  • This is how to build a custom motorcycle in just a day with simple hand tools. This should work with any standard style motorcycle. Hopefully this gives you some ideas!

      I totally agree. Their ADVChina and old Churchill customs renown should make custom "curated" modified Chinese bikes a natural segue now that they're here in the States. I'm sure lots of folks over here might wanna buy one if they were just "beefy" enough for occasional highway use--say 400cc or more.

    The bikes you rode in your documentaries each had such a simple, but classy style about them. Minimalist and clean, they appeared graceful even in repose. Who knows? Perhaps you should copywrite "Churchill Motors" along with the logo and file it under future projects.

  • @rwiersema
    @rwiersema Před 3 lety +7

    What I usually do is just take the 2 bolts out of the caliper and fit that when the wheel is on. That way you're not trying to make 5 things fit at once (especially with dual front discs)

  • @wannaseethevid
    @wannaseethevid Před 3 lety +10

    It is recommended when you take your front wheel off to place a bit of a spacer between the pads to ensure the caliper doesn't close up. I usually just place an allen/hex key between them to keep them open. I here tell that if you didn't it is possible to accidently knock your front brake and squeeze them in, it is even possible to actually (say someone pulled the front brake on for instance) push the brake piston passed its seal) and then DOH!!!!!! so place a simple wedge in between to save a lot of hassle.. Just my 2 cents.

    I actually built my first "motorbike" about a month ago. I bought a cheap Chinese 49cc 4 stroke bike kit and outfitted an old used mountain bike. I'm only 15 so no license or nothing so this is good for now. It does about 50+ Kmph so thats more than enough for cruising Toronto. Best thing is, it cost me under 400 bucks. We all gotta start somewhere! These vids are really inspiring and I love your content. STAY AWESOME!

    Great idea for both fenders, and Gave me more ideas !!!

    40 year old JIS machine screws really don't like coming undone!
    (I should have got a GN, parts are so much easier to find! lol!).
    The other reason is my VTR1000 is worse on fuel getting me to work than my car! LOL!

IM AM LOVING THE BIKE STUFF THOUGH! you guys could do touring in america on motorcycles and kill it. more than muscle cars i would think.

I appreciate the way you frame your serpentza videos with the vcr tape intro/outro (nogistalgia factor), it's the little things. Your fathers stories are awesome. You do work that saves lives and is helping save this country. From east central Missouri, Stay Awesome we love you guys here, I am helping share your channel(s) and message for years now.

    Yeah, Bruh !! I had a GN400 back in say...87 that I got for $400. Black on black like your 125. I was looking for an SR500 Yamaha, but they were all over $1000.. That little Suzuki was a 5 speed thumper, with a top speed of like 80. But it was what I needed at the time to really gain confidence as a rider, I was just a kid.. That's the bike I rode when mastered wheelies around corners, going up stairs, kicking over bikes without using the compression release, etc. It was a good solid bike. If it only had one more gear...

    I got an old bike like yours. An ‘80 yamaha 400, the only thing i customized was the handle bars, a bit lower so i lean into the wind instead of being a drag cute sitting straight up. Rear Shock extensions would have been nice if i could have found some to lower it a bit. I like the seats the way they are as its like riding on the frame, for a short guy like myself it makes waiting at a light much easier having a seat instead of bars to straddle. To each their own tho, i like all the things you took off for their function. Especially the lights, ive come up on so many of these customed bikes that i couldnt see their signals and almost ran them down cuz of it.
