Reverse Trike Project Gets New Bigger Tires
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- It's been a long time since you guys have seen the reverse trike build but today I'm working on the rear swing arm of the reverse trike. I wanted to rebuild the reverse trike swing arm to accommodate larger street tires. Next reverse trike video I should be adding a shock to the rear and finalizing most of the swing arm as well as adding the front brake calipers. Also let me know what you guys think about swapping the engine, should I keep the cbr600 or replace it with something else?

Chris, I don’t know if you have a full time job other than UA-cam. But if not you should start a machine shop. You are an extremely talented fabricator.

Moondyne .Joe, I totally agree. Chris has a talent most spend years of training and apprenticeship to achieve. His work appears to be of extremely good quality and looks like it can hold up to some serious tests. But most importantly he has the vision to build things from scratch. He really needs to use that talent to secure a great living and he seems to enjoy it. I wish him all the best and it’s an honor to be able to watch him at work.
He can still use a UA-cam is like a side job and he can start the machine shop as his main job
@@fem298 & post his machining videos & challenges on his page as well
With nearly 500,000 subscribers he's making far more on you tube than a machinist with no(actual) shop experience.
You need a big shop & storage building homie. Surely nearly 500k followers allow it financially.
Alright, my Sunday just got a lot better
You've come a LONG way! I remember the "lifted go-cart" and your tug o war with your friend.
Good on ya!
I would love if you made this project a priority, just sayin'😉
finally... my favorite build!!!
The secret to when it sits , all you have to do is spray starting fluid in through the airbox towards the carbs. I went through the same thing with my 1996 CBR 900 RR for about 3 years and some dude was at the Honda shop and told me what to do, every since then I spray 2 sprays in it if its been sitting and never had to change the plugs because of flooding or anything else. That's been 5 years and I made it easy to access, it doesn't bother me any. Just thought you would like to know. Keep up the great work and God Bless. 💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌
I almost forgot about the reverse trike project. Nice to see it getting some love.
Waited for the continuation of the reverse trike. You did not dissapoint. By far my favourite project of yours.
Ooh, a reverse trike video! Been a while since I saw one of these.
19:50 Just move the engine completely over to line up. No need for a jack shaft or a longer shaft. Also, lower the engine & swingarm pivot. Looks like it can go alot lower. To get a lower center of gravity. While you're at it, 21:12 yes, swap out the engine to something you like.
Looks like a fun project.
Can't go much lower or the oil pan will protrude through the bottom. Tilting the engine back would lower it but you have to worry about the oil pickup not getting enough oil. That engine is designed to be tilted forward like that. Moving it over would change where the weight is in the chassis and throw things off.
@@camyota relocate the engine to make the sprocket match with that of the rear tyre. I had similar experiences while using a car tyre in my reversed trike. A was worried about weight shifting to one side. A Mechanic advised me to do it. And am happy I did it
Yes. He should move the Engine to line up. A single sided swingarm will give less work and better performance
Love watching you working on your projects and seeing how you overcome problems.
Just one thing that you seem to overlook when installing roller bearings in your wheels etc is an anticrush tube between them, you will find it will help allot.
But keep up the good work bud
Anti crush tube??? Oh you mean a bushing!!!!
@@aarongrabowski3775 bushing, spacer tube thay have many names just depends on what part of the world you're from lol
Agree with Sean, any motorcycle swing arm or wheel I’ve taken apart has a anti crush spacer between the bearings to take the bolt torque load.
You have the natural gift of visualizing What right looks like For you, And then the skill and ability to make it happen.
I really enjoy watching you.
Just a heads up: That swing arm attachment to the frame is definitely not going to hold. The swing axle needs a full through mounting at the uprights. A choice of material could be the same square tube you used for the arm itself, and can be lightened the same way you narrowed the ends for the axle tube. The upright holes need a tube through to strenghten the attachment, and that polymer can be used as a vibration isolator/slide bearing but it still needs the steel tube to hold it in place. 3mm thickness is more than enough, more will make the swing arm fish tail from side to side. The current gussett will brake loose from the weld after you hit a bump or a pot hole, and no re-enforcing will fix that design flaw.
Tip for turning plastic, stick the round in the mill first and mill a groove just over the OD you are turning. This makes for a interrupted cut breaking off the chips for you.
I think you need to start venturing into aluminum to save on weight
Its always great seeing your videos come up on my feed. At least you don't do 40 videos in a row on the same old build. You like to rotate your builds which is great and you always make it to all of them. Awesome video! Good luck on the build!
It's looking great Brother.
hell yeah!!
I saw your tiktok about this reverse trike, You talked about the swing arm

I hope you call yourself a fabricator, because you're a full-fledged fabricator at this point man. You're a machine.
Fab porn,,, lol. Good job keeping it plum.
I miss being able to build stuff. My hands are not as they used to be. Yes it needs a bigger motor, more power.
more power baby
Ohhh god finally you uploded video on this project . Thanks bro. Your video's are giving me peace. Love you from india.
You are amazingly talented! That wheel hub and swing arm🤯
I have been seeing your projects since OMB forum and still so fascinated with the level of precision and artistry you bring!
A pair of coupled idler sprockets with bearings running on the swingarm pivot shaft could provide your offset and divorce the chain tension from your suspension travel. Ran one for years.
Chris, with your skills you should build a one-person Mini Sherp. No one has done it yet, or even mentioned trying. They're so sick, but a mini one would be bad***. If anyone can do it, you can!
You have a knack for fabrication few people possess. Tooling you made & purchased is astounding! Awesome channel! Subscription Earned! Thanks man!
Everybody gangster till chris starts doing voiceovers
Chiris just started to watching the reverse trike videos caching up on all the episodes just lick to say you are a craftsman to design this project with no plans is a talent
Looking forward to seeing it finished
Your machining/fab skills are growing so well, such great engineering. One thing I wanted to highlight, most alloy wheels are hub centric, meaning the index from a central radius rather than the lug nuts. If you encounter wheel wobble, it's likely this... well the lack of.
I was so happy to see that turned between centers (around the 7:00 min mark). When it was being welded together all I could think is "There's no way that will be square!"
I should have known better than to pre-judge :D
You need a bigger shop. So u can keep all ur projects inside. Great job though love all ur videos.
Chris, if I had half of your fabricating skills I would be a happy man!!! You are absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful work on the rear end, appreciate the machining shots. Keep up the good work.
I love the reverse trike as well!
Engine swap depends on the traction of the rear wheel. You possibly might put the rear caliper inside the rear wheel to make the swing arm narrower.
Looking good, you must have a great sense of achievement. If your looking for a replacement engine - have a look at the Kawasaki zx12r engine - it will put a smile on your face for sure.
Great job on that fab work. I wish I had the equipment to learn to be a better fabricator. One day I will learn it though
Your abilities on the new lath and mill are really showing. Well Done!
Two things.
You can get car tyres to fit bike rims.
With a front track that wide it’s not a trike it’s a three wheeled car.
But if you can make it tilt it will be FUN!
I'm contemplating a project similar to this using a snowmobile engine
Great to watch !
With your skill, have you ever thought about going the same route as Redbeard and making building custom works for others as a main business?
It was impressive what you were able to achieve with what you had 5 years ago. I stopped getting your videos on my homepage when youtube introduced the bell icon and coming back to your channel recently i see you've really upped your game! Very entertaining and motivating for me to get out and make stuff thanks man.
In an ideal world that rear wheel would fit snugly onto the shaft aka it would be hub centric to take the stress of the wheel nuts. It’s possible you’ve done that and I just didn’t spot it.
Brilliant work 👍
The hub centric wheel idea is what I came to the comments to mention. I agree he may not have the best results with the way he has mounted the rear wheel, hopefully the project is light enough to never matter.
*_HyauBusa 1300 that sucka !!!! Lots weight back there now...Prolly added a extra Hunnert pounds back there now....Also, you need to add some "Sta-Bil" to the gas if you gonna let it sit....Cheers 🍻!!!!_*
Total badass. Its Its funny watching you try to push around your projects 😁need a little more ass behind that weight. Keep doing what your doing. Awesome channel!
You do some quality work. My fantasy project. With all t hat extra weight you may have to up your horsepower
Should've done a single-sided swingarm with a bolt-in unit bearing. But that wouldn't have let you show off your lathe skills nearly as much.
At first I thought he was going that route. Would have been equally impressive though
I have a suggestion. Lug nuts do not do a very good job centering a wheel to the axle. If you can build a bushing for the wheel to axle it will save on wear and tear on this cool vehicle you are building. PS this is considered I believe in most if not all states to be a motorcycle and you should be able to register it for street use.
Not a Motorcycle, he would have to straddle seat, use handlebars and controls. Like Can Am. This classifies and a Autocycle and he needs to build complete roll cage in case of rollover.
@@davessparetime83 The Polaris Slingshot is what he has made and it has car controls and is registered as a 3 wheeled motorcycle.
Hey Buddy, Love your show keep up the good work. You really need to get a oil resistant floor!!!!!! Don’t want to see your shop burning 🔥
Your facing skills are shinning even brighter now that you scored all the FREE machinery 👌🏼
That swing arm looks really cool! The rear hub is very similar to the one I made only half as wide , but your one looks much nicer
A single sided swingarm will be preferable
I would have gotten the front strut off a small front wheel drive car and modified that to suit the geometry.
Having a hub and disk brake assembly to suit a car wheel would be stronger and lighter than what you’ve cooked up there.
On a side note most motorcycles have rubber isolators in the wheel hub to cushion the transmission a bit.
I feel like you will have to do some kind of idler sprockets to angle the chain lower to allow for suspension travel, or lengthen the arm, and angle it more vertically, to have more clearance between the chain and mount of the arm...🤔 overall I love this series, honestly this is the only project that keeps me coming back to watch your channel, because 1 day I want to make my own reverse trike too, I hope to see more updates soon 🙏, thanks for sharing with us 😊
Fabrication looks great. Love watching the build. I know its not fabricated but I think I prefer the motorcycle rear. There's a ton more mass to move with the car tire. Honda Engines are bulletproof. I had 105K on my 600F2 when I bought my 100RR. I never had issues other than a chain tensioner on my F2. I swapped to a Ape manual and never had a problem. Awesome build.
Great video,very good job
Nice work, especially how you laid the parts on your bench for measuring and welding
Perhaps you could start doing polls to see what project should be worked on for future videos, I know I'm not the only one interested in this one! But would be selfish to demand more of this one exclusively so a poll would be a good chance to see if there's more interest on this one!
The precision and attention to detail creates this artistic viewing pleasure I truly enjoy.
Good that you upload videos again 👍👍👍 Excellent channel ... Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷
I like the trike project and ma glad you are returning to it.
But how is this simpler than fitting a 17 inch car tire to the motorcycle rim?
Thank you, Chris. You are a very talented maker. I learn from you . keep safe
I think it looks much better with wider tire it's my favorite build so for
I know I'm a little late and it might of been said already but, I believe most those alloy rims are hub centric. You risk snapping wheels studs since that's where the strain is rather than the hub center.
The talent is real on this channel!!!
Please finish! I LOVE this build! I want to see it road worthy!!!
very nice work mate
I think you need to make hub centric rings for your rear wheel. The hole you made at the rim too big compared to the axle diameter.
1. Prevent the wheel wobbling
2. You can't rely only on the bolt for the strength of the load
Hey man, Claw hammers are for wood butchers.
Ballpean hammers are for mechanics and metal shops.
Unless of course you weld stuff together with nails.
Agreeing with a lot of other commenters, this is my favorite of your projects. Very cool
It's always a pleasure to watch you work.
Good to see you still have an interest in the trike, engine swap a Sporster 1200, cheep torquey loud. : )
Okay so this CBR trike is my favorite build of all of your builds thus far. It’s always been a dream of mine to make either a cross cart, or just an F1 style car to make road legal. There’s just something about an open wheeled car with a high revving engine. Hopefully this build doesn’t get parked for to long and we get to see the end result sometime soon. Keep up the great work, I always get excited every time I see you’ve posted a new video.
Yeah this project needs a bigger engine in my opinion. I love these reverse trike vids, keep up the amazing work.
Suggestion-make it front wheel drive with front steering.
Your the one of only a few guys on YT that actually welded the flanges to the pipe in the proper sequence to minimize warpage. Well Done.
Not many know that you stitch weld them in.
I would personally love to see a K series engine in there, would be a screamer!
Fantastic skilful engineering 👍. Just a thought would it not have been better to swap the motorcycle wheel for a wider one an fit it with a wide car tyre.
Love watching you work making stuff.
Amazing fabrication. Love those chain tensioners.
Hey i see the Zero SRF motorcycles have the motor output shaft as the swinging arm axel.
You could maybe incorporate a jack shaft on the swing arm axel so that the suspension doesn't alter the chain tension.
I am enjoying this. You are quite talented.
by far your coolest project
It would be nice if there were a way to make your own custom rim for the rear of this thing, so that both sides look good. Hypothetically you could've gone for a single-sided swingarm setup on this (makes it easier to change tires), but I think the double-sided swingarm setup is more stable and strong anyways.
The boys got skillz very nice yes sir ya know ya shit my mann. Just awsome.
Extremely cool fabrication. Awesome talent
Awesome, been waiting for this build!
I've been watching your episodes you know what you're doing I'm from Minnesota
Very nice work doing a great job
The centre of the rim is supposed to have a tight fit on the axle, you risk snapping wheel studs with a setup like that
BRO...You.are.Metal.Supper.Man.good.luck...hello.from.Latvia.
Good proyect and work friend and idea thankbfrom Argentina
Beautiful work man
Solid work! Best video I've seen this far.
Great job on that swing arm, way to go
Awesome work! I see you are making good use of those lathes... Keep it up! I need to get me one of those
The number of views for this project, dictate that you should give it a little more frequent UA-cam love!! 😄
The 4WD project will be just as awesome though, I'm sure. Looks cool already. 😏
Excellent job..l will be doing something similar in the months to come...🇬🇧👍
Have you ever considered rebuilding one of your projects out of chro-moly tubing? I know it's expensive, but once you have everything finalized, you could just replicate your previous bends to make a really light, strong, powerful, tested, replica without much waste. I was wondering if you might do that for the CBR1000 buggy
The quality of your projects is outstanding,especially since it’s only you in that small space,using relatively basic tools. I want to see what you can get done with a larger work space and some more tools. Like a real work bench,lol! 🤣
awesome build dude keep it up
WOW just WOW! Fabulous work!
After a realy long time back on the trike
According to me this is the first project which took forever to get finished up but still I like the way the hub turns out it looks like a rocket lol
