As an engineer myself. You sir are a bloody genius. Ladies and gentleman this is what Britain is good at. This is what the world was jealous of us. Men like you sir. Unfortunatly now we are reduced to bank managers and office workers. And they want the uk to be great again. 😢😢

Awesome! 🫡👍🏻

Allen, do you still own these bikes or were they sold to the museum?

Any chance your wife would share that recipe w us? Love watching you work but I'd like a snack too!

Sounds really throaty Allen.👍👍

Excellent video Allen.👍👍

come on Allen it's been 2 weeks since you uploaded

I had to do the lawns with a 12 inch atco in the mid 50's ,a lovely little mower best was the clutch and reliability Villiers engine I think. yours is too big for your garden so a turbo version is a bit over the top! regards,derek

So whats making the 180 sound so much better/deeper/throatier/lopier than the 100s? Bigger bore obviously has a little to do with it but ive never seen that drastic of a difference in sound from my experience with big bore kits on singles and twins..

How does the oil filter function, when the center stud that holds it in place is solid (not hollow), to allow oil flow post filter to return to the engine???

Now to fit it to a frame and get it out on the road!!

Allen, you must have felt quite disappointed with the quality of the metal fabrication, brazing and welding work as even back in one of the earlier episodes I was shocked by some of the MIG welding as well?

Hi Allen, not a big fan of electric drills? I was just wondering as these Allen head bolts would drive me crazy. I’m also amazed at the amount of imperial and metric threads used.

I keep coming back to this video series. Wonderful job Allen.

my Grandad had a Charlie weaver bartender.

EXTORTION OF INVESTORS BY NORTON WITH A COBBLED TOGETHER LIE THERE WAS NEVER GOING TO BE A PRODUCTION V8 NORTON

Years from now, after Allen dies of old age and too many rich chocolate cupcakes, and his engines end up in museums of turn of the century technology, some curators are going to be mystified, as Kawasaki have no record of any such 4 cyl 2-stroke. And they just won't believe they were made by cutting up second-hand engines in a tiny backyard shed with bare minimum tooling. I would love to know what Kawasaki engineers think of it.

Outstanding. 🫡👍🏻

That nemesis pile of shit was built in Heywood near Rochdale. Monkey nuts job. Everything was a cock up. All melling he was a total messer

Oil in a box within a bag 🤦🏻

I enjoy your videos very much thanks! You are a great craftsman and entertaining too. Your videos remind me of my father and grandfather who were great craftsman too and by whom I was taught practically everything I know (not pretending anything though). So many cars and motorcycles were restored and driven and sold, I really miss that time but looking at your fantastic projects carried out in your little shed brings that time to mind again. Absolutely fantastic.

Hi Allen, halfway through and this is grinding my gears! Not from your refurbishment but from the design form over function, i am a development technician who will take a concept into prototype,highlighting potential issues in a production environment,the front end is over engineered to the detriment of ease of use and maintenance ,so many red flags ! of course it is a concept bike however it seems that some design engineers never left there office to see the reality unfolding on the shop floor which i personally find all too often😢

are you going to cut the tree with that?

What a beautiful explication on rebuilding this awesome vintage bike's engine !!! Thank you for the great work. Please enjoy and ride safe...

I love this bike. It tells me evetything abou Allen. What amazing, well engineered "thing". I mesmerized.

当時の若者の血を吸ってきた化け物！

Un moment de communion.

I found you, and how lucky I am... What you do with some basic tools is absolutely amazing. 5/25/24.

Sounds sweet, I had a 750 triple. Sweet sweet sweet...

Your floats are bent looks like they might stick. Yes I've had this problem. Not trying to be sarcastic just trying to let you know. I learned the hard .

I work on carbs too tractor and motorcycle. I'd love to know what chemicals you use!

I love it 👍😊

no low rpm power.

When you know, you know!! 🤓

I managed two Kawasaki retail branches in 1972 and I had a Z1 in 1973. Listening to Allan ride his one brought back a vivid flood of memories, just as, hearing a much-loved song "of the day" does. I had forgotten what mine sounded like. Thank you Allen for the memory.

Come on al weres the next video.

Looks like he got kicked starting that with a kick starter huh demo it fantastic.

That looks like a nightmare come true

curious as to how the crank was made

This guy is simply an engineering legend

Have hit faster than that with a chick on the back of my 05 zx10

I heard that! Center cylinder is the weak spot of ( all Triples,) because it runs hotter than the two outside cylinders. Air can surround 3 sides on outer cylinders but center jug only gets minimal cooling on cooling fins becauae ots sandwiched between the two Jugs,❤💌💌💌💌!!

Just wished so hard that got got on it (JUST ONCE!!!) into the mid & Hi end power band! I dont think the tach ever got past 5500 which is just the beginning for an H2. Oh well , Still enjoyed it thourily.💌

How does adding a fourth cylinder make it a 550 if 3 cylinders is a 250? Assumlng stock bore.

My dog does not bother the hedge hogs but tells me they are in the garden

I have noticed you are using Simoniz Acrylic Satin Black, just wondered if it is any good, I have tried bbq paint on exhaust, and PJ1 on cylinders and it has all flaked off

Yours is a superlative attention to detail and finish. Watching you work in such a focused, relaxed expression of craftmanship is a joy. I have been binge-watching your work on this project and it has surprised me that the fitters who have previously worked on this machine have produced such a carelessly finished product. Much of the welding looks like the welds were left unfinished. Slap happy would be a suitable description of their effort with a disregard for quality assurance by the quality assurance supervisor. "Near enough" seems to be "good enough" for the inspector (If there was one), especially on those parts that are unseen after the final assembly. Beautiful work to provide a remedy, Allen. .

I can only imagine what this would be like as a Single Cylinder Thumper, WOW. Just amazing

The best sound ever amazing
