With all the rabaconda comments you would think I'd be sponsored by them lol. Guys, there is always a better tool out there. I have to reeeeeaaaally prioritize what tools I buy for the jobs I do the most. Sure, a tire changer would be nice but I value the space more when you consider I don't often do tires, just recently have a wave of them. I'd love a mill, better TIG, bigger lathe, paint booth, powdercoat setup, dedicated dirty room, sand blast cabinet, and many more things but I am lucky to have what I do.

Ahh man, I've loved watching this because it reminds me of all the work I did on my XS250. I also made delron inserts for the footpeg brackets, and the handlebar clamps too. The original rubber mounts on both were sloooopppyyy.... Also - nice freakin t-shirt! ❤️

Ok Ok Ok. I am impressed. Yep. This video is incredible. Thank you for sharing this. Inspirational. My update: Finally 'cleaning up' my bike. Crazy but it's much cleaner than I originally thought. The rubber in the petcock is brand new, is marked with a red dot ~ rebuilt? ~ and the tank is not bad with some not so bad gas that I drained out. This is the container find ~ the cb750 ~ has a West Virginia inspection sticker from 2007 ~ my hopes for a clean start with a new battery and air filter with a complete new lock set? (No key and no title) ~ Maybe bypass the carburetor rebuild. Not sure. Anyway. Nothing but respect and awe ~ You have mad skills and so creative. Keep the faith man. Thank you.

Seeing your channel, via thanks to The Bearded Mechanic, and you doi g an adventure bike, I've decided to take a new route with my 1967 Puch Allstate and make it more into an adventure bike. Granted it is a lower HP unit, 2 stroke but was made when dirt roads were a thing and it's made for such types of terrain. Mine won't be pretty by anymeans like what you are building.

Nice building again i have my Yamaha still waiting on my motivation to start it. My friend who builds exhausts for living said that it would be crucial for the welder to put some welding gas inside the pipe when you use a tig you can mig without gas inside the exhaust but tig is a different thing. he said the seams are much better that way also from the inside. The same applies if you're tig welding a gas tank.
@BrickHouseBuilds 24 күн бұрын
What your friend is referring to is welding stainless. You need to backpurge when welding stainless as to not contaminate the weld area and cause crystallization. Mig or tig welding steel doesn't matter.
@atombombsgarage 29 күн бұрын
Man I wish I could TIG weld like you. You should put out a video of tips and tricks to MIG and TIG welding, I know there is a A LOT to it, but just even some does and donuts and basic techniques you use would be cool

I have thought about that but even though I may seem capable, I will never feel like a welding expert. People don't come to this channel for welding tips as there are so many amazing channels out there dedicated to doing just that. Thank you for the thought though 🤘

When shaping the epoxy (or bondo or whatever) first use 120 grit, then when the shape is how you want it so 1 220 grit run over it, lastly to get to hard to reach spot, corners and so on, use a red scotch (about 350 grit) to matten everything down. Done!

I've been so excited for this build to come together! Are the wheels straight up bronze or is it a combination of pewter and gold or something? They look great! As I have mentioned awhile ago, I also have an xs400 that was cobbled together and looks/ rides really good so far. I have always wondered about taking it to the next level though and this video series is pushing me that direction. Hell, I just want to go ride it right now! Keep it up BHB!!!

I can't always spend top level money on every tool to make every job easier. That is a never ending cycle and I can't afford that.

That Delrin sure is stinky, I work with it all the time at my job. I work as a CNC operator. Curious if you've looked at the Rabaconda street bike tire changer system. I've watched a bunch of video's showing the procedure using it and watched a friend use his. I bought the kit, I'm pretty close to using it, but there's still some 200 or so miles left on the front tire of my 2006 Yamaha Stratoliner S, so it waits, mocking me... Thanks for another video!

Do it your way but is a lot easier to mount a tire without those silly zip ties, by doing it one side at a time isn't so stiff and you don't run the risk of scratching the rim. I did it old school at ten years old alone, both of you dudes are huffin and a puffin lol... And yes I get it, you won't pinch the tube your way, you don't need skill just brute force... Still, I'm liking the show, lots of good work.
