You should call it ghost rider 😅 and make a windshield thing and Ilenclose it so it looks like no one is driving it or do a secound design and have the seat normal and moved the gokart seat and move the wheels back like a normal three wheel bike but either way it was dope for 24 hrs
I would like to see 24HR VS challenges too. (Does anyone remember junkyard wars?) Maybe break them into workable hours, like 3 8hr days that way no one gets hurt from lack of sleep.
I wanna see an engineered version of this build now. the idea of converting a sport bike into a single seat reverse trike is just so cool, and even this 24-hour challenge version is such a cool execution of the concept. now I wanna see the guys do a fully engineered version of this thing!
... I'm totally on board with this idea. Do it with a late 70's Honda CBX. They're powered by a big old air cooled straight 6 with carbs and have the sweetest exhaust scream, just like a classic F1 race car. Google CBX exhaust sound and see what I mean...
So, you know how sidecar racing is a thing... this could be a new 2 person motorsport... the guy in the back controls the throttle and brake, while the guy in the front steers.... it was a total accident but i think this could actually be pretty amazing... and a great way to use all the smashed up street bikes and old quads that are sitting around collecting dust... please do another episode like this!
Kind of like how To Gear did the double decker racing. Two cars, one on top of the other. From memory the one on top drove, the one one on the bottom accelerated/braked. And naturally they made us Aussies race with the guy in the top car upside down. 😂
Oh boy, it has to be done!!! But 3 guys: machinist (throttle and brake), pilot (steering) and the gunner (with enough arrows, turtle shells, bananas, etc)
I do that when I run heavy equipment, let the exhaust warm your gloves on your machine so they stay warm for minutes, leather gloves or cow Hyde in particular
IKR using the muffler can wouldn't get all the exhaust smell on your gloves. The radiator would also never work LOL. Touching the engine is also not cave man enough.
As an older, former sportbike guy (I have a video on my '05 R1 at Heartland Park Topeka on my channel, I'm not fast though.), I have also experienced the, "The cop thought I WAS running" when I was in fact slowing down the whole time. Edit: DAMN!!! YOU GUYS NEED TO MAKE IT SO THE BIKE STAYS LIKE THAT!!!! Give the passenger some handlebars and that could be faired to look cool too, I think!
This looks perfect, with the exhaust so far back, this is just a swanky high speed camera rig. Can't wait to see it used that way, it's perfect, especially if you can quiet the exhaust further when needed
Crazy trip, Will! Would love to join you guys on an adventure like that! Edit: I think this is a bit of an ugly duckling but it could grow into something really cool
Duuuuuuude.....!!!! This thing is badass!!! You definitely need to go to the sketching board and come up with your own design but the same concept!!! I love this!
Will is a 40k Ork. You can't change my mind. This was the most jank build I've seen on the channel and yet it works. The sheer amount of swindling involved is a testament to his stubbornness to see this project through, no matter how sketchy it looks.
I reckon. you hit something head on and bits of shin bone are gonna be introduced to your internal organs with the front of an engine meeting in the middle. its great for 24 hours but i'd be wanting something of a crash structure up front with a cover for the front shocks
My thoughts exactly. I understand with the sport bike it's already really long and so there's not much space for the human, but I think having space for your feet is important. I actually want to build one out of a scooter now.
Like rocko's modern life, only this is "Will's premium life"! What a great idea to get Will to build something so wonky, yet so much fun, Well done Will!!!
I rarely like videos, cause I'm lazy, but holy swindle lords Edwin. Nice fricken job and I think I speak for everyone when I say I'm so happy to see more of Will now that he's a full time employee and a responsible 22 year old
Hey don't knock beer cans for multi technical engineering purposes bro lol, I have used them many times for precision shimming and spacing jobs, also alway on my exhaust packing and sealing between pipes and clamps, working awesomely dude 👌, what a great show, glad you didn't get the hailstorm like I rode with here 👍
as sketchy as it looks this thing looks sick af.. best recumbent motorcycle design ive seen . in terms of initial design XD. bro add some premium tube bends and maybe design or re-work the whole frame for some stability and this thing would be heavenly
Lunatics, the lot of you ....... I love it. Not good on the eyes, but its amazing to see it actually works great...... leg breaker if you hit anything as well .... super awesome
Your on a roll no doubt, great job. You can go to the county or state auctions and buy totaled super bikes. I wanted to build one to go cross country with a klr 650 I had. Rather sit down than sit up for a few thousand miles. Pull a trailer with camper....awesome build in a short time. Thanks for sharing.
You should add a Mr. Heater radiant heater--and patch that floor. Those two things would make your garage life so much nicer. You could even make that an episode.
Will's really getting his hands dirty now! I'm here for it. 😎 ...My real biggest concern here, is the cooling system bursting open, and burning your back/neck.....
Will's butcher box commercial was hilarious. It would be cool to see Ethan take this project mostly apart, and build it his way. Can't imagine how many hexagons and clean lines there would be... plus major upgrade in safety.. Lol great job Will.
Bro. when I saw you describe your idea I thought it was trash. This thing is actually sick. Great job!!! The most valuable thing is your creativity. You killed it on this one.
This looks like something from a Max Max movie. I could picture this being in a film with a rider on the back who would be able to shoot from the vehicle and this modification being done this way to keep the driver out of the way. Plus the rider could easily jump from the vehicle. All in all, way sketchy but super cool. Thanks for sharing guys.
First ganggg! Woke up late as heck today to a BANGER as always🤝🤝🙏🫡🫡 & yes I commented while watching the intro etc bc WHO DOESNT KNOW THIS ISNT GONNA BE ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO‼️💯😁
As iffy as it looks right now I still love it and it would definitely look marginally better than a slingshot with a bit of tlc and a nice paint job. Great job!
I would literally pay you for one of these as a kit to attach to a motorcycle, go get a motorcycle, and assemble the trike with studded snow tires for up here in Alaska. That thing is AWESOME!
You guys should build a Hayabusa swapped smart car or geo rally conversion I think it would be sick!! I think a fwd geo prism would be simple and effective
Hola!!! Soy de México me gustan sus videos y mas aún su mecánica su forma de trabajar por fortuna tienen todo y pueden hacer lo que su imaginación les de que envidia de la buena claro hermanos !!!!
That is one scary build. You should definitely let Ethan go over the welds and maybe add some bracing. I don't like that you feet are way out front like that. If you go into the back of something, it is going to do some serious damage to your legs. I can't imaging this getting approved to be road legal, and thank goodness for that as this is easily the most dangerous build ever to come out of GHP.
This appears to be the perfect two passenger configuration. For longer rallies like the Baja 500 or NORRA 1000, you need that co-pilot or you're flying blindly into ravines at 150+ MPH. Once you can complete King of Hammers, you should be golden; the trike will be strong enough to hang for the rest when all the weakness is pounded out of it first.
Lmao. This what happens when Will is left alone… This needs named, the death trap. Or Will’s coffin lol. Love it. Like something I’d built when I was 12 lol. You guys are the best. Never a dull video. Keep up the good work! 👍🤘👏
Keep up the good work you guys have some awesome projects and creations I'm always happy to see your videos and watch him you guys are amazing keep up the good work
Looks like you could shorten the wheelbase by about 8 inches if you deleted the whole triple tree neck joint area and moved the engine and swingarm forward, then made side mount radiators. Might be able to tilt the engine down and mount some other stuff (like the battery and gas tank) on the sides down low to to help lower the CG. After that, probably widen the front to be about as wide as a UTV (so 64-72 inches), and if you want to get REALLY crazy, you can make it fit motorcycle 17" front wheels and turn it into a leaning trike. Or give it car wheels (IMO 15x8 Enkei RPF1's) with some badass 205-225mm wide 200TW tires for street traction but DON'T make it a leaning trike.
Comment if you want to see more 24hour challenges!
You should call it ghost rider 😅 and make a windshield thing and Ilenclose it so it looks like no one is driving it or do a secound design and have the seat normal and moved the gokart seat and move the wheels back like a normal three wheel bike but either way it was dope for 24 hrs
More Will bangers please.
these are crazy and I love the things they cook up, but I'd defiantly love to see the videos be longer.
I would like to see 24HR VS challenges too. (Does anyone remember junkyard wars?) Maybe break them into workable hours, like 3 8hr days that way no one gets hurt from lack of sleep.
yes please!

hell yeah, the 24hr proof-of-concept build, then a properly engineered version later!
I came here to write the exact same thing. I’d like to see a properly executed version of this built to the typically high GHP standards.
Technically, this version is a two seater. You could easily put someone in the original seat.
I mean they even said, this is basically a Slingshot. So a "fully engineered" version would basically just be a Slingshot
And we shall call it " 3 Willy"
Love it! That's a fantastic name
*Chef's kiss* Perfetto!
I second this.
To the top 😂
Premium name !
I aspire to be as smart as Ethan and as chill/vibey as Will someday.
facts
I want the camera skills of Edwin and the build skills of Ethan.
@@puskunk and the drip of Steven
Same
So, you know how sidecar racing is a thing... this could be a new 2 person motorsport... the guy in the back controls the throttle and brake, while the guy in the front steers.... it was a total accident but i think this could actually be pretty amazing... and a great way to use all the smashed up street bikes and old quads that are sitting around collecting dust... please do another episode like this!
give the passenger a bow n arrow/projectile device and set up targets round the track. that'd be awesome to watch
Kind of like how To Gear did the double decker racing. Two cars, one on top of the other. From memory the one on top drove, the one one on the bottom accelerated/braked.
And naturally they made us Aussies race with the guy in the top car upside down. 😂
Call it front car
Would pay to see James May participate
Oh boy, it has to be done!!!
But 3 guys: machinist (throttle and brake), pilot (steering) and the gunner (with enough arrows, turtle shells, bananas, etc)
I’m just loving Will’s side quests, definitely need to see more.
hearing about Will's history with the law only made his interaction with the seller that much more entertaining
the seller seemed so fucking sus lmfao definitely giving off "brotherhood" vibes
@@internetusername9593 lol he seemed like an extremely chill kind of "outlaw"
@@piuthemagicman lol if you've been to that area of idaho you know they are "chill" until they aren't.
WILL USING THE EXAUST TO WARM HIS HANDS IS SO ICONIC LOL
If you ride, you know.
I do that when I run heavy equipment, let the exhaust warm your gloves on your machine so they stay warm for minutes, leather gloves or cow Hyde in particular
IKR using the muffler can wouldn't get all the exhaust smell on your gloves. The radiator would also never work LOL. Touching the engine is also not cave man enough.
Anyone who rides has been there!😂
My face hurts laughing at the beginning of this video, Will you are a very cool dude.
Will’s the best!
As an older, former sportbike guy (I have a video on my '05 R1 at Heartland Park Topeka on my channel, I'm not fast though.), I have also experienced the, "The cop thought I WAS running" when I was in fact slowing down the whole time.

Officer - "You have the right to remain silent"
Dude - "I was going WAY faster than that!"
😅😅 me to ha ha
Will is like if your best boy doggo was a person. I mean that as a compliment lol. Love the fun and positive energy from this kid 👍
This may be the most unusual, but fun build you ever did!
Fantastic... you took a dangerous machine and made it a complete deathtrap.
Crazy trip, Will! Would love to join you guys on an adventure like that!
Edit: I think this is a bit of an ugly duckling but it could grow into something really cool
Let's go Will, you got this brotha.
Indeed loved it
That machine definitely has some Mad Max aesthetics! I like it 👍
Duuuuuuude.....!!!! This thing is badass!!! You definitely need to go to the sketching board and come up with your own design but the same concept!!! I love this!
Never change, Will
Will is a 40k Ork. You can't change my mind. This was the most jank build I've seen on the channel and yet it works. The sheer amount of swindling involved is a testament to his stubbornness to see this project through, no matter how sketchy it looks.
4:29 Remember kids, before you dismantle\work on your bike always get it as hot as possible.
Wills videos are starting to become my favourite content, so good
Am I the only one terrified for his legs?😂 also I think it looks premiun, definitely needs finished properly at some point
I reckon. you hit something head on and bits of shin bone are gonna be introduced to your internal organs with the front of an engine meeting in the middle. its great for 24 hours but i'd be wanting something of a crash structure up front with a cover for the front shocks
human crumple zone
My thoughts exactly. I understand with the sport bike it's already really long and so there's not much space for the human, but I think having space for your feet is important. I actually want to build one out of a scooter now.
a light crash at like 20mph into a firm stop and both his legs are snapped
Like rocko's modern life, only this is "Will's premium life"!
What a great idea to get Will to build something so wonky, yet so much fun,
Well done Will!!!
i need to show my appreciation for will, always bringing them good vibes into the channel
this thing looks so fun to drive I wish I had space to make projects like this
I love that you two genuinely love what you are doing and seem so happy. Even the ads bring a smile to my face.
never leave Will alone again!
I rarely like videos, cause I'm lazy, but holy swindle lords Edwin. Nice fricken job and I think I speak for everyone when I say I'm so happy to see more of Will now that he's a full time employee and a responsible 22 year old
Will is the man!! Good job brother
That was hilarious😂 so cool. The fear/excitement in Will’s voice on the first test drive haha
Hey don't knock beer cans for multi technical engineering purposes bro lol, I have used them many times for precision shimming and spacing jobs, also alway on my exhaust packing and sealing between pipes and clamps, working awesomely dude 👌, what a great show, glad you didn't get the hailstorm like I rode with here 👍
Will, you're a madman.
as sketchy as it looks this thing looks sick af.. best recumbent motorcycle design ive seen . in terms of initial design XD. bro add some premium tube bends and maybe design or re-work the whole frame for some stability and this thing would be heavenly
Honestly this thing could become really cool with a lot more time put in
Props for always producing clean, family videos.
I can’t see reply’s as YT has been blocking me from seeing them for some time.
Lunatics, the lot of you ....... I love it. Not good on the eyes, but its amazing to see it actually works great...... leg breaker if you hit anything as well .... super awesome
Crushed the goal with a 6 hour nap. ❤
I think rebuild it with a little help and like 30% less jank would be cool
Your on a roll no doubt, great job. You can go to the county or state auctions and buy totaled super bikes. I wanted to build one to go cross country with a klr 650 I had. Rather sit down than sit up for a few thousand miles. Pull a trailer with camper....awesome build in a short time. Thanks for sharing.
Will, please never stop being you. And not one occasion of the back pocket phone!?
8:17 Wheres your phone, Will? The next day Will's hoodie becomes sentient and starts its takeover of the world.
You should add a Mr. Heater radiant heater--and patch that floor. Those two things would make your garage life so much nicer. You could even make that an episode.
The fact that the guy introduced himself by saying he just got out of jail was awesome
love it! You guys need a big ass 6ft digital clock that counts down behind the builder, just to make it real for everyone
Excellent video ......workmanship ....out of this world.....great job on build !!.... thanks for sharing this with us
You guys did good bringing Will on. He adds some good comedy.
This is amazing..
Shaft-driven, pivoting-swing-arm, rear-wheel-steering version next?!
The aluminum for a shim would be sufficient, it's the plastic liner inside the can that makes it too dangerous to use. Glad it held!! 😁👍👍💪💪
This looks entirely too much fun. I'm so glad I found your channel you do so much custom fabrication for all kinds of fun stuff!
Will's really getting his hands dirty now! I'm here for it. 😎 ...My real biggest concern here, is the cooling system bursting open, and burning your back/neck.....
That looks very upsetting. I love it.
Will's butcher box commercial was hilarious. It would be cool to see Ethan take this project mostly apart, and build it his way. Can't imagine how many hexagons and clean lines there would be... plus major upgrade in safety.. Lol great job Will.
This thing looks the sketchiest machine that has ever been on the Grind Hard Channel.
I absolutely love it 👌🏻
The most absurd build yet. Two person mode is hilarious. It kinda looks futuristic in a cyberpunk way.
Bro. when I saw you describe your idea I thought it was trash. This thing is actually sick. Great job!!! The most valuable thing is your creativity. You killed it on this one.
Havent got to the end yet. But i want to see you guys build this 100% best u can. Kind of a sick as build even ad a 24 hr build
u should do a video of you two riding the motorcycle but one guy accelerates and otrher one have the control of the brakes, that shuld be interesting
the fact its a 2 seater makes it so much better
Good job Willy!! Love to see you claim a W
This looks like something from a Max Max movie.

First ganggg! Woke up late as heck today to a BANGER as always🤝🤝🙏🫡🫡
& yes I commented while watching the intro etc bc WHO DOESNT KNOW THIS ISNT GONNA BE ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO‼️💯😁
Also where are you guys located again? I want to give you something hopefully soonish in the future and see what you would do with it hahah
The seller of the bike was an absolute legend!😂😂
Thats my boy! Thiks hes a rock star!
Beercan shims...I've done that on few occasions. Also did aluminium foil shims for Rifle scope mounts.
I really enjoy these 24hr videos! 👏👏
Man I respect the commitment to ride at night in snow 😵💫.
Put custom handlebars for the back passenger 😂
Over-the-Speed-Limit Will was super natural doing that ad, I wasn't expecting that. xD
Need your boy Ethan there helping you out, don't you?! But I got faith in you Will, get er done son!!!!
As iffy as it looks right now I still love it and it would definitely look marginally better than a slingshot with a bit of tlc and a nice paint job. Great job!
Hahaha the guys at the beginning. Total cast of characters
This build has inspired me..... I have a 1997 Suzuki QuadSport 230s and a 1987 Yamaha Venture Royale 1300........... I now need to combine the 2, lol
Will content is like the old Sam content, not often but when it's here i love it. More Will content please. Or even better, Will and Sam!
I would literally pay you for one of these as a kit to attach to a motorcycle, go get a motorcycle, and assemble the trike with studded snow tires for up here in Alaska. That thing is AWESOME!
You guys should build a Hayabusa swapped smart car or geo rally conversion I think it would be sick!! I think a fwd geo prism would be simple and effective
I love it when Dad goes away for the weekend and the kids are left on their own 🤣
You could market that idea... It's like this slingshot ... In a different way could sell it 💯💯💯🔥

These guys are insane but Brilliant,Got to love these guys:-)
Totally do ❤❤❤❤
you should make a series where you have 24h, 72h and 120h to build and improve a build

that is the swindliest machine I've ever seen on the channel, it puckered my starfish and I'm just watching the video!
Well you got out of doing a ton of pushups! Fun vid, Plumbers!
I didn’t know you other guys could build stuff, pretty cool.
We definitely need a rebuild of this thing. It’s got potential
Y’all deserve to give yourself a shop makeover and a bigger one!
Looks like you got a lil flavor savor at 9:38 😂
yesss another awesome vid
awesome as always.thanks for sharing and taking us along.
Lmao. This what happens when Will is left alone… This needs named, the death trap. Or Will’s coffin lol. Love it. Like something I’d built when I was 12 lol. You guys are the best. Never a dull video. Keep up the good work! 👍🤘👏
Great video boys!
Would be super fun to kick it with you guys and tinker around the property!
Keep up the good work you guys have some awesome projects and creations I'm always happy to see your videos and watch him you guys are amazing keep up the good work
Surely a refined version of this is the future of human transportation?
This really needs the full Grind Hard treatment. I’d loose the legs forward contraption though. That’s just screaming femur fractures
Looks like you could shorten the wheelbase by about 8 inches if you deleted the whole triple tree neck joint area and moved the engine and swingarm forward, then made side mount radiators.

@grindhardplumbingco this is sick! Ive always wanted to chop a bike and weld it up like this!
This is amazing! 😂🤍
Looking at the plates on the sellers rigs, you were in my neck of the woods. Cool that such great content is coming out of Idaho!
