Minibike BUILD Ep.2 - Frame Fabrication
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Fat tire minibike build from scratch. In this video: minibike tube frame bending and fabrication. This TB-1000 tube bender has proven itself as a great helper. Before having this I was constricted to using already existing bent tubes but now I have a complete creative freedom when it comes to tube frame fabrication. With this minibike tube frame I've gotten some practice in and feel quite comfortable with bending tubes. This series will follow. I hope you enjoy!

22x11-8" ATV trailer wheels. Don't recall the brand at the moment.
I'm just a paralyzed guy from Southwest Arkansas in the town of 1300 people and let me tell you how awesome it would be if you did a build on a off-road wheelchair. That would be so awesome! And I feel like it would get you a lot of views
Engineer + Mechanic + Machinist + Welder + Creator + Videographer Such a talented personality! Best luck !

Wow wow wow. Perfect editing and perfect welding 😊

Dude you can build anything. Excellent workmanship. ❤
It’s coming along nicely Donn! Fantastic skills 😊 There’s something really fun about mini bikes, they have a way of bringing you back to being a kid, the simplicity of an engine and two wheels 😊👍

Cheers, Mike! I've watched your video where you and your brother buy and ride minibikes several times now. I hope to do the same with my brother but on homemade minibikes. I'm planning to build three of these fat tire bikes (two of them off the air) so our father can also join us.😄 We're all small kids in our hearts.

Superb pipework. Right tackle, right skills, right vision. Awesomeness.
Nice to see welds and bending done correctly and with precision, excellent work i ready enjoyed the video
Way cool, Donn. One of your best . . . Mr Chop✓ Tube bender✓ CRC cutter✓ and that rounding bit✓ . . . way, way cool.
Mista CHOP is back! Great video as usual.
Your fabrication skills are off the chart.
You always have something interesting on the bench. Thanks for keeping us entertained! Love to see a follow-up video of your past projects and how they are holding up. That ATV build is definitely one for the highlight reel!
It's always great seeing another DonnDIY video. I've been waiting. 😎

What an interesting project you started, now I will look forward to the continuation of the construction of a cool swamp motorcycle.
That bender sounds like I do when I wake up. Anyway, very nicely thought out and the use of your simple jig has made your assembly work come out awesome! Excellent craftsmanship as usual Donn and I look forward to seeing this project completed and ripping around the yard!!!

Looking good great build 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great job so far , you never fail to amaze me with your skill and ingenuity. I particularly love the use of the mill to create the "birds mouth" on the tubes with the correct angle , orientation and distance relative to each other 👏👍. Bravo , keep up the good work.
@DonnDIY

Using a mill is a bit of an overkill though. A simple notcher would do the job.👍
This is awesome project...you are very talented....keep up the great projects
Man that's impressive! I watch all your videos and me and my dad we're laughing talking about how lost we would be would be trying to do all that fabrication and the damn wiring. Hats off for you and your patience LOL
I just saw you on Quantum Tech...nice.
Wow, Donn. What an impressive build. I would have never guessed that the steel frame was actually a very intricate fixture jig. Great video, and keep up the great work
Better be only one, cus you can't compete with Chyna. lol Your so creative that i see 2mil subs by next year...Brilliant.
Looking badass!
Fantastica la forma que esta tomando el proyecto . 💪👍
good work
major workshop envy, that man cave is stacked out with all the awesome tools! If anyone needs lazer cut wheel hubs, engine mount plates and general weld on tabs etc we got a load produced that could make your fat bike build more acheivable if you don't have access to lazer cutters and mills etc.
Looks really great, very nice build so far..thanks for the upload

@8:40 I think that’s the step many people forget when they’re trying to bend parallel bends. I’ve seen many put the angle finder on the pipe but not confirm the level of the bender. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You can mass produce them for friends and family with that jig.. very cool!
You make it look easy :D
Looking good bud

I love learning from your videos, your projekts are super presice. Maybe you would build a full sized terrain bike?
Neat and chubby little feller! That one will be superb as a light "assrelocater" around the farm😂😂

This is an urge I resist on this channel. Would be just the excuse I need to buy more tools..
This is one awesome build. Like your attention to detail is amazing. I'm just wandering why you didn't add any suspension, like a rear swingarm? As a kid I've ridden the fat tire bikes. They'll go about anywhere , but really bouncy. Back then it didn't bother me , but now older , and several back surgeries it would be Ruff , Ruff. But given a chance to have this bike I sure wouldn't complain. I grew up around a small engine shop. Dad also had a fab shop. I , a long with neighborhood kids built "deathtrap" bikes from scrap. At that time none of us had the skill level you have. What we put together, we would work on for a couple days to ride until something broke , and then weld more crap on to it. Finally, they looked like Mad Max vehicles 😂. But it kept us from listening to jazz music , and turning into Riff Raff 😁😂😆🤣

I've always wondered about tires only no suspension type minibikes, now I'm trying one out myself. After building it.👍
I think that you should put that into production. You have a money maker there.
Awesome

Cheers! Let's hope it'll be functional as well. I want to use it at the homestead for hauling my butt around from point A to B so I don't have to start up any other bigger vehicle. I will probably be disappointed in the 6.5-7HP petrol engine though...🤔
The tyres become the suspension 👍
Perfekt!😍🤗
Dude took a bunch of pipe. Bent it like a bunch of noodles. And made a bike. METAL ARTIST.
It looks like it will go anywhere at any time.
V8 minibike, leeeeeeeesssssss gooooooooooooo!!!!💪💪💪💪💪💪
so f... cool!!!!!!!!
Nice build 👍 I have dreamed something similar. Same tires 125cc atv engine 3+R semiautomatic gearbox. Long gargo basket in the rear and option for track and ski for winter.
It's starting to look like a bike!
It'll be interesting to see how you address the gas tank fill cap issue. Unless you just let it go like it is. However, it looked from the video like it would be a pain to fill with gas.

No worries there's plenty of room to fill it using a proper nozzle.👍
During the bandsaw build [approx 5yrs ago] is when I first thought "Donn isn't your average DIYer." Fact is, he's of the same caliber or exceeds many who do this for a living. You've come a *loong way* in 5yrs-looking forward to the next 5. *Question:* it's clear the engine is set to the left [24:42]-is this to facilitate a ''jack shaft?'' God bless.

Nice head-tube jig design. You set it up with it resting against the frame jig so you could just drop it down and everything would be in place when you were done with it. It was not obvious what you were doing when you started.
Need to swap the steerer bearings to tapper roller bearing
