Thank you for this clear and concise video. Can I ask you to get and use some safety glasses? Especially when dealing with any springs--and angle grinders. I temporarily went blind in my right eye due to a detached retina. It was scary. And laying face down for a solid week is awful. I'd just hate to see somebody go through that unnecessarily.
Shoooks that sounds shitty! You know I've improved since. Was listening to Joe Rogans pod with the owner of Henesy tuning company from USA and he's had multiple eye surgeries from fabrication work without protection. thanks tho, I'll make sure to be more careful!
@@mancavecustoms13 It's honestly so awful. The worst part--other than an entire week flat on my stomach--was waking up during the surgery. 😳 Can you imagine suddenly becoming aware that there's a little camera and a light saber thingy inside your eyeball, going zap zap zap. 😭😭😭 But thank you for taking my message to heart. I still forget occasionally, too. But then I stop and put on my glasses--and hearing protection if it's a noisy grinder or the like. (I've also gone a little deaf, too. Ugh.)
Well at the moment I'm not building anything I'm kind of doing my research before I buy the bike but I am considering a Honda 600 R or 650L. Trying to get as much knowledge as possible before picking out the bike. I really appreciate your video.
Hey, Thanks for the feedback. I think its a fair point, however in this application they had no chance to tangle up with each other. I didn't mention that, thats true. If it'd be done 'the right way' i agree to you. But also if it would be done 'the right way' it would probably just have proper lowering springs. :P
@@robertciganovic965 it will still change slightly, because the wheel bas will get shorter. I'd say Lowe front first and see how it feels. Unless your a track guy, it's unlikely it will make a crazy difference. I didn't mind the change at all!
It was a little hard to see, but you only put back the the large piece of the spring right? The 4cm cut off were thrown in the trash? It just looked to me, like you put the 4cm cut off piece in aswell? 🤷
Sorry for the late reply my guy, yes, I placed the original spacer and the cut off back on the fork piston, as that is what makes the fork tubes stay deeper in the fork legs. I hope that makes sense!
Hey! There are definitely ways to do it, but generally it will be vary janky and make the bike unrideable. You could, for example, cut the springs - very popular technique on cars.

Good stuff man! Make sure to make some videos. I'd love to see your result!

Very cool. Thanks
Glad i could be of help mate, what you're building?

Great video, but I would suggest to use a solid spacer for the dampers instead of reusing the cut off spring. Cheers!

@@mancavecustoms13 well, if it works, it works right? :D thanks for commenting on my video btw! Peace
@@yoshuavillar Spreading the Algorythm love my guy! Take care
Thanks for tutorial
Nice work, helped me out plenty cheers!
Glad it helped! Let me know if you need any more DIYs 👊🏼
Cool presentation 🔊
Thanks so much!
I actually want higher forks
dont think theres a simple solution for that, unfortnately. Depends on what bike but normally theres a bunch of cheap forks swap options.
But does this not also change the geometry of the bike
Well, yes any such changes will. Lowering front I'd assume decreases the rake angle, making the cornering snappier, but less highway stability
@@mancavecustoms13 so one have to lower it same amount back to then

I think he putted the 4cm spring to the bottom of the piston and large one at the top side as usual.
He inserted the 4cm cut off spring and original spacing spring together.
Sorry for the late reply my guy, yes, I placed the original spacer and the cut off back on the fork piston, as that is what makes the fork tubes stay deeper in the fork legs. I hope that makes sense!
And now how to lower the back.

Impressive skills, on the video editing and mechanics, I wonder, what else can you do? Can you build a house? 🙃
Thats in my 5 years plan! Thanks for the feedback
@@mancavecustoms13 Perhaps you should sing a song about that 😜
Nice! thanks! 😂 🏍️
Any time! Glad it was useful!
😎👍
The bike is looking mean!!
Thanks brother 👍🏼👊🏼

Cheers bud Thanks for watching
Thanks!
Any time brother, let me know if you need anything else!
What kind of bike no it doesn't matter but I have the same tubes
