CBR 1000rr Off Road Buggy Part 5 

If you aren't drawing these designs out ahead of time and just fabricating as you go, you are not only a fabricator, you are also an artist!!!

Rather B does all of this by himself. Name another channel that does the quality of work he does and gets videos out every Sunday.

Awesome work...I am loving this build thoroughly. Still would love to see a 4x4 build!! Every time I watch your channel I feel like building something!!

I’m looking at a full top end rebuild on my CBR 919 engine. Had water in it as well. Was able to get it pretty cheap it’s just repairing what damage has been done. Needs all new clutch plates, the clutch basket, cylinders need honing, new piston rings, wiring harness needs to be made from scratch or just use the old one, etc. once I get that right I’ll start modifying the existing buggy frame I have for the motor. Love your channel. Get a lot of inspiration from you 👍

Yes! Reverse trike! I want to see that thing articulate around s-curves. Go-Pro each suspension side and center in a slow motion montage! That would just set the bar so high!

Lol I love your humility! Gloves are our friends!🤣🤣

Not a big fan of that rear suspension but the front suspension looks really good. Also the buggy looks way better than the previous ones because it's more compact.

When that front shock first came into frame! 👀👀👀👀!!!!

The reverse trike is what got me to subscribe. Please continue it

Love it. Don't forget you have to be able to get it out of the garage. Looks super wide. Awesome Build. 8)

About time you try to keep it small, now just need to shorten the cage for the engine, move the engine forward away from the rear...

"I'll figure it out." Who needs a plan when you have a cut-off wheel and a welder? Hopefully, the rings aren't rusted in the bottom end you're using.

Love the builds man keep em up!!!!! Maybe down the road build a "mini" rock bouncer 4x4 would love to see how you work that out =D

It’s nice to see you keeping this build a more reasonable compact size so you can actually fit it on your trailer unlike the VFR1000 that sticks out the back and barely fits between the side rails.

Cars and Cameras are building a bathtub, you're creating art! I like it with that huge air box on top. Makes it look like its got a huge engine!

I'm liking the look of the swept forward top wishbones. Don't think I've ever seen that before. There's something quite purposeful about that style. I still think you should one day build a rear engine buggy using the power train from a small front wheel drive car though. If you found an older car with points ignition and a carburettor it would be pretty much a self contained unit that you just needed to pipe fuel and power into, then 4 or 5 wires to make it start and stop. You'd have a reverse gear as standard too. If you made it with 2 seats, enough room for various engine options, and brakes all round so it can be made road legal, you might even be able to sell the plans and the rights to build them to a kit car company.

Love your work man. Craftmanship is on another level. The only thing i would say is to get away from that early 90 frame look. Make them look more modern like today's utvs. Other that top notch man.

That front end looks awesome! I'd mount the radiator up there and possibly fuel tank if there's space to give weight distribution. Plus it will look kinda like a vintage sand rail.

Brother I have to say you’re one of the most talented machinist and fabricators I’ve ever seen the quality and craftsmanship of your work bar none incredible love the videos keep up the great work!!!!

You should do a tracked vehicle build. Your Machines are always awesome!!!

Keep up the good work friend! I support you 100procent. I know what its like to maintain a channel. Its fun! But its also hard work you have to put in😃👍

Keep up the good work

I like the A arm design! Looks like it will work great!

Love the build, and I by no means mean this as an insult. After seeing the front end and cage, I have thought of a name for the project. Pug buggy.

You should give the "C &C" fellers a few pointers on front suspension building.(I think they could use the help about now). lol. :)

You taught me a new technique Chris!!! I absolutely dig the shit out of using the piece of sheet to keep everything flat while you tack it. Funny how long I've been a mechanic/fabricator and NEVER thought of that. This is my favorite project of yours by far. Love the dimensions and design its gonna be badass. By the way, you can look up ways to simplify all the vacuum lines. Plug unnecessary openings and put breathers on openings that vent the crank case. I recommend doing a catch can instead of the PCV, you're gonna need it trust me. K&N makes an aftermarket air box for all superbikes, maybe look into that as far as the garbage you probably dont need on the OEM box. It's all emission bullshit anyway. It's easy, you're an extremely intelligent dude you can figure that shit out I have faith. If you would have bought an R1 engine I could tell you absolutely everything you would ever need to know. I've owned 7 R1s. I have a 2018 R1m right now and it's by far the most incredible motorcycle in the world. I smoke every other liter bike and all I have is full graves race exhaust, intake, and a chip. It makes 219 whp at 4370 feet above sea level. Plus it sounds like a really high revving V8. Spits flames between shifts and everything it's so badass.

man this cart is taking shape really quickly! got a bunch of progress in this vijeao

Hey hey Vic here, not Penny. 2:30 Nice test procedure 10:30 Me: Hey dude, don't you need to leave a little space somewhere so you can see where you're going ? Rather B: Nah, I'll figure it out later, after I get this suspension done. Love your builds dude. Oh by the way, besides the fact that you really should brush up on shop safey... you might try some corn starch (about a teaspoon) and a couple drops of water, make a paste and put it on that burn. It's a little something I learned in the kitchen. Works great on the wife's leg after she lets her leg touch the pipes on the Honda Shadow ACE I used to have. It's good stuff to keep around the shop. Cheers

Damn those front spindles are beefy! Nice work man

You need to build a two seater or better yet a 4x4x4 or a 4 seat 4x4. That’s some pretty sweet engineering you did on that front suspension well so far the whole thing is sweet.

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH THIS. It LOOKS SO BAD ASS. The J on RU-vid. 8)

Really liking the look!! Also like how your trying to save weight on this build

Nice work! I always learn new stuff through your videos that I can replicate on my projects. Keep it up!

you should build a cnc plasma table it’s totally within your capabilities

Damnit RU-vid... this series has slipped my notifications so far. But hey can binge watch now.

I wish i had the skill set to fab things from scratch lol... love the builds man keep dropping that 🔥 content my guy.

Been wanting to build a single seater buggy myself. Really digging the front suspension set-up. Would you mind if I stole your idea? Lol.

Another great video man 👌🏼 I think 90% of the joy and pleasure in building our “projects” is in the journey not the final result. Sure it’s nice to sit back and look at it all done and everything but.......🤷🏻‍♂️ So to not have a full blown plan going into things is part of the plan ; if that makes sense. 😂

Your skills are insane, you could easily be doing bigger projects like cars an trucks as well.

Safety brother. I've done the spinning metal of death in the drill press and the weld burn and they're never fun. I would recommend a drill press vice, and if I lived closer, I'd definitely come give you a hand with wiring. Love doing that stuff.

I'm loving the progress on the build! That suspension design looks really promising!

For your next shop upgrade I'd recommend that you build a 2x72 belt grinder dude. Great content as always

I wish more people took s much care to make good quality spindles as you make!

Love the music during the fast forwarded build part of the video. RBW videos always make my day better man. Thank you!

Your home made lathe keeps kicking ass ! I love it !

You have come a long way Baby. Keep it up.

Dang that thing really looks different, but I like it.

The top a arm pivot needs to be lower on the buggy side so you gain negative chamber as it compresses making it corner much better. I just made my a arms check my video if you want . The offset a arm is great though that’s what trophy trucks do!

Man if you could see my arms !! Burned to shit!! I build aluminum boats from scratch. So I get burned all the time. Even with the correct ppe. Lol. It def sucks. Keep up the awesome work man. Your doin great !!!!

I've had a few welding burns. A while back I ended up with a sot of rash on my forearms from MIG splatter. I knew it was burning me, but it was not bad enough to stop... Or so I thought. Of course it got worse with time, but did not actually get infected which is what I thought was going to happen. Anyway, I got some of those leather sleeves from Bangood for about $20, and together with gloves and the apron I wear as a matter of course, I have not been burnt since. (Touch wood) I loved the wooden template/jig btw.

Four-wheel drive ... Four-wheel drive ... Four-wheel drive. For the next prjekt ... Four-wheel drive. thank you for your work ! But Four-wheel drive ;-)

Excellent work, man! I like the front end design. I've never liked that shape for the cage overall but, that's just me. (It'll work just fine) Oh yeah.. Using the stock airbox is always going to be better if you can. They make better torque than pod filters. And, make a set of low profile side tanks for either side of the seat. It'll look cool and hold a substantial amount of fuel. (Gotta run a fuel pump anyway, so....) Just my 2 cents...

You need to build a full-on car, you are practically there already. Runge Cars youtube channel is awesome, I think you could pull it off. Just one scratch-built car would be fantastic, it would make a great video series and a whole new level of challenges

definitely ready to see more progress on the reverse trike! that thing is going to be sick!!!

Dude your fab skills are epic. I’m in awe of your work.

Just a thought...if you're going for compact, you could do away with the upper a-arm and attach the shock mount directly to the top of the spindle, add some rigidity to the assembly and you'd have a macpherson strut.

I'm loving how this is looking

god I can't escape the song at 6:00. Grindhard overplays the heck out of it.

17:01 funniest part :)

Front end kind of looks like The Edge Products Barracuda. 8" up 8" down for a total of 16" of travel is going to be helpful. Hopefully it's a smooth ride, hard to tell I video.

Love those shocks

Best looking one yet. Keep it up

Nice vid man! Wow that was a big tub of joints.

Man that would cool adding a transfer case and other components to make it 4x4 that buggy would be sick man with all that travel ur a he'll of a Fab guy

16inch thats not bad, nice, and upward travel limit looks good, as well as downward, i have no idea how you alwasy end up with proper fitment and movement of everything without designing or planning it at least on paper :D ;

this dude rocks! Welcomes from Brasil, gearbro

Love these builds. If you want something completely different, how about something like one of those Swincar E Spider things, they have the strangest suspension systems I've ever seen.

Nice job. An as soon as I seen you holding the cross bar an start welding I said in my head thats gonna hurt lol im surprised you where able to hold on as long as you did lol. I do shit like that all the time. Its make for good stories lol noce job on making progress on the build tho

I Ben watching a lot of your vids I really like this front end an how its coming out its looks bad ass keep doing good work man 👍

rads and that could be either side of you when sat in the seat this way they would get good airflow in thew side oute back and vented towards engine

Its gonna be epic

This thing looks sick!

Looks good, remember to leave space for that steery thing and its rack/linkage... :)

I hate when I burn myself welding lol, I feel your pain

Somebody needs to sponsor this guy!! And somebody to make the videos... then he has more time to build cool shit like this!!!

Not wearing gloves = instant gratification. I have a small divot in my thumb from where a biggun blob of molten stainless flew on it. :))

I would use the motorcycle gas tank, it will cover up the ugly air box, and it has the proper fuel pump in it.. it also keeps the fuel high and dry.. just my opinion

I've always wondered if you could make a side by side out of a four wheeler, I think youd have a good shot at making it successfully, and I'd enjoy the hell out of a series like that.

This dude is awesome.

Now this would be something to take to cars and cameras track to jump it

Excelente !!! Eres muy bueno. ¿Tienes información sobre los amortiguadores? En el video aparece una carrera libre de 60 cm creo, Pero, sabes por ejemplo, la rigidez de la bobina por milímetro, la longitud extendida de ojo a ojo, etc. Saludos

Nice work there

put mustard on those small burns......sounds stupid, but it works.....the vinegar does the pain relief/swelling/healing , the mustard dries slowly and holds it on

I have been waiting for you to build a buggy with a 4 cyl. Car engine and trans. Is better than motorcycle engines with no reverse.

Your the man bro...keep up the hard work

Like the front end

i love you videos amazing build keep it up

Your an amazing builder I love your videos and I’ve trying to learn how to do the stuff you do

1000 $ is kinda steep for a broken engine.... But good luck with it Chris!! 👍😁

This one looks like it might be tall enough to pass as street legal, if you received a title with either engine. Not sure of your local laws though. Excited to see more progress on the trike, keep it up!

You should feel some side fenders for the front tires so if it rains you won't get mud

This work is amazing!!!

Good job.

The vacuum pipes are for air ducts that open valves/solenoids and for map sensor. Use the original fuel tank and mount it as it would be on the bike, just behind the airbox, no need to worry about fuel pump/pipes then. Do you have original ignition/key/ecu, they are all coded (HISS). I have rebuilt these engines, the new engine did more than fall over the break like that, have repaired many crash damaged bikes but not seen damage on that part of the engine. Hopefully the top end is ok. Why do you not put a spacer between the bearings on the front hub so you can tighten the spindle fully like on a motorcycle wheel/hub?

Next project - Big Foot Quad bike !

You are going to have to go to a spec book for the engine. Good luck.

Maybe you could get some labels for the wiring and hoses. You don't have to know the names. Put a tag on wire A and an A where it came from. When you get to Z, then do AA. It's better than a guessing game. The wire harness isn't that bad, the hoses suck.

Absolute sorcery right there...

Love what you do mate

A. I think this project looks fantastic! B. 18:37 I once had a glob of steel go through a hole in my welding glove and cook it's way through my finger nail. That hurt for a while. C. ever thought about making something like a BW350?
