Honda VF1000 buggy build part 15

[@ratherBweldingChris]

I'm not sure why this video is still 360p, this is the second time uploading it because the last one also wasn't in HD. there is not much I can do about it besides deleting and re-uploading it. seeing that it didn't work last time I would rather not do that. sorry for the bad quality there is not much I can do.

[@Free2KYT]

U just have to wait for KZbin to fully upload takes about 40 min to fix

[@nickrich1472]

I was just abouta say the quality was worse then a film camera

[@fohgames]

@@Free2KYT nope. it's been 360p for about 24 hours now. it's not going to resolve itself, especially in as short of a timeframe as 40 minutes.

[@michaelthomas3646]

still 360, but quality is ok to view on standard sized youtube window view on a 32" tv, and sat about 6 feet away. at least it isn't pixelated like some channels I have viewed at lower quality.

[@gurtfpv9911]

its still at 360p sadly

Goog luck Chris on purchasing your new home! Thanks for sharing this with us! 👍😁

I love your channel man! Seeing you build things from scratch is always so cool, and you are genuine too unlike other who put up a façade and act like someone they are not. Like at 3:57 when you drop the gas tank at laugh it off, keep being you

Dont ever worry about what those people are saying, for every one of those people commenting, there is thousands of us who watch and enjoy whatever you do with your builds, fast or "slow"

[@stevelecain886]

baffles me as to why people need to be negative I've been building stuff my whole life and like I said before I'm 60 yrs old, I have not seen one video where I saw any need for negativity to what you are doing, my friend I wish at your age I would have known any where near what you know.Just keep on doing what your doing and don't worry about keyboard warriors who for the most part or at least the ones criticizing you are either jealous or who have no clue how to do what you do. I'm an old guy with a ton of experience and I still get amazed at your talent and that lathe you built unreal dude, keep it up.

[@lex2715]

Thanks men, i want to install a winch om my own buggy, but i didn't know exactly how. Now i do. Thanks! Keep up the good work!

[@michaelmcginnis9029]

And to be honest you would be a great candidate for someone to help out you an honest and humble hardworking young man. Id be very happy if my 2 sons turn out as work worthy as you so good luck little buddy i hope you get it.

[@tom5051666]

you keep adding more weight with every video. just madness.

[@whiskyjacked]

Man, those internet experts always seem to know best. I think it’s bad ass that you build these things from scratch. The fact that you got a functioning vehicle the first time says a lot. The side by side name brands have engineers, artists, lawyers, yes men and multitudes of other people before a first gen ever hits the sales floor. You did all that shit in your shed by yourself.

[@matthewf1979]

Some canvas panels would look pretty cool imo. Like an old surplus Army tent or something.

[@joehintze1]

Yea I'm gonna do that on my buggy

[@joehintze1]

Light weight also

[@EdwardMurray06]

That would look pretty sick

[@michaelthomas3646]

plus would make it better for all weather, what would you do put an air scoop or something that sticks above the canopy for air flow to the engine? plus would have to watch for engine cooling as well if blocking wind from all directions.

[@g-man8008]

Having a winch that can pull 2 1/2 times the weight of the vehicle is a good idea just in case you get stuck in a deep mud hole spot. You did fine with that winch Chris. However I would suggest that you get good deep cycle marine battery for that buggy. The reason why is because the winch is going to be a power drainer for sure. The charging system on that Motorcycle engine is not going to be able to with that winch using a car battery. Car batteries are mostly used for super high amp draw applications such as starting. Deep cycle batteries mostly used longer period amp draw applications. You could try a yellow top Optima or something similar. It's a good in-between battery high amp draw and good power draw longevity.

[@nolanharder9798]

LOVED THE EDIT the music with the beat matching up when using the band saw. Just minty

[@a.benaway_racing]

The tank looks awesome!! Youre going to need to put "load distributing" braces or bracket on the tank. Those 2 very narrow mounting point will put a very concentrated point of vibrations and stress. Maybe make 2 1 inch wide rings that go around the entire tank or at least the bottom half.

[@vancemacd6315]

Every time i see this build it looks better, flawless work brother.

[@watahyahknow]

to cut those straps its eazier to use a instant hot type soldering iron with the tip flattened , it melts the fibres together as well to prevent fraying , a butterknife made hot with a propane flame works too depending on if you going to run the cart in sandy dunes or muddy forrest , a set of driving plates and a shovel might be a nice add on too having a winch opposite the door in youre shop might be a good idea too , as it helps you get the projcts back in the shop

[@davidowen888]

made that tank like a boss, I like your style

[@jeeper426]

i STRONGLY recommend a disconnect switch between the winch and battery pos connection for safety, if you have a solonoid stick ON it can draw the cable into the winch and wreck your fairlead and the winch mount, still a sweet build man, cant wait to see this thing rippin' around off road xD

[@sweeneysweeney1901]

Pay no attention to all the negatives comments. Your doing an awesome job bud . Would love to see it at one of the mini mayhem avents hosted by cars and cameras.

[@ThatCarGuyYT]

The more I watch your videos the more I want to build a 4x4 buggy with ifs rear and front using pajero v60 diffs or bmw and a Mercedes g463 transfer case. I know those items are not common in the us but here in Italy this is all I can use ahaha

[@froggersgarage5127]

That would be sweet

[@slowstang88]

Braided fishing line also works very well for high strength thread

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Good luck on the house,Chris. Awesome finishing touches on the 'Bruiser' buggy.PLease,Front fenders to keep rocks and mud out of your face so you can see.

[@CPAExamNINJAs]

This is such a cool dune buggy

[@mad_monkeys4438]

awesome build been watching along, "always haters out there" don't think your really over with the winch though the deeper the mud the more you will need, sometimes 4x the weight your pulling so great job!!!!!

[@davidbogolin3411]

I love how he fabricates most of his own parts most people would have just bought a gas tank but no he made one that's badass

[@t-townmini4939]

Chris, you certainly have earned all the support you can get for your channel. I hope you can acquire the needed finances to move into a new shop. Wow, think of what you could accomplish with some mfg sponsorships to equip your shop with new tools & fabrication equipment. Your work is impressive. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[@ronnybe7994]

Look forward to seeing it off-road. Good luck

[@Ratkill9000]

Rule of thumb for winches, figure about 2.5 times the weight of the vehicle being pulled out and go with a winch of that size or one size bigger. That way your not undersized, especially for mud. That 4 ton winch is like 5.5 times larger than what that buggy weighs (estimating 1500lbs for the buggy with driver and passenger).

[@Crewsy]

Aaron .J Save 200 lbs and make the passenger run the cable out to an anchor point. 😉

[@maximumeffort3225]

Always Awesome. Should have put some baffles into the tank though.

[@parkerfrey9861]

dude amazing job on the limiter straps those are amazing and impressive

[@ronaldcolman6211]

If you really want that clutch to live you gotta run Motul 4t oil and an oil cooler. Those things are used to hauling around a 400lb bike, not the 1000lb contraption you put it in. Barnett plates and uprated springs will help too.

[@parleyk4503]

You can get an old v8 for cheap these days. Would be amazing to see a custom build built around a 4 cylinder or a V8.

[@nickkaarslev290]

Just a idea... Switch to synthetic line rather then that cable. I did that on a small wench I had and it worked just as great as the cable.

rule of thumb, on limit straps you get an inch per foot of stretch, and those are just single thickness

[@MarkSmith-fw2vv]

The little wheel under there is genius

[@mikemoore6001]

Chris, I have an Idea. I had thought about it for one of my builds. Take you 2 speed unit and use it as a Hi/Lo range unit. You don't need to shift it on the fly. Just set it for low range or high range. Seems like possible solution to you gearing issue.

[@johnweeks538]

Definitely need taller tires on the back but besides that WoW that buggy is awesome looking

Amazing build , if you build this thing in UAE i would really buy it off you & people in the uae are crazy about this stuff . If you open a shop over here where you build these dune buggys i guarantee your business will be booming because there is a really high demand for these expensive toys and no one builds them in uae nor there is a garage which builds it .

You do good work!!! Don’t worry about the naysayers, it’ll be fine!!!

[@jlucasound]

You are going to install two batteries, right? :-) Install one for operation, one dedicated to the winch. Equally spaced. Weight distribution. Fail safe redundancy. It is always a good idea to have two batteries, independent circuits, that have a switch that you can access for either disabled system. (Should that arise). Smaller batteries, 2. Equally spaced. Love your engineering. Just giving my 2 cents. You are good! Yes, I was redundant.

[@AJWyman1]

don't ever let the Naysayers bring you down man they will never show you they can do better! your channel is awesome keep doing what your doing and just have a good laugh at the haters.

[@justinduncan2480]

Ive had plenty of criticism about this buggy since you started it. It’s intriguing and amusing but i think so much of it could have been better. But i can say with certainty had you tested your winch out by fully suspending the buggy from a tree i’d already be on your patreon page with a card out.

Thea builds are undoubtedly bad ass but I’d really like to see maybe like a boxer motor build so you don’t have to worry about chains and torque

[@motorsportsmafia5218]

My opinion you have made the right choice to gear for offroad in low gears. Wanna go faster, simply shift gears and mash out. Isn't it a 5 speed?

[@cj351stang]

My thoughts exactly. I have similar gearing(12/60) on my gsxr1100 buggy that weighs 1100 lbs and it does 90mph at about 11000 rpms. Wind that bike engine out! :)

[@albertsewell878]

Couldn't tell, I hope you put baffles in that tank at least 2 .

[@toddabbott781]

You need a lower bumper to protect you front control arms. You should make it street legal and put some spare tires on the roof as well as some fenders, a floor pan, and a windshield. Instead of regearing it for when driving on the street, you can just put larger tires on the back.

[@curtism7203]

Its looking good! You are a great fabricator! And the winch is wayyyy overkill lol you just need a atv or sxs winch

Good job

[@michaelthomas3646]

great update to the buggy, not sure you might want to do limiting straps to both sides of the shocks to reduce wear of both the straps, and the joints that the straps are on. just a personal point of view though. as being just one side of the shocks could possibly bend the shocks as well. although that said then 4 straps are better than 2 on each shock at a 90 degree angle from the last strap. but think I would go with at least 2 to be on the safe side if I had the room and money to create a buggy, plus somewhere to run it legally. I do agree with having a stonger winch, as a less powerful one either will burn out the motor, or not move the buggy at all, or not as fast as a powerful winch. but the project is going really well, what do you do with the projects once you finish them do you keep them?

[@fmscooter768]

people that comment negative in your videos must be retarted, you build stuff out of nothing, you weld everything together you seem to have fun in that you are doing, you try out a lot, when you work like that you will always make mistakes, but i know negative commentin people never do mistakes because they dont build anything expect their belly when lying around and commenting negative :-) for me you are an artist and you share all that stuff, im very thankful for that, greets from germany
