Honda CBR 600 buggy build part 5 

You were worried about it being too heavy for that 600. I think since you have that 600 transmission you’ll be golden. Can always change sprockets too. Wish I had the time and access to the shop you got there. I’m living vicariously through you and a few other similar channels. Truck driver job can stink for having your own time home.

Nice project 👍, you have a small fortune in HEIM JOINTS alone.

you can build a tank with this heavy duty suspension :) great Work

I think that the front lower rear swingarm tubes should be straight. I thilnk that the curves you put in them will cause them to rotate and will increase/decrease their effective length. Angle the heim joint brackets so they point towards one another. Great build.

REVERSE TRIKE!!! .....that is in caps because of how excited I am about this build. This thing is so sweet!

In not an engineer but I'm pretty sure rule number 1 is to avoid squares and make triangles 😂. Weld it good and you should be fine

I'm so excited to see it done but I really enjoy watching his builds.

Chris. You are one of the Talented Fab man I have ever seen. Outstanding job !

man you are the mad scientist when it comes to building these buggies. your work is great and every time I see you use that lathe you build I am jealous to the bone..lol keep up the excellent work your setting great examples for young people to see and hopefully want to get out off the couch and do things, you've worked hard and put a lot of effort into getting where you are. koodo's to you.keep it up you never fail to entertain this 60 yr old man..lol

Mate what an inspiration you are! thank you for effort you put in to document these projects.

Awesome job! Keep it up. I like watching you do your welding and machine work.

The three bolts you put on the hubs are the bolts that holds the hubs on, the cvx axle nut is to hold the axle in place so it don't back out of the center of the hub if. Long as you have the 3 screw threaded thru an tighten down the hub is totally fine. I'm SAE certified mechanic

I love this build, I'm excited to see the finished product. :)

anotha' informational video presented in typical humble-genius fashion.....fabrication is obviously your calling, my friend...keep up the awesomeness, many love, much props

Interesting trick I learned when welding a bracket that holds something between snugly between them, is to install 1 or 2 pieces of light card stock in the assembly; when it cools down, you can slide the parts out and put them back in without it binding up, but still be snug.

Those 5point hub carrier's are sick ,

Whew, that's a lot of unsprung weight. Lots of wear and tear on hubs. You'll find the weak links, and they'll be easy, and great content. I love it so far, great build.

looking good with the buggy. it has been a few years since I last done any building... now the motor should hold up to the weight to about fifty hundred pounds, more or less. my last build out was a 2200 VW/ pouche trike. it was a ride never too be forgotten. now in my older years, I'd give anything too still have it. but then is history as they say.

I like your project , keep up not many people can have the patience to go back and build , it may look like overkill the suspension but my believe is that's the best way to go , keep up the good work

Very talented and skilled work! very satisfying to watch!

Definitely enjoying your build and your channel keep the vids coming

Have you ever considerd to use structural strength in your things? For example your Honda CBR buggy rear suspenson is heavy duty, but the connection points to chassis are weak. For example when rear wheel is pushing forward, the force ends up to transversal pipes behind your seat, and the force will try to bend those pipes/ bend the chassis, and finally those transversal pipes will brake of from the vertical side pipe. It would be a totally different thing if there would be a longitudinal pipe, connected to same point as suspension, which would transfer the force "away" from the transversal pipe. So called continuities. You do not have to be expert, just think from where the force comes, and how you can lead the force straight forward, because force does not want to turn to any direction, it wants to go straight forward. Another very big thing is triangular brackets, always try to make connection points as triangular. Look at the connection points, the force tries to also rotate the transversal pipe, because there is nothing to stop that rotation other than the pipes own torsional stiffness. So with a couple of basic rules you will avoid 90% of the mistakes. That is why people end up building heavy duty things (as you have seen everywhere in internet), because they just do not undestand simple basic structural stiffness things. Do not copy paste those mistakes to your things.

no need to dislike, just appreciate evrything he does, learn from his imperfection to avoid repeatetive mistakes.

Love this series. Fast uploads and youre making progress. Im working as a welder/projectbuilder in Sweden. Making trainwagons and such. Someday i would love making something this size 👌

most people dont understand just how much horsepower 100hp actually is, for refrence a '76 VW beetle weighs roughly 1200 - 1300lbs and only has roughly 50hp but will run 85mph all day, so your motorcycle engine should have plenty of oomph to get that rig rolling and doing what you want it to do, sweet build man, cant wait to see the first test drive, its gonna be awesome

To help with the change in camber angle, If you move the upper wish bone mounting points on the frame further away from the centre line of the buggy then shorten the wishbone to suit will greatly reduce camber affects because the relation between the differences in pivot points

Looking great awesome work!!! Can't wait to see it run

This buggy looks awesome it looks like a razor keep up the grate work. ✌🏼

Awesome build. Great video.

That things turning out so rad

3:00 the edit of you tacking it is pretty cool

Wow man! Looking very good! Your an amazing fabricator!

Im sooooo ready for a video on the green bike🙏🏾❤️

Please. Take a look at the ROD END IN BENDING. ESpecially in the front. I ve dealt with it on my buggy. Basically the only thing you should be worried about is mounting the reaction from strut, which is trying to bend the thread on the A-ARM. I suppose you will mount the strut on the bottom A arm. You wont have much to rework. There is a day when it bend and it will happen exactly when the load is the biggest. For example when you land.... Rear end should be fine when you moubnt the strut on the HUB HOLDER

Work of art

Your doing some awesome work

Making some good progress there. 👍😁

Your an amazing fabricator!

Drill some speed holes in the plate and go around putting speed holes wherever feasible you'll be surprised how much weight you can save just by drilling holes and if done right it looks pretty cool too I was able to drop 80lb by drilling 200 2" holes in my car

Great video as usual, makes me want to built something like this, thanks!

nice job so far you are building quick👌

Right on brother!!! Excellent job!

Awesome work dude 👍👍

muito bom assisto a série desde o começo, gosto do seu canal, ainda nao compreendo tudo o que voce diz mas a parte da montagem acho muito bacana e voce é um ótimo soldador kkkk boa noite amigo e parabéns

5 views! I was not expecting to see this till Sunday. Keep up the great work brother

brilliant work bro...keep going !!

Love the new editing

Isso e d+ aki no brasil não tem isso nao! Genial

Love this channel

Awesome looking good

keep going looking good

That’s awesome it’s gonna work out way better then before. It almost look like the rear end of a Polaris razer they have a similar set up. I wouldn’t worry about the engine not having the power to push it around. The bike is geared to go 180mph so if you reduce that with a 2:1 top speed will be 90mph and you said you don’t want to go that fast. so I think just try making a 2.5:1 gear reduction I believe that will give you MAX 75mph top speed at 6th gear redlined.

4:35 How perfect he shaked this thing to the beat lol

This is amazing job bro

Love your videos!!!...im a day one subscriber...what camera do you use?

Lookin awesome!!

Good job dude 👌👊

Nice! Part 5....

good stuff man!!!!

Awesome video!

Bump stops, or your gonna break your back if the frame hits the ground.

Never clicked so fast !!!!

Your going to need to double sheer those back side trailing arm rods. Run them right into the center of that tube, and put a tab on both sides of the rod.. It's hard to tell but it looks like you used a bolt mounted to the side of the tube, thats no good. It's going to peel right off. The other way to side mount to it would be to insert a piece of 1", 1/4 wall dom tube thru your assembly tube and run a 1/2 bolt true it and the rod end.

Wow very nice good job

CBR. 600 will be PLENTY of power for that. Also you need a lot heavier tacks because when you go to final weld all that it’s going to pull hard

5:13 that head bang tho

If you would make the rear suspension similar to the front you could have 4 wheel steering. Just imagine the donuts all the beautiful donuts.

Always a pleasure watching your expressions. Imo your chassis is visually stunning but I do have a few questions about accelerative and braking force, and how the forces are going to be spread over the suspension and chassis.

OMG that's like putting a Geo Metro motor in a full size hummer and expecting it to go fast and fun lol

You'll want to make some guards around your rear axle, if you flip a stick up into them, they'll tear nice and quick.

This build is amazing. It would be sweet if you put a 1000 engine on it and took it to the sand dunes.

Wow!! Nice!!

With your "can do" attitude you've got a great future ahead of you

By the time the frame alone is finished you looking at close to 1,500 lbs or more depending on how you finish the frame build, you may consider aluminum plate to finish out your rear arms. Looking good though. !!

Yeah, it will pull!! :)

If you are worried about the engine not having enough power just add a turbo from Ebay they have plenty and should work good for ya!

Wonderful

Wery nice 😀

Yeah boi it goes on

You are awesome ❤️❤️❤️

This thing is going to be HEAVY. No way he makes it more than a few miles before smoking the clutch in that CBR.

I want to learn from you, to make my own buggy With a 2500 cc engine. I am following you from Africa Sudan

We drive with a suzuki 600 gsxr in a buggy thats weight 430 kg en have 4wd but my car is very fast. That hons engine is good enough for your buggy

The suspension was fine. Look at the Honda 2018 talon.

Really hope you're keeping in mind how wide your shed door opening is to the width of the buggy. Keep up the good work, looking pretty awesome so far.

Im building a buggy with a hopefully a gsxr 750 not sure yet though but the frame is a Murray go kart that I stretched a foot and ATV a arms and tires from a cheap Chinese ATV. Just finished the front end with welding the brackets and stuff and got the a arms bolted on I just need to order the gas shocks off eBay Wich will be soon

triste não saber...entender seu idioma....parabens pelo seu trabalho...abraços aqui do Brasil....

Don't worry about those front S10 hubs. Yes, the 4X4 hubs have a nut and a CV shaft that runs though it, but the 2WD hubs don't. Just an open hole. ...and they hold up the front of a truck. If you want to see what it takes to get them to come apart, check out Abomb79s video from a week ago that shows all the fighting he had to do on the lathe to get them apart.

best way to figure out suspensions is by looking to radio controlled vehicles plenty of types and designs

Nice haircut my dude

It’s cool to build from scratch like that on the fly, but seems a rough sketch with scale and angles and geometry of suspension and engine mounting might help. 🤷‍♂️

Dont drill holes in that plate steel. It makes it weaker. Get a dimple dye. It rounds the inside of the cut and pushes it out. Makes it lighter and stronger than just leaving it flat.

Must be planning on running different rear axles.

Power won't be worse than your average tube frame dune buggy with a VW engine that's just got like carbs and exhaust. From here out though I'd 'think light!' cause your just eating into your HP at this point. Can't wait to see how it works out! (I'd be looking for a litre bike engine to be honest)….

Look up atv gear boxes for auto IRS quads it will be a little more work but then u can order custom axles any time u want as ditect replacement ,hi ,low,and reverse all in one

So hyped for this build man

It always amazes me watching you make something out of nothing.. :) I had an idea for a reverse transmition.. You could make it like your two speed transmit ion.. only the second gear would turn a gear that turns another gear on a shaft and then that shaft would turn backwards. run another chain to a sprocket on that shaft, and then when you shift it will go backwards. I wish I could draw it out for you, but I dont know how to do that on the cumputer..:)

great build. That things looks heavy. I suspect you will need more torque than that thing will make.

Too late, but, about the rear, to get the same setup, but not have to put so many Heim joints in, all you have to do is this. 1. delete all the Heim joints in the parallel bars at the back. They don't need to be Heim joints, and don't need to move anywhere besides on their axis of rotation. 2. on the reach-back bars, delete one of them and put a splined shaft that allows the reach-back bar to extend, doesn't need much. It does however need to be strong. And then you're set. If you do a suspension on the reach-back bar, then obviously you need to beef it up, substantially. This is how (except for putting the suspension point on the reach-back bar) they were done on old F1 cars waaay back in the day.

老哥, 稳!
