Hi again, When you get the new light cut the unwanted tab of using an ultra thin cutting disc. Hammering will break it 99% of the time as they are spot welded on. If you want to use a hammer and thin chisel then sand the face of the tab where it joins the casing so you can see the spot weld spots. Gently drill the spot weld till it get to the case, but not all the way through. That will remove enough metal to chisel off. But again, if I were you I'd just use a cutting disc...Good luck with it..
I really admire your approach, a lot of channels don't show stuff going wrong. You could take the for the bold approach and bolt parts together and call yourself a bike builder, but I think doing what you're doing is how it should really be done, actually making and modifying things to get them to work. Keep it up!
Thanks man! I just take it a step at a time and really like to get stuck in with it! Ant has helped me out a fair few times. we are all learning though :)
Segestion for the tank. On my xjr1300 I sanded it back to bare metal, then sand blasted it with kiln dry sand and gave it 2 coats of 2k laquer over some Yamaha decals. It looks real good.
Hi Jish. Great work. Don't let the set backs worry you too much. Happens to us all at times. For your lower yoke and stem assembly. Are you sure you didn't try to press the stem out in the wrong direction? It would almost certainly be a press fit assembly. I've just done this for a different bike, both stem and yoke were steel. It let go with a bang as it was a tight interference fit. I was trying to pause your video to see the detail. I'm sure the stem is removed by pressing down from the top. Support the bottom side of the yoke with a spacer that the stem can pass through and then press the stem down from the top (take care to protect the threads). The bearing and spacer will come off at the same time. Maybe check your new one for this if you still want to have the aluminum portion anodized and dyed. All the best and good luck. 👍
this is exactly what i thought but looking at the actual stem there is a recess where the ally cast sank in, so pushing it from the top or the bottom would have given the same outcome. its not the end of the world as i now have a new one and i will make it work one way or another :D
All part of the fun! I put my newly painted engine in, and when I fitted the tank, a petrol leak took a load of paint of the engine side case below! 😡😡😡 Nice to see an honest video - you could have sorted it all off camera and not owned up! Keep up the great work 😊
You need access to a machine shop. I would turn down the steering stem to a nominal dia. Next, bore out the triple clamp, then have a press bushing made to adapt the stem into the bottom triple clamp (yoke to you) you could even weld in the aluminum bushing then press the stem in place.
Great to see the bad right along with the good! We've all been there my Good Friend! You're taking it in stride! Much better than when you were building the 125 and were getting stressed. I've said it already, you're learning by leaps and bounds and not just about building, but about attitude pushing forward. Props! Cheers Jish! Zip~
Thats it man! All builds come with their obstacles and don't expect them to go smoothly all the time haha! I'm happy with my progress and the problems can be easily fixed :)
One step forward, two steps back sometimes for all of us. The end result is always worth it. Were you planning on smoothing out cast marks on lower triple before the powder coating?
Are you sure the spindle can’t be removed from the bottom yoke without damaging it. Are you taking it apart just to anodise the bottom yoke or so you can put a new spindle in to suit the frame? If it’s to alter the spindle this could be done with the bottom yoke still attached no problem. I know someone who could sort that no problem.👍
I am pretty sure yeah :( I took it to be pressed out and it ended up pushing a heap of ally out from the yoke. we both looked at it in confusion but upon closer inspection you can see the yoke was cast around the spindle. I was taking it out to be anodised but this is no longer an option. either way I will still make it work and look good!
Send me a picture. They normally have a snap ring in there. I would be very surprised if they have cast around the spindle. Manufacturing wise this would be costly. Two different processes you see. Cast for one bit them machined, then the spindle would be turned. If it was welded after fair enough like a CBR one is. I would like to see a picture if possible.
It’s VERY hard buddy. I only get a few hours each week on evenings to do this. I put so much effort into these videos so i am a little offended by this comment. Try and make a video yourself thats put together well, entertaining and all within say 5-7 hours and see how you get on
@@jishh sorry i didn't want to hurt your feelings i always support you it's just i gave an opinion that I'd have enjoyed a little longer video still this is great and I know it's hard to find content 😊❤❤
I would love to see all the casting lines shaved off the triple trees. Nobody does it but it cleans up forks so nicely

Top down shot on that tire work was a thing of beauty.
Keep going my Friend, your almost there, we'll always be there to support you ✌️
and that's what makes this community so awesome
Me too, count me in❤️❤️
I love it, I have an 82 Yamaha Seca 650. Going to watch all your vids on this bike build. Love your Stuff! Thank you!

Nice! Always love bare metal tanks and wanted to do this on my CB125 actually!
I however already have a colour and style in mind for this tank 😉

@@jishh that's a hassle. I'm sure whatever you decide will turn out great. Looking forward to seeing your progress. 👍
Your videos deserve more viewers and likers😁😁

Hi mate, I reckon the stainless light bracket would look great polished. Stainless will polish up like chrome.....
Sickener man, but that's the joys of it!

That would be handy, but i just bought another one for £12 so cant complain haha! either way the job is getting done and will look smart :)
Some days everything just goes backwards, its how you recover that counts. Looking forward to the next Video!
Thanks dude! its just another week in the workshop and im glad i can share it with you guys

I feel your pain. Glad you’re still upbeat about it. You will get there
Yep! these things happen, either way we are moving in the right direction!
Jish definitely. It’s looking awesome
Hi Jish, I've had many days of problems and it's the nature of the game, but we carry on and get there in the end. Keep up the good work.
One of the channels whose videos I like before watching.
really appreciate it my friend!
@@jishh this is me who asked you about the tyres on cb125. 😁
Keep your chin up lad, you'll get there.
Agora sim, esse motor ficou show brother 🙌🤗🇧🇷
I hate to have reached the last playlist video. Looking forward for the follow up!
Cheers from Mexico, m8.
PS: Your video editing is THE best.
Onwards and upwards. Very inspiring 👍
Good attitude and good advice! This is common with custom one-off stuff.
its good to have a positive attitude especially when others watch the videos :) thanks for the comment man!
Good work mate , really taking shape now
it is! bit by bit it will become more of a bike again!
Looking good mate, keep your chin up. Great attitude though, pressing on is the only way to get it done when things go wrong.
exactly that man! thank you!
One step forward, two steps back sometimes for all of us. The end result is always worth it. Were you planning on smoothing out cast marks on lower triple before the powder coating?
I was planning on having it anodised but may have to go down the powder coat route. So may do just that!
Bummer but yeah, shit happens. Fear not, I’ll keep watching your vids. 👍🏽
Really appreciate it Chris! I got some good stuff coming up and really motivated to get this bike built!
That intro is awesome
Thanks buddy!
a work in progress, keep up the good work.
Indeed it is! I will get there soon enough!
please break that front edge to blend it a bit better. My OCD is going insane
I know how you feel. I was rebuilding the waterpump on my k1100 and broke the new seal and a bolt for the cover snapped.
ouch! always the way with these builds!

Feel for you, I waisted the other day making brackets and cocked it up twice!!!
and I bet you stuck it out and still got it done! that's the main thing ;)
I ran out of sheet metal 😫
Chin up mate
meh I'm already over it! motivated more than ever to get this bike built
Chin up brother thx u for the video 👍👍
Is that a 650 frame with a 750 engine?
Would love to help you buiding that bike while drinking a good Beer :-)
Sound advice
i had to buy the same headlight, please don't buy it from ebay, it's the only place where i can find it LOL
I know it's hard but try making bigger videos 😅 just being greedy

you talk a lot and show very little about the projects ... it seems that you want to make yourself last the project in the absence of others
Further from the truth mate...
