I like the mt07 for the fact that you can basically find all sorts of aftermarket parts for it and make it look the way you want kinda wondering why I never bought one now. Nice build thanks for sharing.
Jake man thank you for your videos. With this bullshit virus going on and ruining my business I need every pick-me-up I can get. Thank you for brightening my day, my man. Means a lot.
That fork is sketchy because the cap is held by a triple clamp..just imagine the torque loading and dynamic loading...just saying be careful great video..though 👍
The lower triple takes up those stresses. At the point it’s and issue for the threads then I’ve snapped the whole lower triple. And at that point I have other concerns!
@@TheGardenSnake hey I just got another idea what if you clamp the top cap in between the top triple clamp.. While keeping both the threaded part centered this way you are holding the actual fork about a inch. I know it will defeat the whole purpose of the height increase but at least you will have less chance of bottoming since you will have stronger springs If that makes any sense. This way you can ride a bit harder knowing that is held stronger!
@@TheGardenSnake Given the amount of space you have there, I would look at maybe getting some clamp on collars made that go around the joint between the cap and the fork tube. Collars that cover the seam between the two and would help reinforce the threaded area and keep them from flexing/getting distorted.
@Bob Sacamano Incorrect. The fork clamps are well above and below the threaded area of the cap and fork tube. What I am proposing is a collar style clamp, in addition, that bridges the gap between the two so it reinforces that connection.
@Bob Sacamano What I am saying makes perfect sense...the fact that you just simply do not understand the concept is on you. Since I'm such a nice guy, I'll spell it out for you. Follow along, will you? There is very much a large gap between the upper and lower triple clamps. There always is. The upper and lower triple clamps are never directly on top of each other, there is always a wide spacing between the two- one above and below the head tube. Perhaps now you are tracking that my proposed collar would be in the space between these clamps. In case you are not following, triple clamps would not be a binding feature between the fork cap extension and the fork tube. You have the upper triple clamp securing the extension, while the lower triple clamp secures the fork tube. There is a space between where the extension cap threads into the tube. This is the proposed area of reinforcement. If you are finally on board with the location of the proposed collar, I will spell out why your thinking is flawed: One of the multiple reasons behind having 2 triple clamps rather than just one is leverage. It is difficult to keep the forks aligned properly with the head and frame of the bike with just one clamp, let alone maintain durability, hence the need for two. Normally you have a single continuous fork tube that would run through the both of them. In the case of Jake's build, you do not. You have a fork tube run through the bottom, threaded into a fork cap extension which runs to the top triple clamp. The inner threaded portion of the fork tube is designed to have a fork cap. That's it. Those threads were never designed with the intent of having an extension piece of several inches to leverage against them. When you put the forks through two independent triple clamps, the issue isn't going to be so much any sort of axial, compression, or tension loading, it will be the leverage of essentially the full length of the fork against those caps, and thus the threads inside the fork tube. As a result of this leverage, there is the potential for the failure of the fork tube wall around the threads, catastrophic or otherwise. Leaks, warping of the top of the tube, cracking, splitting, failure of some sort, are all possible as a result of this modification and it's intended use. Hard braking, off road riding over logs, ruts, rocks, whatever the case may be places a lot of load on BOTH clamps. That load is now being transmitted through a fork with an extension and threads that were never designed for it. Placing a clamp style collar over the area where the fork tube and extension cap meet would reinforce the threaded portion of the fork tube and make the previously mentioned failures much less likely. Those failures, by the way, being fairly common with such a modification. Bob, if you are still confused, please let me know, and we will see what we can do to help you grasp this concept.
Ha Jake you already got the perfect bugout bike the XR650R....no battery to go flat, and basic electronics, a strong reliable engine in a go anywhere package 😁👍
That sounds like the worst idea. The bike already feels under sprung. Why would I want to take a bunch of preload out? The spacer is right up to the fork cap too. Shorting it would make it sit lower and have some sloppy slacked out bit. “The bike is so dangerous” 😂 ok guy. I think that dudes a bit 🥴
@@TheGardenSnake the fork has too much internal preload. It feels so over sprung and under dampened partly because of that. Can't believe a guy as knowledgeable as you can't believe that it would work. He only does it if you go up on oil thickness.
I don’t believe it because I am knowledgeable. A video from a guy that does professional suspension work telling us our stock suspension is going to kill us... sound to me like what he really wants is to have people bring their fz07s and a bunch of money to him. I’ve had this bike for years and I’ll admit the stock suspension is cheap. But dangerous... no
Glad even the Americans speak to us British!!! Even more shocked when he appears on the phone. Spicy should defo hit you up in the states in the future.
Something they used to do in NASCAR back in the 40's and 50's when they ran on sand/dirt was they'd put window screen a few inches in front of the radiator (so air could get around the screen and through the radiator because yes window screen does make a massive restriction in air flow) and they'd mount it on springs that way anything that'd fling up would be stopped by the screen and the springs would allow it to give so it didn't tear and also it'd bounce around when they hit bumps and self clean. (mostly)
Pretty rad, Iv been creating SuMo stuff in my garage this past few weeks also. Just wanted to say from experience, that fender is going to hit your radiator when the forks compress. I wrecked one after i was proud of myself for trimming it perfectly LOL.
Quite honestly in a home defense situation that I would know nothing of as a Canadian because we can only defend ourselfs with the equal amount of force being put on to you, but I digress, having that ability to make a phone call on the flashlight while you're trying to clear an Invader of your home seems pretty practical in this day and age
For the fork oil height, just use a drinking straw and put some tape around it at the desired fork oil height. Dip it in, put your finger over the top to keep the oil in the straw, and remove oil until you're at the desired height. Syringe works well, but you can make due.
I'm also a bit concerned about the torsional forces on the forks. It's true that the forks are still solidly clamped by the bottom clamp, but I can't help think there are still significant torsional forces beyond what could be held by the bottom clamp alone. There will still be large twisting/torsional loads applied at the top clamp. Imagine holding a pipe in one hand in the middle of the pipe and trying to resist someone trying to rotate it, then try again with the same hand in the middle but the other hand at the end of the pipe. That hand on the end has a large contribution to your strength. In other words, if your forks were ONLY clamped at the lower clamp it would twist and snap off or bend. So the top clamp does contribute significantly to the rigidity and strength of the front end. Now you are passing those loads through the threads on your extended cap. Perhaps it is fine, but for sure they were not designed for that purpose.
If you made a sleeve that fits between the triple clamps to go around the new fork cap and the original fork, it should increase the strength immensely. Then you shouldn't have to worry about the cap snapping off. I'm sure the threaded area of the fork is not going to be strong enough to take long term abuse otherwise.
But the lower triple is taking up those forces. At the point I need to worry about the threads I’ve got other issues like snapping the lower triple. I see what you’re saying but I think it will be fine.
@@TheGardenSnake Okay, I kind of see what you are saying, but I don't think a singular triple clamp is built to take torsional forces, hence there are two of them. you probably wouldn't want to rely on the lower triple to take them up. So, yes, the lower triple would break along with the fork cap contraption, but I think a simple sleeve would stop any of it from breaking. Better safe than sorry?
I was going to get a dual sport to explore construction sites,but I'm looking at an Fz07,because I like more speed,but not too much,and dont want a heavy bike. It seems you combined the 2.
Bill Gates of hell came out with a new patent I hope everyone is paying attention, these are historic times family. Jake your build is coming along beautifully 👍

Prayers for Mrs Gardensnake, nothing's wrong with her I just know she's got her hands full
do you have the link for that flashlight? i might need it in my life 😆
Hey jake, MY BIKE. IS ALL. CLEAN
Straight after the video ended I got a ad from yamaha and their tenere 700. I think they know what you are doing.
😂 hell yeah
The shot with the xr with street tires and the fz with the off-road tires next to each other, really sums up what Jake is all about.
You've turned an of road bike into a street bike and a street bike into an off road bike lol haha love your vids
I should read comments before commenting. Ehh, F@k it.
So nobody say anything but I've heard from a reliable source that the flashlight is the future 😁
Dude that thing looks like a monster! lol I can't wait to see you ride that thing.
"Quite their a sponsor!" 🤣
nice cameo xD
they're*
Jakes bolting stuff on...that makes him a customize-er!
👍🏻
Dude really nice idea for the fender mount!!!
🙏
that bike is looking bad ass more and more.
I didn't realize how bad I wanted a tenere until this series
I’d want to get rid of the whole rally faring if I had one.
@@TheGardenSnake Show me something that will look decent and I'll try it on mine.
So rowdy can wait to see this on the road
I love how enthralled you were with the flashlight
draws with a black sharpie on a black fender. love it
😂 I could see it but yeah I hear ya
That flashlight is the future! Thanks Jake to show me the future! :D
Dude that bike looks mean!
Nice video Jake good to see the MTt07
9:55 gave me the goosebumps!! :O
I love the black and blue nice video nice edits
The flashlight phone made me subscribe. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No trickle charger needed for the lithium battery also. Great building ideas. Another great video. Thx
Cant wait to see how it rides
That bike looks gnarly
Wow, that thing is gonna be sick!
Very cool. The WRFZ-07 looks way better than that Hondog and it's not even done.. Sweet.

Elves and Fairies should be a dual series between Motonosity and Dan.
That was really cool how the fender was mounted. Think most would just have just said screw it.
I lay in bed at night and think about how I’m gonna make everything work. If I was normal this wouldn’t work.

that front fender will crush your radiator for sure even as soon as those wheels touch the ground
Okay I’m ngl....... I had my doubts....but ya boys only gone and done it💪🏼 Fair play bro

gets a beast of a dirtbike - reworks it for the street
gets a streetbike - puts knobbies on it
gardensnake logic
It’s really coming together nice. Makes me wish I had the knowhow and money to do something similar with my SFV 650.
You gunned on the fork pinch bolts. I'm going to have a heart attack now.
Oh the axle is hand tight hahaha. Wheel has to come back off anyways.
after the skid plate video I thought this was gonna look like like some backyard steel plated monstrosity, now it's starting to look kinda beast
So you have an offroad bike turned street,and a street bike turned offroad? Hell yeah.
Jake cut some pvc pipe or something that’s longer than the spring spacer from the factory like 10-15mm longer to put some preload on the spring.
There’s that’s gray pvc that’s not pvc that’s good for that. Did that on my drz back in the day. If I think I need it I’ll do that.
Waiting for so long to see the bike like this hahaha amazing project Jake. Thanks for doing this 😁

looking good. I got crap for suggesting fork tube extenders on a cb500x forum a while ago. I'm really interested to see if it works out.
I think the caps will be the easy and cheap way to add clearance. And I pretty sure they’ll be fine.
What’s the link for the light speaker gotta get me on of those
Jake, you don't need front brakes 🤣
Won't the front fender hit the radiator when the forks compress?
