@@laurakampf 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. 👍🤘
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!!
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 .
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.
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.
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!
Awesome!!!! The smile on your face when unfolded the leather seat cover was so beautiful.. But, when you put the seat on the bike and slaped it, THERE! There i knew you were hooked. Theres no going back now. So happy for you, you decided to give working on motorcyles a try. And it is such a pleasure to work with quality laether as well. Weaver sure has them!!!! Amazing work and amazing video as always!!! Big hug from Brazil!!!!
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!!! 😍🙏
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 !!!
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.
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! 😍
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.
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!'
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.
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 !
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!
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.
Hi Laura! Thanks for the video, love the work with the gas tank!! Some years ago I customized a Suzuki TU250 and painted it with metallized blue, but never liked it really. Seeing tour work, I have rescued the idea of a blue metal patina 😍 Thanks you for show the process and inspire me!! I'll surely get on with it.
Genau Laura, der Weg ist das Ziel. Oder anders herum wie mann lernt dahin zu kommen wo man hin möchte. Das sieht toll aus was Du da gezaubert hast. Weiter so 👍👍👍🤗
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
7:08 That is precisely the look I have on my face when I turn something right-side-out and I find out it worked! Thanks for making such a great video! I seriously consider this world class entertainment. Nothing else like it!
This is great! I have a buddy who does motorcycle seats professionally and one thing he does is apply PVA glue to the underside of all the stitching so that the friction between the cover and the foam doesn’t fray and eventually break the stitches from underneath. Also, if you’ve got a pneumatic staple gun, that’s more than enough to adhere a cover to a seat pan. Can’t wait to see the rest of what you do to this bike.
Awesome video! Perfect tune for the adventurous nature of this video! I have a real good feeling about this series. Hoping to learn more from this series and hope you have an amazing time Laura!
Laura, you are a boss!!! Thank you for sharing your undertakings. This one, in particular, has got me super excited and I can't wait to see the progress you make. Cheers.
Oh man, that raspy 2 stroke engine. I'm getting flashbacks to my childhood in rural Florida.
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 :)

welcome to the rabbit hole of customizing. enjoy. good job
Ayy my goodness this lady is badass! The genuine leather gave me in
That seat came out awesome!! Makes me want to try leather working!
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.
Laur, I love the fact you aren't afraid to try anything new, and if you are you still go for it.
That sewingmachine looks awesome.
Boah Laura, die Sitzbank ist so schoen!

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.

Knipex, festool, this channel does not do cheap tools, very nice.
Custom things are the best because you get a professionally made thing with just the right amount of you :)
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!

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.
Dang! Now I want a bike again. Nice work Laura
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 !!!
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.
It's pretty interesting how the new bike will look like. Thanks for the video!
Hammerprojekt. Der Tank und der Sitz sind so cool geworden. Bin riesig gespannt wie der Gepäckträger wird.
Awesome! Welcome to the world of motorcycling and modding your bike! Can't wait to see more.

I hope to see at least 342 motorbike customizations on this channel in the future! Awesome work on the tank and saddle Laura!!
Stunning seat and gas tank. Laura, you rocked it!
I like it. The improvements can only get better as you learn
You're from a different planet. Very nice work.
Tank looks awesome. Leather looks great!
You are a great role model! Keep up the good work!.
NICE WORK! keep enjoying the journey of learning and growing.
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.

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.
My dear Laura, you're amazing!

Beautiful how happy you are once the seat is on the bike ;)
Look awsome the seat came out great and the tank thats a neat look.

I love it..can’t wait until you paint it all up the way you want it!
Aah! Sweet memories of riding my ‘78 DT 250 as a teenager. What I wouldn’t give to lovingly restore her as I retire😍
I can almost smell that big roll of leather. The bike looks great!
yes it is a loop with bikes! you just want to clean oil and replace / work on everything. really inspiring!
Nailed it, well sewed it but you know. Great approachable way to do custom bikes stuff.
Now i have some inspiration for my 1974 honda xl 125! Thanks for the video
yep! looks awesome. very well done, those older bikes have a really nice look
you brought so much class to this bike
Amaizing, every video is better, I love your channel, thanks Laura !!!

Really cool video. I’m not a cycle person and yet still really enjoyed watching. Well done !
The stitching on the saddle is fantastic. Great work Laura!
Your excitement is contagious!
You are so brave - this is a great project can't wait for the next one
whooooah I love your style.. that is already looking seriously cool.

Absolutely awesome. Can't wait to see more videos on this awesome project. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work. Keep Making. God Bless.
It looks so good. I’m excited to see what else you do with the bike.
Awesome video, I have to say that that new metal finish is badass. It looks so much better than just painted ;)
Thanks for suggesting the sailrite sewingmachine. It’s a great tool!!
@@laurakampf Glad you were able to pick one up, it's a beautiful machine!
looks amazing!!! love leather and bare steel together!!!
Awesome video! Perfect tune for the adventurous nature of this video! I have a real good feeling about this series. Hoping to learn more from this series and hope you have an amazing time Laura!
You are so amazing!! You Ispiring me in every video! ThankS!!!
INCREDIBLE LAURA! Excited to see the rest!
Thanks very much for the solution to plating large parts
I feel like this is the perfect series for you, I'll be looking forward to each new episode!
Thank you for sharing the joy!
Blueing the tank is a pretty damn cool idea! Love it!
yes, though I am not sure I got all steps correctly. First some chemical blueing, then soaking in oil, and how did 2 part clear adhere to all that?
Great challenge! You made this vintage motorcycle into a piece of art!
ayyyy i just bought a non-op motorcycle to convert to electric! perfect timing to give me some inspiration :D
You are doing very great work 😄😄
You may be new to bike customizing, but your years as a maker gives you an advantage. Your bike looks awesome!
Awesome work! I wasn't sure about the tank but it looked like it should have always been that way. Just perfect!
Laura, you are a boss!!!
Thank you for sharing your undertakings.
This one, in particular, has got me super excited and I can't wait to see the progress you make.
Cheers.
Wow! Looks great. Nice aesthetic.
Fantastic build , great choice if bike to customise great video Laura 🤗😊👍
Very cool.
As Sam (Look, Mum, No Computer) always says...don't be scared to try it.
Laura, the seat and tank are absolutely amazing! Great choice in finishes!
This bike is amazing ! The New seat is incredible! GOOD JOB 👌
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.
Before customizing I personly would fix the leak in the cylinder- or exhaustgasket.... that was quite some blowby...
Came here to say this - sort the mechanicals before getting into major customisation!!
Love your videos. You are an inspiration.
Two very cool upgrades. Can't wait to see what's next in the motorcycle adventure! Thanks for sharing!
I am so excited about this series !!!! I'm building a custom bike as well at the moment
You have the coolest tools and machines. 😍 that sewing machine tho' 🤤🤩
Really cool, even though I’m more of a bicycle guy than Motorradfahrer! All conversions are of interest: bikes, cars, motorbikes, campers etc!
Beautiful color of the tank 😍
Excellent start! Can't wait to see what you do to it next!
