- This bike is a weird one. A bike you can buy on Amazon, that comes in a big box direct from China.
I managed to get my hands on one and plan on chopping it in a guilty free manor! They call it a Zeths and only being a 250cc it's an unusual motorcycle.
Help me by letting me know what you think I should do to this thing!

Dang I'm actually surprised by how good they got the look in stock form! Definitely love the direction and simple changes already! Some mini-apes will make it so much better to ride
It has plastic headers….
@@KarstRats ...no
@@BrickHouseBuilds must have been a knock off that the other reviewer got. It just had plastic shrouds around where the heat fins and headers are as decoration and the motor was actually some bullshit one piston thing inside the big chunk of plastic.
@@BrickHouseBuildsplus the big hunk of plastic you cut in half is made of metal on a real motorcycle. Its a bunch plastic for looks. Wasnt saying the actual motor components themselves were plastic.
The purpose of the fake oil tank and the weird chain guard, is to make it look like a Harley. Nice job so far bobbing the bobber.
Looks like a fun build! Can’t wait to see it
First time here, subscribed right away.
Fantastic content mate
I built a bobber from a 535 virago back in 2020, and thoroughly enjoyed it, but this really looks like it’s going to be a fun project.
Cool idea! It already looks alot better.
I like the direction this is heading. It has old chopper vibes already. Solid move mounting the battery/electrics in a oil reservoir. I would love see some harley drag style exhausts and everything blacked out. Definitely better bars. Even possibly a different tank to fill that gap between the current tank and the headstock/bars as it looks massive from some angles. But so far so good 👍 nice job
Doghouse customs make those oil tanks for enfield bobbers he builds, he fits a lithium battery in there so solves the battery placement problem
this is a amazing idea and a great initiative , I'd love to see a royal Enfield classic 350 build on your channel because I feel you can do a lot more with it and the aftermarket support with it is also great.
Told you I will be back ... glad to see the videos are rolling in
Hiya, I'm new to you're channel, the build is probably why it was suggested. It certainly sounds like it's an old bobber on the start up so you might want to beef up the starter motor and open up those exhausts but I must insist you get a better seat like a spring seat. Your back will thank you
I had the carburetor version of that engine in a Chinese Virago copy . I rode it summer and winter for 5 years it allways started and never missed a beat. I was very surprised, surely didn't expect that.
great project.. love it
I am intrigued by this! I built a Bobber from a 250 Virago last year, but chickened out of the hard tail😅. With this, at least there isn't 30 years of road grime and rust to deal with! I bet the engine is based on the Yam 250 v-twin or similar, that too had ridiculously small exhaust headers 😂. I bought some shorty pipes off eBay that sounded great. Good luck and enjoy - who cares where it comes from, something like this can be altered and chopped about with abandon.
I have an XV250 rotting (lightly) in my driveway and I'm just wondering what the hell to do with it. It's leaking fork oil so there's that. Only 9k miles though! If I wanted to Bob it (frugally) what's the damage to my wallet?
Well, there's a question! I guess a couple of hundred quid will buy a whole load of ebay custom parts that can be (adapted) bolted on but I ended up spending more as I stripped everything for refurbishment!
The design reminds me of a bike made by Zero engineering for a Biker build off episode.
All bobbers are spray machines ! That's why we lov'em
Cool project! Will it need to go through some sort of SVA test to go on the road? I am watching with interest.
Dude, it looks pretty bad ass!!!
I wouldn't take on trust that the battery is actually a lithium ion battery. "Lithium Ion" might be the brand name.
It looks a lot better already. It'll be interesting to see where you go with it. I'd definitely change the bars to bring them back quite a bit. You looked very uncomfortable hunched forward to reach them when you were riding it.
The tank under the seat is supposed to resemble the oil tank on a Harley. What I have seen done with fake oil tanks is thats where certain electrics go, with a little hatch. Motogadget m-Units fit beautifully in them.
Z bars. The low rise ones.
It looks awesome how it came. Similar to a zero engineering style
That looks likes a Massimo Voger bike! Besides wanting to see the "chopping mods" your about to do, i also want to hear that mortorcycle without exaust pipes.😃
Have a great weekend, ride safe🏍💨, and watch good movies!✌😉
Turn the circle tank into a drink dispenser 😂
The engine looks like a Virago 250 imitation.
If you’re not privy to bobber culture then you’ll never understand why it looks like it does. It is actually a pretty amazing little replica of the Zero bobber style. Low slung, minimal.
Bikes and beards proved this motorcycle secretly rhns on bubbles
So it's a Zero Engineering bike from Wish I guess. Interesting starting point
Haha, it’s actually got a decent side profile 🤪👍🏻
Jish is the only channel I'd watch Chinese bikes on.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with it looks like a really fun and different build P.S. they are Springer forks not girder.
Rules heard and agreed to. Subscribed.
Each cylinder is only 125 cc's so the exhaust is equivalent to a single cylinder 125cc bike
I'd suggest an old Brit-style rear fender, with the ridge running down the center. Cafe racer stuff.
Biggest thing to keep an eye on with Chinese bikes is rust on the fixings.
Solid comment as its true 😂 theres already some paint flaking on some tabs
why hide it? Boy you are clueless! They hide the chain so riders don't get their clothes or rags caught up in the chain Homie! and all the doo-dads that do nothing are to make it look like a Harley! Duh!@@jishh
Look of the 50s with beach bars like the triumph / Harley that will look good and be better for the body.
Weld a 90° fitting on the side of the tank and go get a little jack Daniels bottle and fit it upaide down as tou fuel gauge.
How very unoriginal...
How did you order one? I've seen another video previously & was Intrigued but no sign of one on UK Amazon. They look a whole lot of custom fun for sure.
the fake oil tank, you can use it as a storage for basic tools maybe? cut a side so you can make it openable? or maybe use it to store your electricals instead of the headlight?
The fake oil tank holds exactly 1kg of Fentanyl. And, as you're the dummy importing it, you get to answer Customs' questions, if the Cartel doesn't remove their kilo before you notice it...
There's a reason this bike is cheap.
It honestly looks good, all things considered
That looks better already
Where did you import the 250 or are they for sale in the UK?
Should be an interesting project to F around with without the concern of ruining a classic. Play time!
Play time indeed 😆
Liking the mods so far. I'd consider thick leather caps on the ends of the silly can, half battery and half toolbox (room depending). Maybe side-mounted license plate (I know yours are monsters but whatever). Smallest light set possible rear. Narrower bars good idea but not too much. Bar-end mirrors, LED headlight with indicators brought back to the stock, Nix the reflector and add a huge speedo (maybe too much cost though). I don't hate the exhaust TBH - maybe wrap the headers before the cans. Brade the brake lines in stainless sheath. Carbon fiber disk on the air filter center with polished surround. I'm not a fan of murals on tanks but a cool 80's retro paint job could be nice (Gen X'er - can't help it). Not sure of you're going to the frame but if so, chrome it - wild! This thing is cool anyway - I like cheaper fun bikes as much as the expensive ones. New sub 🙂
Im in. Subscribed.
Good on yer for trying something chinese, i see loads of potential in some of them but its a balance between cost and reliability and which one wants to hit you the most.
Love it....Ride hard as though you stole it
the exhaust shields on my iron 883 are basically held on with really strong cable ties too lol...
i wanna see what happens t the lil chop looks very interesting
The RX 7 just chilling in the back
Reminds me of , however crudly , a Zero Engineering design... I'd try to mimic a high dollar build like that with a super low budget knockoff.
Design wise, mini apes 10 to 12 inches would help. Plus, assuming that is an odd diameter bar, the more standard size new bars open up what controls you can run. Also, with the mini apes, a tank lift wouldn't be wrong and should be really easy to fab. I would also figure out the foot controls. If you are ok with riding mids, go that route. If not, a better quality forward. Also, a few people are knocking on doing this to a Chinese bike. Why not? It's cheap to get into, and you aren't ruining a good bike if you mess up. I guarantee that decently done, it will get more talk than a more expensive stock bike at a bike night/ bar.
The bike looks good as it is! I hate homemade bratbikes with wonky geometry and lol no front break and so on terrifying!
Needs Apes for sure, and moving battery into the fake oil tank will be good but suspect that water will get in under that seat. Subbed!
I had a Daelim about 20 years ago ,I liked it,but it rusted pretty quickly .
You guys have the link for this bike? I cant seem to find it on amazon.
It's a floating device, you motorcycle is unsinkable 🤣🤣🤣
Damn good looking bike, slap a set of 14 inch apes and convert the clutch to a foot clutch and jockey shift it'll look badass.
Maybe throw a bigger engine on it, maybe an iron 883, bend the bars in a little, grab some new switches for the bars, clean up all of the cables and wires and hoses coming off of the bars.
It looks rather weird but 4K does seem a very good price!
If only this thing wasn't $7000
There's a lot of good bikes that money can buy.
Just for the looks I'd pay like maybe 2k but 7k is just outrageous.
at that price you might as well buy a re, but i can see this being a lot more fun
Some nice pinstriping would go a long way on the tank and fenders. Give it a rat rod feel.
I've been looking at doing this with a Royal Enfield if I can find one on the used market.
Subscribed for the build, but I want a link to this lol
But will it beat the german inspection so you can legally drive it here?
wlc rear fender. Two in one exhaused sharkvin
Bro this already is cool...
Move the clutch cable to the foot shifter and jockey shift it
Order 1 part from column A, two from column B, bag it and send it on its way!
If its fuel injected you could get a mini squirt and have a tuner re map it to get better power, maybe some better injectors, and a spin-y boi too! Pssshh pshhhh do do do do
4:56 inside there goes the carburetors friend i hope helped with my knowledge :)
What is the secret on finding these on Amazon in the UK?
good question , i've googled it & not found any so far
You can't... people seem to miss this bit out.... annoying as hell
I like as is how can a guy get his hands on one of those?
springer seat and some heat wrapped side slash pipes
How much was the bike? as I think it actually looked quite good before you started on it. Also how do you go about registering it with the DVLA?
I really don't think you need to do too much, in fact I would of kept the rear mudguard a little longer so you could of added a rack, but then I'm always wanting more practicality on my motorcycles. Will be interesting to get an idea of costs involved against choosing an old classic to convert.
Where do you order one of those from??
It looks cool but how many miles are there inside a Chinese 250 that has to drag round a full sized frame? Is this effort worth 5k miles then rattle rattle crunch bang and a then a month on Google looking for equivalent parts that may fit and you know the rebuilt engine or box would last less miles.
Good luck.
Crazy that there was a time when Harley’s were cheap enough that lots of normal dudes did this to them instead of just rich guys.
In the years gone past I think it would have been for oil why not use it for the battery doghouse customs on TH-cam makes them and he has used them for various things
Probably the best mod/upgrade you can do is putting some better quality tyres. I wouldn't trust those on a shopping trolley 😂
I personally would leave to overall look of the bike other than the bars maybe see if a different motor would even fit
You should check out a Chang Jiang CJ750. It's a Chinese clone of a world war II BMW motorcycle
Can you buy these in the UK?
Paint the engine black and a longer profile petrol tank. Cut a hole in the top side of the ”oil” tank big enough to store the battery.
I dont think ill paint the engine but night get ride of the “chrome” at least.
Beat on it a while and see how the bike holds up!
Keep the tank plack or put a grey stripe
Probably still better than buying an OCC chopper.
Going to get rid of the fake cylinder and exhaust pipe?
I went looking, I can't find this on Amazon anywhere.
It's called the zeths boger 250 it's probably area restricted on amazon
Is that thing a hard tail?
where and how much?.
I think it’s cool.
Im curious if that empty seemingly useless piece is supposed to be modded. Idk anything about Chinese regulations or road laws, but im wondering if some manufacturers add parts with the I tent to be modded because its illegal to have certain things on it otherwise. Idk im no expert but thats my theory
I would have went with a custom tall sissy bar with taillight and numberplate in the sissy bar a king queen seat fishtail pipes some flake paint with von dutch and lace graphics on the tank and fender an some old style z bars with better controls
It wpuld be onteresting to see a scrambler Made out of that thing. Raising the bike a few inches and changing the foot positioning further back and that
Hey Jish is this registered to drive on the UK roads?
Also will you not need the chain guard to pass an MOT
do you need a chain guard if there is no pillion seat?
I'm not sure.
Need a label on it that says "made in China, fixed in the UK"
Do all that work on a 250 wow.😊
I see the MUTT hoodie. I had one of those. Absolutely bloody awful! I got ripped off. 😢
