Fantastic ! Great ideas.
Thank you Mr. Jim!
Been awesome to follow along and learn the process. Cant wait to see what you do next!
@@CrackNicholson thanks brother glad you liked it!
Saw your bike at Barber Small bore this year. Well done. You've got skills. I like it. Subscribed.
@@southeastvintagecyclerescue thank you I really appreciate that!
Gracias por compartir buen trabajo
@@x7fire thank you I appreciate it!
Ik that left a scar cuz it did for me 😂😂
Happens all the time 😂
Thats if it still gets too hot use titanium mounts and a catbon heat shield
It's worked out perfectly so far. I've put about 5 hours of racing/ride time on it without an issue.
Awesome fab! Air box turned out super clean!
Thank you! glad you liked it
What did you use on the base of the bike for paint? Looks great
It was powdercoated white from the previous owner but I stripped it all off and redid it a different color.
That’s a lot of heat on that frame running a continuous bead. Did it bend the tubing at all?
It wasn’t a continuous bead, I skipped around quite a bit. It’s easy to tell if you overheat Chromoly when TIG welding. It’ll turn a burnt grey color at the weld.
The obvious comment: no alcohol while welding. Period. Do you really want to be in that statistics category?
The obvious reply: This is America, I’ll do as I please while working on my own things in my own home.
You sit when you pee.
If I have an item that I want multiple areas different colors, can I "double anodize" a part for different colors as long as I use peel paper covering on the parts that I don't want colored?
I haven’t personally ever tried this. Personally I feel like the best results would come from anodizing the part completely then during the dye process, do half one color then move into the other color suspending the part that has already been colored out of the dye. Then move on to the sealing portion as usual. As far as masking after the anodizing is complete, I’m not sure how you would get the masking off without ruining the anodized surface and having to start the process over again.
Is that black lead or not?
Just regular lead. Like what battery terminals are made of.
You are a gnarly guy man. I’m building up a 94 z50r right now.
Thanks for the compliment man 🤙🏻 post some videos up of your project
Thanks for this; It's one of the best I've seen, especially the power supply tips. Also, I'll be extra careful with my connectivity! Cool colour too :)
Thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful
Can i find this print file somewhere?
I want one! I don’t like the stretched out look either. I’m looking for that 1-1.5” but I don’t trust the aluminum ones.
Fast50s makes a good chromoly swingarm but I mostly just wanted to try building one myself before I take on a full frame build eventually.
Love seeing the stuff you come up with. Great work!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it
7:12 you have skills amazing 👍
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Looking good!
Thanks!
Good job man. Nice work. Just subbed to your channel
Thanks man I appreciate that 🤙🏻
Great video, love your work. Can’t wait to see the rest of it come together!
Thanks man! I’m excited for what’s coming up.
Kudos to you for showing your mistake with the bushings. Made for a good segment in the video to show the solution
Thanks man! Stuff happens but it’s only a real problem if you can’t fix it. I’ve since made a nice billet aluminum bushing, those little ones were just temporary. I’ll have a lot of anodizing to do soon.
Pretty immature not to mention STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPID drinking beer in the shop. Maybe time to grow up little boi.
Fantastic video!! Best video I have seen so far on diy anno
Glad you liked it! Hope you get to give it whirl sometime
Damn bro. Get better.
Thanks man. I hope I'll come back better than before with some more energy.
I like how everything is video except for the part of the video most came to learn. Nice slideshow.
Well I can’t tell if that’s a compliment or not but thank you haha. I hope it was informative enough!
The swing arm is super nice man. Good job
Thank you! Hopefully it performs the way that I want.
🥴🥴
Hey, thanks for the video! I've been thinking of doing something very similar (intake manifold for a two-stroke engine) but am concerned how it will stand up to the heat and vibration. How successful was this project? You used nylon/carbon fiber filament ... any better options you'd recommend three years later?
It depends if your application requires a rubber boot for vibration or if you’re going to rigid mount it. So in my case, it didn’t work out super great because the carbon fiber strands caused really spall air leaks throughout the manifold. By making a model this way it did allow me to replicate it out of aluminum once I verified my fitment so that was fine. If I had to do it over again I would make it out of nylon without the CF reinforcement.
One hell of a rat z50.
very nice job making the shock brace! that mod will make the bike much more solid. i cant wait to see this bike hit the dirt!
Me and you both! Haha I still have a lot of work ahead of me but I’m excited to get this thing going.
Hey, I'm looking into anodizing enclosures and parts for the devices I build, and I'm wondering if stainless steel can be used as conductor instead of titanium, possibly with insulating as much of the wire/rod with heatshrink tubing. Any info on that? Lovely purple BTW. Very much my style :)
You can’t put stainless in the sulfuric acid, it’ll immediately start to corrode away. Lead works great as a Anode and is much cheaper than titanium. Your wires that the parts hang from should either be titanium or aluminum.
@@PosParts thanks for the info! :)
@@KeritechElectronics no problem at all. Glad to help!
Talking about personal safety but in the meantime you are welding with short sleeves. Ever heard of UV radiation? That’ll give you some burns, bro!
Just working on my tan 😂🤷🏻♂️
Hi, that is super cool! I wanted to ask, for the anodizing, do I have to paint it? I actually got here because I heard a Q&A about lenses for cameras, and that anodized ones are better.
If you’re talking about painting on a top coat over the anodizing it isn’t necessary. Anodizing is harder than any paint besides maybe cerakote.
Use cable clamps the make just enough room for the cable to move as well as give oil to the cable
This is the best video I have seen on anodizing at home! You gave all the important things to watch out for and how to do it safely. And you have great taste in your choice of beer Yuengling 😁🛫
I’m glad you enjoyed it and found it informative. Thanks for checking it out 🤙🏻
Maybe using a sacrificial titanium piece of metal, and to DIRECTLY touch it to the aluminum or titanium part to be anodized... Finished off with a separate FINAL Dip in a bucket or pan of Nickel Sulfate Solution
Well-presented. And, nice work, too. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Spencer just found your channel and subscribed thanks for the information
Glad you enjoyed it Dave. Thanks for checking out my channel. I’ll have some more videos out soon.
Looks hulk-ish green on top and purple bottom
Nicely done, the second time!
You’ve only got to get it right once! Hahaha
Nice video
Thanks for watching!
That was really cool appreciate it
Glad you enjoyed!
Where on earth did you find white wall tires for that Honda Z-50? ....Lol!
They’re made by Continental. I believe Shinko makes some as well. That bike is finished now and I think it looks pretty sick with the white walls haha
@@PosParts Would love to see a picture of that. Thanks
Me and my brother had 2 red Z50's in the 70's growing up. They were the best mini bike back then. Glad to see it man, memories.
@@_JimS check me out on Instagram @posparts I have pictures of it on there. Just had it out a couple weeks ago to ride it around.
@@youknowmr11 they’re a blast man. Hard to beat a Z50. I’m building a 1989 Z50R now.
Looks GREAT !!! I know NOTHING about this but your demo and commentary were great and very understandable
Thank you! I appreciate the compliment
Nice, surprised by every advance.
Thanks man!
That looks really great, but I wouldn't have chosen purple!! 😄
I had been wanting to try purple on something and had the dye for a while I I figured why not haha. Thanks for watching!
hello friend my name is huber berrio.. and i would like to know if you can build for a swingram for my z50r 1994. thanks. I live in Tampa Florida.
Sorry I don't build custom 1 off parts for people. Its extremely time consuming and I don't have much free time.
Hi.. how much swingram for my z50r 1994. Thks
I hate it when a kid says don't be an idiot.
Why? Lol
@@PosParts because kids are idiots.
