Fellas, I'm a High School small engine teacher about 3 hours from you. My intro students build and then race "go-karts" from thrown away push mowers at the end of every school year. If you ever have an opening in your schedule, I would love for them to get to chat with you about your creative and build processes.

I emailed them 4 years ago about doing an electric halo truck and about a long travel Honda odyssey I had build back in 2002 with a Yamaha r1 motor in it. They never responded. They did end up doing an electric car on shortly after my email. Not sure if it had any influence or if it was just coincidence.

Pro tip: with the cup liners in your HVLP gun. Before spraying, start by turning the gun upside-down and pulling the trigger until you see paint. This vacuums the air out of the cup, so it's paint only. You'll be able to spray at any angle, and the volume of paint being sprayed will be consistent until the cup is empty.

I been spraying lacquer for 20 years and didn't know until someone tipped me off to it. The gun will spray fine regardless, as proven. Bleeding the air from the cup helps with tight spaces, angles, and consistency. The bike and paint turned out incredible!

What an exciting transformation! Fitting race car parts onto an LS Humvee is a bold and innovative idea that blends rugged durability with high-performance engineering. This project showcases creativity and a willingness to push the boundaries of what a Humvee can do. It’s fascinating to think about how these enhancements will improve speed and handling while maintaining the vehicle's tough exterior. This kind of cross-pollination between different automotive worlds is always inspiring and could lead to some thrilling results on the track. Can’t wait to see how this project unfolds , definitely an exciting venture

You have a good natural flow to your spraying technique. With just a little refinement you will be excellent. Please practice tapering your air fluid transition at the gun. What I mean by that is try closing off the fluid as you end a pass but keep the air flowing. This will enable you to taper your fluid to what is just needed and will also reduce overspray. This will be a big help especially with clearcoat. Practice a bit by never stopping the airflow but squeezing enough fluid to coat your part. Once you get this, you will never go back to your ON OFF spraying you are doing now. Trust me, I have sprayed thousands of cars bikes, aircraft boats and furniture. I am 67nyears old and still spraying because I enjoy it!

It isn't like getting it professionally painted, but it DOES protect the metal and can easily be touched up if it gets scratched. The rusty look just makes it appear that you dgaf and just slapped something together, not really intending for it to last any amount of time, or even really work right, in the end.

Looking into your sandblaster cabinet, you should have an entry hole for clean air and an exit hole connected to a vacuum cleaner just to remove all dust from inside of it while sandblasting. You should also have a removable glass attached (with some brackets) beneath that plastic sheet. Is more durable and you can make it removable from the lateral door hatch. When the glass becomes too scratched and opaque, just replace it with another one. I have a similar cabinet and it works well this way. Awesome, awesome job you've been doing. Cheers from Portugal,

Yeah the exhaust of the cabinet is non existing. In cabinets you want negative pressure gravity resisting flow, as in filtered intake channel back of the cabinet that prevent heaviest material from flowing out with air and sucking dust protected fan on top that pulls dust out and into filter. Would not use vacuum cleaner since its low volume high speed extraction, when you want large volume low speed extraction. With my blasting cabinet i have troubles on figuring suitable all year round filtering system, but one would be if used little and/or warm climate, have pumps spray mist of water that traps the dust particles and drops them into bucket that then has sediment filtering and pump to recycle water to nozzles. Another would be some fabric type of filtering or if it does not bother you, just pump the air outside, but that is loosing lots of air in cold climates, so maybe cold intake into cabinet and then pump the dust outside, though it will cover large area with the sand dust. For the window, thin sheet plastic cover on both sides is the most cost effective solution, though if you can deal the with replacing sacrificial glass then go for it, but here glass is more expensive than sheet of plastic. Regardless you want to protect the main window from both sides with something optically clear.

To solve the wobble, try to mount the steering damper at the front by were the steering cables are, to dampen the movement between the "fork" and the bike's wheel. Think about your current setup as putting a steering damper on a car at the steering wheel. It wouldn't help much, agree?. On a bike it works because the damping takes place at the pivot where the frame and the fork swivels. Good luck, I hope it works! The bike is awesome 👍🏼

Did you know the “motorcycle” was invented by Johannes Wilhelm Mädles-Motör in 1683 and that’s why to this day we call them “motorcycle”.

I hope the paint holds up better for yall than it did for me. I painted a minibike with a different color but nearly all the same products. I used the matching clear for the paint is about the only difference. I had my frame sand blasted and baked before priming and painting too. Chip resistance is VERY low. Hopefully the clear youre going with is tougher

@@s13kuminachu given where they are, and availability of powder coating services, it makes sense to a degree. I don't blame them but I also can't disagree. I think they'd have been well suited to build a large DIY oven big enough to do this on their own for less than the cost of sending it all for powder coating. I can't speak for the exact availability of powdercoating in their area, but I live in a much less rural area and we only have like two within a reasonable drive. And one of them is barely reasonable. Dropping off parts and coming back takes all day. The other one is 45 minutes or so from my house.

@desertvet1990 I guess I should pay more attention. Also I've used powder coating shops before for sandblasting and coating. It's usually easier to get a quick blast in than it is to get it coated. Last time I had it done it was gonna be like 2-3 weeks for coating. It took them 3 days to sneak it in and get it sandblasted.

Well done, great work. But you need to cover the front wheel to prevent the rider from getting injured by the small rocks that are grabbed by the wheel. Also, you can use the cover to mount a front light over, so it is centered in the middle and covers more area.
