Building A Rotating Motorcycle Chassis Jig - Free Plans Available

[@JamesBiggar]

I made my jig a bit shorter than it should have been and can only build chassis' for bikes with up to a 55" wheelbase, but I can splice some tubing in later if/when the need calls for it. I added another 12" to the plans so that anyone using them for reference won't have the same problem.

GOOOOD JOOOB DUUUDE))!!!

[@boltmann]

Thanks a lot!

[@JamesBiggar]

Np!

[@boltmann]

I remember your older videos have no voice over. It's better to listen than to read text that might not last long enough.

[@G58]

Neat. This answers my question. Am interested to know how you managed to guarantee that the head tube angle was perfectly inline with the axis. Seems to me that is a precision part that’s crucial to the accuracy of the final steering alignment. I would prefer the |_| shaped part to be made from bright square internal U section material, with the side pivot holes precision drilled. Thank you for sharing.

[@anilakman]

All these knowledge, experience and sharing.. Priceless ! I'll keep you supporting as much as I can 🙏

[@chrisdoucs]

I love such works that look like newly bought.

[@theecstatic9686]

True duder making the plans available...

[@JustAnotherNewProject]

While I greatly enjoy your attention to details and drive to build your own projects and tools. My 5 year old daughter LOVES your videos because they have a similar theme to many of the videos she watches with the high tactile clicks and other noises where they build Lego and those little magnetic colored blocks Keep it up, looking great

[@proaudiorestore8926]

Your welding really clean now James! Looking great

[@JamesBiggar]

Almost ready to try aluminum :)

[@guywihn1658]

Thank you for this video and the plans, much appreciated!

[@budipriyatno5853]

Very good works..and thanks for sharing plans

[@sv4792]

Nice build, I'd like to repeat it) if I have enough time for it and patience

[@CncObsession]

What is better than watching a craftsman exhibit their art? Thanks for sharing the process and plans for those so inclined. I myself cant wait to see the next project. Was enjoying the electric build too. How about a build using electric golf cart rear end and a lithium battery. Maybe a little longer wheelbase, lower seating, better suspension, disc brakes etc. The parts availability is phenomenal for conversions. Great for neighborhood cruising? Just a hint ;-)

[@JamesBiggar]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Who knows what's going to happen after the bike builds :)

[@cleilson6316]

Muito bom. Saudações do Brasil.

[@beready1060]

Great work 👌 I get lots to learn from you 😇

[@campride6800]

Matur suwun, idene apik. 👍👍👍👍

[@williamlanphar630]

Nice jig !

[@JamesBiggar]

Thanks!

[@nazoe83]

✋ *Hi, friend..* *I have a thought like this, you are in the field of electric propulsion automotive. how can you use the dynamo rotation on the wheel/axle to be used as a means of generating electricity for charging to the backup battery (( you need 2 units of battrey to be used alternately with the automatic disconnect system/fuse, when the main battery runs out immediately move to the backup battery) & the main thing is that it is automatically re-charged )) and continues like that until it becomes an eternal electric-powered vehicle. you don't have to stop for a long time recharging public facilities battrey.* 🙏 _Greetings from INDONESIA_

[@SC.243k]

Great work

[@JamesBiggar]

Thanks!

[@GEOsustainable]

Awesome build as always. Simple and elegant. I think I want to make a jig for my electric airplane build. Do you think using Teflon or Brass bushing on the wheels would increase the load rating?

[@JamesBiggar]

Thanks! For sure!

[@maris22435]

Great job!

[@JamesBiggar]

Thanks!

[@AmateurInventor]

Wonderful

[@badwheelies]

Do you have plans available for the metal brake you use at 8:44?

[@uibsen]

Great project !!!

[@Immow]

Nice welds :)

[@JamesBiggar]

Thanks! They've come a long way in the last couple of years. Not nearly as embarrassing now lol

[@wanzn471]

make micro mini bike , with those jig please 😂

[@auziadz]

Tu peut m aider pour les mesure d un cadre moto touristique

[@Maxttor]

Good idea, what is the maximum weight it suports?

[@JamesBiggar]

Thanks. Literally mentioned at the beginning of the video. A 6ft length of that tubing is over 5x stronger than the entire weight of a typical motorcycle. But this is a chassis building jig, NOT a motorcycle stand or lift (which are far less robust) for supporting an entire motorcycle. These are different things. An entire motorcycle obviously won't fit. Part of the reason the spindle is offset is for balance, I'm turning it with two fingers. Easy. But that's just a convenience. It doesn't need to be balanced let alone perfectly balanced. Motorcycle frames only weigh 20-30 lbs unless we're talking big cruisers which are still only around 50-80 lbs. My portable jobsite table saw weighs more than that. It's enough to pinch a finger, but not near enough to kill someone. This jig is child's play.

[@JamesBiggar]

Sensitive much? I'm just clarifying. Grow up or you can back off. This is my channel bud.

[@JamesBiggar]

As I mentioned in the video, this jig is very similar to every other rotating jig, commercial or not. Check out chop source - they make the kits that I also mentioned. Very popular among pro builders. But what does anyone else know? You chimed in with perfectly logical armchair assumptions without even watching or consulting a load table.

[@JamesBiggar]

Right. And neither I nor Mauricio were talking to you. Yet here you are, getting upset and responding to me for answering Mauricio's question and correcting your assumptions so that he and others know better. I'm not sorry that upsets you. This isn't about you. You're just making it about you because you're upset.

[@JamesBiggar]

🤣 Sure. That's exactly what happened. Whatever makes you feel better.

[@JustAnotherAsianGuy2]

i like it

[@harwoods11]

I have welding gloves just like yours 😂

[@JamesBiggar]

LOL

[@haiqaliskandar7056]

Build a electric supercar?

[@auziadz]

Les mesure svp
