  • In this video I show you the construction of a motorcycle frame, the original was so badly damaged that this had to be completely rebuilt.
    Also in this video I use mainly standard tools that should be found in most metal workshops.
    The frame is built from chromo steel ( 25CrMo4 )
    This is not a complete motorcycle project, but I show you the interesting fabrication steps.
    Have fun watching.

    • @KRTframework

      Talking about legends, I was lucky enough to have a frame almost identical made by a New Zealander called John Apple ( I think) back in the early eighties with a Kawa Z 900 spirit engine from Croz's qualifying at Susuka, a wicked bike. I became friends with Steve Harris in the UK and got to taste some of the best rigs welded together so far and lushed out on Bimota's when money was flush...I hope this add weight to your comment because I agree.
