So glad I am going back to watch the build of this bike. It showed up in one of your newer videos so I wanted to see the process. I keep thinking nah...that isn't gonna look right...then it does. This bike is sick in all the best ways m8!

Thanks so much! I always try to get people to watch the videos of actually making the bikes as I show the thought process and challenges. Glad you have been enjoying them!

Hey, I have just started to like your silver PolyPro garage door 🤣😂 Just kidding, the poster will be cool! Nice build - as usual 👍😊

Honestly, I would like you to talk even more in your videos,, not only about your thought process. I would love to hear what you know about the bikes you are working on, like history of the bike, common issues, what can fail, what was failing in it's production history, major issues in its history, basically everything you might know ;). But I would not tell you how to make your content :) and I still enjoy watching your videos as they are. So keep up grate work.

Well I appreciate you wanting to hear what I have to say. Maybe I could try to always have some type of "fun fact" or tech tidbit included. Ill give that some thought so thank you

Wondered what kind of music you “really” listened to in the background.🤣 Don’t know if you’ve heard of Charles Bradley…”The Screaming Eagle of Soul”, but he’s good to listen to while tinkering on the bike. Also any TOOL when using tools.👍🏻 It’s looking good as always!

First thing first, great videos! I was wondering if you could use 2 Antigravity 4cell in parallel instead of an 8 cell. I know the cost will rise quite a bit but I feel they could be easier to hide. On a related note, would a 4 cell be enough to start a mid size bike? Do you use any type of BMS with the ION batteries?

@BrickHouseBuilds

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Matteo! You technically could but it would present more challenges than it is likely worth. The ag801 is not bad to hide. The 4 cell is small for a cx500. It will crank it over but not for long. I will soon have a lithium ferro phosphate battery with built in BMS that is of equal size to the 801 but much safer, lighter, and less expensive

How do you decide to go with pods over an airbox? I know aesthetics make pods the obvious choice but is there anything you tend to weigh in your head when deciding between the two?

@BrickHouseBuilds

2 жыл бұрын

When doing a custom bike so much gets relocated in the name of changing or upgraded components. It is mostly cosmetic preferences but a lot of times things will go where the airbox use to reside. In this instance the customer wants an "open triangle" which means you can see through the side of the bike. Can't do that with an airbox.

Would you need to put a drain hole in the tray just in case water was to get in there?

Im so busy with everything even I havent installed the older Morty lol. Don't worry if you have a past system they are still awesome! The X21 is just the next generation with improvements made throughout but functionality wise you are still in great hands.

I just started watch and that little box will control all wiring?

@BrickHouseBuilds

Yes it does! The X21 controls your headlight, signals, horn, brake/run, starter solenoid, ignition power. Your ignition timing control is still separate but this takes care of everything else

How's your luck been with those antigravity batteries? I am getting an earthx lifepo4 today to put in my machine and supposedly, no electrical system shenanigans just a lighter more reliable battery?

I've had mixed success. I've had two melt down but it was my fault. I've had a customer kill another because they let it discharge too much from which they can't recover. I sell my own LiFe 4l batteries now with their own management system for ease of use
