Is there no reason why you can't make a plate for each one made and fit them retrospectively as they come to light? I'm sure the owners would love to have the the extra provenance.
It's never to late to start putting a little plate on each start at say number 5. And when you come in contact with the others retro fit a plate . Fantastic bikes.
I think it was a certain Scot that gave you your fame..., wow, look how bad expetiences can sometimes turn out good. Your story must be the Success of the Century. Thanks for all the joy, life lessons and entertainment that I and many many more viewers have had since your YT fame took off. Stay safe and carry on doing what you do best.., being Craig Jones.
It was really good to meet Craig on Friday and I can confirm that I will enjoy the bike and do my best to look after it. I'll try and post up the odd video here & there when I'm out & about
I came across the most magnificent BMW R80 a few years ago in a thread (Bikebrewers). Inspirational and it is yours. Bread and butter is one thing, art is another. I have this bike as a bookmark on my computer, and when all things seem lacklustre, up comes the image of your BMW, and I marvel at the beauty in the world. I have an R75-5, of which I love, however, I can't describe how fantastic I think this bike is. Thanks. Doing what you want to do is going to be mad. All the best.
Well ! You think 1:28 what you think. But your motorcycles are masterpieces of creation. And by what I have seen, through your videos, you are maybe a one in a million bike builder, who put so much thought and effort into each and every build you probably have ever done. Yes ! You need to start putting your own personal monograms on every machine that you conjure up. Your customers can pay you for your time but no one can ever pay you for your creativity. History holds testimony, that many shed build machines have become masterpieces of creation. How I wish I could visit you one day and maybe afford a " DOGHOUSE " custom bobber Royal Enfield.
Hey Craig, Put a badge and number on it now while you have it in your shed. The others will eventually come back again and you can do them then. But start doing it. By the time your up-to #100, you will only be missing the odd one or two and their value will go up exponentially (that’s a bug curve going up). Do it Craig, start living the dream now !
Hi , well presented in all ways , a credit to all those hours put in , a magical machine crafted , by two guys in sheds . Thanks for the trip along the way , ride safe .
Looking forward to the turbo bike build. Really enjoyed what I've seen of it so far. The one bike I'm really itching to see what you come up with is your Russian bike. But I'll be patient lol. Everything you've done so far has been worth the wait. I bet the person who won the GS is still twitching with anticipation. Thanks for the great channel. Way better than the oyb crew. Be safe.
Would love to see a nut and bolt restoration Craig! A war model or the likes would be a great few episodes not many out there (bikes or restoration videos)!
Indeed! An old well-worn Norton WD 16H would do the trick. Fixer-uppers and "shed finds" are still semi-affordable yonder in the UK, and parts not too nightmarish to come by. The 16H may not have been Norton's sexiest model, but it helped win the War and afterwards, as military surplus, got Britain back on the road.
It's like saying goodbye to an old friend when you have to part with something special. Looking forward to your future projects. All the best to you.Terry..
God those things are pretty. Every one of them. Kudos geezer. Edit, I know my way around custom and classic and vintage bikes. I've been working on Brit bikes for over 40 years. The Enfield Bullet engine was always (apart from trials) an engine that flew under the radar, but imo, was always one of the most attractive singles. A magnificent timing cover, possibly never bettered in apearances. Some design features ahead of the game at the time too. Pre unit but bolted up, fixed sprkt centres and primary chain adjustment by a slipper tensioner, all alloy chaincase instead of pressed steel, early use of alloy c/heads and then barrels. Early use of points/battery ignition on a single etc etc... Great bikes.
Pretty little bike and stood the test of time. Never too late to start numbering your builds, maybe a blacksmith type makers stamp or just a number on the frame somewhere. I often bemoaned that I didn't number the first 10 years of custom knives I used to make, but hay, the last 20 years or so of them were all numbered.
there must be folk who watch here, or read the facebook group that work oin the industry where a name plate / date of birth could be created easily. whether its a riveted plate with a name, number, birthday stamped on or something similar, i think itd be a great addition to your builds. stick it out of the way so its not in yer face but to have a nice riveted on plate would be brilliant... your're a true artist craig, whether you think so or not ;)
Love watching your clips, I've done a couple of Enfields and I think they are great. I've just converted a left hand sidecar to right hand. Good job to, the welding was dangerous like the Springer forks you was discussing a while back. Keep up the good work. 👍😎
With your bike's been such a unique build u should be putting some sort of badge and number on. Keep up the good work and videos. Thanks for the entertainment 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yo Craig the owner should be proud, it’s a beauty kidda. Y know high in sight is a wonderful thing, but it’s not always there when we need it, so how you’ve built those bikes up is yr trade Mark n there all unique Craig as well, ad be a proud man to have achieved all that. XX🤠🙏🌈🦋🌎👍🤩✊
Hello Craig, I have only been following you since the beginning of the year so have not yet seen a completed project. All I can say is WOW. Cannot wait to see you complete your next bikes.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane 👍👍, maybe one day you'll get all the enfields together for a photo session . As always , thanks chewy ,see you later mate ,peace ✌
I know it’s been said at some point in time, but every bike this man has built needs to be cataloged as a CRAFTSMAN BUILD not just a Custom bike. Thank You for sharing your talents to all of us in RUclips Land.
Hi Craige, you say you wished you had numbered them. What is stopping you from getting a load of designed numbered badges, and tracking them down, you must have some pics, where people would recognize the bikes to the owners. then arrange a get-together of some sort to fix the badges, to the appropriate bikes, either bond or Rivett. just a thought. I reckon your viewers would get involved in tracking them down. most of all keep doing what you do best. love the Vids mate. Cheers John.
Wonderful looking machine. You could still make the numbered badges, send them to the owners and start numbering the rest. Oh, superb idea, get owners together for a cookout get together/ride and snap photos of them all lined up.
One of the Vintage decal sellers on a certain auction site has decals which you can order with your name or details on "built by" ....... maybe a thought 🤔
Hey Craig you could still number each one from now on. Just count back how many you have done and on the next one just start from there. Nothing wrong with that!
Ever had a defect notice for no front mudguard Craig ? Plod told me although not a mot issue its not allowed under Regulation 63 MV (Con and Use) Regs 1986
Lovely looking bike, especially like the tank. Any chance the Facebook page could be made public, don't have a Facebook account as i don't fall into one of the 2 categories for having one : own a business or are a teenage girl 😄
It’s a real shame you’re not doing the RE’s again for a while Craig… If they ain’t broke, no need to fix ‘em & all that… If they keep an income stream coming in, then game on I say!
Heyhey! You probably answered this question a million times before... but where did you get the hardtail section? Or was it made in-house? Would love a build like this but with a Bullet EFI engine! Very nice bike, well done!
You can never tell what happens to a hobby. Back in 1982 I wanted to build an Ariel trials bike so I made a frame for myself now in 2021 I have just built my self a bike again after making about 180 frames. I did start numbering mine. How about building your self an Enfield trials bike.
good grief those come out nice.. jeez like to have one to pop about town what not, man, I'll go grocery gettin on that, back pack, hale yea far as documentation and badges you can go back and make the badges,a dn documents everything you know, then create a registry that stays with your shop, and maybe you can put it online as well.. the owners you can send the certificates of authenticity, the badges and paperwork to, from then on hand it over with the bike.. if there is enough demand for these they might be worth pumping out in numbers and shipping em off? obviously have to be sold with limited warranties and so forth.. maybe hire a crew to build em, hale you dune all the hard work why let it die? these are very nice and would go over big in India and Asia, oh boy...

Who ever owns one of your Enfield’s have in their hands a piece of art in my opinion.
Is there no reason why you can't make a plate for each one made and fit them retrospectively as they come to light? I'm sure the owners would love to have the the extra provenance.

No time like the present Craig; start stamping & numbering them from now on 👌🏻👍🏻
a little brass plaque with the info on would be class :)

Truly a beautiful piece of workmanship. If only that bike could tell us the whole story of all it’s years. 👍🏼
Beauty, quality and function. A parcel of gorgeousness!😍
... Yes... And the bikes not bad either!

Mate, you do an incredible job on the bikes you build. Bloody marvelous bikes they are too.
That combination of colours and the chrome rims really works well.!

Imagine a Doghouse Customs ride in, getting them all together again.
I think number 1 was my favourite, lovely.

you know what you call them bikes Craig Jones builds...Timeless. They'll always look awesome
Love the knowledge on these bike you should do a talk on the Indian Enfields 👍

There’s no time like the present start designing your perfect emblem we have more faith in you than you say you have in yourself rock young fella.

Beautiful bike Craig, looks great with those rims. Perfect little machine for pootering about on👍🏻😃
Can’t wait to be plodding around on mine !! Keep up the great work mate. The restoration would be brill !

nice one craig, ps, barbers have now opened pal.
Love to see you doing a classic restoration now that would be awesome❤️
I know it’s been said at some point in time, but every bike this man has built needs to be cataloged as a CRAFTSMAN BUILD not just a Custom bike. Thank You for sharing your talents to all of us in RUclips Land.
Beautiful bike. I love the chrome wheels.

Badges with a 7/8" clamp for handlebars.
Beautiful bike, so clean looking.... love it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
What a superbly pretty looking bike! Absolutely lovely!
You’re bike builds are as good as anyone else’s out there,the new owner must be proper chuffed.
Yup
One of the Vintage decal sellers on a certain auction site has decals which you can order with your name or details on "built by" ....... maybe a thought 🤔
Hey Craig you could still number each one from now on. Just count back how many you have done and on the next one just start from there. Nothing wrong with that!
Would love to see the turbo bike finished 👍
Craig its beautiful bike
good morning
Nice wee bike
Ever had a defect notice for no front mudguard Craig ? Plod told me although not a mot issue its not allowed under Regulation 63 MV (Con and Use) Regs 1986
Where is hepcat?
Lovely looking bike, especially like the tank. Any chance the Facebook page could be made public, don't have a Facebook account as i don't fall into one of the 2 categories for having one : own a business or are a teenage girl 😄
Aye ooop Craig (& Blue)! Have you thought about tracking the down RE's you've built & retro-fitting an ID/DH Number?
Congrats...Nice job Mr. So now, what is the next project ?
Hi being a rally fan can you please find time to give me some information about your RAC rally plate that hangs in you shed cheers Richard
Very interesting thank you! Number three! 👍😁
Gorgeous
Craig why don't you get some numbered Dog House Custom badges made to attach weld to all your frames. Would become collectors bike in future
It’s a real shame you’re not doing the RE’s again for a while Craig… If they ain’t broke, no need to fix ‘em & all that… If they keep an income stream coming in, then game on I say!
absolutely you should document your an artist imagine if paccasso didnt sign his work
Just perfect mate!
Very nice 👌
espetacular job...saudações do brazil
That's a pretty build. Personally, were it mine, I might find it VERY difficult to part with.
Heyhey! You probably answered this question a million times before... but where did you get the hardtail section? Or was it made in-house? Would love a build like this but with a Bullet EFI engine! Very nice bike, well done!
Hi mate what exhaust do you use on it ?
If you can please provide any info about it
Thanks
Azad
You could offer to authenticate the bikes you have done for the owners, which would be a nice touch
Not too late, reach out on social media, find the guys who bought them.🤔
Hi what frame is it? And the front forks? Please
still lookls great
HEY MATE SHIP IT OVER TO AUSTRALIA FOR ME WILL YA, CHEERS. ANYWAY BEAUTIFUL WORK MATE.
even I do on my builds and they re nothing compared to yours Craig! You definitely need to number them os at least hot stamp something on the seats
I want to know the overall weight of the motorcycle
In how much pounds this motercycle sold ?
What was original model ??
Can I have the back side frame details
What frames are you guys using
I want it !
What engine is it?
maybe most of the owners watch this channel and you can do a recall on all of them and get them plated ! ?
my dream its to own one of your R.E. one day....eheheh dream on!
Hi Craig, what’s the best way to contact you regarding a build?
You can never tell what happens to a hobby. Back in 1982 I wanted to build an Ariel trials bike so I made a frame for myself now in 2021 I have just built my self a bike again after making about 180 frames. I did start numbering mine. How about building your self an Enfield trials bike.
If I owned that I’d ride it every week at least, even if it was only to go to the shops and shit!
Are you still looking to sell that unrestored RE 350 engine & gearbox?
good grief those come out nice.. jeez
like to have one to pop about town what not, man, I'll go grocery gettin on that, back pack, hale yea
far as documentation and badges you can go back and make the badges,a dn documents everything you know, then create a registry that stays with your shop, and maybe you can put it online as well..
the owners you can send the certificates of authenticity, the badges and paperwork to, from then on hand it over with the bike..
if there is enough demand for these they might be worth pumping out in numbers and shipping em off? obviously have to be sold with limited warranties and so forth.. maybe hire a crew to build em, hale you dune all the hard work why let it die? these are very nice and would go over big in India and Asia, oh boy...
👍🏴
me: more regrets live in my country and not able to custom bike like that.
its never to late m8 track them down through dvla get some numbers made up u got number 1 there its your legacy for your kids
200 miles? I don't get it. Who buys a bike that cool and then doesn't frickin' ride it? If I had that bike I'd be riding the wheels off it.
I bet everyone who owns one of your builds watch your channel reach out to them and number them make a badge and send it to them
