      I also agree. Really, really good work. You can tell this guy takes pride in his work, something that's usually lost on the younger generations it seems.

      His planning and home made jigs and templates is so badass. Much better work than some others on RUclips

    All plans wil be available at the end of the series🤟🏼 im thinking 25$ will be a fair price, since it took a lot of work to make them. Im using 35mm tube, but there will also ba a set for 1 1/2 tubing. Thanks for the support everyone!✌🏻

      This is awesome! I can't wait to build one! What are you going to be using for the rear axle? Something custom or some axle shafts attached to tubing with a gear drive?

  • @onefortheroad2291
    @onefortheroad2291 3 года назад +4

    The results would be impressive for any fab shop. The idea this kid is doing all of this with such minimal tools is remarkable! You need to hit up some of the tool suppliers and get some level of sponsorship. What you’d be able to achieve with a decently equipped shop would be insane!

  • @QuadDoc

    There was one part that made me cringe - when you used the level as a hammer to align the rear upper shock posts.

    Great work with a minimum amount of equipment and very straight forward methodology. I thought your "lift the frame" to set up the front lower A frame at an angle (to get some anti dive?) was inspired. Hope you are headed to a really good engineering school- you have the right sort of mind and a genius for practical application!

  • @garygraham105
    @garygraham105 3 года назад

    Really nice work. Count me in.
    Near the end of this video, consider using a "high misalignment" bushing for the rod end where the bolt head is in the way. The bushings fit into the spherical rod end and allow the sphere to turn a couple more degrees for more angle (up to 30*).
    This type of bushing will typically reduce the size of the fastening bolt by 1 size.
    I used this type of bushings on my CBR1000F leaning trike.

    @deadslow201 3 года назад +3

    You should also reconsider front shock upper brackets design. Add a vertical pipe between lower frame and mid frame. And make a triangular bracket for front shock, and weld that bracket to the vertical pipe. (The same way you have made rear suspension arm mounting points.)

    Nice build! Can I give you a tip for welding galvanized bolts or nuts? Just let them soak in a water and citric acid. You can buy the acid as a powder for cleaning coffee machines. You will get much beter welds this way. Greetings from Belgium.

My father and probably your grandfather fought for your standards for the whole world. It is so sad how much of it has been squandered away here in 60 years. Keep safe and healthy and thanks so much for sharing.

    @turbofan67 3 года назад

    Love the design and the methods of manufacture, and admire your skills.
    As a motorcyclist, I have to let you know that the road bike forks you are using for the rear suspension only have about 100mm of travel before the spring binds and bottoms out.
    If you want to get the full travel from your A-arms, you will have to use dirt bike forks that have about 250mm of travel.
    Top job though, well done.
