- In this video we get the frame back from the plater - I think this may be the only nickel plated adventure bike in the world and considering the trouble that makes a lot of sense. We install a titanium SC Project full exhaust and a Rottweiler carbon fiber intake system as well as get the bike back up on it's new legs: Factory WP XPlor suspension for 300mm of travel. This episode is about getting a rolling chassis and intake and exhaust.

A WHOLE DAY FOR A LATCH? Consider me subscribed. For life.
It's gonna be the blingiest bike on the trail.
This needs to be a mad scientist series on netflix or prime :) bravo!
Seat latch is the business, looking forward to this build
Thanks Laurie - I'm looking forward to it myself. It really went off the rails but I'm super excited by what I hope will be the result.
All I can say is amazing work, can't wait to see the final episode. Glad I stumbled on your channel 👍🏻👍🏻
This Build is Blowing me a way i have no experience in Fab Work just love how you knock this stuff up love to learn how to use that Equipment
Can not wait for the next instalment looking forward to it
Cheers from Aussie
Oi! Thanks mate! Your side of the pond is filled with some genius fabricators. It just takes some time and patience. I've been learning for 20 years now.
Ditto...would love to do this stuff!
Nice seat release, love to have that on my Norden.
Can't wait for the next video!
How dare you question the worth of that glorious lever. This series is mana from heaven, I’m hooked; thanks!
It was worth. Those small details does the trick 👌🏻
A very nice detail! Great work on the video as well.
Thanks. I really struggle with video but slowly, very slowly, I'm getting better at it.
The best 890 build by far.
absolutely gorgeous
Wow! Appreciate your amazing skills to do the work, have a vision and tell the story. Beautiful results!
Man you even labelled the wires and created a seat unlocking mechanism? How sick is that? I just love what you're doing! Thank you for sharing.
Yes!!!
Soooo worth.
I think I'll appreciate later.
@@GregorHalenda-Saku-Moto Its the stupid little shit, that takes forever, that makes the bike for ppl like us.
I absolutely love these build videos. Thank you for sharing the process with us so we can follow along.
What do you mean it wasn’t worth a day? It’s really slick and besides, it’s not like you’re on a deadline or anything…
I know, what am I worried about?
@@GregorHalenda-Saku-Moto ...if you had had a coffee it would have only taken half a day...
The intro music made me think you were making a commentary on the bling of the chrome-plated version of the frame. But I now guess that was nickel, and I got a kick out of it either way. There is no doubt the bike is being turned into a functional form of art. And the seat latch! Is it worth a day, or a significant fraction of one? Not if you're an analyst or an MBA, of course. But if you're a human, passing through this life and exploring for yourself what to make of it, day by day-you get to choose what's worth what. One way or another, you are obligated to choose (including whether to show us your choices) and I am enlightened and impressed by the choices. Thank you for letting all of us follow along!
Thanks. Small details add up in my mind - I just wished this one was quicker to make.
Nice work!
Love the seat release Gregor. Nice work.
Thanks Mike!
Love the plated frame, love the detailed fabrication . . . hate the stock snorkels. Car and bike makers put all that work into their engines and then choke them with cheap narrow intake ducts.
Yes, but the new airbox should sound as good as it looks - it will honk for sure. The question is will you be able to hear that over the exhaust?!
ALL worth it
Oh, of course you'd say that!
Looking great guys. Rottweiller have an upgraded filter now, the older ones can let dust through and have damaged some engines, might be worth checking which one you have. Adv rider has some good info on this if you want to investigate further. Looking forward to the finished build.
Wondering if this was at the One motorcycle show in Portland last summer?? Did I miss it?? 🤔 how . Looks sweet. More videos on it 🙏 please.
Can’t wait for the next video! Will there be one? This is awesome!
I read your 950 build on ADVrider and somehow stumbled on your channel. I also have an 890 ADVR, so this is a very interesting perspective on how my bike could look
Man u doing a awesome videos! Keep going.
Soo many people will ask "what's the lever for?" then you'll know it was worth it.
Ha, I hope so!
Um...I want that latch!😆 I, too, would have gone down the rabbit hole...but knowing me I would have been trying to fit in some sort of actuator to use with remote 😂🤣. I strongly strongly dislike the key mechanism on my 790 and always feel like the key is about to break.
This is awesome.
Holy crap!
I disagree, that was totally worth a day. It's little details like that which make the bike!
Thanks. I'm glad you appreciate it. I typically really like details that no one notices but me and few others.
Looking great, sir! Details are always worth it
Matt! Thanks man. I think you need to fly out and come for a ride on it sir!
Hi from Ireland. While the frame was being nickel plated (some day that will be illegal!) you could have mirror polished the swingarm..... Just a thought. Cheers, good work.
That is a horrible thought! It would have taken forever!
@@GregorHalenda-Saku-Moto There is no harm in a nod to the past Gregor. Vintage speedway, CCM's, Marty Moates' KSI XL450 MX bike, all with nickel frames and swingarms. Maybe it's not the time to suggest a Preston Petty front fender and round headlight ?!
worth it ! :)
Ha, I'm not too sure about that but I'll take it!
Such amazing work, Great job. Pizza time!
Whoa, that intro music had me thinking an episode of "Starsky & Hutch" was coming on. On a serious note what brand of pants were you wearing at the end of the video and do you like them.
I pretty much only wear Mascot pants - and yes, I really love them. I have a few different styles but basically all the same: Finnish carpenter pants that work amazing.
Will you be having more videos on this build? Very inspiring.
When do we see the finished bike?
Did you have any issues bleeding the brakes , with the abs pump , I fitted cone valves on mine and fitted the rally brake pipe, it bleed ok, just wondering if you had issues
Did someone say "scope creep" ;-)
Well, yes, I've always said mission creep but yeah, same thing.
Lmbo! The build is looking good! Love ur projects! Side note…do u by chance have the part number or info for the Lectron carb on ur XR build? I was inspired by u to do a similar project. Thanks. Keep crushing it!
I had them pick the carb for me. We had trouble getting it tuned and took the carb off to eliminate that as an issue. In the end the keyway on the ignition was cut wrong so the timing was way, way off and that was the cause but I haven't put the carb back on yet. I want to do that this summer - I have more plans for that bike.
Greatly appreciate it. Looking fwd to more of ur content. Happy building!😎🤪
I'd put one on my 1290
Ep. 3? 🥺
