Thanks!!! That sucks sorry to hear it, do you think you can try it again someday?

@@matus1976 I'm sure my buddies over at Tokyo Parts could help me get another conversion kit, so hopefully I'll be able to put another one together. Building it was half the fun. ✌

Thanks 👍

Yup I'm familiar with it!

That was pre-pandemic, but was between 1200 - 1400 USD in a high COL area. The lumber is the biggest chunk so a quick estimate could be made just pricing out the 2x4s and 4x4s needed.

Far too much!

@@matus1976 oof

Thanks!

Thanks!!

¡Gracias!, y gracias por seguir el proyecto.

Yup that's right, definitely going to be producing these. Part of the reason it's taking longer is planning & designing for scale and manufacturability and building all those jigs and fixtures. I'd definitely be interested in trying a helix out - though I don't make it up to everett too often, but I'll reach out if I'm going to be in there area! Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

I'm gonna make em and sell em of course!!! Ah but more specifically, I'll test this one out quite a bit and implement any necessary design updates into phase II, and phase II will probably be the first one I offer for sale. The jigs and fixtures will make it much quicker to build more of them.

Yup definitely still working on this! The big videos are a bit delayed but I'll have multiple new videos rolling out soon. Check out instagram (matus_1976 over there) and youtube shorts for recent progress in the interim though.

Oh thanks for this comment, I keep meaning to put that cover back on. Especially now the on trigger sometimes gets stuck on for a second or two, definitely going to put that safety cover back on.

I almost had to go buy more! you can never have enough c-clamps...

Yeah, I'll definitely be doing an electric version. I'm making it powertrain agnostic, it can run off different motors and powerplants with minor modifications. But the first one will be built around the cx500 engine. I think in the Anime it was a hybrid, clearly had some combustion engine tones. Also it has some sort of electricity shooting superconducting ceramic rotors - which don't exist lol.

That's a good point. I'd suspect that recommendation is so the screws can meet the load requirements of the max load the brackets are rated for, but in this build we're not hitting anywhere near that load and the screws can handle the load of this structure just fine, but it wouldn't hurt to use the larger tougher screws.

It sure would be! A front blowout on any bike is a nightmare. It's the leading cause of death from mechanical failure too. Unfortunately airless tires for motorcycles aren't really a thing yet.

Thanks! Glad you found it! I have multiple videos in the works and should be publishing some new ones soon.

@@matus1976 cant wait!

I'm making good progress every day on it! Prepping for manufacturing these building jigs, fixtures, molds and solidworks models as well, so a second one will take just weeks.

Yup, absolutely going to give it the fairings too, but that will be the last step given the investment that goes into composite panel molds and plugs.

@@matus1976 tell me about it I used to do classic sprint racing many years ago and had a fiberglass mold and copy made of an original aluminium dustbin faring for the bike and it was a few hundred pounds back then would hate to think what a full custom fairing is going to stand you.

Have you seen the latest contender in the world of real akira bikes? Design team Bel y Bel has made a hybrid bike that is currently for sale on commission! It blew my mind.

@@1_Micah_1 I'll have to have a look. It's always been one of those things I'd love to own but it's definitely going to be a lottery win before that sort of free cash is available. So guess it'll remain a pipedream.

@@1_Micah_1 Bel y Bel's bike is focused on looking exactly like Kaneda's bike, as opposed to being full size high performance and fully functional. It's quite small and has a top speed of like 40mph. Looks like they are a shop that specialize in movie inspired props. But the craftmanship and skill is top-notch! Just quite a bit different from what I'm doing.

Thanks! yeah those things are very useful, glad you like the video!

I agree with everyone...the best Catio build on UA-cam. Do you remember the number on the Simpson Tie? I cannot find them at the big box. Thanks for a great video and the help.@@matus1976

Absolutely! I got 3 in the works, 2 of which are nearly complete. They are waiting on parts to come in so the videos can complete episodes, I should get the first one out this week or next.

Thanks for following along for so long! Yeah it was long time ago I started this in my basement lol. Sucks how long it's taken, but things are speeding up now and it will all be worth it.

@@matus1976 I'm sure it sucks for you, but honestly this project has become a companion that I have watched for almost half my life. It's the journey, not the destination that matters. Thank you for sharing this with everybody. If I ever see you at a bar I'm buying you a beer!

Oh nice, I wish I has used transparent roofing now, I'm sure they enjoy the extra sun and light and visibility, but really depends on how hot the area is. I'm kind of on the borderline where that may be too hot. I'm glad you liked the video and thanks for the subscription!
