Awesome I loved how you made that I thought it was a real motor cycle roller with an after market motor keep doing it won't be long I'll be watching you on a cable TV biker build off
Where can one buy the torque converter and what does one ask for? How did you bend the pipe for the part under and in front of the engine? I LIKE your tail light - it's VISIBLE, which is someting critical for motorcycle safety.
one thing you gotta remember anyway, yout back brake is only 30% of your stopping power, the front one is where most of your stopping power should be. its easier to push the bike to a stop (front brake) than to pull it. (rear brake)
@@hashem6080 actually no it wont unless you slam onto them, if your moderate and know how to brake properly you would actually know that if you try to use the back brake as your main brake, then you risk sliding which can result in a layover due to loss of control, so get your facts straight troll.
@@hashem6080 Not much riding experience ? The purpose of the rear brake is simply to keep the bike straight when braking. There is next to no stopping power at the rear.
DuroMax makes a cheap 18 Hp 440cc engine that would be great on this bike. It also has electric start. The engines are the same blue color. The DuroMax 440cc is a little bigger and would fill in the frame nicely.
I got carried away on how great Clone Honda's are I got off my questions for you. Where do you get the power for the lights? Also where can I find Chinese made torque converters at? I have been asked to build something that will use a Clonda 6.5 and most likely some type of torque converter as well. My project will need a flashing light and possibly a headlight. That's why I am asking how did you power yours. From the other responses you should build a few of these bikes and sell them. Water pipe is plenty cheap and easily found at the scrap yard. My H Freight bender has more than paid for itself.
Hey nice build we should live closer together. I've also built several black water pipe bikes it's good for farm gates, and to many items to list. Just wondering where are you getting power from your Clonda to run the lights? Oh btw those Greyhound Clonda engines are the best. I've replaced all our small engines on the farm with them. They have an awful bad problem of cranking on the first pull after setting for months. They burn less fuel than any other engine as well. Replaced an 8 horse Kohler on our Troybuilt tiller, the Clonda seems more powerful and uses a fraction of the gas as the more than $400 Kohler it replaced.
How's it ride? it looks like a lot of fun. Bummer about being stopped. Did you get a ticket? I'm curious what it would take to get registered.That's one of the reasons I'm having fun with the motorized bicycle. The cops ignore them here so far.
It rides surprisingly well for something homemade. No, I didn't get a ticket or anything, just a warning. I'm planning on registering it as a 50cc so that I can drive it on the road.
If you search on Google about these bikes, they are a very rare build, i couldn't find much of anything online only two youtube videos one is yours and another one where a guy put a predator engine on his, i got a frame lined up already for cheap, awesome video, do you still have this today?
im going to be building a motorcycle with some old parts i have sitting around i have a Briggs and Stratton 5 hp Flathead some old bicycle wheels and some lawnmower wheels the frame came from my local junkyard
No offense but,the idea is good and the design and all that.but I have one question,how long can it withstand for daily usage for lets say riding it in estate?Hows the safety cause you are using water pipes right?Is it enough framing it with water pipes?
please make a tutorial on how to make this, im thinking of making one and I cnt find a tutorial that's right for me. Unfortunately I don't know the first thing about motorbikes so if you do make a tutorial cud u make it EXTREMELY simple :)
O.K......You only have two shocks? Why not make a rising rate monoshock, for the rear, and a parallelogram front end? With a little mechanical sorting, and calculations, you could have suspension on both ends, at no more cost. Fun challenge, too.
hi , was wondering if you could help me out, im putting a 212cc 7hp generator/lawnmower engine on a bicycle with 27" tires. what would be a good gear ratio. i want it to have a high top speed but also a lot of torque. i was thinking 7:1 would this be ok? thanks
sonny barton That would give you a top speed of 41 mph. That ratio is a bit too high for that engine to give you good low end torque, but still doable. I'd be more worried about going that fast on a bicycle. A 9:1 ratio would be better.
Keep the back light, It looks great! this bike is PERFECT!
you have a ton of space in that frame, you should get the predator 670cc vtwin :)
Eclipse Gaming I agree
Do it!!
i disagree keep it light and fun that v twin will have tons of power yea but its more complicated to fix and heavy not ideal for just putting around
Good looking build.most older guys couldn't do as well. Keep building.
This is a great example of doing what you can with what you got and it works good job
Awesome I loved how you made that I thought it was a real motor cycle roller with an after market motor keep doing it won't be long I'll be watching you on a cable TV biker build off
Nice man, i'm trying to build a 1936 harley knucklehead inspired bike, this vid helped me out!

Man, is awesome that people like you are doing this!!, this is just Brilliant!!, keep doing it =D
It cost around $200, but I already had the engine and torque converter. It would cost closer to $450 to build from scratch.
good job. Tank is a 60's after market for BSA 441 victor. I am bulding one at the moment do I was glad to see your video
one thing you gotta remember anyway, yout back brake is only 30% of your stopping power, the front one is where most of your stopping power should be. its easier to push the bike to a stop (front brake) than to pull it. (rear brake)
Your an evil person, you know if you brake using the front brakes it'll flip the bike. You disgust me

I like your usage of the word "Chinese" if it is within my price range, it must be Chinese.
just a suggestion: If you wanted to be cheap with front suspension, you could make a springer fork.
just amazing work! i love the use of the small engine!
Nice job a work in progress project
This is really cool :D I've always wanted to make my own motorcycle, but the lack of material and tools is stopping me.

wow what a wonderful looking bike how much did the project cost?
rusty gold Not sure. Probably about $400.
wow that's pretty good for a build like that
+leafyism now make one that's 50cc so its street legal. And with no license required!
+Madden Madness get a license xD
Andrew Gamer not old enough

Slide some handlebar grips on the foot pegs for instant foot padding.
Brilliant job man.
You have done a nice job!
There is a UHMW block that the chain slides along on the top of the swingarm. The chain never touches the frame or wears through the plastic.
im going to be building a motorcycle with some old parts i have sitting around i have a Briggs and Stratton 5 hp Flathead some old bicycle wheels and some lawnmower wheels the frame came from my local junkyard
How great is that? Nice work.
Nicely done!
No offense but,the idea is good and the design and all that.but I have one question,how long can it withstand for daily usage for lets say riding it in estate?Hows the safety cause you are using water pipes right?Is it enough framing it with water pipes?
thats three questions fukboi
GREAT JOB! How do You power the lights ?
Nice ride!
I like this a lot, but I'd move the exhaust under the rear fender and away from myself. Also, what did you do to keep the chain off the frame?
Nice lawn mower ...... and it runs !
Watch out for ethanol laced gasoline. It will eat up the fiberglass tank
That bike is cool as hell, I love the look of it... You get it registered and everything? I've heard it can be a pain on homemade bikes...
Thanks. No, it's not registered, and yeah, it would definitely be a pain.
please make a tutorial on how to make this, im thinking of making one and I cnt find a tutorial that's right for me. Unfortunately I don't know the first thing about motorbikes so if you do make a tutorial cud u make it EXTREMELY simple :)

Nice job dude.
Kool Bean's nice job...
Good job 👌
Awesome job.
Can you make something like this street legal? Or drivable on the highway ?
stand that thing up pimpin.
great,looks heavy for that motor,i have made one too.
nice job
keep it simple nice job
stand that thing up pimpin...
any suggestions on buying or making a cheap frame without having a welder
and if not put a centrifugal clutch torque converter?
good work....
When you say water pipe do you mean copper tubing? If so cool.
Black gas pipe. You can buy it from home depot.
Could have used old mountain bike for the front shocks
How do u make the rear suspension? i planned to make one on my ebike too.
So r the tubes hollow inside or like a bar
stand that thing up pimpin.....
Damn that is fast!

thankyou
Instructions?
nice good job
Let me know if I can get it off your hands!
How did you make the front forks?
wish i have one too
Nice build dude like seeing people construct projects like this shows skill and class Great work @leafyism
steady cam please
where did you get the frame?
do u need license and license plate in New jersey?
I hope so...
Legit!!
Weight?? MPG?
Still have the bike?
dude,m ur smart. great work,. kid
thats pro
Yeah, but I got stopped by the cops yesterday.
Hi is there a way I can contact you?
U want to sell it
put a 22hp v-twin from harbor freight in that thing and you've got yourself a proper motorcycle.
Shaman Credible I've always enjoyed hearing a single making a run down an old road!
Fonzie got nothing on this shit.
It so Facebook.com grope page ROD BC let us know
stand that thing up pimpin.
stand that thing up pimpin...
