1,5mm 7x7 und für die Kupplung habe ich 2mm 1x19 genommen. Für Bremszüge kann man auch 2mm oder sogar 3mm 1x19 nehmen. Bowdenzug24.com ist ein sehr nicer Onlineshop. Viel Erfolg! Und solltest du noch weiter Fragen haben, sag gerne Bescheid.

Thank you so much for the flowers!

Always at your service

Thanks. It made the process very enjoyable

Thanks mate!

Hi Francis! Yeah, they have a lot to choose from. I went with one that's called Tight Weave and I'd suggest to get the three smallest sizes they offer. That's 3,2 & 6,4 & 7,9 mm. I got 12,4 mm instead of 7,9 but that was way too big for my setup. It definitely depends a bit on the wires sizes you choose and how many wires you run in one sleeve but from my experience I'd say the three smallest sizes are perfect for a motorcycle wiring harness. I made a video about all of the supplies and tools I used to wire up the BMW in case you want to check out the rest: ruclips.net/video/EMMpw8kiHWY/видео.htmlsi=3gHVRSWvT43FXlwT Hope your're having a great day, Servus!

That's a very good question. I debated that myself. I think in the end, yes. At some point in the process I questioned, if it's actually worth the money. I feel like it did save me a lot of hassle, made the process quite easy, and allowed me to make a lean wiring harness. It's a great product but I also noticed, that it's definitely not as essential as I thought it would be.

Hi Michael, Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm happy you like it :)

Hi Andy, thank you very much!

Hahaha...I might have slight tendencies of perfectionism, I guess :D

Thanks mate!

Hi Jason, that's awesome bro! I'm absolutely willing to help you along project wherever I can. I had so many people helping me out with this build, which made a huge difference. Where in the US do you live now? I'll be moving to the States as well soon, if everything goes as planned. Which style are you going for with the R75?

Oh nice! Sounds like a good idea if you don’t have a lathe accessible. I’m not sure if any of these fork shortening procedures are a good idea…but it just looks better 😂

Hey man, I appreciate that!! Great to have you along. Hope you’re having a great day, Romario.

Are you working on a project at the moment?

@@MotoWrenchers not currently but man all this stuff your showing is definitely inspiration!

@romariorivera3089 thanks brother! Keep me posted should you start one 💪

Yo brother! Good to see you. Happy that it helps.

Thank you for your feedback buddy!

Hey man, you're very welcome!!

Yes...one thing led to the next. Now I guess I need to build the next bike so the collection pays off 😂

@@MotoWrenchers You sure do! Already looking forward to that!

@HeavyMetalParkingSpot is just the question…what? :) I have a few projects in mind.

@@MotoWrenchers I know! There are so many possibilities? What are you thinking? The same style?

@HeavyMetalParkingSpot yeah, so many interesting possibilities. One idea is to do a cafe racer style but with an interesting base. We’ll see :D

100% ferrules work amazingly

That is a great tip! Someone told me I should tin them but I'm always on the hunt for better solutions. What does "the solder can flow" mean? Is there a special pair of crimping pliers for ferrules for these tiny wires? Thanks for the tip, I really appreciate it!

Thanks buddy! I guess I need to do some research on how to crimp them :) And apparently, I can toss the soldering station now 😂

@@MotoWrenchers Hi, here is some more info for you: Phoenix Contact has a good write up about it called "The problems with tinning wires" Also IPC says that: IPC-J-STD-001 Rev E, page 13, section 5.1.3, “Stranded wire shall not [D1, D2, D3] be tinned when:” * Wires will be used in crimp terminations * Wires will be used in threaded fasteners * Wires will be used in forming mesh splices If you want some real world examples you can look around 3d printing forums and subreddits (it's a common fault there) As for ferrules, you can find them in all different sizes for specific wire cross-sections, they do need "special" crimpers but they are the cheapest ones (especially compared to those deustch ones). Also there are connectors called "Pin terminals" made for this purpose

@filipek5230 yo, this is awesome!! Thank you so much! 🙌🙏

Hey man, so does yours! You're pushing out great content for the car community it seems like. Really enjoy your video format. And thanks for offering your help. I noticed quite a few times during this project how helpful it can be to have knowledgable friends :) Hope you're having a great day!

Thank you so much for your feedback! 🙏💪

Hey man, glad they help! If you have any questions along the way, always feel free to reach out. Happy to help if I can 👌

I noticed when watching your exhaust video 😂 Thanks for the feedback my friend!

@@MotoWrenchers Haha, oops! 😇 Maybe you have said this somewhere, but where do you get your wires? Have you been able to find multi-coloured (like white/blue, yellow/green) at a decent price anywhere?

@HeavyMetalParkingSpot I got all my wires from a German shop called Kabelknecht.de They have all sizes and unlimited color combinations. But I don’t know how they handle international shipping.

I just released a video talking about every single part I used to wire up the BMW :)

@@MotoWrenchers Checked them out and they had a huge collection of wires! Seems like they ship internationally as well, might be worth it even considering the shipping. Thanks for the tips!

Moin! Sehr gerne. Freut mich, wenn sie helfen. Was hast du für die R45 im Kopf?

@@MotoWrenchers Ich hätte Lust auf einen Siebenrock Umbau auf 860ccm, aber als erstes muss ich mal nach dem Getriebe schauen. Es läuft ein kleines bisschen Motoröl zwischen Motor und Getriebe aus. Denke mal Kurbelwellensimmerring. Hast du sowas schon mal gemacht?

@ElTyranto oh ja, das wäre nice. Motor ist bei mir jetzt auch zum ersten Mal dran. Die R80 ist vorne, hinten, oben und unten undicht. Also muss ich da auch ran 😅

Thank you for your comment my friend! I'm happy if it helps. Hope you're having a great day!

Hello my friend! Thank you very much. I agree, that's how kids should learn as well. I think if you'd offer those kids who are interested in it, to build a custom bike, they'd learn so much more than from regular classes.

Hi Francis, thanks a lot! This topic stressed me out a lot before I understood it. I didn’t want to set the whole bike on fire. But once you know how it works it’s actually quite simple.

Hello my friend! Thank you so much for your kind feedback. Having the colored pencils is already job half done :D

Thank you my friend! Happy if it helps :)

I haven’t done that (yet). I saw videos where people shortened the springs. I’ll see how it works out when I rebuild the forks and have oil in them. They do close at the moment, so I hope it works without having to shorten them but I need to try that out once I have all the parts back from the powder coater. Also, need to see how much less oil it takes. I’ll probably make an update video down the line. Have a great one!!

​@@MotoWrenchers thanks for the answer. Good videos!

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback 🙏

Hi Champ! Thank you very much for the kind feedback. I’m happy you enjoyed them and I’m excited to have you as part of the community. I think it helped that I started with absolutely 0 knowledge, so I noticed all of the questions one might have in the beginning that after a while become second nature and might get overlooked but are crucial for a good understanding. Have a wonderful day! Ps: are you working on any project at the moment?

Hey man, Thanks for the insights! I appreciate that. Regarding the fuse on the M.Unit, Motogadget specifies that there needs to be an inline fuse between the battery and the BAT terminal of the M.Unit. There is a drawing on page 22 of the manual, in case you want to check it out. Have a great day, my friend!

Hi Robert! Thank you so much for your kind words. Definitely made my day! Tell me more about your plans for the R80.

@@MotoWrenchers Hi Josh, I bought a 1978 R80 a few years back then it got sidelined because of Covid. I'm currently finishing a Yamaha xs650 cafe project with basically Motogadget products everywhere. It's ok, the kids didn't want to go to college anyway, lol! Not sure, if I'll start the R80 or not. It runs but need a full restoration. It's been very helpful watching your videos related to Motogadget. Unfortunately I find their instructions difficult to follow but understand as I'm married to someone who's first language is not English. You're doing a great job. (Ancestry says I'm 27% German, no wonder I'm a fan of German products, design etc.)

Ah nice, I hear it's a great year ;) Would love to see a few pictures of your XS650 project. Are you Instagram? I'm happy that the videos are of help. With the Motogadget products the 'Made in Germany' still keeps up to what it once was. If you have any questions regarding the wiring, feel free to shoot me a message :)

TIG all the way 😍

Ja mit dem originalen Setup auf jeden Fall. Ich hab auf eine komplett neue Zündung und LiMa von Vape upgegradet. Dadurch fällt das bei mir zum Glück weg. Aber im originalen Diagramm müsste zu sehen sein, wie die Kontrolllampe verkabelt wird. Ich habe dazu mal gehört, dass die originale Glühbirne deutlich besser sein soll, als ein Widerstand und LED. Aber ich musste mich damit wie gesagt nicht genauer beschäftigen. An was für einem Projekt arbeitest du gerade? Schöne Grüße Joshua

Thank you my friend! It was so important to me to build a bike that I can be proud of in the end. Now that we're getting close to finishing the build, I'm happy I sticked with it.

You absolutely have it in you to accomplish whatever you set out to do. What are those projects for you at the moment?

​@@MotoWrenchersYou're absolutely right Joshua. But all beginnings are difficult..... so the saying goes. I mean that in general for everything I do....

😎

I just went with the flow. Anthony was a huge inspiration in my own journey. It was an absolute pleasure to get to know him in person. And I do agree...the amount of great bikes at the show was crazy! So many talented people building amazing bikes in their sheds.

Absolutely. Just trying to create the resources I wish I had, when I didn't know how to start.

"In compliance with TÜV" is my worst nightmare 😂

Thank you my friend! I appreciate that. And yeah, the brightness of the indicators surprised me.

@@MotoWrenchers Indeed! I can see why so many people are running them!

@HeavyMetalParkingSpot yeah, the Motogadet parts all feel and look super premium.

@@MotoWrenchers You literally get what you pay for, and you are paying a premium. 😅

@HeavyMetalParkingSpot haha true 😅

Thank you so much! As long as it works and doesn’t go up in flames, I guess you’re fine 😅

@@MotoWrenchers I guess you're right! It's just comforting know that the wiring looks good as well. 😀

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. I don't think that PLA could withstand brake fluid long term but I might be wrong. I definitely wanted to be on the safe side, so I built the brake fluid reservoir bracket from metal.

​@@MotoWrenchersThanks for the answer Joshua. I'll do a test then. I've already learned how to protect PLA from UV rays from the comments...👍🏻

Thanks. It was quite meditative

Thank you very much, my friend! I appreciate it.
