In before "But the mudghads!?" 😉 Seriously though I hope everyone enjoys these build videos. If there is one takeaway with these things it's that they don't need to be viewed as "bike specific" as the ideas can be used on anything. I often get comments asking for specific videos on specific bikes where the information is already covered in other videos I have made. Just know this information applies to nearly any bike. Happy building!

I'm always in awe of your fabricating skills BJ!

I love Rust Oleum, the primer, a big can of that, slathered on with a brush. Then some color, usually flat black or sometimes high gloss black. (and then a pint of the primer in a quart of waist oil and a quart of diesel fuel with maybe some minwax stain amazing for the outside wood finish project. The Rust Oleum primer holds it all together. No bugs on the fence. ever.). And so.... Oh yea. No rust for me. Just saying. Your student, always, Steve from New Hampshire.

Floods ! Underwater biking. 🤣🤣🤣. Nice tidy job. A cover over the battery terminals might be necessary , though I guess you have thought of that already .

Nicely done! Learning the of hand is critical. Takes time, but being able to do most processes proficiently (wrenching, welding, cutting ect) both paws will allow you to change it up enough to last thru a working life. I switched most tasks to my left about 40, I'm 60 now and have both hands good most times. Also injury will force this on most who wrench and fab. Airplanes for the $ and bikes/cars for fun! I do Enjoy the build videos!!

For small parts I use a very small drill vice to hold the parts. I drilled and tapped the body of the vice and threaded a stud into it for my work lead clamp. I also machine inserts for an almost press fit so one side does not lift up when tacking the opposite side. No tig finger hold down needed. Cool project

As a former California resident, I'm not too worried about people stealing my motorcycle batteries anymore (Not that it ever happened, apparently they liked heavy boat tanks more). Lol

Nice work BJ your welds are mint buddy I’ve watched you weld quite a lot now and to have self taught yourself is amazing,laughed when you touched the rod and gave that look ,lol it said it all hahaha doing a cracking job mate take care and all the best to you 🔧🔧🔧👍👌🏍️🏍️🏁🏁❤️

A TIG is definitely nice to have for the detail stuff. This could be made with a MIG for sure but cleanup would take longer. Glad you enjoyed though!

Hi, you obviously don't share Colin Chapman's philosophy: "Simplify, then add lightness”. This battery box is anything but lighter than the original.

I do actually and have a Porsche build underway with that line of thought as the main focus. This bike is not along that line of thought. The goals are different with more a visual goal rather than being the lightest or best performing. Thanks for watching
