[@bushidoal916]

Nicely done mate & some nice tunes an aw. 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤘🙏

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

As usual fantastic video and the flow 👌 Threw me off when you lowered the engine at time-lapse speed lol. Excited to see the final form!

[@ShooglyShedMotors]

Thanks BJ 🙏🏻😂

[@MotoMango]

Got my cup of coffee and ready to watch while putting off some reading for school xD ☕🍵

[@lifeonwheels9874]

Looking forward to seeing this finished 👍🏻

[@remotorcycled]

👍👍 looks good dude!

[@78Outlaw]

Ever since I had seen the Shibuya Garage vmax I knew I wanted a stealth black look to the mill and knowing what we have planned for Project Musashi in terms of paint and coatings it is going to look awesome 😎

[@nuffysbuilds3750]

Great work mate, well done 👍🏻

[@Ketta3Sportback]

OMG! You painted the silver parts on the cylinders and the "star" on the clutch cover!!! Blasphemy 😱 The rest of the project I like 😉 Looking forward to next episode

[@ShooglyShedMotors]

Gotta be a bit different, eh?

[@Ketta3Sportback]

@@ShooglyShedMotors Yeah shure, but it looks like you couldnt be bothered to mask up the shiny bits and threw som rattle can paint on it just to be done with it. Many people do that, but from what I`ve seen so far you DONT 😉 With all that being said, I LOVE the Vmax just the way it was from the factory

[@ShooglyShedMotors]

@@Ketta3Sportback it was a style choice by the person I'm building the bike for. And hopefully it'll all make sense once the bike comes together 👍🏻 I'm trying really hard not to take your comment as an insult 🤔

[@78Outlaw]

@@ShooglyShedMotors that was me 👋 check out the Shibuya Garage Gen-1 and you’ll see how great the mill looks stealthed out and of course just one part of the final finishing 😎

[@mototurkey5289]

Good explanations. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

[@scootyman2974]

Another great video and enjoyable to watch. I’m not far from you and have noticed the change in temperature over this last week. I use a Clarke quartz heater on a stand which heats both yourself and the object you’re working on. £80 well spent and allows you to continue through the Scottish winter. Best regards from sunny Dunfermline

[@RicksAquariumsuk]

I love watching your videos especially when I own a 1990 gen1 vmax,the v boost kicks in at 6000 revs then bloody hold on lol 😂

[@yamahasakisteveniv8349]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@norwichscott]

The vboost opens up cylinder 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 carbs, so every time a cylinder fires, it feeds of 2 carbs instead of 1 👍

[@81craw]

8:02 that’s a reasonable way to start a fire 😂

[@jonunya3128]

what kind of endurance can you expect with a rattlecan spray job? my experience with spray cans is decades old. when I used them they were slightly better than a waste of time but not much. I assume they are more durable now?

[@ShooglyShedMotors]

This stuff has been used on a few of my builds so far and no issues yet!

[@frakok]

What type of paint did you use , it looks braw! @@ShooglyShedMotors

[@ShooglyShedMotors]

@@frakok it's Simoniz Tough Black👍🏻

[@frakok]

Thanks for the quick reply ! Keep up the good work :) @@ShooglyShedMotors

[@theodorstravels]

will the covers be a contrasting color, or also dark?

[@ShooglyShedMotors]

Valve covers? Contrasting 😎

[@skankined]

How long would you expect a paint job on an engine to last before it starts coming off?

[@ShooglyShedMotors]

If you prep it properly and degrease it well, and use the right paint, it should last just as long as any other paint.

[@simon2knine]

The downside of painting the engine like this is when you try and undo screws and split cases. Like you said the best way is to dismantle the engine. Ask me how i know.

[@ShooglyShedMotors]

Having done both in the past, if you're careful about it, it's not that big an issue 👍🏻

[@ekspatriat]

If taking the bike to meets and shows, the comments you get will be that the engine was painted as a unit. The first time you need to remove nuts and bolts (painted) the finish is going to suffer. Unfortunately the only real way of having a good paint job is a complete strip whether or not the engine requires it.

[@ShooglyShedMotors]

Having done both in the past, if you're careful, you can do it. Trust me, this ain't my first rodeo.

[@mickperry1935]

ekspatriat, you are right, you need to remove the outer cases and paint them separately otherwise it just looks like a rush job. The all over paint job done here is fine for the rat bike look but I would of thought a bit more time would have been put in to this.

[@ShooglyShedMotors]

@@mickperry1935 until you've seen it in the flesh, I think you're never going to understand 👍🏻

[@themayorofdipshittery3646]

How many NEW books and crannies did you find each time you went round coating that engine with paint 😳. You really need patience when doing these jobs.

[@ShooglyShedMotors]

Just about every coat revealed more and more bits I'd missed 😂😰

[@jimgracie6403]

Do you do this as a living? Must be hard to price jobs like this, big bill I would imagine.

[@ShooglyShedMotors]

I don't build bikes for a living, but the long term goal is to fund projects through KZbin income etc. Not paying myself, just funding the builds if that makes sense!
