This is what's great about Laura's channel. Putting your personal stamp/style into the things we use/create.
That is what making is all about I think
@@laurakampf That's why we're here :)

So sieht's aus! Und wenn man keine Ahnung hat, einfach mal machen. Könnte ja gut werden.
Für kleine Tipps und Tricks empfehle ich Dir den Kanal "Andis Funktionspunk".
Der ist einfach cool und entspannt.
Ansonsten, mach einfach weiter das, was Du magst. 👍🤘
@@thorstenhulser5008 Genau.... Aber Laura hat's drauf 👍😎
Oh man, that raspy 2 stroke engine. I'm getting flashbacks to my childhood in rural Florida.
Not knowing anything about customizing your bike hasn't stopped anyone in the history of motorcycling! You are carrying on a long tradition of making Your Bike, which is a Very Cool Thing. Thanks for another super cool video, Laura!!
welcome to the rabbit hole of customizing. enjoy. good job
Custom things are the best because you get a professionally made thing with just the right amount of you :)
Knipex, festool, this channel does not do cheap tools, very nice.
Hey Laura , I find it is easier to locate your posts now . When I see your smile it stops me in my tracks . Genuine and pleasant . A few more videos and I think I will be in love . Great music and videography . I look forward to many more .
That seat came out awesome!! Makes me want to try leather working!
That sewingmachine looks awesome.
Ayy my goodness this lady is badass! The genuine leather gave me in
It's pretty interesting how the new bike will look like. Thanks for the video!
How I know I've watched too much CraftyTube: See the box from Weaver, immediately hear Chuck Dorsett's slightly scratchy but immensely enthusiastic tones in my head introducing himself and Weaver Leathercraft. 😆
Good work with the tank and seat! I dig the (...brass? copper? gold?) pop rivets, and I assumed you were sanding the tank to put on multiple coats of gun blue, but it looks nice with the faded single coat.
You are doing very great work 😄😄
Tank looks awesome. Leather looks great!
I like it. The improvements can only get better as you learn
Well now, that is one Seriously built sewing machine! Beautiful!
What is the make and model of your industrial sewing machine?
@@daveswift9498 I was wondering that too since it looks fairly compact for a walking foot machine.
@@daveswift9498 looks like it is a Sailrite. Maybe LSZ-1 cool that they come Ina box. I don’t have room for a full time sewing table.
you brought so much class to this bike
I can almost smell that big roll of leather. The bike looks great!
Der Sattel ist aber Klasse! Alles sehr schön geworden!!
My dear Laura, you're amazing!
Can I sugest you a new chalenge who will help you a lot on the next projects? Bild a sandblast cabin to take off paint and rust, it is very pratic and you will expend less time.
Go for it girl, I'm your fan and I love everything you do.
Boah Laura, die Sitzbank ist so schoen!
Now i have some inspiration for my 1974 honda xl 125! Thanks for the video
Look awsome the seat came out great and the tank thats a neat look.
Beautiful how happy you are once the seat is on the bike ;)
The smile at 7:09.. when something turns out even better than expected!
got to be one of the best feelings in the world!
Let be honest, we were all smiling at how amazing that turned out.
Nailed it, well sewed it but you know. Great approachable way to do custom bikes stuff.
I loved this video! You are fantastic!
I love you work, toys, YOU.
I'm 100% for more motorcycle content!
next time use paint remover or have the tank commercially dipped or sandblasted, one spark in the wrong place and that is a bomb. Bike looks great.
Thank you for sharing the joy!
I love it..can’t wait until you paint it all up the way you want it!
1978DT! It was hard to watch you cut a clean seat pan as My friends and I have been preserving these old two strokes for decades. The seat turned out great! The tank too. You’ve certainly improved the overall look. Rear racks were popular and will fit from several different years and sizes. Great bike! They run good until you over heat the engine. So watch for that. You make my Sunday mornings. Thank you.
I think you’re very pleased with yourself, and you should be!!!
NICE WORK! keep enjoying the journey of learning and growing.
You are a great role model! Keep up the good work!.
Beautiful color of the tank 😍
This work looks very professional!
I have discovered one thing in life. "Laura Kampf" and "don't know how to ..." or "can't do ...." can never exist in the same sentence. Beautiful work as usual.
That magnetic vice looks handy AF!
Wow that gas tank is amazing
Hi Laura, not e factly my style mod. BUT YOU never seem to impress me with your skills and your shop! I look forward to a new video each week!
Thank you,
glen
Looks great! Looking forward to more like this...
Don't mind me taking some notes while watching this. Beautiful result! ❤
unfortunately the spray on glue tin was out of focus.
@@AgiHammerthief I use 3M spray adhesive for car linings. Works with leather and foams. And drys in about 5 min.
Laura, you are such a talented person. Everything that those hands touch emits a warmth to it that I can't explain. Love the way you treat every material like it is something special, even down to the edit of your videos. To me your work really is the definition of Art and Craft! 😍
Thank you!!
Wow! Looks great. Nice aesthetic.
I'll say it simple : I admire your creativity, skills and multi talents. You are a true inspiration to everyone who wants to make something on his own. Thanks a lot !!!
Thats true customizing spirit. I love that you just started without overthinking what others do, how they do and how to be cool. Awesome project! And a great result.
I'm busy restoring a 1979 Honda CBX 1000. I never thought I would ever tackle anything like this in my life!!! I saw a TH-cam video of the CBX. 6 Cylinders!!!! And it sounded like an F1 car! I knew instantly that I wanted one now!! I found one and flew 1000 miles and managed to drive it "most" of the way home, impressing lots of people along the way 😁. The thought of the restoration was daunting at first, and I wondered what I'd gotten myself into, but after 2 years, it is almost brand new again and I can't wait to get it on the road and hear that beautiful sound again!!! 😍🙏
Hello Laura! Love the result 😍 great job. Very inspiring.
Dang! Now I want a bike again. Nice work Laura
You are so amazing!! You Ispiring me in every video! ThankS!!!
Thanks very much for the solution to plating large parts
Oh I am looking forward to this endeavor ... this is something I've also wanted to do one day
Do it. Its fun. Done so much work to mine and learned alot in the process.
Good job Laura well done
Please make more videos like this one! and at the end you could make a long video with old the mods, thanks Laura, a fan from Argentina.
Those DT Yamaha where very well built dirt bikes. Not racing machines, but very good trail bikes for their day. A friend had a 250 back in the late 70's It was old, but was dependable as hell. Im now 58 and ride a Yamaha TW200 on the trails and roads. Also have 3 Harleys. 67 70 and 07 Big Twin. But I LOVE my little TW !
I customize bike for 13 years! Always let the seat for the end! Live and learn the Laura way 👏👏👏👏! Fan since begins and 83 too!
What 2 stroke 400cc, you can fly with that 😱🕊️
Amazing
You have a long way ahead, but I have no doubt you will do it in the best way.
Always wear a helmet!
Regards from Argentina
Laur, I love the fact you aren't afraid to try anything new, and if you are you still go for it.
Beautiful job.
Love your videos. You are an inspiration.
Amaizing, every video is better, I love your channel, thanks Laura !!!
whooooah I love your style.. that is already looking seriously cool.
I Love It... Wow! Congratulations...
Super awesome, I'm so jealous
Hammerprojekt. Der Tank und der Sitz sind so cool geworden. Bin riesig gespannt wie der Gepäckträger wird.
That was cool. Bring in the bike vids
Yay! More motorbikes! 😎👍🏻
Good work congratulations !
It's funny, if one of my friends came to me and said, 'I'm going to customize my motorcycle with no experience,' I would have several concerns and would make sure that the fire department and local hospitals were notified in advance. However, when Laura Kampf says she wants to customize a motorcycle with no experience, my first thought is, 'This is going to be amazing and I'm going to learn so much watching her work!'
Fantastic build , great choice if bike to customise great video Laura 🤗😊👍
You're from a different planet. Very nice work.
You are genuine Wunderfrau! Greetings from Serbia.
What I love about videos like this from Laura, is that she'll start a video by saying "I've never done this/I don't know how to do this" and then spends the rest of the video making me wonder how good she'd be if she DID know how to do these things. Amazing leather work. That seat looks sick!
Aah! Sweet memories of riding my ‘78 DT 250 as a teenager. What I wouldn’t give to lovingly restore her as I retire😍
Great Job Laura 👍🏾👏🏾💙
AMAZING WORK!!
Very cool.
As Sam (Look, Mum, No Computer) always says...don't be scared to try it.
Can you expand on the finishing process for the tank some? It looks like you blued the metal, but there was still red paint around it the edges, but in the next shot it looked to all be blued? I'm also curious about the oil treatment before applying a two part clear, what was done to let the clear stick to oiled metal? The end result is awesome looking though!
I’m interested in this as well!
Me too please
Exactly my thoughts. I would love to use the same technique for other project as it has a great industrial vibe yet it still looks well finished at the same time.
hell yeah! made me want a DT 400
Loved the fuel tank 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The tank and seat looks awesome 😎
Nice project!
LOOKs AMAZING
Nice and unique! Good luck leaving the motorcycle customizing now😂
Wonderful, keep up the good work!
Das sieht ganz geil aus! Supertoll!
Depending on how far down this rabbit hole you choose to play, there's a Women's Motorcycle Show (@WomensMotoShow) that seems right up your alley. Great little mods and I look forward to seeing the next set.
The stitching on the saddle is fantastic. Great work Laura!
ayyyy i just bought a non-op motorcycle to convert to electric! perfect timing to give me some inspiration :D
Joli travail de sellerie,bravo à bientôt salut Jeannot 🛠😉
cool motorbike with a little things you did it
That was so cool!
Looks great!
That’s a fast bike! At 9:26 she drives out of frame, at 9:27 she has circled the globe and comes back into frame from the other side! Just fascinating 🧐
😂😂
Looks great.
Nice work as always!
Is there anything you can't do?!! Beautiful work!!
You could have waterproofed your seat if you put plastic film between the foam and seat cover. Most aftermarket seat cover kits have this.
This is correct I remember when I did first seat, the foam holds tons of water. And when the cover feels dry and you sit on it you end feeling water coming up to the surface not pleasant. Still keep the good work going love your channel
