Epic hand built Ducati custom series

[@codysawmiller1892]

Hey Casey my name is Cody. I work at Iron Pony Motorsports in westerville ohio. I am following your build on this duck and look forward to it being fired up and ridden. If you need anything just come in to the parts department and we will get you taken care of.

[@CaseyPutsch]

Hey man! Good to meet you! Actually I bought my chain and battery from you guys. Really got my eye on your Honda CRF250 and that bitchin Triumph Thruxton R with the half fairing. Thanks for following and I hope you subscribe, tomorrow's video is gonna be epic.

[@thenoblepixel7586]

I like the white exhaust. What you said about the details reminds me about how much time it takes to get a project from 0-80% complete seems shorter compared to going from 80 to 90-95% finished.

[@Jaroneko]

Man that BD5 is *TINY!* I somehow hadn't really grasped it before, but now looking at it just sitting there on the table... And that's a type of frame _actually_ flown, by actual people, with a jet engine strapped to their backs... Wow!

[@CaseyPutsch]

Jaroneko isn’t it crazy?!?!?!?

[@Jaroneko]

@@CaseyPutsch Absolutely!

[@CaseyPutsch]

Hi guys! I decided to get more into this Ducati build and others to come. I think it will help people do their own builds, get inspired, and have more fun too! Hope you like it and tomorrow's video is gonna be INSANE. Make sure to subscribe!

I invested in a sonic cleaner for cleaning carb parts etc.Works real well on old gunked up parts.

[@stymiesnerdly771]

Good for you! Love the concept of making it your own & keeping it.

[@CaseyPutsch]

Thanks! Me too!

[@ZacharyCox]

MacGyver called - for X reason. Fans will get it. Love the bike.

[@CaseyPutsch]

Zachary Cox come on... let’s here some MacGyver jokes! (Dude was my childhood hero and I do still carry a Swiss knife)

[@ZacharyCox]

@@CaseyPutsch that wasn't me being a smartass. I spotted the knife. He was my favorite too, grew up wanting a jeep and being a scientist was a fallback from flying. Even have the box set of dvds

[@mrchili1603]

Love that. 'It's not gonna'. Wish I'd kept my classic Mini cooper and my 1st car, a scrap yard tuned, Slaaaammed! Mk1 Ford Fiesta.

[@raymondbolender1840]

That is one beautiful Ducati old school racer your building Casey, love it .

[@charlieryan1736]

I can’t wait to hear this Ducati roar 🇮🇹👌

[@GreaseRenegade]

Awesome work so far, I can't wait to see this hit the road. What you said in the end is badass and completely true. I hate seeing guys who build cool vehicles just to sell them. It takes a great amount of artistry to do a (truly) custom build and while there is something to be said for the enjoyment of the project, its sad if you dont enjoy the end result. Then on the flipside, some people collect these custom pieces just to collect them, only appreciating them as monetary object. Thank you for thinking the same way and actually saying it.

[@HallsoftheSummer]

Casey that was a beautiful and inspiring video! I hope I can build a bike of my own soon :D

[@CaseyPutsch]

I hope you do too and share it with us!

[@Jaroneko]

That is _such_ a good looking Thruxton you have there! ;) Now just make it run and enjoy it!

[@mrjonas9657]

Love the look of that bike, looks amazing 👍

[@sqeric]

damn great vision you have for the bike .the devil in detail is killing you casey. good luck and good speed for you for riding it.

[@CaseyPutsch]

erick tdt thank you! I can’t wait to get it on the road.

[@doublea9482]

Awesome build dude! If possible could we some of your builds while you work on the projects?

[@CaseyPutsch]

Double A for sure man. I’m getting there but the problem is I don’t have a team for that, so it’s hard to work and video record at the same time.

[@doublea9482]

Casey Putsch thanks for the reply Casey! I hear ya. Well I look forward to it and your upcoming vids. You always have solid content and info.

[@OnlyTheFinest125]

Is it just me or does this video sound so much better? 😉

[@CaseyPutsch]

It does! I got a remote lava mic on

[@dilligaf0220]

Does this mean you've turned a 900SS into a Duccasey?

[@CaseyPutsch]

Chuck Farley I think it does! :)

[@planegaper]

@@CaseyPutsch hey Casey, nice upsidedown fork, nice 900 belt drive torque monster, that thing will be a rocket ship outta the corners, glad yer bringing her back to life, I'm lucky enough to aquainted with people in the Duc resto scene here in Canada (i'm in N Falls), if you get stuck, need bits or advice , setup info, whatever, there's some walking encyclopedia's here you may find useful (if you can run a small lithium battery under the tail (a la 80's F1's) and keep the frame clean, it would look epic.) as they say it takes a village to restore a duc, and it sounds like you've got a dealer behind you too.. wish you the best on her.. One name i will drop , that you are going to need is Mike Guidera, from EMS,, shim guy, must have for desmo .. emsduc.com/contact-us/ , if you need inspiration ask him for his Thunderhill racing pics on the 916.. builders viagara lol... looking forward to hearing the music from the pipes.. !!!! .

[@CaseyPutsch]

@@planegaper Thanks brother! Great wisdom here. No dealer or sponsor backing on this one. Just my crazy builder angst and motorcycle masochism at work! :)

[@planegaper]

@@CaseyPutsch nice Casey, you are never alone.. should you want to go functional with the tank, got a line on a garage full of molds from the racing days, fairings, tanks tails.. handy in case of damage or changes down the road.. I'll shoot u some pics of the WIP's we got going , peace out..

[@thomasmagda4580]

Is the pipe powder coated?

[@CaseyPutsch]

Just high temp spray paint on well prepped metal. It's more delicate but super easy to touch up since I plan to ride this bike like crazy.

[@wendymattiussi]

Love your videos

[@midnightchaser9453]

duuuudeeee. fly me out there, put some wrenches in my hands, and let me live my cafe racer dreams vicariously through you! lol jokes aside, i see it wrong to flip these style bikes for money if you're not building them on commission. cafe racers and honestly a lot of modified cars are like tailored suits: a true reflection of their owners, and not everyone. in fact most people don't see and appreciate the details a true craftsman like you puts into the machine, the person you sell it to will probably love the bike, but they wont notice the ducati pedals, or the clean engine, or the carefully laid windshield molding (i thought that was neat) and if that isn't reason enough to hold on to it i don't know what is

[@CaseyPutsch]

Midnight Chaser thanks brother. That means a lot.

[@opieg7333]

Sure you could save money buying a working example, but buying the non-working saves a Ducati from becomes parts to never be made whole again. Daytona Coupe is my #1 unobtainium dream car. And while the creators may not possess those commissioned works of art, they are the creators which in many respects beats ownership, albeit not in initial financial gain. (Not many remember who commissioned each Rembrandt, but we all remember who Rembrandt was). But I do get the point about function built art not being utilized leaving us all a little poorer for the lack of experiences. How about a clean sheet build series? Can be any vehicle or thing. Would love to see some design-fab-build-use from square one.

[@theanomalous1401]

No Casey, I do "Get it". You see all these shows on TV or on YT of these talented people who flip cars or bikes and they pour themselves into projects for others yet not get to cherish the special talents they have by using their talents on something that they can keep and enjoy. At some point, it has to NOT be about the money. My favorite automotive craftsman are guys like Ian Rousseau, Stacey David, Bryan Fuller and lately some guy from Ohio who likes Vipers and is a little follicly challenged. I like fabricators who are detail oriented but the vision they have for a project isn't on paper, it's in their head. I can get into watching someone shaping metal with an english wheel or power hammer. But someone with nothing more than a sand bag and a set of hammers is a true starving artist.

[@CaseyPutsch]

Thanks brother! That means a lot and I hope you subscribe to see the crazy epic videos I'm going to keep releasing!

[@jmoney7289]

Yeah burn that rubber not a spot in someone's garage space, wish I had some street tires for my raptor 660 don't want to tear up my Dunlop knobby's so I don't even spin on the dirt..... Well no stationary spinning anyway

[@CaseyPutsch]

:) Fun to come!

[@jmoney7289]

Casey Putsch oh I bet I love bikes and qauds from 50cc to my Raptor. Some practice and saving up I'm hoping to hop on a busa sometime soon, or a cbr600rr, or Yamaha R1. Decisions, decisions....

[@CaseyPutsch]

The 90s Yamaha FZR600 is a great buy right now. I dig the two round headlights. You can get a decent one for 1,000-1,500 if you look. Then sell it and move up after you save more money and in the mean time you become a better rider too.

[@jmoney7289]

Casey Putsch see this is why I love the channel I might just have to check that out I'm a sucker for a deal, got my raptor for 2 even. Unknown hours on the motor but she treats me good and will carry me as fast as I'm comfortable on a qaud
