- In this video I show how I completed the engine build of my RC374, the first bench test, then how I made the wheel hubs, brakes, forks and swinging arm and build up the front and rear sub assemblies. I didn't take many pics during the engine assembly in 2017 because I was absorbed in the process and simply forgot!

If someone was to tell me that Allen was making a replica space shuttle out of four Honda C90's I would not be surprised :-)
I think that is his next project!
A working replica !
Given the price of C90s now it would be cheaper to just buy a space shuttle
@@hazzalandy ha , good point.
Don't forget the cupcakes
When watching Allen's videos, anyone else find themselves periodically shaking their head in awe at his effortless ability and ingenuity?
Totally. I am an engineer, restore historic racecars, and like to think I am pretty good engineering things, but this man's ability, knowledge, and vision just blow me away. He looks at a picture in a book, and says, "ok, I will just make one!" Also his knowledge of motorcycles in general, and what will be a donor for his vision, is just remarkable.
ha ha I was doing exactly that
Yes
Yep! 😅
Yeah got a sore neck now
Allen’s engineering genius is only surpassed by is skill in stealing cup cakes from the kitchen👍
Only a matter of time until his wife knocks up a batch with nuts,bolts and ball bearings inside. That'll make the cake thief think twice.😁
@@howardosborne8647 i am sure Allen in cake theft is trying to raise the bar the same as he does in engineering👍
even my siamese cat looks like a saint when it comes to theft of food from the kitchen...
his finest skill by far is his unrivalled ability to breathe after every 5 spoken syllables
"Pinching"
Epic - if Oscars could be given for engineering brilliance Allen would have a cabinet full of those little golden chaps :)))
Allen could make his own Oscar - it would be better than the Hollywood ones!
Knighthood😉
No, he'd have one statue, but he'd graft about 6 heads on to it and it would look like it had been cast like that originally.
The Oscar for best soundtrack would be the startup test of this engine, at 5.35.
Watching Allens videos has refired my interest in bikes. I have a project in the garage that has stood untouched for 2 years, ill health with mild depression and cancer had taken away my zest for life but these vids have lifted me. I've started spannering again and its all thanks to Mr Millyard. Thank you sir.
Masterful. In 15 minutes you'll learn more about engineering and a "can do" attitude than 99.9% of all "self-help/motivational" videos. 1 man, 1 hacksaw & a universe of ideas.
Don't forget the shed with a mill, lathe and welder.... I'm over 50% of that by now 😊
I learn that I am am a half wit by comparison.
very well said! I'm in awe and calmed every vid
'We are absolutely blessed that Allen is sharing these videos with us'..... somebody else said it and I totally agree. A genius. Those bath plugs and chain are fabulous🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🇬🇧
My dad had a bath plug for the belmouth of his old Goldstar.
My friends racing yamaha tz750 sidecar outfit had fine mesh on the carbs, a lad asked where he could get them. My friend replied, any fire guard
The technical minds focus solely on the myriad of mechanical challenges facing a project like this while the creative mind sees only the endless possibilities. Allen Millyard is that rare bird who processes a wonderful balance of both worlds👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Spot on , he can vision the finished product before it's built, a engineering visionary
I swear I can feel my brain spinning in my skull when I watch your videos Allen.
Allen is a true engineering genius. If I only had a fraction of his talent I would be a happy man.
The 3 “dislikes” must be Allen’s immediate neighbours who occasionally have to listen to that wonderful 6 cylinder engine noise. I think it’s quite musical.
Or it's that they can smell those cupcakes but never get to sample one🤣
2 Neighbours and Greta.
@@petewood2350 Not all neighbours are anti........ :)
The dislikes are probably from those who post Video's telling everyone to disable their pair valve
We Brits are amazed at Allen’s creations (bloke in shed) with soft spoken voice, hacksaw, barbecue, lathe etc. I can’t imagine how impressed our American cousins are, if this was in America it would be at least four engineers in a massive workshop with every conceivable power tool known to mankind. Thanks Allen
I discovered Allen's videos a couple years ago, haven't missed one since and have watched all the ones I missed. He is my favorite human being and a treasure.
Honestly, I had a huge smile on my face when that beautiful engine started up, priceless and all sustained by Tracy's cup cakes.
There are not enough superlatives for this genius engineer. Fantastic video explaining the complete process and thinking . Wonderful
Arise Sir Allen. Brilliant.
@Steven Shipley, Allen should be awarded a Knighthood! (and Tracy should be made Lady Millyard for her cupcakes!) he's certainly the people's choice! He's an amazing engineer and genius problem solver but he's more than just that... he's a genuine Gentleman just a really nice guy that most of us would like to buy a pint and listen to his stories!
Yes a very unassuming gentleman. Softly spoken and genuine. No need to boast when you’re
that talented.
You don't get too many naturally gifted engineers like this dude,
Apart from his sheer brilliance, I most enjoy Allen's childlike enthusiasm that never seems to diminish.
WONDERFUL!
Got to be honest Allen. Words fail me. I cant adequately say what I want. The front hub is a work of art. The engine sounds amazing.
What gets me is that very few of Mr. Millyard's bike projects fought him hard. That is a true testament of his skills. When you have a gift, you can make the ultracomplex simple and make masterpieces out of junk.
because Allen thinks the process through and can see the problems, long before he has to find a solution
Every single part is a work of art. The attention to detail is amazing - even simulating a casting finish on an otherwise smooth machined brake plate.
Because of his matter of fact delivery it's so easy to forget that what Allan does isn't normal for one man in a garage. Individual projects of his would make teams of engineers proud. His life's work, after work, would be enough to make a legendary marque.
We're absolutely blessed that Allen is sharing these videos with us ! Keep em coming 👍👌
Clicking the thumbs up just once does not do this video justice , truly amazing.
"Six cylinder Honda 500cc, sir? Let me have two cupcakes and I'll get right back to you."
The secret to building the world's greatest motorcycles....Cupcakes! After a frustrating evening in the workshop I came inside for a beer, to warm up and to watch this video. I will find a solution to complelte my project, just like you always do. Might take a bit of thinking, and a lot of work, but I will get the job done. Thanks for making my bad day into a better tomorrow.
Allen will be one of those great names that go down in history the skill and humbleness is inspiring
The phrase “engineering god” springs to mind, also wonder why some manufacturers haven’t snapped him up but I doubt they could afford him, 👍👍👍👍👍
The price in cup cakes would be ruinous :-)
If I won the lottery and Alan did commission builds I would be straight on the phone, as long as Greta was not hogging the line.
I doubt he'd be willing to give up the time he uses to build what he wants, to them to build (or design) what they want. Brings up a point that I've been wondering about since I discovered him which is: is he retired and from what?
@@erikbrown207 He worked as a nuclear engineer.
this guy is a legend, i have learnt so much from his videos.
It Allways gets a better day, when there comes new videos from the magician Allen Millyard. 👍👍👍
Sunday arvo! Pint and millyard on the TV. What lockdown 😂
This Guy is Proper Engineering at its Best. Old School Skills you Can't Beat!!
When Allen started it up my little Westie, who's blind and virtually deaf, and who was sitting in the room, barked back. Had to grin.
His ingenuity never ceases to amaze me.....
That hub is a work of art in its own right. Wonderful engineering.
Allen, I introduced my 86 year old dad to your videos as I knew he would love them. He was an aircraft mechanic in the 1950's and trained on Merlins etc. and has always been pretty handy on the tools so I knew what you do would be up his street. It is fair to say you are now his hero. The quality of your work, the ambition and the skills you bring to the most amazing projects is just breathtaking. We are both eagerly awaiting the next instalment on your RC374!
This made my Sunday seeing those hubs being machined and assembled. Top job 🙂
When you can say 'I made my own Bike' Even down to the rivets in the front mudguard! The bath plugs and chain for the carbs made me chuckle! Pure genius!
The attention to details is amazing.
Those air scoops on the front break are flawless. Can’t wait for next episode.
The cupcakes are great looking too.
“I needed some cast iron liners for the brakes, so I went and bought some car ones!” Utter genius! That front hub is a thing of beauty. Looking forward to seeing the next episode!
Every time I watch one of your videos I am blown away by your knowledge, skills and abilities. I would never believe anyone could scratch build a motorcycle and engine in their "shed with a hack saw, welder, lath and milling machine" but there you are doing it and more than once. You Sir are a Genius
This was a fantastic video! What a terrific job you’ve done. The attention to detail....to make that hub from a piece of billet on a wee bantam. I’m shocked! I wouldn’t believe it could be done without a cnc.
Brilliant engineer, the Leonardo Da Vinci of our times.
That first start was awesome. I then put a whole cupcake in my mouth and it fitted perfect.
Watching Allen's video is a bit like a double edge sword.
One side it's brilliant and mesmerising to watch, inspiring and uplifting.
The other side is when I try and cut a cylinder head and end up with a slopey side, bits missing and a jar full of extras I didn't fit and it doesn't even start. I quickly realise my inadequacies and my incompetence are greater than I imagined.
Please don't ever stop making videos Allen. We are all trying to be better with our own projects as a result of watching your amazing work.
👏👏👏👏👏
I thought seeing you build the engine was amazing then to watch how you build the rest of the bike (from magazine pics!!) including making the hub and brakes, I and I'm sure many others are in awe. Thanks for sharing Allen.
Stunning skill and attention to detail, right down to hand-made rivets for the mud guards. Allen's work as a guy in his shed is next-level, boggles-the-mind stuff. But it also makes me appreciate the work the engineers at Honda put in all those years ago to make the original.
Absolutely. The rivets, even!
@@danweyant707 I know it’s riveting isn’t it... 👍
In agreement with other posters, and guilty of repeating myself, but as ever totally gobsmacked by Alan's bike building genius.
Amazing as usual, Allen. Thank you!
Allen your technical knowledge and ingenuity never ceases to amaze me.
Every time I see your cup of tea in the background, I think of all the times I soured my cup of coffee with metal shavings or grinding sparks.
Well done Tracey for keeping Allen well stocked with cup cakes, I did expect too see six nestled in the carbs instead of bath plugs! Love the hub machining they’re beautiful.😁
I feel privileged to be able to watch Allen Millyard performing his magic.
What a great way to start my day. A cup of tea , two slices of toast, and a video of Allen showing us his genius.
Now I’m set , and ready to face the mother-in-law later on.🙂
More Millyard Magic. Thanks Al!
All made in a single garage. I have learnt so much from Alan
Allen's motorcycle world is full of creativity, genius, skill, and great homemade cupcakes.
That front brake design is so cool, I was the only one of my friends that could get my double leading shoes brake adjusted right and to make it work properly. Kind of makes me wish I had a bike with one now.
I can imagine how exciting it was for you when you first started that magnificent engine.
Wow. The sound.
Even seasoned engineers must take their hat off to your incredible skills and creativity, amazing work Allen!
First class , very well shot video and nicely explained too.
Back to assembling my Ikea table wondering why I am wasting my life. God. What a craftsmanship and craftswomanship ( cupcakes).
One tremendous machine
Awesome. Usually, models are made from pics of the full sized bike. You made a full sized bike with pics of a model. Beyond words!
Allen, your work (wonders) will never cease to amaze.
I could watch Allen all day every day, my mrs wants Tracey’s cup cake recipe 😊
How come it takes many years and much money for Honda to produce a new engine, You take 3 months to produce a master peace and be well pleased with that.
Unbelievable work Allan. Best video to date.
Soon as I see a new vid of yours I link it to everybody I know who likes this sort of engineering stuff.
Thanks again so much. I love learning from the master.
It’s my first time to see how a race motorcycle front hub is made from scratch, I’m amazed by Allen’s talent.
Epic as always, what a fantastic bike.
OFF! THE! HOOK! Allen makes building his own engine seem as easy as me cleaning my weed eater's carburetor. Sooooo nice!
Always a pleasure to watch another Millyard clip.
This must be my 5th or 6
th time watching this and it’s still as captivating as the first time. The man is a true genius.
Millyard is a true motorcycle treasure. The Michelangelo of hand built engines. Amazing to watch. First start and it runs better than mine after years of fiddling LOL!
I am in absolute amazement of his ability to design and build anything he pleases. If he wasn't a motorcycle engineer he should have been. And he's an expert at pinching cupcakes.
Since 1997 your creations were small stories in the major bike magazines which popped up maybe once a year.
Now on youtube we have the motherload, all documented.
Thanks Al.
Whenever I watch your videos come away amazed at your workmanship, thoughtful detail/design and patience. Thank you so much for sharing.
I am well pleased to see you were able to nick two cupcakes, three would have been excessive. Rock On Mr. Millyard! The bike looks and sounds amazing!
You're an absolute genius! I've never heard an engine that sounded as crisp. I applaud you sir👏. The left and right side shift is the first time I've ever seen it done through the engine case. Wow!!! I must confess that I skipped ahead and saw the first public reveal. Wonderful. Can't wait for your next video. Thanks again for your time and videos. Have yourself a great day!
You sir have a special talent. I’ve done a lot of fabrication, built many telescopes, built a Locost 7. But you make me look like a hack.
Absolutely brilliant. The Man uses a bbq to heat things up and makes bespoke tools from bits and bobs - none of this 'disposable society' and expensive equipment you use once or twice. I salute you sir.
There is a positive Covid19 fact: Allen got some time to do some video and he shares them with us.
Thank you, buddy! 👌👍
Allen, you should have your own series on TV - I wouldn't really care what you chose to do / talk about, because I know it would be absolutely brilliant. Thank you for these phenomenal videos.
Maybe one day, I really enjoy making videos, its helped me a lot during lockdown
You are a true genius.
So many great things done, so precisely, with so little tools!
I'm speechless! This is unbelievable!
Watching these videos with a perma grin😁 A national treasure
To make my day even better, my Millyard T shirt arrived a bit ago, And it fits perfect!
That’s just perfect to here 🙂
& you were " so pleased " 🙂
Wow Lathing down that big ol’ Aluminum cylinder was epic!!! That’s some work right there!!
Magnificent! I have just enough knowledge of fabrication to have an idea of the 75 ways I could have cocked up each operation you've pictured. My toes are curled, nails bitten & chair is fully puckered.
Well done, Allen!
When that engine started, it was * JUST PURRFECT! *
I spend most of these videos sat with my mouth open in awe.
Highlight of the week seeing a masterclass in bike building 🏍️👍
What genius can effortlessly build a hand maid masterpiece and include baked goods at the same time nobody but Allen Millyard the man never disappoints 👍
the cup cakes go down well :)
What sorcery is this? Allen you've done it again. Huzzaah!!! Soichiro Honda would be proud.
The thumbs looking better . Marvelous build . You are an inspiration to so many people . Once you start to see what is actually possible with some knowledge and perseverance it gives everyone a real boost .
That front brake setup is incredible.
I’m always late getting a notification of when Allen posts a video. Best shop class you could buy.
Truly amazing work
that engine sounds awesome. like an angry caged beast.
As brilliant as all the engineering and fabrication are that go into the chassis and engine, I'm blown away by the home-built wheel hub and brake covers. Amazing!
Sounds and looks brilliant Allen.👍👍👍
