You guys have helped me thru my addiction from day 1 and I'm 2 years and 8 months clean today thank you guy all of you are awesome
Keep it up
heck yeah man LET'S GOOOOOO! You've got this!
Congratulations brother that is truly a gift from God, like how dirt said you gotta keep on keeping on brother. I'm proud of ya frfr.
Congrats man keep up the good work. I know it isn't always easy but you got this.
Congratulations and excellent work! It's not always easy but it's always worth it. Im proud of ya.
43:15 just something to note after watching you guys for years…
being able to see out the window and kind of assemble what time of day it is really adds a cool layer that is new for me.
love the new shop!
I'm jealous of the skills and knowledge that the rest of the crew gets to learn from hanging out with Ethan! Dude's a wizard.
This build is particularly interesting because it's so far out there conceptually, I pretty much have no idea what the end result will be. Thankfully with Ethan's technical and artistic talent being what it is I'm sure it'll be an absolute blast seeing his vision come to life!
You (we all) know he will make it work. All the stress points, angular strength, etc. are in his brain. He can also ride them. Ethan, King of Scots! You will prevail. 🤪
PUMPED FOR THIS ONE! Going to be the sickest build to date, and with the most beautiful welds, I'm sure.
hope you like it!
@@GrindHardPlumbingCoYeeeta
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo You guys are fucking up putting a shock designed for a linkage in direct. The spring rate on linkage shocks, which are most sportbike shocks, are way fucking softer than direct link shit. ducati shocks are the cheapest high end direct link shit you can grab used. You are going to ride that thing and be like why is the tire eating the seat hoop. Now you know, if you bothered to read this comment.
6:18
I'm a simple man. I hear a doggo go "awwwwoooooommmmmgghhhhhaaaaaa!" and I smile 😊
I get the feeling this is a secret SEMA build. The creativity, quality of work and the not skimping on anything is incredible and PREMIUM!!
Not even secret, on the podcast they've openly talked about SEMA in a general sense. Like how cool it would be to get the fire engine working as a vehicle to drive their stuff to it and display on the show.
It's not a Sema build lol.
@AccAkut1987 not how Sema works lol.
Dude is on a whole other level than anybody else. This build is mind bendingly amazing. Of course, it will be the handful of all handfuls to operate, but really, it’s more a work of industrial/mechanical art than anything else. It’s an exercise in excess. Freaking gorgeous. I’d guess the higher up the rider can sit, the easier it MIGHT (?) be to operate, but who am I to second guess whatever it is Ethan might have in mind.
Someone get Ethan a desk and a mouse for God sake! Cad with a touch pad is insane.
An incredible amount of work went into this episode 🤟🤟🤟
It shows, especially lately 😁🤟
Yup and not just fabrication, but design. A lot of people can fab or design but not a lot can do both so kudos on that.
Ethan needs a dual screen cad setup I think!!
wait...is this the sent and bent podcast about will or something?!?!?
It’s our podcast! Episodes dropping every week
Can you please do an updated SHOP TOUR now that you have most everything moved in and set in place, that wouyld be awesome to see the extra space, the dedicated work areas, and the efficiency youve created. Thanks guys, your Kiliing It !! Maybe in a clockwise fashion starting at 1 point in the shop and working your way around?
If you do a front single swing arm, you might want to do it on the opposite side of the rear to counterbalance the weight at the rear and make the bike more rideable, i fear the weight of all this tubing is going to off balance it a lot and render turning left way more easy than right!
I don't think it's a significant enough unbalancing force to worry about. It's low to the ground and theres a ton of mass right on the centerline from the motor, beefy hubs, and giant wheels
I hope you are right! Only time will tell ;) Can’t wait to see the project complete!
I had the exact same thought when Ethan mentioned how much it wanted to lean left.
@@mrastleysghost that swingarm is pretty far from the centreline though, it'll be creating a reasonable twisting torque.
I commented the same thing, it matters more at low speeds.
Every Grind Hard build is super cool, unique, and creative. But this might be the greatest creation they have ever done 🔥💯🇺🇸
we're having a blast with this one for sure
The ruckus was also an amazing build
For sure. Every build is unique but this one outta control. Just that swing arm alone should be in a art gallery.
@@GrindHardPlumbingCowatching y'all (especially with this bike build)reminds me of that show orange county chopper, all the cool builds and great people without all the forced and or personal drama brought on by new money and the producers and then made into part of the storyline that made that show unwatchable! at least that's what it reminds me of!
Oh, Ya.@@moeyali123
Great video! Camera work, editing and music are very cinematic and of course the build is awesome.
I gotta say, this was awesome to watch. Not only is it great content, but the video and audio editing along with the camera work was sublime! One of my favorite things about this channel is that everyone is improving with each job. That attention to detail and pushing yourselves to literally do better everyday.
The macro insert shots and the random drone shots are under appreciated
Thanks editor!
Grind Hard is so consistently A+. Ethan and Edwin / Edwin and Ethan, you guys are next-level masters of your craft. Stoked to watch this unfold over the winter.
Welllllll........ except for when its swindle squad. I really can't take Will.
The amount of fab work and engineering that went into that front arm is insane
What an amazingly talented individual you are I watch some highly educated people come up with ideas and put it into a cad file. Then they turn turn their cad files into drawings and have another individual put them into a CnC file where an operator will machine those pieces then another individual will tig weld them together and assemble them. You my man are the complete one stop stop shop!
That front hub belongs in an art gallery, that is one of the most eye pleasing works of art I have ever seen...
you know its a good day when they upload
sorry we were a bit late! Long video lol
I cant even begin to comprehend how you come up with these ideas and execute them, truly amazing. Cant wait to finish this episode either :)
It comes naturally when you do it once…that’s all it takes. The creative side of your mind takes over development!
The new digs seem to be adding to your inspiration AND aspiration to do and be the best you can be. The weld you showed is beautiful, take that from someone who's been in the business over 40 years. So looking forward to the next episode!
It’s sweet to see how far you guys have come. A true inspiration, thank you
Not too many videos that i watch from start to finish without skipping anything... That said, i find myself not only watching Grind Hard videos in their entirety but going back several times to re-watch key points! Looking forward to more progress!
Me too, quality content ❤
You should flip the front wheel around, so that each side gets a hub and each side gets a mechanical component. It might help with the weight leaning to the left as well. Because it’s really going to lean left once the engine is running and it has rotational mass and torque all on one side.
The engine has a transverse crank, torque will not twist the bike left and right.
@@jaredlancaster4137 my thoughts exactly... and it would be nicer to see a full 'clean' side and a 'mechanical' side!!!
I kind of like the thought of a two-faced bike.
That hub assembly is a work of art.
The front hub looks absolutely amazing. Your attention to details and aesthetics is what turns those builds into real masterpieces.
I wonder if putting the front swing arm on the other side would help with weight distribution?
Awesome Chopper, Great Episode! Have you guys thought about adding a rear quarter fender to protect the rider? (Positioned from 9-11 o'clock) All it will take is a good bump throwing the rider back and that rear tire is going ruin your day.
That and he will get hosed with rocks and mud being right there
When he started riding it with the jack that was my immediate thought! With a tire that knobby, you could easily get sucked right into it and squeezed through the frame 🤢
Ethan, you are an amazing genius of creative and self taught madness! Your ocd and commitment to your process, and the way you find extreme joy in the minutia of well designed small parts is truly unique. You are creating your magnum opus!
I’m incredibly proud of you guys and what you’ve built in the past few years. It’s inspiring and super duper fun to watch. Keep kicking ass at doing what you’re passionate about!
Great build takes me back a bit hub steering, ELF, Tony Foale, Heijara.
Norman Hossacks double wishbone later adopted by BMW.
Spent ages playing with variations and adjustable dive and trail ratios etc.
That hub assembly is giving me Firefly Class vibes, incredible work
The intro really made this feel like a new episode of my favorite show. ❤
30:08 Love that your dogs are teaching you to fetch
You are a true fabricator, such passion for the craft. Very enjoyable to watch the progress. Thank you.
50:49 This bike build has some definite STEAM PUNK vibes!!! Premium for sure!!! 👍
@25:20 Ethan drilling out the sprocket so you could see multiple steps of the stepped bit in the hole was simultaneously satisfying and triggering
So glad you guys got your shop finished... I have been waiting for the madness to return to the channel. This is it in spades.
WOW! Guys, ive been watching you since the beginning. Im only 20 minutes in and I AM LOVING THIS FORMAT. So well shot and edited, AND amazing craftsmanship. You guys blow my mind every video. LOVE this shit. Keep it up y'all.
EDIT: Just finished the video. Seriously blown away. Y'all are amazing and I wish you nothing but the best. Keep crushing it.
This is certainly a deep drive into custom your fabrication. I love it. I wish I was right there with you.
Out of bounds! Best build so far. Technically excellent.
Looking forward to the next video. Amazing job on all the fabrication work and designs
Wish all your videos were longer like this one love the learning Ethan explains as he's building so much I get all hyped up to want to go build my own stuff after watching
mad respect for using the touchpad while designing stuff
I am genuinely impressed by how you are actually making a working motorbike built around those monster roadwheels.
Usually I watch your YT videos thinking; if I had the equipment - and could actually use it to do metalwork, I'm sure that fabrication looks dead easy.
I'm one of those people who loves working out how to do involved jobs, do them to the best of my ability, make them look as near perfect as I can.
'So long as it's perfect, that's good enough'
Then sit back and holding my breath, admire my finished work.
This project, I'm trying in vain to picture in my mind how the next part of the fabrication process is going to pan out. Luvin it.
More power to your elbow lads 😉👍
Seeing the various state of the garage door cardboard/wood/door flopping all around was quite entertaining.
Been following you for two years now. I watch every video. I’m a hobby welder myself and love to see the stuff you build.
Its such a dream to have a workshop where u can build whatever u want, U are my inspiration to do some DIY projects! Great video as always!!
Man what a premium build! The fab work on this one is over the top and that’s saying a lot after all the kick ass builds you guys have done in the past.
I felt like the music was on point this episode. That hub looks so freaking sick!
That knuckle is a real piece of art! This thing looks wild already!
I love these longer videos, it feels like a tv show. It’s great. And I love learning some new techniques and ways of thinking while creating something new
I have been here since the snowmobile scooter days, It has been awesome watching you guys grow! Ethan & Edwin & crew have talents that have really created something rare. The engineering and editing get better every project. I think this new shop has unlocked the next tier, excited for the future of grind hart!
It's very cool to see you embracing new tech to reach new levels of genius. Thank you.
Everything you build is a piece of artwork. I just wanted to let you know that you're a very talented person. The depot your plans at your head and put them on paper. Whenever you put it on in design, you're amazing.
My favorite build so far. THIS , will be PREMIUM!!!
Wow Ethan! The rear rotor setup and spindle look like a piece of Artwork.make sure you use some wild colours to make it pop. Don’t hide it in the shadows. Sweet welds and design.
Your one of the few RUclips channels that can post long videos that keep my interest for the whole video.
Love the new shop and can’t wait to see this build done, motivated me to get back into my garage and keep building my XJ off road recovery rig!
The energy encapsulated in these videos is top notch. Good ish, yall. Great choices. Better team.
This build fully encapsulates yalls sense of optimism that your new shop represents. I love it
This thing would be sweet to see in person! I love this build!
the craziest build from scratch you've ever done.
its so nice, interesting and exciting to see how creative ethan is developing his projects und professional you are working.
also trial and error - sometimes the best way to be successful.
and you're always learning something new. i am so excited about the first run and the final result.
The mechanical and design abilities are off the charts. Absolutely love it. The fact you are making stuff that most people can only imagine is genius.
I’m from Chicago you guys been inspiring me for a long time I’m grown man now with a child and still watch you guys
Ethan my man you are a master at your craft. I am so eager to see you ride this monster that I can’t hardly wait for your next video. I just wish I had half your skills and vision. You ROCK my friend…. Wish I had the means to come hang out with you and the guys. It would be a blast to see you guys working in action. Keep up the good work. Be blessed!!!!
in this video everything was next level. amazing filming and building
i love the sleeve glove when taking anything of the plasma cutter
Of all the impressive feats in this video, designing everything on a MacBook with a trackpad on a stool takes the cake for me 🙌
This is my favorite project to date, and it's barely started. You guys just keep improving fast!
Guys .. i see myself in the future just like you are now... Im from venezuela but i cant quit my job to do this kind of work. But im doing my best to make it happen soon enough. Thank you... Because you inspired so many people in the world to build something out of nothing, and leaving a lot of issues behind letting roll that brilliant mind... Thank you.
You guys are great. In the middle of nowhere with limited resources and machinery, you put out the coolest ish. I'm going to to coin a phrase from across the pond, as a petrol head that digs all things motorized, your engineering and problem solving abilities are top notch. Keep up the great work. Rock On.
Been welding for 30years Brother that tig weld was perfect good job
Found y’all’s channel this September and I have been binge watching every episode from the beginning to see how far y’all have come is a amazing keep up the good work
i love the new shop and while you may say it was for you and more projects, no in fact through the commentary you have proven it was in-fact for the dogs, and I fully support this.
Awesome stuff is gonna come out the new workshop, Such a talented bunch of grafters!
I'm 68 years old and I've been a fabricator for most of my life and I just want to tell you that the work you do is just absolutely fabulous!
This build looks insane, and I love how prominently Ethan’s sweet welds are on display in this video.
You, my friend, have turned into a world class fabricator. You definitely need to build something to show at SEMA next year. Your work will rival a lot of top fabricators there.
Watching you work on Cad, and what the ArcDroid puts out is Art!
Mate your workmanship is a real credit to you. You do amazing work, its pure art. Love watching you create the things you need. Art mate, you are talented.
Absolutely excellent video guys. 50 mins felt like just 10. Also love the dog interactions, makes me smile every time. Can' wait to see more.
Excited to role play the heck out of the weekend!!!! Spreading Love across the wastelands 6mm at a time!!!
I love what y'all do. Good old Idaho boy myself. As a machinist though, watching you measure a bearing fit with a pair of calipers hurts so bad!!! Bearing fits are incredibly tight tolerances and should be measured with micrometers. Can't wait to see the finished build. Wish I could ride up there and meet y'all someday.
Been watching you for years. Underrated champions on RUclips from Ethan’s metallurgy wizardry to the cinematic sorcery video editing. Best channel on RUclips.🤘Send It!
Thanks man! We really appreciate that!
I really hope u guys upload more videos of this build pretty soon because it looks like a bad ass bike so far and I really want to see how it turns out and performs and runs when it's complete
that's so premium and sick!!! I cant wait to see it finished
Fabrication skills off the scale with this project, sick vid!
Just love the workmanship!!
Continuing to impress! The production quality has gotten even better lately. Loving the long episodes showing you actually building and the design process. Great sound track as well. Shout out to the boys behind the scenes busting their ass too!
looking awesome bud you guys do amazing work well done!
cant wait see front being done
Gotta love the engine stand your using at the end of the video. Much better than the battery you were using earlier in the video.
Leveled up the editing with this one, good job!
This was so spot on I paused it, rewound it, and made my 2 boys come sit and watch it with me. Social media impact is a huge topic in our house, so thank you for making that.
Your absolutely a savage! Part genius and part nutty. Seen videos you've done in the past but this one has my anticipation on max.
The attention to detail and the execution of everything is honestly astounding.
hey ,,, everything is looking great ! I'm really looking forward to seeing the final outcome and how well it will work !! Looking at the plasma table and seeing what you are making , really hits home at how much math skills can be the determining factor !! You are doing a great job at showing us what skills are needed to produce a part and also how that part will work !! I really enjoy this and I will be looking forward for the next video !!!
I have always loved this channel. I learn a lot from it and I use some of the tactics they use on my go kart I am welding!
10 minutes in and possibly my fav vid so far! So well edited, perfect music, CAD and plasma work so good. All round insane job loving it so much!!
Super excited for this build!!
