The music in your videos is the absolute cherry on the cake, man!

Just finding this series/channel 2 years later, I absolutely love the build and appreciate how much work and time went into not only making the build but also filming it! If I keep watching the series you're gonna be the reason why I start a cafe project 🤣 keep up the amazing work!!

New front end looks wonderful. So much planning and work you're putting into this. Again, I draw my hat you're tackling this so bravely. Great to have friends like yours who can make perfect parts for you. Keep it up!

Keeping the video real...nice, front end is coming along nicely 👍

Thanks for posting this, I’ve been wondering what it would be like to do this.

While you were tapping, the music sounded like the bridge to Hillsong’s The Stand. 👈🏾

This build is inspiring me Dude I been in da garage all week back on the spanner’s thanks jish you da man 😎🤙🏻

Thats what I like to hear!

so much nicer to have access to a cnc and/or milling machine to make spacers ect. I had to make the brass bushings fo the girder front end on my triumph with a drill press, file and sand paper, definatly takes a little longer. looking good there, keep up the awesome work and the videos to, they are appreciated.

Already enjoying the build. Loving the custom cnc washers. I really do look forward to these videos. Great stuff jish.

Congratulations, great job and well thought out. I'm lucky enough to have access to milling machines and the like. I should really have a bike build going myself. 👍

this bike is going to be awesome! love your filming style as well keep it up.

That looks so clean! Will you be making a video about wiring? Stock harnesses are great, but I'd love to see how you might handle custom wiring on the xj. I would also love to see how you would handle switching to alternate air filters rather than using the stock air box. Your videos are so helpful, especially when I'm working on the same bike. Thank you!

Hi mate any chance u could tell me here u got the bolt and wash from mate

Great video jish, I'd probably of put a small spacer inside the top yoke tho which the bolt would go through just to take up any play that might happen, if your going like fast on the road and have to break hard suddenly or hit a bump or two

That is 1 professionally made washer Love the frount end. some kick-ass B Roll and editing too, do you use imovie Final cut or Prem pro when you do your editing? I Tried Final cut and the learning curve was slowing me down so much so I went back to imovie until I get over its limitations

Why did you cut the steering stops off the bottom yoke ?? Would it of been better to make the steel steering notch narrower ??? What you going to do now ?? Drill and thread new stops in the bottom yoke ??? I hope you never get a tank slapper !!!

Ill be totally honest and most of it was looking at stem / bearing sizes to find ones as close to the original as possible! Then the rest is a gamble when it arrives and you work it out from there. I have done this with both builds :)

That cinematic thread tapping was smooth af! Why the fork mounted bars tho? Just for the extra lowering? Also, thought we'd see the sleeve tattoo in the making 😂 it looks dope man

Don't you think the background music is bit too soft?

You need a spacer that sits inside the open space under that bolt. There really should be no open space inside of there at all.

Good video. But why are you not cleaning the rust and dirt.

Nothing dangerous about cutting out that upper triple. You're shaving mils off for a clean fit.

It would have been safer to cut steering stem in haft an tap both side cut head off bolt thread it in get the length you need then drill an pin the to shafts .theres alot of pressure on the top three hate to see that front end snap off .not being a hater just another idea for future projects

you should be ashamed of yourself. the time, skill ,effort and machine work your friend put into make the spacers and making it all fit. then you put a big honking standard iron work type bolt with the head sticking up. you could have at least used a nice flat rounded truss allen bolt.
