Game Changing UTE setup BUILD

Second episode for my Ultimate moto setup build. I've always wanted to build a moto setup for the back of a tray with 2 bikes and useable space underneath, it also happens to resemble a cybertruck. In this episode we design and build the canopy, slide mechanism, locks, winch mounts as well as testing everything out. I do this using CAD, FEA, a CNC plasma cutter, a CNC laser cut, a CNC press-brake, MIG and TIG as well as a mix of powertools and handtools!

“I completed a stress analysis on the frame” is a very rare sentance in the 4b backyard fab world 😂. Very impressed mate.

[@scuffedthings530]

Those 35 min would have been a 15 episode series on any other youtube channel 😅😂 Btw you might want to look into the bottom plate of the front wheel carriage again, currently the bottom of the wheel is just held in place by friction. Adding some horizontal slots into the plate or making a larger cutout for part of the tire to fit in might prevent it from slipping out of it, especially if its wet and the tire muddy :)

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Thanks mate, good idea - I like it.

[@andrewhead997]

Love to constant use on the hammer for comedic relief

[@haphazard1342]

I'll tag on another bit of advice for your latches, since they are to be the primary retaining mechanism. You should add a small tab/edge on the sliding carriage's striker plate, so that it captures the flap on the latch. This way, you pull the carriage past the lock, and then back it off. The flap rests against the current back edge of the striker and is retained by the tab/lip so that it cannot come undone unless you lift the entire carriage again. This mechanism will be very simple to add to the existing, and it will provide a level of security against bumps, jostling, damage to the retaining spring, and accidental misuse. Of course you may find that, if you have made the lock and striker out of mild steel, that they self-form this feature! Very cool build, super excited to see the next episode.

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it.

[@MM..FixinBuildinFarmin]

Mate, you have created something I’ve been dreaming up for years! This will surely inspire more of the moto community to have practical and more usable tray set ups. Love what you do Richard 🤙

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Thanks mate!!!

A master at work! 💪

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Thanks Uncle Pooly! Legend.

[@robertgeddes511]

Have you thought of using some over center clamps on the foot pegs . To clamp down on to a location fixture. When I have made triangle shap door I laser cut a slot on the bend line 30mm in from the edge to the point the brake press tooling can't reach. And weld up after it bent.

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Cheers Robert, good idea!

[@bannablitz247]

Hey Richard! Not sure if this is of concern to you, but your bearing nylon lock nuts for the roller bearings seem to barely engage. I believe I was told it's a standard in aerospace to have 1 thread exposed on all nylon lock nuts. Just food for thought! Build looks great! Also, most industrial mechanisms that hold any weight rely on the lock and NEVER on the cable or winch rope. Take commercial portable spot light stands they crank up and then are lowered onto the locks.

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Hey mate, yep agree 100%. These were off shelf one and I just wanted to test if they work! I can order some custom length threaded ones for some more cost $$$! Agree re winch rope, I will drive around resting on the locks! Cheers ☺

[@treverpowell4319]

My work requires 2 threads exposed minimum on all hardware and nylon nuts are a one time use real pain when you have to torque a castle nut and it doesn’t line up for the pin

When you're laser cutting anyway hex nutserts are a nice option for improved torque out resistance, might save you welding on some nuts. In Aus check out Huck Aerobolt, they do low quantity orders in zinc and stainless.

Hi Richard, have a look at "pitbull trs system" it might be a mounting bracket you could redesign for a dirt bike. Back wheel axle instead of foot pegs. Easier to reach, load and lock for one person.

[@samcook2775]

You should explore using a through bolt to go into the foot pegs, look up Ultimate MX Hauler as an example. Rather than clamping, it would essentially bolt it to your canopy and make it more universal

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Cheers Sam, looks like a good product!

[@tritonjackmam5.681]

COOL BUILD 👍 ONE QUESTION DOES IT HAVE TO PASS ADR ?? AND HOW WILL IT GO IF 🤷‍♂️ YOU GET PULLED OVER AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE TO BE STRAPPED DOWN?? BECAUSE IT LAW THAT VEHICLES ON A FLAT BED HAVE TO BE STRAPPED DOWN ON ALL 4 WHEELS ?? 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@DesignedandBuilt]

No ADRs as far as I'm aware. As long as they aren't overhanging the car and they are below 4.3 metres which it is safely.

[@VaughanMunro-js4nr]

My main worry would be wiping the bikes out on a low clearance car park, drive through, or even a tree branch. Otherwise, it's a great idea.

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Yeah agreed, In saying that though people run mtbs on 4x4 roofs all the time and it would be a similar height.... Maybe a tall aerial at the front to remind you of the height.

[@scottaubrey8392]

The foot peg holders could be a far simpler design. Just have metal rods with an angle on the them. As the foot pegs slide in and the bike gets pulled up, the metal will hit the pegs and clamp them down…if that makes sense?!

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Yep I get you! They would need a lock of some sort but I like it!

[@motas313131]

Use the winch cable to clamp the pegs down once it hits the end of its travel

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Yeah I like that suggestion, or even just making the foot peg holders pull the bike down on a wedged angle!
