In this Episode we start to assemble the rolling chassis after welding up the hardtail frame last week. There always seems to be issues after powder coating certain parts. This day is no different.
This Bobber Build Series is sponsored by Tucker.com and SSGear.com
Use your stock axle and use steel washes to get the spacing correct tack weld them together or tape them then take the spaces and your make shift washer stacks and have a shop knock up some new spaces but to the new stack of washes don’t go bending ya frame and so on not sure what to do look up how to space back wheel plenty of vids
Also should of said you need ya motor mounted in for best alignment for the wheel to the drive sprocket on the motor you will sort it it’s not too bad even if ya just take a bit off the stock spacers you got or made out of some round solid steel or alloy and drill for axle and cut down to correct space it’s all able to do at home
Lookn good man! I recommend a temp brace to hold your dimension for your rear axle assembly then weld in new cross member....BRAAAAP!
Don't tap the seals like that, can easily ruin seals and the chrome of the forks (which in longterm ruins the new seals). Use some tubing which fits slightly over the fork-
flirtingdisaster Vaseline and slide hammers are fantastic
There's a special, and cheep, tool for that.
Just get some pvc pipe.
Less than a dollar
Yep some pvc or a seal driver set if ya want to spend money
instead of widening the frame, make a new spacer on the lathe way easer and faster!
looking good. love the colors so far
Rad. --Bird, will you stop..??! Best Ever.
almost made the same post .. you beat me to it lol
Hey man thanks for the video, this is going to be a cool build I can tell!
when you welded on the hardtail, I saw that...you only put the rear axle bolt in versus with the hub and spacers, thus causing the rear wheel not being able to go on, but you learn from your mistakes...we all do...anyways great job overall, love watching your fabrication skills
So true! Is not whether or not you make mistakes, it is how you address the mistakes that you WILL make. And after that, you have what you really needed the first time . . . experience! How do you think the experts got to be so good?
Enjoying the build!
@@donovanlucibello379 ...?
It's whether you makes mistakes or not. And you just made one...😇
Reused cotter pins on rear brakes?!! Stretched the frame instead of making or buying smaller spacers, I guarantee the wheels are not aligned. Hammering in fork seals with an allen wrench really? Every Moto tech should own a set of fork seal drivers.
And ya want them spaces so you don’t have to flex the frame in or out to get the wheel and spaces back in on the wheel
Ahh it looks incredible so far!
looking good man! just don't forget to flip the sprocket before you apply lock tight. that kind of protector goes outside
Maybe it will help you in the future in another project. There is a rubberized tape, created specifically for surfaces not to be painted, when the piece is placed in the oven. It works great.
Transparent green. Tape "tesa 50600".
Hey dude not jumping on the hate train. I can see where your going with it. The problem is your not taking enough time to think things through. For starters you need your ending in your frame to setup up your sprocket alignment which you now can't do without affecting your wheel offset because uve welded the frame. Also I would just have somone turn a new spacer on a lathe it's cheap and doesn't take long. Like I say I like the direction but slow your roll. Take a step back and most importantly THINK 🤔 before you put yourself in a spot

Yup, should’ve left the engine in the frame, waited until the forks and wheels were back from coating, refitted the front forks, chopped the frame, fitted the rear wheel to the conversion kit, checked the alignment between the front/rear wheels and the engine, tacked it, rechecked the alignment, then welded it.
The thing is it would’ve of been any harder, just a slight wait, then a plumb/ laser line from each side of the rear tyre to the front tyre, and a laser chain alignment tool (master link wouldn’t even need to be put in, the chain could literally of just been draped over the top of the front and rear sproket).
To really get it perfect he’d need some kind of bench with clamps to brace both the wheels bolt upright, but it’s definitely possible without if you’re careful.
Plenty of people warned him this would happen, it’s pretty common for the centre of the back axle to not be the centre of the rear tyre!
i like the way you make video details all the work hope to see more video, im from philipines
it is looking good but bending frame isn't right way to fit the rear wheel put engine back in make sure it lines up and that rear frame section not pulled by the welding i have built many of these style bikes hate those after market frame hardtail kits never fit 100% don't assume it is right. i build my own because of this problem
The acute action angle of the spring unit was a non starter mate ,im all for back street engineering but amateurs need to study basic engineering principals to save wasting their time . Study is fun too
Moto Pilot, Haters gon hate brother! Keep up the good work!
"I'll add lock tite and torque it down later ..." and "for now, I'll just put in the old ones ..." Those would be "famous last words" for me ... ;)
Beautiful ❤️
do u know what u doin?
I like it
The build looking great 😍 but that frame tilit made me jump a bit😅😲
Just out of sheer curiosity, why did you keep the original backbone?
love ur work my brother beautiful work one love Red
Looking good bro 🤙
New name for the episode. "I'm just going to re-use this, I'll replace it later" haha nice work man keep it up!
Can you please tell us what kind of air filters you put on it I can’t find it anywhere
Hey man! I could really use some help here. I've started on my first ever bobber build. I decided to go with a 1982 Yamaha xj750 Maxim. I loved the way the bike felt and how the tank sat. My biggest issue is finding a way to make it actually sound good. Currently it has some sort of... Wheezing sound? Not like it's broken. That's just how these bikes sound. Is there some way to reverse this? I don't want to cruise down the street and have the damn thing sound like a scooter. Any suggestions or tips?
Oh I didnt know that Tommy lee does motorcycles :0
working my way through this series and really enjoying it!
just spent 20 minutes trying to find the name of the song playing in the back ground at around 11:20 but cant find it!
any body know?
just cut the spacer.....
Hi, I'm from Brazil and I really like your channel. I'd like to see you turn a harley iron 48 into a bobber, you're really fucking dude.
Tack weld, assemble, adjust and then finish weld. You also need to find another powder coater. There are plenty of powder coaters who deal specifically in motorcycles.
Had to use a dentist vacuum to clean up my saliva!
basic stuff looks so hard damn think your build through first .......clearly not a fab guy
Dampers NOT Dampeners
Something going wrong... )
Ага, ощущение, будто чувак впервые вообще все это делает и даже не видел до этого ни разу как это делается и каким инструментом. Когда забивал сальники и пыльники вилку, у меня с каждым ударом молотка глаз подергивался. А то, что не измерил расстояние ушей рамы, очень странно. И опять же, получилось так, ставь колесо по центру и втулки вытачивай по размеру, зах раму то раздвигать? И кстати, странно, что внутри дисков не увидел втулок между подшипников...
Please purchase the correct tools for fork assembly😬
get r done.
Why did you use those ugly ass handlebar clamps.? They got that p**** look to them. Just go from the top of the fork tubes. And eliminate that factory crap.
My friend,you do not have your priorities straight- first you build the entire bike to the last nut and bolt, then you refinish everything.Also some of your work is only suitable for a" minibike".50 yr. pro.-Sundquist Norton - you tube.
This I agree with...
