Krank Engineering is where DIY custom bike builders turn to learn new skills.
My channel teaches metalworking, fabrication, welding, mechanical and electrical systems, painting and polishing plus a whole lot more!
Need any of this for your custom cafe racer, chopper, scrambler? Don't trust anyone else to do it, and have to do-it-yourself?
I believe anyone can build their own custom motorcycle. I believe you should enjoy that sense of satisfaction that comes from creating something with your own hands. I believe you don’t have to pay someone else to do it.
I build skills and confidence with my articles and training videos.
Rather than having to spend thousands of dollars at a commercial shop, I can teach you to do as much or as little as you want. Hit "Subscribe" now!
Dude, love your OCD, you are a minor genius with metal!! Thanks for the design ideas, have been in just this same quandary for a South Bend lathe in the States
Ok... so dumb question? On the vertical tower for the neck and the axle plates... how do the bolts lock into the slotted section? Do you have a free floating nut with a groove cut into it? It doesn't seem to go all the way through to the other side???
The ad in front of this was actually worth watching... Customoffsets? Haha Could also use brass or bronze for those neck cones. They will handle heat well by conducting it, will be softer than the steel but live much longer than aluminum due to work hardening. Solid bearings were made with them for good reason.
Why did you speed everything up? It’s very hard to tell what you did. I’m sure it seems fine to you because it’s already your head but to the uninitiated we’re kind of lost. How much did you remove? Were there grooves on both sides?
Thanks for the video, unfortunately mine is the opposite, i pull the break lever and the (single) tail/brake light goes out. I'm just guessing its a bad ground but not really sure :/
Thanks for making a short video for the simple job. Too many tubers (toobers?) would have drug the video out for 15 minutes with inane talking. Great job! Now I will subscribe.... Done
This is a really decent vacuum. The best feature is that, unlike most other vacuums, ru-vid.comUgkx8ISPQRRAfpAaX4msGjyodObTBnlj4T5g this model does not throw debris backward when the brush is activated. Suction is decent and height levels can be adjusted. It does a great job of picking up pet hair and doesn't leave a perimeter of hair/fur where a rug meets a hardwood floor....if you know, you know.
This is crazy, I didn't see any preheat, no peening, and the welds are beautiful. Why on EARTH is this not common for cast repair?? I've never even heard of cast filler rod. This makes nickel rod just look stupid.
Bloody ripper of a tutorial mate. Helped me to diagnose the same problem on my KTM 500. You should teach at TAFE my friend. You have earned my subscription. Cheers
Hey Matt, I'm blowen away. I've been repairing antique farm engines for a long time, very long time. Always used brass rod, flux, patience and experience. I've never known you could do something like you did. Very nice work, thanks a lot. Hal
my brake lights won’t turn on at all, i put a fender eliminator on and now it won’t turn on, i didn’t even touch any wires to the tail light or brakes so idk why it’s not turning on now
Perfect video. Quick question: To maximize shine, would I want to alternate the direction of the sanding/polishing or sand/polish in same direction? Thank you!
Shouldn't matter, as you get into the finer grits (say 1000 and above) you can't see sanding marks (unless you've failed to sand out previous grits. Once you get to 2000 then into the polishing soaps it should just come up like a mirror finish with no visible sanding marks anywhere.
All in all a very good video! You didn’t mention the required cure/fully set time… It would have been nice to hear that… Other than that small detail you did a very good job!! Thank you!!!
For not knowing how to sew this is really really done well! If you wouldn’t have said you weren’t familiar with sewing i don’t think anyone would have known. Well done sir!
Very instructive video! I did not know you could add a sanding belt to a grinding wheel, genius! Also love that splash guard for the polishing pad. You may want to use nitrile gloves and spare your hands. The most expensive tools in your garage are your hands.
