Building my first motorcycle frame.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2021
- This is a summary of how I built a frame for my Ducati Cafe Racer! It includes parts of an old video and a lot of new stuff. It’s a brief summary of the work on the frame, but not including all the mounts needed for the electrical parts, and other stuff like tank and oil-cooler. It’s a lot of work, but the rest is even worse.... I’m now buried in electrical issues, and hopefully I’ll solve it all and make more videos in a while. Hope you enjoy this one.

I must admit, I’ve never seen a guy build a motorcycle in a closet. That’s impressive on its own!
thanx :)
This was a joy to watch.
thanx 🙏
Great video! You are very skillful!
Thanks so much for posting this!
Glad U enjoy it :)
Nice to see someone with less space than me do great work - time to get back to my build!
thanx. Space is no excuse 😀

thank you very much. I guess my best skill is that I am patiently impatient - if that makes any sense 😂
Looking good, very interesting to see this process
Me too :)
Fantastic work in such small workshop !
Thanx 🙏
Amazing work!
thanx :)
Brilliant my good man! great work
Thank U very much 🙏
you are so knowledgeable, enjoy your video very much, keep up man
Thanx a lot man. Learning by doing... :)
Amazing work!! I’ve just started my own first build and this helps a ton!
Glad to hear.
Hi, I really enjoyed your video especially as I have a Norton Dominator and recognised the carbon fibre seat.
You can see my bike on my photo. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your build.
Kind regards Paul 🇬🇧
Thanx, and the Dominator is a VERY nice bike!
AWESOME! Really impressive project! Subscribed
Thanx :)
Beautiful!
Thanx
Amazing work! You are the boss!
I also started in a workshop in dimensions 2x3,2m :)
Well done. I had 3 bikes in there at a time, while working there... 😬
Fantastisk inspirerende ! 👍🏻 Truly inspired!
Takk for det :)
You can allow yourself to be...proud of yourself !
thank you verd Munch 🙏
Good work mate, viewing from Australia 🇦🇺
thanx 🙏
waou!!! I am really impressed! So good job!
Really impressive!
Thank you very much :) I’m now buried in electrical issues on this project. But time is my friend and I guess it will work in the end.

Maybe because you have welded whith the generator on the engine.
As you have electricwelded (tig) with the generator left on the engine, maybe this one does not work now.
If you weld with the electric wire (i do dot kwow the exact word) on the bike/frame you ca also have electrical problem after.
It is two way of solutions i think.
great stuff , doing the same here in Japan , glad to see someone with a smaller shed than me ! if you can do it , there is no excuses !
Absolutely. Everything is possible - given enough time (and some money...?)
Very nice work
Thank U very much :)
From zero to 0.9 then to 5, this is inspiring. Whole process looks painful and maybe depressing for you if you lack experience, but you must have started to like it, I'm sure.
thanx. I was a little depressed at times, when I was struggling with something difficult. But very rewarding when I figure it out and get it right…
I was thinking that the frame was the hard part, but now I see that there is even more work with all the rest, and even more to learn, that Ive never done before…
Belo trabalho. O quadro ficou muito legal e deixou a bike com o visual clássico de corrida, que a gente curte 👏👏👏
Thank you very much.
Well done, this is inspiring work mate. New subscriber 🇦🇺👍🏻
Thank U very much :)
woow.. amazing.. I also made my own like you made & we always provide very neat & detailed handmade results for our customers. bring the work to life very well for us to present to custom motorcycle connoisseurs
Nice work 👏
@@DeSpiteMeccanica thanks my brother..
good job! I like it because I'm the same designer as you!
Thanx
Wow.. great job man.. really love the way u design this frame💥🦾
And this how u earned my sub🔥😲
Thanx! Cant wait to try it....
Good moooooning Mugello!
You noticed 👏
Sei un pazzo con una passione infinita per le moto e si vede,ti faccio tanti auguri per il futuro,saprai certamente sorprenderci di nuovo!
😂 👏 Thank you very much !
Nice job man …….
Thank U :)
Brilliant workmanship, Well done. Tip: Cover bare arms and legs when TIG welding. High amount of UV rays are given off.
Thanx. Will do
Imagine how difficult motogp engineer making his chassis.
yes, I know! When they make small adjustments to enhance performance on those brutal engines!
Nice music
🤗
Well done, thanks for posting. May I ask what material tubes are and the wall thickness of tubes please.
Thanx :) The frame is made of seamless steel tubes. 32/3mm 25/2 and a little 20/2. As this is my first frame, and its all my own design, I went for quality and strength before weight.
I love your build! What software did you use on the iPad to design the parts?
thanx. I use Shapr3D. its easy to learn and very good.
Nice project! what program do u use for design the triple tree ?
I use Shapr3D. on my iPad with an apple pen. very good.
Well done. How big is your shop
It was 1,8m x 2,2m… But now I’m almost done building a new and better one… But I managed to do quite a lot in the old one :)
made me smile ! sometimes life is more erotic than you think - motorcycles.
😂
Beautiful its all tig welding and what software for design 360??
thanx. I use Shapr3D to design parts in 3D
Wonderful work. What do you think it will weigh when done? Do you have a target weight?
No real target. The whole point of this is to make a good design, with strength and hopefully good driving capabilities. As this is my first frame ever, strength is more important than weight. But it will be lighter than the original frame. The original was 17 kg! I’m guessing this will be 10 kg or maybe a little more.
@@DeSpiteMeccanica Very nice work in any event, looking forward to seeing it finished.
Complimenti, un telaio veramente ben riuscito.
Thank you. I think it looks good. And I hope it works fine as well.
Hi, nice job.Just to ask you sometning please, what is the thickness in mm of this tube you use in tube bender, i am trying to make frame also but my tubes are 2mm thickness and crumpling my tubes, maybe needs 4mm?Thanks
Hi. My main tubes are 3 mm thick (the 32mm tubes). And its a pretty good pipe-bender I got to use (I think)…
@@DeSpiteMeccanica thanks for the info and please dont stop your professional jobs.Well done and superb bike.
Did you make the triple trees out of aluminum?
yes.
what kind tube did you use And what size?
I used seamless steel tubes. 30/3 mm and 25/2 mm.
have you used 25crmo4 pipes?
No. sorry for the delay. Life got in my way… It’s seamless hydraulic steel pipes.
Can you share details on material and angles?
Absolutely. It’s all seamless hydraulic pipes of steel. 32/3mm 25/2mm and 20/2mm. This is quality and strength over weight. As this is my first ever frame, and I want to get it approved for registration, that’s my choice. But it’s still some kg lighter than the original… Dimensions are pretty much a copy of a Ducati 1098. Wheelbase, steering head angle, rake, and positioning of foot pegs are as on a Ducati 1098. You’ll find this online. If not, let me know :)
what steel did you use
Seamless hydraulic pipes. 32/3mm and 25/2mm. And some 20/2mm. Strength over weight on this one :)
What is the single rear sidearm?
the swing arm is from a ducati 1098
what soft you are using to create this bike?
Du you mean on the iPad when I design in 3D?
@@DeSpiteMeccanica on ipad or on PC?
What is the size of GI pipe
what is GI pipe? The main pipes in the frame are 32/3mm
Sir please make full vedio chopper gas tank
I will try to do that :)
How can u teach me to do it too
Watch the video and just try :)

It's a very nice build and it looks very very good, but couldn't you find anything easier to learn to weld on, thats not going to kill you if it fails in any way at all!! Just a thought.
You destroyed a perfectly good frame then ruined perfectly good tubing with excellent tension and good compression properties by bending it. If this is kinetic art then fill your boots but as a light stiff structure it is poor.
That’s noted. But the only way to move foreword is by trying (and failing). And as this is my frist ever project with metal, I feel that it’s a good way to learn and evolve. No matter how the result ends up, I will enjoy the process and the result.
@@DeSpiteMeccanica For a first project in metal hats off. Just please don't destroy any more frames, steering heads and pivot/mounting points are simple to make and are lighter than standard.
Too heavy .
it’s a start. maybe the next one will be lighter... :)
@@DeSpiteMeccanica I mean the concept. The idea of cafe racer arose from the need for motorcycles as fast as possible, so as easy as possible, by giving up certain parts and lightening others - such as side covers and cutting mudguards ... and shape is important but in 2nd place .
With the legal side, how is it in Norway? In our country, you are not even allowed to touch the frame, but to make another one ... it's really SF.
Which metal pipes did you use
Hi. Sorry for the late answer. It’s steel pipes, 3/32mm, 2/25mm and 2/20mm. It’s all seamless hydraulic pipes. As this is my first build, I go with strength, not saving weight.
