Really starting to look the dogs. I like Royal Enfields, and yours is progressing nicely, will be good to see the completed bike. My father-in-law turned 92 last week, got his first Royal Enfiled when he was 16, has had a few others along with 30 other bikes over the years, and now owns and still rides, although no great saddle time these days, his current stead is a R.E. 350 Meteor.

Hi Tony, Thanks for your prompt reply to my comments. I feel we may have to agree to disagree on some points. Im a toolmaker by trade and have always done my own bike work, been wheel bulding since the age of 12 on pushbikes and have done many motorcycle wheel builds over the years. Its not a dark art, its easy and more people should have a go at these jobs themselves. Thanks again for your channel, i appreciate how much work you put in. Brian Armidale Australia
@mancavemoto10 ай бұрын
Sadly Brian not everyone has a background as a toolmaker, so you can’t judge other peoples approach based on the privilege your many years of training and experience. I wouldn’t trust riding on a wheel that I built myself. Having seen the process there is a lot of skill involved. It’s not a dark art at all but it is a skill that is learned and perfected over many years. As Chris said in the video it takes 100 or so builds before he considered himself an expert wheel builder. Not to mention the specialist tools that are required.

Short seat & rack both look fantastic-great video cheers. I stopped at 25 modifications on my Interceptor (before giving it to the wife) but if I had a spare £600 I would definitely do the seat/rack thing. 👍🏼, & maybe powder coating some of the shiny bits, a remap & a 2-into-1 exhaust to save a bit of weight (S&S cans in mine with straight through headers-sound great).

Love following this build. The new seat looks fantastic. I think I’m with you on the shorter frame rail, though. It would look better if it ended right at the back of the seat.

Bikes looking great and I’m already looking forward to the next vid!
