Thank you very much Ray. I appreciate your support.
Have a good weekend
Absolutely amazing design and workmanship. Really well done.
Thank you very much sir!!
Coming from you I'm gad and honored!
Cheers
That's awesome! Very well designed and built! I love springer front ends.
Thank you very much Bruce. Coming from you it REALLY means a lot to me. I am honoured. Tks for visiting btw :)
Hey, you're very talented at what you do!
Thanks Bruce . You too :)
@@BK42Cycles i need a Set of 'Rockerbolts' can't find a set under 149€, thats too much for me. Where can i find some low priced like on that frontend?
@@mistersimple1986 Hi my friend.
I used those as rockers boats (Road Seat Bolt 22mm - SE93622 about 3 pounds):
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Oxford-Bicycle-Cycle-Bike-Replacement-Allen-Key-Road-Seat-Bolt-22mm-SE93622/302882142496?epid=4023746668&hash=item46852eb920:g:ArgAAOSwDOlbmoKp:rk:163:pf:0
I used a metal glue to keep them in place - It is not necessary, but it make it safer.
They are strong enough for a bicycle forks project, but I wouldn't use them in motorcycle forks.
If you are talking about any other boats please let me know, I will be happy to help you.
Cheers
That is crazy cool you did a bunch of work and it shows. That chopper looks sick
Yeah Paul.. that was quite a lot of working time, but it has came out exactly as projected.
Thanks for watching :)
This is very well done somebody took some time to figure this out
I would want bigger Springs on it it's what I'm seeing need to be improved, for a bigger person more like adults
Thanks for sharing Ken👍💥👍
I knew your community
It is my project :) It definitely took some time.
I had try 3 kinds of springs, these you see in the video are the medium size. The main issue is the 45 degrees inclination.
After almost four years using it is still doing well ( I am not too big ), but I feel the wear of the springs... I'll need to replace them for the next season.
Thanks for sharing your toughs, any feedback and ideas are always welcome!!
Amazing Bike and work. That springer is masterpiece!
Thanks mate. I hade a great time working on it :) how is going with the guitars? Thanks for visiting btw.
BK42 Custom Bikes - Tips & Tricks - DIY Thanks my friend. I thought i was subscribed before. I didnot realize. Sorry fpr that. I had great time with guitars as always.

Bunu duyduğuma sevindim! Herhangi bir şüpheniz varsa bana bildirin. Kanalıma hoş geldiniz!
Şerefe
I've found your channel by mistake, but I do like the way you are transforming and designing things!
I'm working in a new suspension and your video may help with new ideas! You got me!
Hi Jhosep! Glad that you found the channel!!
Be welcome and let me know if you have any question about the building process!
cheers
I came here for inspiration on the geometry of a springer front end yours is awesome! I wish to accomplish a similar one for a 10 horsepower mini bike. Many thanks to you from the deep forests of the north.
Hi Eric, I'm happy you found your inspiration here :)
If you have any question about the springer front, I will be more than happy to help you. I am curious to see your project, is it going to be on your channel?
Cheers
"Sharing idea is always good" This is amazing quote! But not as amazing as the part you built! I love perfect parts and this springer fork is amazing !!! I wish I could buy one from you, Buy am ok with not having one. If I had one of these beautiful parts it would make the rest of the bike junk in comparison. You are very talented person thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much buddy! Unfortunately, I can't make them anymore :(
I appreciate your kind words.
Cheers
Thank you. Excellent video
Thanks Peter, if you need any further support with this build pls let me know :)
Cheers
I am looking to design and build my own Springer forks for my triumph motorcycle. This video has inspired me to continue my designs thank you
Hi Jan :) Thanks for the kind message. I am very glad you like it.
I'm sure your project will be excellent! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. When you get it done I would love to see that! Cheers
Beautiful.
Thank you very much Catherine :)
Brilliant!!!

Wow so easy. we can all make one at home now. Thanks for showing us. Beautiful work mate.
Thanks mate, I wish I could simplify the process th... are you buying your bike 🚲?
@@BK42Cycles not as clevor as you so i will buy one. will put it on my channel :))
I'm thinking of building a mini chopper. Thanks for the video!
Any time! If you need more information / details pls let me know.

A custom front end design makes your bike stands out! Projecting and building a custom fork may be quite complex, but with time and creativity, anyone can do it. I hope this video will help and inspire your production.
If you have any doubts or need more detailed images please let me know.
Caramba Gui, que canal legal!!! Mto bom esse vídeo.... explicou algo complexo, de forma simples... abração, Ivan!!!
Oi Ivan tudo bem? FIz esse canal no final de 2014 quando faziamos as bikes, depois que paramos ele ficou hibernando aqui :) Estou mudando um pouco o foco por que como nao fabricamos mais as bikes fica dificil falar so disso :)
Obrigado ;)
Excellent work! You have inspired me to try this for myself. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks!
Thank you very much Sean! I'm looking forward to see it! If you have any question pls let me know.
Thanks for watching and welcome to my channel :)
NICE!!!
Thanks man :)
great job bro
Thanks buddy .. are you building your bike? Cheers
Love it. Nice job!!!
Thank you Peter! Are you going to build a new front end for your beautiful Bobber? ;)
Thanks for watching and welcome to my channel
@@BK42Cycles Yes I am. I really like your approach. I started making parks for my rat rod much the same you did and have been designing (or considering) making specialized parks for the bike in the same way.
Awesome. It will be nice to watch your production:)
These are the best springer fork designs i have seen, I need to install one on my bike as the rigid fork makes my eyeballs shake at high speed lol. Congrats on such an amazing job, I may tackle your design on my tango bike if you don't mind, I will give you credit for the design of course.
I would be honoured sir!! If you need any help or extra information pls let me know :)
@@BK42Cycles Thanks and I'll definitely need more info once I get started, just looking for a local company to machine and waterjet some parts for me first.
Sure... I will be here... make a good research.. they usually aren't expensive ;)
muito bom o video. esse garfo é espetacular. um dia ponho algo assim nas motas que crio
Obrigado meu amigo. A melhor parte é que custou pouco e ficou muito leve. Cada grama contava no projeto desta Bike :)
Exelente bro
Thank you very much :) You got a very nice cafe racer )
Doing some research for a build myself for a car engine trike and have been pondering some ideas for the front suspension and came across this video and am now curious on if I could replicate this in a higher scale to handle more weight
Hi there :)
I guess you can. Just use stronger metals, specially for the moving parts. The springers will need to be a lot stronger as well.
I'm curious to see your project!
Genius
Thank you Martin, if you have any question pls let me know. Have a good day :)
Excelente vídeo! O que eu fiz ficou bem complicado... O seu ficou bem simplificado... Parabéns!
Olá Jorge, td bem? Obrigado pela visita e comentario :)
Eu tinha que deixar ele muito simples para combinar com o estilo da bike e tambem leve. Os teus projetos sao muito bons! Tem o projeto do seu garfo em algum lugar para eu ver? Parou de postar videos? Abraco
BK42 Channel garfo combinou muito bem com a bike! Estou com uma projeto em andamento e vou colocar o garfo que fiz nesse projeto. Muita correria e trabalho, falta tempo pra fazer vídeos, mas em breve vai ter alguns!
Assim que é bom, queria eu estar produzido também. Quero ver pronto :)
BK42 Channel No Brasil e bem complicado de encontrar peças e acessórios para bikes custom. Ou você faz as peças ou importa de algum país! Quando a bike estiver pronta, lhe envio o vídeo!
Eu sei como é Jorge :( lamentavel .. sobre taxam mtudo!!
Abraco
Nice bike
Thanks, mate, are you building your bike? Cheers
Good job 👍👌 do you do for motorcycles and do you do leaf spring forks as well
Thank you very much Yousif. I appreciate your visit :)
I haven't tried building the same part for motorcycles yet, but this one is very much inspired in the classic chopper bikes. Do you build or customize bicycles or motorcycles?
If have any doubts I will have to help you. Cheers
When is for bike , it's a bit expensive . Beside , looks attractive !
Thanks buddy. I'm glad you like it
Show de bola esta chopper! linda mesmo parabéns camarada..estou assistindo todos os videos do canal e vejo um trabalho de muita qualidade, parabéns. Pena que aqui no Brasil é muito difícil fabricar bikes neste nível, pelo custo, falta de peças e de profissionais também. Fica difícil receber ajuda das empresas para importação e etc. Estou aqui fazendo minha parte na minha humilde oficina de garagem, tetando mudar os conceitos aqui no Brasil. Forte abraço de seu conterrâneo tupiniquim .
Obrigado meu amigo. O seu trabalho é fantastico! Como disse, apesar das dificuldades tem feito muito bem!
Parabens. Se precisar de alguma ajuda em relacao a partes, entre em contato comigo, se eu puder te ajudar de alguma forma, te ajudarei. Eu tambem importo muitas partes, porem realmente na Polonia a politica é diferente.
Estou passando as festas no Brasil, assi mque puder quero ver mais dos teus trabalhos... agora estou com este canal e YT meio parados.
Meu email esta na aba de informacoes. Abracos e boas festas
@@BK42CyclesFico muito contente com seu retorno.......vamos indo batendo um papo sim.... sobre as partes. tenho ideia de ir fundo neste projeto das Chopper para 2019....e tentar alcançar uma qualidade de excelência juntamente com trabalhos diferenciados.... toda ajuda é sempre bem vinda mesmo. ...em relação as parte fiquei interessado na sua proposta e gostaria de saber mais a respeito fazer uma parceria bacana... vou mandar meu contato para seu email e agente vai trocando uma ideias ok?...Camarada Deus abençoe vc e sua família e boas festas e um ótimo ano novo....abraço
@@BK42Cycles Por Favor, me envie seu contato contato para o email: contato@moguecustom.com.br estou tendo dificuldade de encontrar seu email.... fico muito grato...valeu
Legal, vai ficar top a chopper! O seu trabalho é ótimo!
Me escreve sim, no que eu puder te ajudar ajudarei. Eu nao vendo nada, porem tenhos alguns bons contatos.

Your bike is very beautiful to look at, and the workmanship of the fork is impressive. But I wonder, is it a comfortable bike to ride? I have an interest in making a chopper bike too, inspired by your channel.
Hi Richard, thanks for your kind words :)
These bikes are not exactly made to be super comfortable neither fast, but for mine I've made everything focusing the weight and measuring the elements, so the crankset - seat tube matches exactly my legs length, as well the handlebars. During the summer time I ride about 30/35km a day on it and it is still a great ride.
Once in Amsterdam I rode 99km in one day, of course next day everything hearts.
The idea is to build something on your own, something unique, to learn the bicycle mechanics and keep it well maintained. When I need a very comfortable bike for long distances I would use a super light road bike :)
I am very curious about what you are going to build up ;)
If you need help our facebook group is very interactive and the builders love helping! Cheers
@@BK42Cycles Still deciding, but a bike similar to the one in this video is what I'm liking the most right now. I think I will modify my current bike a little at a time. More work in the end, but it will help me decide on the geometry before I build a frame from just tubes. Thanks for your reply!
that's a good approach, I'm looking forward to see your conception soon. Merry Christmas
@@BK42Cycles Merry Christmas to you too!
Hi
i need help in building Springer for Mobylette Motobecane 50 V can you advise. love your work.
Hi there. What do you want to do? The original one looks classic on this bike :)
Tell me your ideas... welcome to the channel and thanks for watching
totally agree but i was looking for Harley look old style or vintage look
Then only building a new one indeed :)
The easiest way is to use the original fork as the base and add the spring system over it ( as I'm doing in this video )
top
Obrigadinho :)
is this a kit one can buy?
Hey Gary, unfortunately not. It was the only one built :( Thanks buddy
Lo primero perdón por la confianza hacia tiempo que avía visto el vídeo i al final i dando muchas vueltas en talleres porque me ponían impedimentos i otras cosas qué aprendí hacer yo i reciclando muelles me salió algo parecido funciona bien chao gracias
Hola Ramón, estoy muy feliz de que lo hayas hecho tú mismo. Estoy aún más feliz si estos videos te han ayudado de alguna manera.
¡Me encantaría ver tu proyecto!
Wow I'm in luv with this!
I got a shwinn stingray chopper that uses a 24x2.1 tire that I plan to replace with a 20x4.0 wheel and this should do the trick! What do you think? Gonna need to get all schematics from the video.. subscribed!
Hey Tanz! Thanks for the kind words mate. Welcome to my channel :) Man, I used to have a 20x4 on my old Stiletto.. that is insane!! Your Stingray will be DOPE!!
Do you want to replace the front wheel only? Both? What about the rims? ( this is important to be considered). Do you mind to share your bike picture with me? I will have a better idea then :)
Those schematics were made only for this video, but I can support you with all the details you may need
btw my email is bk42.bikes@gmail.com ;)
@@BK42Cycles awesome!
@@BK42Cycles I bought a jr fat bike to salvage the wheels and brakes from since it's hard to get the stuff I need here in the Philippines.... Got the bike from Australia. The rear end should be ok for now until I decide if I wanna change into a soft tail, the front is the issue that I'm trying to sort out lol. Oh and it has a bafang mid drive motor hehe
@@tanzarcheart5290 Cool.. so it is an ebike? Very nice... so the front fork should be well designed considering powerful brakes
Is the main fork from Ruff cycles or custom as well?
Hi Tarik. The main fork used as the base is the cheapest Ruff Cycles fork as well.tks for watching
@@BK42Cycles Thanks, now they offer 2 forks, the one you have and "Fork regulator" with suspension, but I'd prefer cheaper fork + your custom suspension model. Too bad I can't buy it online and I don't have an option to make my own. Anyway awesome work, and good taste you have.
Thanks for your kind words man. Unfortunately I don't have the workshop to help with your build. This suspension is not difficult to build but it requires a lot of time and finding the right CNC guys. What I like the most about my prototype is that it is very lightweight and very functional. If you need any help or tips get in touch
Awesome work. You should sell these on Amazon and eBay. I would buy a pair that wasnt as steep of an incline/stretched as yours are. Most people loved the stretched look.. I like the factory sized forks and where the tire sits at myself personally but nonetheless your forks are nicer than half the ones Ive seen.
Thanks Christopher, kind words!! Are you building or looking for a fork for a new bike project?
Unfortunately this one was the only one unite ever made. I had to close the workshop shortly after building this fork. My latest video shows hundreds of custom forks ideas, you might like it ;)
Thanks for watching and welcome to the chanel
@@BK42Cycles Shame you had to close your shop! You are very talented person, You have a very kind way about yourself! When your shop closed it must have upset many. I hope and pray you are well!
thanks for the kind words brother. The "World" is upside down, keeping a business open in Poland these days is challenging. Thanks for your support , cheers
@@BK42Cycles my apologies. I didn’t even see the notification for your reply. I’ve been trying to get my hands on a Micargi Seattle bike for my build but the guy must be a jerk who won’t sell directly to consumers and only to a handful of bike shops- none of which are near me. He won’t even return my emails to let me sell his bikes in my eBay and Amazon shop. This type of business he’s running is exactly how they keep the little guy from making money. He’s not even a big corporation but as small privately owned shop out in the western U.S.. He did have a contract with Walmart selling that bike for $500 but not anymore. He discontinued the bike, repainted it gray and renamed it the Vancouver just to sell it for $800. The guy is a real P.o.S. A true businessman would’ve replied to my multiple emails or even made an exception to sell me at least one bike for my own private use or even sold me a few to sell here on the east coast since no one else here is selling them. So it’s businessmen like him that are keeping guys like me from opening a new business and guys like you from staying in business. It’s a shame we have to tolerate these people and this world they created.
Btw I’m a political scientist and a history fanatic. Being that you’re in Poland I’m guessing you know who is behind all this mayhem. If you don’t though and want to know who, what, when, where, and why. I can give you all the answers. I’ve been watching these people for 15 years and predicted all of these events back then. Perhaps this knowledge will you prepare for what’s coming next.
@@ChristopherJones16 thanks man, I fell you.. I don't know why they keep doing business like that :(

$160 to get something waterjet cut and milled? I needed a pair of circles about 300mm cut in aluminium and got a quote for $800 in labour excluding the stock.
That is why I love building things in Poland 🇵🇱.. they usually don't over charge basic things like CNC :)
Try searching for it on smaller cities
Where are you from btw... cheers
I'm in Australia, and the $800 quote was only for 2 hours lathe work, I think if I wanted them CNC made I'd be looking at $3000
That is crazy... I got so many parts made with CNC ... I cant understand why the prices are that high there...
@@BK42Cycles I just got another quote reply about 2 hours ago from another company and for the same two discs this time with 14 holes drilled made of 30mm aluminium they want $2000 and I still need to supply the material.
