Found your video looking for ideas for my Aquila 125 s, as you well said it’s difficult to find what you built how you wanted, all I can say is well done and thanks for your detailed two videos about it!
Good work Sir! Not sure if its been said, but if you drill a vent holes where ever the next tube welds onto the main hoop you will only have one exposed vent at the end of the project and make that one vent hole at the lowest point to prevent water from pooling in the tubing and promoting future rust. just a few tips not saying your way doesn't work.
Hey there! Well 6061 aluminum for example would be just fine for that. The main downside to this is, that you need an AC TIG-welder for that - which i don't have, so for me this wasn't an option. I'm also assuming that the aluminum would be more expensive...
@@buildfromsketch8102 sorry i assumed your tig was ac/dc tig. I do weld ally more than any material. I was just looking at stainless steel but thats expensive.
I love how you make and take your motorcycle to an adventure, showing the world you don't need an ass-expensive BMW GS1200 to have fun. Keep it up!
Nice work. Gives me ideas for mine. Great video.
Absolutely brilliant..
Very well executed..
Also great to see you touring on 125.
Well done on all counts.
Thank you so much! :)
Great Job! Congratulations!! Saludos desde Mexico

Thanks again! 🙂
awesome work looks great! :)
Thank you!
Thank you for your work. I'm wondering if you could carry a passenger with the paniers in place?
You're welcome! No, not on this small bike. But on bigger bikes you will be able to carry a passenger :)
I see your hi tech seat cover held up in the rain, lol

That's a good suggestion! Thanks for the comment! :)
I'm about to fabricate pannier racks myself did you think about making it from aluminium or is it not suitable.

@@rolandsmith2141 Oh no problem! In this case go ahead with aluminum, sounds great!
Yes, buying stainless steel is crazy expensive...
