    I've owned the xt600E for nearly 30 years and didn't realise that it could be transformed into such a thing of beauty. An honest account of a lovely build, chap. Well done.

    Classy build. The wood and brass accents are a great touch. The oil tank is totally unique.

      i had an 85 and 86 xt 600 same bikes 1 had more black the other more red whatever identical more or less the oil tank was on the left side up high just under the side of the seat hidden by a side cover it was made of tin i guess better for heat holding heat and cooling quicker not getting as hot but i like this

    What a rad original concept!!! And the wood, oh the wood, absolutely brilliant idea, and looks perfect in the way it was used! Well done mate, well done!!!!

    On some other level. The details are insane.
    The elegance on this would put all Ducati's to shame.

  • @ljaysperspective1775
    @ljaysperspective1775 4 роки тому +1

    Its s very beautiful looking bike. Both the medal and wood work were uniquely composed and put together in such a way that it appears to have rolled off an assembly line. The bike is beautifully balanced between artistic appeal and practicality. Nicely done thx for sharing......

  • @stephensinclair2541

    That is bloody fantastic. Absolutely love it. The wood looks really good and is always a bit different. Zebrano is a bugger to work too(furniture maker too) so amazing job. Bet it sounds good too👌

  • @kiwiabroad8390
    @kiwiabroad8390 5 років тому +2

    Looks radically different to the knock about XT600 I once owned. Good on you for using new and old materials side by side so well. Very nice.

  • @PavanKumar-bx9pg
    @PavanKumar-bx9pg 5 років тому +2

    Your bike is awesome, don't care about the haters it is a master piece and i love the way you have used wood to make bike parts. Please continue doing your artistic work , All the best take care

  • @edwardtupper6374
    @edwardtupper6374 5 років тому +1

    I bet I'm not the only one nodding smiling gasping at the seat loving every part. I really love the use of brass, works wonderfully with the anodised ali bits and the wood too. I don't know if the whole thing is cohesive but there's no question that is one of the best bikes ever built, can't wait to hear it running and see it in turns :)

  • @raymorris952
    @raymorris952 5 років тому +1

    Very very nice, i like the seat, the wood is beautiful. It looks like a restoration of an antique . Mint.

  • @goodgoat3096

  • @TINKcustoms
    @TINKcustoms 4 роки тому +1

    That's quite a transformation, from dirt to street. Love crazy ideas, great job! ENormous amount of work on that front end.
    Love the oil tank and the seat of course! Astonishing work and love the introduction of wood.

  • @CustomJ
    @CustomJ 5 років тому +1

    The bike looks incredible. Engineering and design both nailed it. I like the wood. Like walnut panelling on a Bentley.

    • @edwardtupper6374
      @edwardtupper6374 5 років тому

      And plastic woodgrain inside Nissans and woodgrain down the side of a Chevrolet wagon!

  • @tonykeast9966
    @tonykeast9966 5 років тому +1

    Seriously beautiful piece of work. Oil tank is genius and woodwork impressive. It'll split to bits if it gets used. Contraction and expansion plus impact = splinter hole. But I'd just mount it on a wall. Good work that guy!

    • @edwardtupper6374
      @edwardtupper6374 5 років тому

      I'm not sold on that oil tank and the bits of wood hiding it and the ignition. But I do like the way the seat tilts up, that is sweet.

    Beautiful piece of art... I wish I had a seat like yours... We thought about a wood seat, but we were not able to visualize it.. It really helped to see your video. Every detail on the bike was well though out.... Congratulations

  • @h2489-m2l
    @h2489-m2l 5 років тому +1

    An amazing build. Crazy attention to detail. The rear is especially beautiful. A lot of brakes and suspension for an XT600 engine though!

    • @edwardtupper6374
      @edwardtupper6374 5 років тому

      It's got a bigger Wiseco piston, and extensive work to the breathing apparatus, on a fresh build and virtually stark naked: it's going to be pretty good. Maybe not 636 sharp, maybe will need suspension, steering, gearing all dialled in. But it would be very grunty from low in the rev range resulting in a bike that can torque out of curves and keep some bigger bikes honest.

    I love it!!!! Really really love it. I’m adding brass bits to my black Harley 48 and I was just wondering how some wood bits would tie in. Now I know IF done tastefully, it can be done.

    Great build. The paint is like black coral, rare and found in Australia's Great Barrier Reef. When it's polished and in the sunshine, you can see the flecks of gold in the black.

Timber was my first thought when I started. Beautiful mate, well done. Wish I had just a little of your skills, this bike is epic
