Millyard RC374 Honda six replica - Episode 6

In this video I am getting the RC374 ready for a track demo (short carpark track) at the Sammy miller motorcycle museum in the New Forrest UK. I remove the fairing to clean the clutch plates and show how I made the aluminium and Titanium fairing screws and a little look around behind the fairing. There is a short running clip at the end in first gear but hopefully its gives an idea of its sound Thanks to Tracey, and Matt (www.altomedia.co.uk) for the riding clips.

[@mryorkshire3623]

It would be funny if Mrs Millyard had a baking channel on KZbin and then during a video went outside to comment on Allen doing bike maintenance in the garden.

[@ikral11]

That'd be great maybe one off special episode! Food for thoughts there, mr Allen.

Need a screw: Me: Goes to Screwfix Allen: I put a 25mm bar in the Chuck. What a guy.

[@ouch74]

Ironically that was a pretty easy task to make that screw. All you need is a lathe, vise, hacksaw and a buffing wheel and a few months of machine shop classes. BTW aluminum being a soft metal is a joy to work with the titanium maybe more a challenge.

[@ouch74]

Also I forgot to add you need the die to cut the 6mm threads. LOL.

[@huwjones5879]

'We need some screws" Everyone "I'll pop down to Halfords". Alan " I'll get the lathe out..." Genius.

I never liked that screw anyway ,next time I'll make an extra one to put a side with others called spares 😀 , and then one day I will count up all the parts for sale as a flat pack and other lucky people can nock up their own bike , excellent thank you Allen much love me old son

[@leemidgley5394]

I think Mr and Mrs Millyard should adopt me, as I could watch them all day. (I’m nearly 60 but that shouldn’t affect the legal process!) It’s tiring just watching a genius at work, let alone two, but I’m willing to make that sacrifice. Keep up the fantastic work! 👍

[@classicmusclecarexhaust1988]

Imagine Julia Child saying on her cooking show "While we're waiting for our oven to heat up to 400 degrees, let's use our welder and our hacksaw to make a V-6 Suzuki GT750". This is the only channel where cooking tips are a natural fit on a motorcycle channel, and the only channel that makes removing screws actually interesting to watch. Loved this video!

Allen may appear to be a hugely talented engineer but in fact he is an alien that can create anything with basic tools in his shed, even his hacksaw can saw a straighter surface than a human can achieve on a milling machine
