    You mean to tell me that there isn't one motorcycle manufacturing engineer that doesn't have the creativity to come up with a sweet bike like that one WTF !!! Well done !!! Wish I had one too!

      I think it will always be determined by how a bike would sell. Companies would make any bike you can imagine if it would sell like they want it too.

    I always think that a good custom bike should piss off a bunch of people. Judging from the comments here i'd say you did your job. Good work.

  • @afreemanreigns
    @afreemanreigns 5 лет назад +67

    Personally for me @ 5:31 the bike/build was the sharpest. There was something about that old Honda tank left alone on it's new found body, dam sexy, raw, with a unique sense of power. A serious weapon on many fronts, would love to rip up the streets and run from the corps (corporate police) or take it to a local flat track race. That subframe is a work of art, what would that cost?

    I just want to throw in my opinion and say this is potentially the best thing i have ever seen. Would love to have seen some fly by videos. I am in the unfortunate position where i have the skills but none of the machinery to do these projects. I have a 2007 ktm 300 supermoto at the moment and would absolutely love to do this to it. I read your blog write up on your website and it was fantastic. I wondered how you managed to lower the forks so much and retain full function. Hats off to sir. Keep up the good work.

    • @Engineeredtoslide
      @Engineeredtoslide  6 лет назад +19

      There is a crossover tube that runs from one extension to the other at the lowest point making it completely level and fed from both sides.

  • @afreemanreigns
    @afreemanreigns 5 лет назад

    I would have to change the Bars, and I know what I would have tried, I have just the fix, from a 1975 Yamaha MX400, they are 36" wide, or a real set of flat track bars, but then again maybe those new Tracker bends, but they need to be wide for the feel, it would really change it's character, kinda like the icing on the cake. AMAZING BIKE, BUILD, ART.

    I love flat track. As a teen, we would go to the Astrodome every year, and watch the weekend show. I’ve seen the likes of Kenny Roberts, Bart Markel, Jay Springsteen, and Mert Lawill race. One year, the hometown boy, Mike Gerald won it, and was televised on ABC Wide World of Sports. Yeah, I’m old.

    You'll probably get back to the fuel tank extenders and reshape the whole tank making it nicer.
    But I think you should show us how the bike slides
