Building a motorcycle frame | Part. 1

In this video I show you the construction of a motorcycle frame, the original was so badly damaged that this had to be completely rebuilt.
Also in this video I use mainly standard tools that should be found in most metal workshops.
The frame is built from chromo steel ( 25CrMo4 )
This is not a complete motorcycle project, but I show you the interesting fabrication steps.
Have fun watching.

No crappy music, No annoying banter, just absolute artistry

[@kevinlewis9151]

Ok you've taken what used to be simple cut and weld to fit and turned it into precision craftsmanship. Im not sure its a good thing, but your definitely an artist.

[@kingjamezo4583]

Sorry I just cannot find any possible way to praise the work like this. So I simply liked and left a meaningless comment here to show my respect.

[@santaagua]

Exactly!

[@KRTframework]

Thanks

[@mattblack156]

The square tube collet is so simple yet so effective, I am in awe of your craftsmanship!

[@tomconner5067]

Having that spindle n chuck on the indexing table makes it popular as a go to! Nice workmanship with the tube notching, makes a big difference in the build quality. This man is a patient and thorough skilled tradesman.

[@T0tenkampf]

this design is absolutely beautiful, your compound angle tube notching skills are unparalleled!

[@chrisgenovese8188]

Aerospace level precision. It was so satisfying to see the way the pieces fit together.

Shear precision, craftsmanship at it’s finest. Thanks.

Never get tired of watching the videos, your craftmenship and engineering sense, never cease to amaze me.

There's artistry, and then there's this guy. TIG welding: the gentleman's approach to welding....

[@2kanchoo]

Just look at the welds on the jig even... I was laughing to myself because I was thinking this fits that stereotype of German engineering precision then looked up the channel information. Well surprise surprise. haha. You do beautiful work. It's always a joy being able to watch a true craftsman.

this type of motorcycle frame its 1980, looking EGLI,MOKO,RAU,i drive this bike many years and its beautiful,greatings from a swissbiker

[@KRTframework]

Thank you, yes the frame is built after Egli model, because I have a destroyed frame here. Greetings from Germany

[@alainmare8081]

An excellent specialist for a top quality work. Not sure however than a similar frame in carbon fiber would cost more with a good gain in weight and rigidity.

[@robertos4172]

Lovely work. Do you make a new frame fixture for each frame you build? I notice this one has a fixed headstock angle...

unfortunately i didn't have a cutter with the right diameter, but if need be i can use a flycutter, not so nice, but it works

Awesome You Sir are a Legend.

[@KT-ur7pi]

Talking about legends, I was lucky enough to have a frame almost identical made by a New Zealander called John Apple ( I think) back in the early eighties with a Kawa Z 900 spirit engine from Croz's qualifying at Susuka, a wicked bike. I became friends with Steve Harris in the UK and got to taste some of the best rigs welded together so far and lushed out on Bimota's when money was flush...I hope this add weight to your comment because I agree.

[@KRTframework]

I have only rebuilt a legendary frame, the frame is an Egli replica, but I appreciate your words, but I still plan to build my own frame with a Ducati engine

[@DESILVA3229]

[@simonbertioli4696]

I hope the final result, shines...as the preparation has...👍👍

[@vanDeudekom]

Whoooowwww, Deep respect.

[@bakterius3941]

Was ich absolut klasse finde, ist die Tatsache, dass Deine Rahmenlehre handwerklich um Längen besser ist, als das, was manch Andere als fertige Arbeit abgeben...👍 Der Sinn ist klar, schlecht positioniert bedeutet beschissen geschweisst. Aber selbst da sitzt jede Naht wie gemalt. Respekt!

[@KRTframework]

Gerade bei sowas finde ich, kann man üben um sich stetig zu verbessern, Klar könnte man die Rahmenlehre auch mit MAG schweißen, aber das macht mir zum einen in der Werkstatt zuviel Dreck, und ich bekomme so wieder etwas mehr Übung beim WIG Schweißen dickerer Sachen.

[@clutchandthrottle]

Sir, hat's off to your skills 🎩🙅‍♂️

[@jasonsapp792]

Not only the skill to do such work but the tools....man you must be very proud of your shop. I feel the machines you have to do this type of work are just as impressive...your knowledge to use them to execute your designs....outstanding
