- Опубліковано 23 лис 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?

this vehicle is so special. when it's accelerating, its nose goes up. when it's braking, its nose goes down.
maybe, i think this vehicle motion is so exiting. i want to see next video very very much!!
I have done the same. When you are very tired, you start missing many things. Now, since lessons learn. I take a brake and once my mind is settled and muscles relaxed. I recheck everything before starting the engine work.
And it never fails, when checking twice, things seem to work just right. Great video and you never lost heart in what you are doing: perseverance goes a long way.
We have been waiting for this thing to come back forever!!!!!!!!!!
its always good to have your bowls clean. there is this girl i call time to time. she does a great job at leaving my bowls clean. nothing left in them.
This video was about 100 times more interesting than the title implied. grin.
Thanks for all of your videos.
Handy tip for when changing spark plug in deep cylinder heads, get a straight peice of fuel hose, stick it over ceramic end of plug to finish unscrewing it, u can also use hose to refit and start screwing into cylinder haeds.
You could build a sprung tensioner that'd ride the chain at perfect tension through the motion of the swingarm easy.
This thing is getting awesome.
You do good work, and your fabricating skills are excellent. Don't best yourself up about the electronic issues. Thanks for the videos
Looking real good! With a “pusher” fuel pump it’s good to have it gravity fed. Dropping that pump to the level of the outlet will ensure full pressure all the time. I try and have them in the rail right below the tank.
Just to be honest..... I said to myself before making any comments … see what this guy is all about. Well I here to compliment the channel for great stuff that at least keeps me glued to the screen. No dought you have great skill sets that separate you from the great number of groups out here building.... My only grip is there has to be a road map to these builds. I realize that it's boring to pull out the paper to solve problems... Such as suspension geometry..... Steering geometry, and so on....You are a smart person.. Your attention to details puts you out front....stay cool..
Has anyone ever told you , you are brilliant. It blows my mined the things you make ,keep up the good work bud!!
Loved the split ring lathe fixture for machining the sprocket bore - great work!
Just a thought for a future build, if you go to the scrap yard and see a torsion bar type suspension (trailer or camper) check to see if it's not one of those rubber types. For a small project like this, they make a really cool swing arm, because it's all self contained in the arm and pivot.
the same setup is in the original VW beetle :)
Minis too.
F1 quite literally uses tortion bar suspension now.
@@dylanzrim3635 that's true 👍
Man your builds and skills have gone crazy from homemade mini bikes to this amazing. You should check laws on making it street legal that would be cool
Agree completely last time I watched your video, you had built your first one, and it was cool but, nothing like this work of moving art 👌
Title and plate it as an assembled motorcycle, then drive the S**t out of it!
Would think it need head lights tail lights and indicated with title and plate
Check with wherever you get tags ( in VA. it is the DMV ) about registering it as a custom built or experimental vehicle . I don't know how hard it is where You live but hear it isn't to hard, it is the same process you would go through to register a custom motorcycle .
Don't forget insurance, that will be the most expensive part.
Coolant expands when it get's warm and you'll need to put an expansion tank to collect the overflow so it can suck back into the radiator when it cools down. It doesn't necessarily mean it's overheating when it start's spitting out.
Nice to get a full video.
It looks like this one could benefit from simplifying that wiring harness. Chopping it up and trimming the fat might solve some of those electrical issues.
You, sir you are my true inspiration someday I wanna have my own workshop where I can work on projects like these.
Just watching you mill and work puts a smile on my face keep it up.
A quality coarse roughing end mill will speed things up nicely on the rotary table. I also suggest a larger surface area for the rear swing arm pivot bracket.
awesome project - much respect for making most of the parts from scratch
This build is my favorite from you. Please keep improving on it and make it street legal
Aight 1 am in the morning here in philippines finishing my schoolwork while watching this ive been waiting for these
Love the project. Beware the coolant at operating temperatures. A drip becomes a stream or worse real fast and it melts skin.
this is my fav of all your builds
Simple ingenuity on that output shaft really like what you came up with there.
😊😊😊
You sir..are a genius. I wish I had half your fabrication skills. Great job man
Love the socked foot carb installation method.
On the chain sprocket you can put a side guide to keep the chain in place.
you gotta realize this is one of your best/most inventive/inspired build....
When you are using random shock/springs here is something to consider. There is more to the stiffness than spring wire diameter. The amount of coils and thier diameter is also a big factor. Imagine the spring unwound as a straight piece of wire. If you have a shorter piece of wire it's harder to bend. So a tighter wound coil(less overall length in the spring wire) will be stiffer than a larger diameter one with the same wire and number of coils. Tge same reason a coil spring becomes stiffer when you cut them.
They don't become stiffer when you cut them, you only get that feeling as a placebo effect. Physics says you're wrong.
@@FarmerFpv bullshit. What's easier to bend a 3 ft or a 4 ft piece of wire? You missed physics class. Longer lever easier to bend. A wound spring is still a lever, just a different shape. When you cut a wound spring it is getting shorter in overall wire length. It is in turn harder to bend and stiffer. Two springs of the exact same height and wire diameter, same wound diameter. If one has less coils spaced further apart it is a shorter piece of wire and therefore stiffer. Trust me, I've been studying suspension design/geometry and building/tuning my drift car for 4 years. It's a one of one car no one makes parts for, I built and modified every piece on it myself. The easiest way to stiffen the spring is by installing blocks between coils. When they can't compress it has the exact same effect as cutting a coil off without lowering it. I cut 2 coils in front and got the desired ride height, and it stiffened it considerably then I measured the distance between the coils and made nylon blocks that snap in. 3 blocks on each coil to keep them from collapsing uneven. I have two sets of 3 on each side. The spring was 10 coils and it's now essentially a 6 coil spring 40% stiffer. The dead coils play no part in the spring rate of the rest of the spring.
For the rear chain slack, install a idler spring to take up the slack when the eheel goes up and down.
A tech tip I learned back in High School shop class was to take a length of vacuum/washer fluid hose to help put in spark plugs. It will fit tightly over the plug, allowing you to use it to hand tighten and loosen the plug as well as to easily extract/install them from their housings.
Excellent tip. Or use an old spark plug boot.
If you take it to the track you will have to put on a catch can and return for that radiator overflow.
This is my favorite project on all of UA-cam
Do what ever you need to do, make it street legal. Take it to the
DMV or Department of Motor Vehicles. Get a license plate and
JUST PISS OFF YOUR FRIDLEY NEIGHBOR. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁👍👊
Great job.😎👍
I would buy a Harley and BLAST it up and down the road wide open waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lol... Give him a nice wave going buy at 100
Man peoples need to mind their own business that neighbor erks me
Wow! The engine sounds like a Crossplane R1. So good!!!!
i believe that pump needs constant power with the key on......
Love the Rockin Music you always play great rock guitar stuff.. PLUS YOUR WORK IS AMAZING !!
A piece of garden hose is great for fishing your spark plugs out and idle down a bit so the gears will engage better (max) down under
Loving the build. Lowering that idle should get rid of the lawnmower idle sound.
I agree with the cbr 1000 engine thought. I'd watch those episodes too.
Love the project. From what I see there are still some things to be tweaked. But I am gonna be here for it.
How can someone be so skilled?
Hats off and thanks for the good video!🙂
I think that would be great right now…33°C in the northern woods of BC, Canada….cheers!
by far my favorite channel of this type on YT. Look forward to the next video!
😂😂😂👍👍🤘🏻🤘🏻 Like how you don’t hide your mistakes.
Get a universal pi.p from track auto
Get a ump from another iniy
3,z, 7 pounds
How u
.I h presure
To.img ok
yup deffo sounds like a lown mower idle is very high maybe that might be better when they is an air filter to regulate the air better
Use a short piece of rubber hose that slides over the end of the spark plug to remove and install them.
Tip for excanging sparkplug use the plug wire to pull it out
You can always run your own new wires to the fuel pump, fuse it with proper amperage at the battery and install your own manual switch if you don't use a key on positive to trigger a relay.
Good work though
You are an excellent fabricator. I want one of these cool trikes since I’m missing my left leg from a motorcycle accident. So Cool!!!!! Thanks for these terrific videos, cheers!
Hey Chris FYI a cool trick I learned from my dad. If you push a short piece of rubber hose over the end of your spark plug it will be much more secure and you will have the tactile feedback when starting the threads in the head.
I find it useful to use a 1/4 " ratchet. You can't easily over tighten the plugs then. Mind you I'm pretty heavy handed have broken and striped many nuts & bolts
On a fast street buggy.. you really want your suspension to be very stiff and firm.. so that it will perform well in the corners. So you'll be upgrading those later when you come to this realization after driving it.
Use a piece of rubber hose that fits over the porcelain to remove and start the threads with your sparkplugs.
your driving up the driveway clip was amazing
creative knowledge, complete equipment, abilities are there, fantastic, amazing, cool, successful boss
Maybe one day you can friction weld some items. 😎 ....Man, you seriously need a plasma table. ....Can't you just use the engine for the title/registration? Then it's a road going vehicle.
I don't know if you know this, you could have machined that rear sprocket to also be a brake rotor. then you install the caliper between the two open sections of chain. they have the sit up on Harley-Davidsons, I've seen it on custom bikes before. on the rear brake, it's only 30% of your stopping power anyway. heat doesn't affect the chain, it really would be a good setup for this, you could Mount the caliper right to the swing arm, and it would fix the problem with the caliper being so close. you would actually get rid of the extra weight of the disc brake rotor, as well hope this helps.
Looking good! You could always try to move the rear swing arm pivot points outboard to align them parallel either side of the chain drive sprocket. Then you would have no issues with the chain rubbing and the chain tension would not alter as the suspension angle changes?
Really pleased to see this build nearing completion, its one of my favourites.
One thing I waould say is that the brackets that hold the swingarm to the frame need to be a lot beefier, even small road bumps will, in time, crack those ones you have now. Have the base that is welded to the frame at least twice the width as the top section
And the pivot point as close to output sprocket centre as possible to stop that chain slapping the swing arm?
Great video today👍
Those carbs need setting up , balance carbs and air screw adjusted ...
Really enjoyed tonight's episode 👍👍
Nice to see this thing rolling on its own power and kinda sad that you will get rid of it but im sure what ever you come up with wont dissapoint,decides im stocked on that awd build
If this thing was road legal, it would be awesome, you can maybe try a go kart track if you have one nearby. I really like this project.
Only thing I would change is radiator placement its going to sit in dead warm air unless you make air scoops but still id move it into oncoming air flow
Use a piece of hose and push it on top of the spark plugs to pull them out and put the new ones in too
Really cool build, I could see it all junked up and in a Mad Max movie. keep it up!
for disassembly and assembly, you can use the fuel line, just put it on the spark plug and take it out, or insert it and screw it lightly
Nice work. It is a good idea to mount the fuel pump lower than the tank. These pumps are sometimes pusher pumps than sucking pumps.
I have dealt with a similar fuel pump problem on my bike. If yours is a combination f2 and f3 then the fuel cutoff relay could be going bad. Also just turning the key off and back on will cause the pump to prime. That way you don’t have to kill the battery turning it over. Also if you use a spark plug boot to fish out the spark plug it’s a lot easier.
Need to add a catch can, as water is expanding and constantly loosing it on the road, when it cools it goes from catch can back into radiator, also throw a thermo fan on the back of your radiator, should resolve your overheating problems, but what an amazing machine you have created here man! Good job mate! Love your engineering skills , keep those projects rolling man!!
Marty and Moog would be proud of that foot shot on the carb reinstall. I think I would bypass the harness and install a new fuel pump relay and wiring independent of that mess you inherited.
Wish I had a garage. I get written notice to quit if I bring out a rattle can . Trailers are actually pretty tight rulers now days. King
Rule of thumb for tightening anything. Tighten until your shoulder pops or until it starts getting easier to turn, then back it off a quarter turn
Great job of bleeding the fuel system! Can't be too thorough.
In CA, three wheelers are still considered motorcycles. As long as you have the paperwork from the bike, you should be able to register that as a custom motorcycle. Usually bike titles have an engine serial# as well, easing this process.
I almost cried when i seen this vid come up, I waited all week for part 2 of the crawler build and bang no crawler
Your builds are getting more and more impressive. 👍
the talent this man has it crazy to even comprehend 🤯
Snug and a quarter turn more. Use a rubber hose. Over end of spark plug. To remove and install.
The tires look so much better!!
Rear swing arm suspension maybe needs a bumper to stop bottom out. Needs proper shock, I wouldnt trust going down the road on that shock. Take a turn hit a dip in the road your finished. Also should probably think about twisting forces on that swingarm. Gonna be a different plane of force than lets say a motorcycle that leans and puts more pressure upwards always. Dont wana see you get hurt is all. Love the builds keep em comin
Very nice work ! Seems you are very talented the trike has a great look about it. Thanks for sharing your video and some of your skills at fabrication.
As for my opinion, the chain needs some spring loaded roller on the upper side to keep the tension when the suspension moves and to prevent the touch of the upper part of the rear arm by the chain. Maybe am not right but think so. Thanks for the video.
Happy to see another video so soon please keep them coming. Great job 👍
I have to tell you Chris, you are quite talented! love your channel and glad to see you got almost half a million subs. you make look easy and i really enjoy watching the machining and making parts that you cant buy elsewhere.
So now you've got your sheet metal bender. Show us all that you can wrap the the cage and give your trike the best look possible
So glad I found this channel. I'm sure you already worked this out, but looks like the pull of the chain is pulling the swing arm down.
That's so cool. If it had 2 wheels in the back it would look like a formula 1 car. 👍
Snap on has some really good spark plug sockets that really hold the plug for removing and installing them I have a set (2) that I have been using for over 30 years with no problems...
Don’t you need to pay for a membership just to even look at the tools?
@@dylanzrim3635 Don't know, if you are driving around and you see a Snap-on truck just wait your turn and ask the driver for a set, but they are not cheap but they are well worth it...
you have the machine work down dead bang,i honestly think you could build anything,my brother was a master machinist,fit form function is all of it,you have that down by the way,people who don't make mistakes,they don't do anything,carry on,have a ball
You are something special I used to dream about building stuff like that but I don’t think I am talented enough you are phenomenal keep up the great work
I hate trikes, but love your "can do" fab from scratch. Great stuff.
not a bad looking delta trike. maybe add an idler sprocket to the swingarm pivot as if it were a jackshaft, then it doesn't matter how high the pivot is.
just came here to say this very same thing... this is a common mistake. In a current project "RIch Rebuilds" is about to find this out on his Electric Harley build.
@@beforebefore most of my designs have the idler on the actual swingarm pivot or if it's using a jackshaft, the shaft is the pivot. my front suspension is another story, heavy to the point of nonsensical.
Teflon cutting boards are pretty good for chain sliders
You are going to need a spring loaded high speed roller tensioner on the bottom of that chain as well as a plastic guide on the top. There is no way that chain is going to stay on whipping up and down will wear the chain out very soon and the safety factor is dangerous at best. If it comes off at high speeds and breaks apart the results could cause serious damage to the machine as well as the driver. Just be ready for some serious problems if you don't take the time to get it right. Also when braking that chain will want to jump and bounce continuously if if it not supported properly again it will cause wear and tear on that chain. You may want to add an additional shock to that rear end to counter act and slow the movement of that spring loaded shock it could stabilize that swing arm and help with wear and tear on that drive chain. You may still end up changing that pivot point in order to get it to work properly.
use a piece of fuel line to install/remove loose spark plugs just slide it over the porcelain top it kinda acts like a sparkplug socket with the rubber in it.
You can use an adjustable wrench on the jaws of the 3 jaw chuck instead of the T-handle when tapping, just fyi
Bravo dude! The trike has came along great. I’m jealous.
There you can find a type of liquid sealant in market that provides fine substitute of gascades. This sealant becomes solid once applied. I think it may help you lot.
