Seriously, this guys machine, and creative brain mining skills are enviable, I love what he's done here, even though it's utility is mostly nostalgic driven attempts at creating something "cross-grain" special, his skillset by itself is special enough for an entire video.
Being a retired fabricator & bike builder, I enjoy this video. I had very little in the way of machinery and It is amazing to watch you use it. You are very good . Right combination of artistic ability, fabrication skills and general knowledge of physics.
Absolutely fantastic seeing the build from start to finish in one vid Matt. It was indeed a total credit to you, your engineering, fabrication and welding skills and your knowledge of using the excellent Plasma technology. I salute you!
I ran an 11 ft long, single down tube, rigid, Pauco narrow springer, 750 Honda chopper, built in 69. 15" Volkswagen back tire, 21" Avon in the front, tennis ball spool, motor had goodies like, a 904cc big bore kit, domed pistons, radical cam from 1969, custom grind, titanium keepers heavy duty springs, port work, ARD belt driven magneto(!), electric fuel pump, Weber side drafts(!), custom aluminum intake, heavy duty clutch basket, the big, BIG chain and sprockets, the next size up from the 520, and custom clutch pedal & hand shifter, on the left side. I rode this bike from New Jersey to Florida and back to New Jersey, then back to Florida again. I had that bike for damn near 10 years. I miss that bike. what a killer scoot. just like this one in this video, awesome❤
that girder frame just earned you a sub, my friend. if you want that thing to bark really hard when you let off the throttle, it will get louder than when you throttle it up, when you let off the throttle, make four even pipes as long as you can, and straight cut them. if you can get the ends to angle upward, it's even better. they don't have to be exactly equal length, but if they're long and the pipe is sealed tight, that thing will scream like a banshee, and make the exhaust that has now sound like a lawn mower engine. I used to roll down the hills in New Jersey in 3rd or 4th gear, and it absolutely screamed when you let off the gas, love that sound.
Not even 4 minutes in and, and I'm super happy with this tubeless build, I was wondering? kind of clickbait title? Nope! this is sweet and tons of video left to watch.
Gosh man, what skill it takes to do all that. I would have been happy to watch the whole thing at normal speed I enjoyed that so much. I love the inline 4s. And thank you for putting on a rear fender! The open wheel designs drive me crazy thinking about all the crap that is thrown up off the road even when its not wet! Then I saw you put stylish holes in it, which looked great. Oh well. Lol. When you left the frame out there by the sea, wow, I wouldnt have slept at night worrying it would have walked off. The end result is really beautiful and no doubt you are very proud of all your work. The plasma machine is awesome as is your knowledge of design to make it do what it does. Thank you for your video.
I started building something similar for a build-off on The Chopper Underground back in 2010, I think it was, but life got in the way and I never finished it. Mine had a KZ750 twin engine in it. I didn't have a plasma table, which would have made my life a lot easier. Yours is a really nice build, much better than mine was. You even picked the same paint I was going to go with--rust!
a chopper not from harley, but a 4 cyl beauty, my first chopper hardtail from scratch was a 350 honda with full blown pistons and all that could be done was done, 18 at the time, and was a moment in time when welding all arc welding the hard way, but fun it was and enjoyed the ride till i was drafted to army time. great job and a master builder you are..
My first time witnessing this gentleman & his work, colour me Impressed ... Not only the unorthodox approach and totally unique designs got me, but also his approach to video- making... Uttered not one syllable, and to me and my "ever learning towards minimalist" way of thinking, i dare say, this goes over well and markedly better than some... Although if one is learning about, say, motors or whatever, he/she may want or need some level of explanation, but that's a whole other thing than this, imho Great channel, great skills, "liked" and definitely a new sub, cheers man 👍
Bravo! You are one skilled fabricator, my friend. Your video was very nicely executed as well. I had to subscribe. This video alone was worth it. Thanks. Eric in Kissimmee Florida.
ive just recently stumbled upon your channel and immediately subscribed! outstanding fabrication! a pleasure to watch in whatever format you might choose.. long winded or montages! brilliant work! cheers for posting!
Wow.... what you’ve created is a credit to your imagination, talent and abilities. Xtreme plasma tabes must be over the moon with what you made for them using their product. Noice mate. Noice
Very nice. That CNC plasma cutter is the outstanding difference. Nice welding too. Not sure about the rust finished frame, or the "fair weather" back fender. It's your ass, but, I get where you're going with it though. The "no leaks" gas tank was impressive, done on the first weld-up. Again, I say, nice job.
Nice build yet again, if you left that frame at any beach near my area it would have been nicked within the first hour.😂 Love that test ride, not a number plate in sight.🤔 That is the way to be.😉👍
That was an excellent montage Matt. I hate to think of the editing hours you put in on that one. The bike looks great and appears to ride well despite the early naysayers. It really showcases the plasma cutting capability which was obviously the primary objective. All the best Mart in Solihull.
Don't know if you did this, the frame looks great but my OCD cleaning wouldn't let me keep it in a "raw" rusted state I'd have had to spray if with a matt clear coat. Great looking bobber.
Superb work of art! One small niggle though - I know you counterpointed the rust with the shiny aluminium but... IMHO, rusted steel girder front suspension would've completed the look.
15:00 Tesla truck fuel tank? The CNC style cutting metal is the best part of your videos man, I would like to see some Rat Rod shit with this Tech. Love this build!!!
That's a fantastic build, I agree with you on the holes, round holes like aircraft spars would've looked great. Interesting choice of wheels, quite a juxtaposition
I just subscribed to the channel after enjoying watching it and I would like to tell you that you are a skilled creator with precision and perfection. Don't stop working on this channel. Your work is great and you provide useful and interesting content. Thank you for your effort and time💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

Honda 750 engine, simply one of the most beautiful engines on the motorcycle scene. Great choice for this build.
Very good builded, you did a good job my friend you saved yourself from making payments lol . Amen ,be careful out there on the road my Friend .
Absolutely fantastic seeing the build from start to finish in one vid Matt. It was indeed a total credit to you, your engineering, fabrication and welding skills and your knowledge of using the excellent Plasma technology. I salute you!
Cheers Trevor
I have seen this bike in person and sat on it, very nicely done, really great piece of work, keep it up Matt
I liked the "coastal" painting. Budget-friendly , high-quality , eco-friendly and very beautiful👍😁
Thank you, Cheers
My heart was bleeding when you used the grinder next to the damper without covering or masking it! Beside that - Chapeau!!!
Just enjoy seeing the whole build in a row again!
Seriously impressed at all the welding on frame without clamping yet no warning

Ideas from a brilliant mind. I hope all engineering students in colleges around the country are shown this episode.
I thought actually touching a machine was below engineers..
Dont they just do autocad,excel, and finite element analysis.?..
@Spitch Grizwald oh that’s a bit critical Spitch, maybe post up some examples of the ones you’ve built and let’s all have a look at those? 🤔

NICE! didn't have to hear you talk at all. Seeing is believing . A picture is worth a thousand words.
A Video a million words.
It’s great to see how far technology has come. This bike is beautiful
Good seeing the whole build in one video, real cool!
Special person we have here. I admire his talents greatly.
Cheers 🍻
Good seeing the whole build in one video, real coo
Enjoy the entire build process and general design. Most impressed by use of plasma profiler. Thanks for great vids.
This is really "out of the box" painting rusty art.
Naked and simple frame but really detailed
👍🏻
Undoubtedly, but, definitely, a unique, unprecedented, unparalleled, unmatched, masterpiece of determination , dedication, and achievement.
I wish they would bring back the great biker build off. That was a great show.

I have no words to describe such an excellent job
I was mesmerized! FAN FREAKING TASTIC!
Must admit i wasnt keen at first but it came out amazing well done Matt.
Thanks
What a bike should look like. Engine. Frame and wheels. Nice work

Fantastic motor. And the plasma thing ruins everything for me. I want craftmanship - not robots making things.
Unbelievable, never seen anyone with your skillset.

i always did like that bike. it appeals to the mad max part of me. great build Matt....
great fab work , nice custom take on the Nimbus frame
Nice. You did one helluva job bruh. Bike looks totally awesome.
A quedado niquelado, un abrazo compañero desde la Comarca de la Verá.
The jig making was cool
Enough!
Bike is nuts.
Plasma cutter is was cool
Cheers Tom.
Wonderful thought,precision workmanship! Great fabricator!

Great channel, great skills, "liked" and definitely a new sub, cheers man 👍
it looks heavy but amazing crafting skills ,well done
Wow! The skill in multiple disiplines is great to see in a young man, BUT the doll freaks me out! Love to see you do a CBX based bike. Thanks Matt.
Freaking sweet !!! I want one !!! Now this is what you do call "ONE OF A KIND !!!" FANTASTIC WORK OF ART !!! ✌
Yeah, but if you got one they wouldn't be one of a kind any more. It'd be a production model.
This guy's welds are superb😮
Amazing workmanship, love watching, keep up the fantastic work
Bravo!

Exceptional build.
As long as you don't have to make a panic stop at speed you should be safe!
What a wonderful way to make a make a custom frail. Lots of project and great results.
This is by far the best bike building project I have ever seen.... Just loved your efforts.... Bike came out very good.... She is a beast..
Thanks
Wow.... what you’ve created is a credit to your imagination, talent and abilities. Xtreme plasma tabes must be over the moon with what you made for them using their product. Noice mate. Noice
Thanks Mike
Beautiful job Matt and I like the Honda Engine, quiet but powerful.
OK, your very creative and I'm a bit green with envy but the rust condition is over the top, awesome build.
That turned out really NICE!
Utterly amazed noone stole the frame at the beach! lol
I forgot how beautiful that tank turned out! Cheers for building, Matt!
This guy has mad abilitiess
Very nice. That CNC plasma cutter is the outstanding difference. Nice welding too. Not sure about the rust finished frame, or the "fair weather" back fender. It's your ass, but, I get where you're going with it though. The "no leaks" gas tank was impressive, done on the first weld-up. Again, I say, nice job.
Great job, very skilled.
Two petcocks?
Slide mounted rear caliper for when chain is adjusted backward.
What was the final weight of the big beefy boi?
Matt you're such an artist 👌
You my friend are a brilliant Craftsman
Absolutely superb work buddy ! Full build in one video love your work ! A Harley engine would of been the game changer
Harley engines are pedestrian. A Suzuki 1300 Is better.
If he'd used a Harley then it would have been just another 2 wheeled tractor..... 98% of Harleys are still on the road the other 2% made it home.....
@@aussietruckphotosandmodels8510 ha ha! Nice one Aussie 😊
The Honda CB engine he used is a classic beauty.
That plasma cutter is awesome !!
you sir is a very talented artist.. what a great build
Must admit. Didnt like the design at 1st. But the end product is bloody awesome. Well done fella👍
Thanks 👍
Built not bought to the max! Awesome bike.
One Person, many skills. Respect!
What a treat to watch. Really nice, Thanks a lot.
Cheers
Magnificent eye for detail. You are a credit to your profession. Outstanding work
🚐☕️☕️👍🏼🏴🌈🙏🏼💙❤️💙❤️
You nearly had me fool the first time around with the rusty frame.....Great looking bike..
Really, really impressive engineering, great work.
Absolutely epic build man you are very gifted
Outstanding artwork
That plasma cutter you have is bloody brilliant nice piece of Equipment 🇦🇺🤝🇬🇧👍
Nice build yet again, if you left that frame at any beach near my area it
would have been nicked within the first hour.😂
Love that test ride, not a number plate in sight.🤔
That is the way to be.😉👍
OUTSTANDING DIY, I'm diggin it!!!
You are so educated and talented. WOW.
Got to be the best thing I’ve seen built on TH-cam, nice work mate.
Thanks 👍
That was an excellent montage Matt. I hate to think of the editing hours you put in on that one. The bike looks great and appears to ride well despite the early naysayers. It really showcases the plasma cutting capability which was obviously the primary objective. All the best Mart in Solihull.

Very cool, great vid!!! 👍👍👍
Don't know if you did this, the frame looks great but my OCD cleaning wouldn't let me keep it in a "raw" rusted state I'd have had to spray if with a matt clear coat. Great looking bobber.
That Was Simply Brilliant!!!! ManyThanx
You were very lucky to find that chassis there after two weeks.
That’s right up my street lovely nice job 👍🏻
Hello from Martinique F.W.I...Nice job !! thanks for this video...
Fanbloodytastic Matt you are one talented bloke what a lovely creation does it ride as good as it looks 👍👨🏻🏭
It does mate.
Superb work of art! One small niggle though - I know you counterpointed the rust with the shiny aluminium but... IMHO, rusted steel girder front suspension would've completed the look.
15:00 Tesla truck fuel tank? The CNC style cutting metal is the best part of your videos man, I would like to see some Rat Rod shit with this Tech. Love this build!!!
Excellent mate, very skilled
The video and the bike, both superbly designed and engineered. Impressive 👍
Thanks
@@Urchfab What does it weigh? I’m guessing about twice the original.
Absolutely love this bike been a 1 off build looks awesome Matt great job 💯👍s Up cheers KC Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝🇬🇧🇬🇧😎🙂👍
Awesome work! Would be good to see you team up with Allen Millyard. You building the frame and him the engine 😎
That's a fantastic build, I agree with you on the holes, round holes like aircraft spars would've looked great. Interesting choice of wheels, quite a juxtaposition

Nice build very cool old school sound👍 More burnouts lol👍🇬🇧
Great job.👍I love the plate concept with I-beam style. Super sick. 👌 sounds awesome too.
I would ride that ! great workmanship and designing. 👍
What a talent!!! Hats off...
Looks awesome. Don't forget to lockout your shock on the uphills
Sick build ! Your one talented designer/fabricator
I just found your channel and subscribed! You Sir, are an artist. I loved watching it all come together.
