- It's been a long time since you guys have seen this reverse trike build but today I'm working on trying to get it ready to paint and finish. I just need to finish a couple of things like install the radiator fan and rear brakes. I did want to originally replace this old CBR 600 engine with something better but I gave up looking for a better engine.

Yellow with red looks fantastic
No paneling!!! I love the raw look. I love that you can see everything, it adds to the character!
If you do replace the engine should look at any of the engines out of can-am trikes. They all have reverse and you can get 600cc for less then 600$ +shipping. They also have 900cc, 1000cc and 1330cc, plenty to choose from and can be found for "low cost".
To get a more efficient cooling I would keep more distance from the shroud to the cooler and build a frame around it. For the Temp.-sensor build a connector and put it between the cooling hose, so you don't need to drill a hole into the cooler and get metal particle into the system. Greetings from Germany!
Can't wait to see all of your fabrication videos! Seeing as how you know more than Chris.
Damn this man needs a shop...soo creative
seriously!
I am confident he could raise the money via this channel if he wanted. I wish he would.
Cool build, move the fuel pump lower, so it’s gravity feed by the tank and you see a big improvement it how well it works.
pump does not need gravity..............
Add a good fuel filter while you're at it and stop having to clean the carbs.
@Broken_AK47 Most inline pumps do need to be mounted lower than the tank. They don't pull fuel well, only pump. I found this out the hard way on my last buggy build, burning out 3 pumps until I read it up😂
@@Broken_AK47 most electric pumps won't self prime their design means they don't create a lot of suction when dry hence why they are generally mounted below the fuel tank or at least low but here the pump is basically level with the top of the tank so might be fine when full or when used regularly but can't prime itself on low fuel after sitting.
ah those weirdo pump. yeah i got 2 of them.
just trash them.
Crazy he brought this one back I was watching this build all day
Next time you park it for an extended time, drain the carbs! I left fuel in my generator for about a year and the carb was pretty much junk after that. Luckily a new carb is about $13 and in 5 minutes it was running great again. Now, after I use the generator, I run it out of fuel before storing it. No more issues.
AIso i suggest also do not use any type ethanol fuel in small engines
Ceconite fabric would make a quick light paneling.
Ceconite is a lightweight fabric aircraft covering that. Is heat-shrunk to a frame and once properly treated can be painted just like sheet metal.
He just comes up with the coolest builds ever, imagine if others were as creative as him, he should take that to a Polaris Slingshot ride 🔥💯🇺🇸
This man was the reason I started my own channel🙌🏽
I do feel a lot of people are creative like he is - what they lack is a willingness to take a leap and build a career out of that creativity. I know I don’t have the balls to lol
Lol, sadly how 99% of public school zombies are just down right stupid not able to string a original thought together or hold an idea over 3min to think things through. Never coming to ur own conclusions. On a fundamental level never getting to ur own conclusions. Media, "officials" and "experts" will rip them things straight through ur spineless bodies. Generally why psycadelics more and more is getting used as psychopharmica and as treatments and used world wide but everything good for u now adays is illegal and made synthetic by a very few families owning everything u think u own and work for. And they wont be mentioned in any official media.. Sus to say The least, but obviously ppl just dont give a damn. Price increase by 500% - Who cares, ppl just keep buy and more of it, and think change just will come by voting on something time After time getting exposed as fraudulent and rigged.. But not next time or next person Who defenitly wont be a staged plant. Nope! Soon it literally will be too late, rights would only be a destant memory.. But at least The majority had anxiety anf was depressed af until that moment. Living life to The fullest.. With illusion of free will and freedom. 👮♀️👩🎓🌈💉🙈💏
the concept of a trike isnt new tho
@@MrMikedejeunerThat is true, but his looks more thoughtful because it's hand made.
Thank you so much for working on that project again, thought you gave up , it's the kind of project that interests a lot of people, mostly if you try to do more than just painting it etc..
Inline fuel pumps work best when mounted either inline with bottom of tank or under it. I found out the hard way by burning out 3 of them on last buggy build😉
I , too, agree with the red frame. If your only 2 choices on the secondary color are white and gold I vote for white.
Was building my own trike in conjunction with yours, stopped messing with it at about the same time. Complete coincidence…. Did get to drive it though and it was great! I may just have to finish mine now…. Thanks for getting back to this. You do fantastic work and build great things. Keep with it!
My weekend is now complete. Thank you for the video!
So glad to see another video of this thing. I always loved this build.
Leave it naked man, gives off a Ariel Atom vibe, I’d drill holes in the tubes and run the cables/hoses through them, make a panel above your knee with a visor to protect the gauges, add some ductwork to guide air into the rad and toss in a panel filter or some pods on the air intake, it might help with the stutter.
Frame paint, yes bright red, and gold accents like the old school 90’s skylines had.
Awesome videos, keep up the good work
I think the coolant overflow tank needs to be higher so when it blows coolant into the tank the tank will fill up but not be able to self drain back into the radiator❤ probably get away with turning out the air mixture screws about half a turn to get rid of the bogging when you stab the throttle.
The overflow thank is actually much lower on the motorcycle.The system actually sucks the fluid when it's needed.
You want it to pull fluid back into the radiator.
for the radiator shroud for the fan, I've seen some with surplus holes covered with a half fixed piece of rubber to act as a sort of passive baffle in the even that the radiator is getting enough airflow that the fan is not producing a low pressure zone. Might be good to implement since the majority of the radiator is blocked off otherwise.
What a blast from the past! Actually, I think this project got me hooked on your channel. 😎
same
Same same
This is why I think you should paint the frames before you are finished. The time you spend landing off rust is mire time than if you had to re-weld something that was painted. You need to space the radiator shroud away from the radiator some or you are just blocking off that area from air flow.
Yeah red and black! Thanks for all your effort! We appreciate all your cool builds!
Fenders all around. Red and teal. No panels, you have Atom Arrow feel going on. In NC you could register it as a custom build.
Red/silver and a small part black… as the color scheme of those old Honda racing times!!
🤘🏻👽
Just a friendly tip, when your going to let an engine that runs on carburetors sit for any length of time there's a proper way. Add some oil additive to the gasoline, my preferred is marvels mystery oil, and then start the engine up. Turn off the fuel line shotoff while the engine is running and let the carbs run dry. They will store way better this way. Hope this helps you have to tear them open less
mud guards front and back
put grease on all your contacts, all metal surfaces that need to be protected against moisture like master cylinders
put grease into your switches to keep condensation out
there's special electric stuff for that but your white/transparent grease will work fine for that, too
I think it will look great by painting the main chassis with bright red (according to your choice) and other parts of the frame with bumble bee yellow...
Yum! McDonalds does sound good!
I think the red cage with black wheels and then some white accents would be super clean!
I'd try to make some pipes that fit the airbox openings and go in at least a few inches. Then at the other end they could be equipped with a pair of basic "power filters". The engine needs "resonance" in the intake to work at lower RPMs and especially to have a better throttle response right from the idle.
Finally!!! I have been waiting for this project to return. By far the best and most interesting. Keep up the good work.
His impatience with these builds has dwindled down substantially compared to his older videos, now a days he seems to just rush through everything just to get these projects drivable. Some things he does now is halfassed.
Instead of going through everything and making sure things work the way they should, as long as it "Sorta" works he's happy with it.
You can always add plastic paneling that would look cool as well I was thinking about either red inside bars black outside paneling or Red Front paneling/ white rear paneling half an half as well as plastic wheel fenders to match the outside paneling it's whatever color you decide I was just putting an idea out there hopefully you use it it would be cool to know my idea is apart of the project thanks for sharing
I like this idea!
Keep hunting for a CBR600 f4i engine, the last engine based on the engine you have. In some countries this engine was available to 2012 or so (look at CB600 Hornets too with the upside down forks)
Straight engine bolt in with EFI.
Just make sure you get the ignition key with the security chip in it for the HISS. Otherwise you will be hunting for another ECU.
Youve gained a lot of knowledge over the 2yrs this has been sitting and im sure you will improve on some things.
"Iron Man" Red & Gold Bro 👍🏼😉
Man! Your fabrication is just awesome
I think it looks pretty cool with all the exposed bars especially once it gets painted
I vote to change the rear suspension to some kind of 4 link set up. Now that it's standard wishbone suspension in the front, instead of the leaning over design it originally was, it needs something interesting going on with it. Maybe some kind of 4 link that surrounds two car wheels in the centre at the back. So basically like a giant 4 link swing-arm.
He's not going to change it it's built how he wants it.
@@jerrywilcox9890He's changed setups before. He completely rebuilt the front suspension on the Grave Ninja.
I agree with you based on all the fabrication videos you have on your channel.
Paint it red and black. And the CV carburetor on that bike needs some resistance in the air filter box to work as they should, because the slide inside the carburetor is vacuum operated. so when you have almost none resistance, the engine will ned a high RPM to generate enough vacuum to rise the slides. try to put a sponge in the intake holes of the air filter box and se if that helps.
Man it sounds good, don’t mind seeing some older builds come back
Burn outs never get old!
Chris…. You should switch over to ethanol-free fuel so you don’t have to clean your carbs every time you pull the engines out of storage. Hope to see you at Mini Mayhem next month at Busco Beach!
You should skin this thing! This is the perfect project to learn how to fiberglass!
As for paint Red and Bronze or Charcoal Grey Graphite.
5:30 if you press and hold the red exclamation point, you can bypass the auto jump protection and you can use it like a normal lead acid jump pack, the power will stay on until you power the unit down
I love ur videos. Every sunday I watch them all. I will keep saying this. Shop is needed! Lets keep supporting this creative man !
Red and black would look good. I would consider a small rear fender just enough to keep the dirt and water off you while driving.
Fenders all around! Getting water and dirt in your face is no fun.
Literally my favorite project. Inspired me to design (and hopefully fab) a reverse trike hybrid, basically just an electric transmission so i can maximize suspension travel.
If you keep having issues with the way that engine runs, check the fuel pump. I think it's not pumping the way it should. It should be putting out a steady stream and pressure. It looked like it was just putting out spurts of fuel.
So if you use a vacuum gauge on each carburetor individually or if you have enough of them you can put one on each carburetor at the same time and then you just adjust the mixture screw so the vacuum is is equal while they are running the best way is to get a flowmeter teu you and Amazon both have them and they are very awesome to use and make things very easy
I love your welding and lathe machine skills
Put some pod filters on the front of the airbox so it can't gulp more air than it gets fuel, and like a comment earlier said drop the fuel pump below the tank so it also gets gravity fed too.
This is the hardest working man on RUclips.
Yes pannel some of the side and the front so you can do a small low profile windshield.. lookin good bud!!
Bright red frame with the yellow shocks would go crazyyyyy also secondary color I think white would look good so like the A arms/swing arm white might be kinda cool, but if you went bright purple frame with white accents with the yellow shocks as a accent color would go hard af😁
This project made me watch your channel.
Looks like somthink ive been dreaming of making for years,metalic blue fram,and pearlesent panals and ducts n vents n spoiler and mudgaurds!
I like all your builds!
Agreed that carb engines can be very picky. Synthetic fuel works great in anything carbed and stored for a period of time(alkylate fuel I think the kind i use). It has like 4 times the shelf life of pump gas.
For seasonal equipment, i drain the bowl and tank. Run some of that thru it, and store it like normal. I haven't pulled a carb apart since I've started using it. You get it at equipment rental stores and it isn't cheap.
We need a return to the homemade metal lathe project.❤
He finished that a looong time ago.
That thing looks like so much fun.
You might like to add a reverse gear. Using an electric motor for this is a simple option. The Semog cross karts do this very well using a small starter motor engaging with a sprocket mounted on an extension to the transmission output shaft. You can use the neutral indicator sensor wiring to make sure that reverse can only activated when the transmission is in neutral.
Weld a trailer receiver on the front so you can move it.
ATF on the throttle cable 👍🏻
26:02 with the shroud tight to the radiator you are only pulling air over a very limited area.
My suggestions. Flaps on radiator shroud for more airflow when moving. Throttle body injection if carbs are still a problem. Hybrid (smaller engine plus electric motor) as a backup. If you desire to continue.
I use mistery oil in all my bikes, generators, and cars. Also add fuel stablelizer if keeping the fuel in the tanks. But i run it a little heavy on mistery oil before i shut it down to keep the carburetors lubricated, then i drain the fuel tank and each carb bowl if i know its not going to run for a while.
Add some gas a year later, and my generators and bikes fire up every time without issue. And my bike is carburarated.
Instead of red you should paint it baby blue or teal. Red and white or red and black would be sick though. Love the work man. Keep it up Chris.
on an added note the noco boost will and can act like a battery if you disconnect the leads and hold the red button it will provide power without a battery just a helpful tip
In my personal opinion, red and white with no panelling would look awesome.
love your work man
This is awesome it's yours do whatever you want to it
Red and silver! Red frame with silver paneling would be sweet
The radiator overflow tank needs an overflow itself. I didn't see one installed. This tube is where steam and excess water will come out if/when the engine gets too hot, so it should be directed away from the driver area.
great video as always for your paneling you could try fiberglass panels they would be nice and light
I think you could add white opaque 3/16 plastic body panels. That would be light weight and your secondary color without having to paint. Win win.
Pretty good proyect!! A bodywork would look right. You may make with fiberglass or carbon fiber
5:23 If you hold down on the ❗ button on the Noco boost for a few seconds it will click and flash lights at you. That disables the reverse polarity safety allowing you to jump a completely dead battery. (Don't let the leads touch after doing this.)
And that engine sounds amazing
Put flaps on the radiator shroud the fan will suck them closed but at speed the ram air will pass through the flaps for better cooling! I saw it on one of Rob Dahm's but it's probably a little too much effort for this project haha
The coolant in the oil is probably from the water pump seal. Replace the shaft, bearing and both seals.
Paneling is extra expense costing time and materials,but when your out cruising around getting hit by stones,sticks and debris that paneling was probably worth every penny.
I'd love to see this thing w/ a red frame, full length black panels and white accents..... That would look so sick w/ a front splitter and a spoiler on the back too. 😃❤️🖤🤍
One of your coolest project, good to see it back, but I think you really need to open some big holes in the fan mount on the radiator, or the air flow will decrease a lot
This is one of my favorite builds of yours mostly because it is something I would like to do someday. I would say add panels and I would love to see this on a road course someday. I am really curious how it would handle
Holy hell! I've been waiting on this to come back forever!! 😄
With some side panels and some front panels you may get it registered for road use or just track days
FYI for you need more distance between your shroud and radiator your shroud is actually closing off all the radiator except for the fan area running your fan continuously will kill your battery and your alternator
Carbs need syncing also the air/fuel mix needs to be adjusted. If the air box is larger than the OEM turn the air screw in a bit. Also the fuel pump needs to match the flow requirements of the engine carb pulse pump.
I was just thinking about it the other day. Nice to see you back at it. Mike c
31:32 The bottom bar on the front bumper would be easy to move upwards to improve ground clearance. I can see it digging in to the ground.
Fuel filter pre pump, lower the pump to the bottom of tank and carbs need balancing
the fan cowl is going to block air flow through the radiator needs to stand off a little, and its only running on 3
When you finish building that radiator you should build some air scoop to dress some air to the radiator. It probably will help it out cooling when you're hauling down the road. At least you can direct air to the radiator
Red and a dark, hammered bronze would look good in my opinion. That, or red and gold.
I love how you spend months and even years developing these machines just for them to end up rusting under a tarp
Master cylinders all new...NICE!
A few words about fan shrouds from an expert in AZ where we are happy with 220-230 F operating temps because we live in an oven.
On your application mounting the electric fan *flush* with the radiator *on the hot side* with the cool side open would have worked fine.
Making a full-size shroud changes everything. The shroud and fan need to stand off the fins by about an inch but be *perfectly sealed* to the core all the way around. (I think you have a small amount of stand-off but I couldn't really tell). Without the seal and stand-off, a full shroud will block off half the radiator and cause overheating. With the seal and stand-off 100% of the radiator will get airflow and cool at max efficiency at low speed, however at high speed or long hill climbs you are limited to the max amount of airflow the fan can produce with virtually no help from ram air. The Germans fix this by putting rubber flap valves over holes on the outside of the shroud. They get sucked closed as soon as the fan starts but will blow open at high speed for max ram air assistance. This would work well on your shroud because it is at an angle that will hold the flaps closed unless massive amounts of ram air overpower the fan.
In summary, make sure your shroud is spaced off the radiator and sealed to it with foam or tape. If the fan moves enough air you are done...unless you go to Glamis Arizona.
add black panels of a mesh material inset from the frame and having either a bright red or a white cage/frame would look great in my opinion.
If I remember right the older cbr's have 3 lines around the oil filter, 2 of which are coolant one is oil. Or you have a bad head gasket
On that battery booster when hooked to a dead battery hold down the I button for a few seconds and it will come on.
For me I'll say aluminum panels
Then paint the frame red and the panels white
Probably u can also try converting the engine from cabureted to fuel injected
I'm sure it would be a fun project
If you press and hold the button it will force it to send power I had to figure that out as well 👍
Amazing project
It starts but never ends 😊
But that’s why we always have such great content here 😅
