My name's Matt Urch and I own and run Urchfab welding and fabrication.
I specialise in custom automotive fabrication from building roll cages to complete one off builds. I built the worlds most unique and oldest drift car known as 'The Drift Rod' which can be found on my channel.
So if you're into grinding, welding, fabricating, etc, you're in the right place!

Plasma cut the Xtreme plasma-logo from some steel and use it as a stencil to sand/glass blast the logo to the raw aluminium on the tank

[@Sennaxm71]

That's a cracking idea, I bet they'd love that.

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Great work Matt... Kickstand is on the wrong side though.... 😎

[@bigjim8088]

It's in the right side now. LoL

[@lloydy___8720]

Sweet video. I kinda like the none talking aspect for the first part of the video, especially if you prefer it Matt and makes your life easier

[@msfselitereallifeadventures]

Starting to take shape nicely. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

[@destinationunknown494]

Liking how this is coming together - except the bit of builders strapping holding the mudguard, Is that what it looks like to others too? Looks out of place altogether. I think it's the round holes, maybe it should be slotted instead of round holes? Or maybe even the logo cut into them?

[@whatnowstinky]

I was thinking loose them all together and cut a spine that runs up the length of the mud guard with a second mounting point at the top frame brace. Either slotted to match the frame or with the X-treme Plazma logo. Maybe twin spines even.

[@terencehawkes3933]

Nice exhaust tips! I love that their matte finish matches that of the tank. Nice touch! Good work on the rear fender bead too! I was just thinking about what colour you should paint the frame. Since you are building this bike to show off the capabilities of Xtreme Plasma, you might think about using a strong colour to show up that gorgeous plasma-cut frame. A searingly bright red would do that. Anyway, it is just a thought.

[@Sennaxm71]

It does want to be something that shows off the frame for sure, no point in doing all that work to not show it off eh ;)

[@davidpilbeam3644]

Great progress Matt. I can't help seeing skull shapes as the "lightening holes" in the mudguard stays. Another way to show off the advantages of plasma cutting.

[@mitchellmunday4103]

Coming up well . Have u put any thought into the rear caliper being mounted on the frame . ? When u adjust the chain and move the wheel the caliper won't move with it and line up with the disk properly. Most bikes the caliper moves with the axle

[@MattBrownbill]

I thought something looked odd about that install.

[@phillipembury2271]

Its a show bike. It'll never do more than a few miles in its life. Regarding frame flex, the same thing applies. The bike is being built to promote a plasma cutting CNC system at shows and expos not to be a daily driver..

[@neilfairless4589]

Who doesn't like a nice piece of knurling?

[@neilfairless4589]

@MichaelKingsfordGray Thanks, ammended.

[@Reman1975]

I'm just glad to see someone building a custom bike who DOESN'T instantly go for foot pegs that end in a calf impaling point ! :)

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

Nice workmanship there.👍👍👍

[@theoriginalwallace]

I do like the tailpipe finishers, Matt... something different! Cheers. Leigh

[@imouse3246]

I know it's irrational, but I am beside myself with those as well.

[@BenHur872]

That fuel tank is a work of art

[@jwjr2197]

Like a BOSS!! Who needs a cnc???!??

[@mauriceeley621]

nice mudguard work Matt

[@BobMatthews]

Your videos are right up there and this one is the best to date, please keep them coming. I used to to love to get that perfect knurl. The Bestons work beautifully with the whole of the build and your mudguard work is a joy to behold.

[@BrianSmart1959]

You should weld up a couple of your cool dice appropriately sized to hold the headlight and taillights.

[@glenville2497]

Cut the logo out on sheet metal and bolt it to the side of the tank

[@lofty7180]

ive loved this build from the very start. Only thing id change is the rear mudguard brackets. Seeing as theres no seat going on it, hidden internal brackets would have been better imo.

[@thomaswykes3647]

Footpegs really need to fold/hinge up. If you catch the road on a bend, it will have you off!

[@markyw04]

Replace the engine casings with the HONDA logos to custom made XTREME PLASMA LOGOS..... 🤔

[@argee55]

The bike is looking cool. Totally different than most builds.

[@Tristan_Figueroa]

Great work. Love the foot pegs and mounts. You should sell them. I need a pair.

[@stephenpratt2902]

So how does the rear brake calliper move backwards to stay with the disc when the chain needs adjusting ?

[@Reman1975]

I think, at the end of the day, and in the big scheme of things............... It won't. :D I'm guessing this bikes pretty much just going to be an expensive show stand prop when it's handed over to Extreme plasma, so I doubt it'll do enough miles under it's own power to ever need the chain adjusting.

[@fredericrike5974]

Matt, I'm sure some M/C mechanic will shoot me in the hoo hah if I get this wrong, but an alternator needs live voltage fed into it before it will ever make a charge- a generator will make juice it it merely turned over. I'm mostly a car guy, but that seemed a sure bet to me! Awesome bike- can't wait to see you ride it!

[@jangofet3756]

jack the front of the bike up real high when you bleed the brakes this will help get the air out of the caliper

[@1farmgate]

Could you do the hand grips to suit the foot pegs? This bike is awesome , the owner must be thrilled.

[@glynprice3815]

Looking like a good usable custom bike. Worthy of an N.C.C. bike.

[@ThePidge1953]

Great work, particularly like the wire edging on the mudguard mod, skills man, respect!

[@chriswilcox7828]

I had one of those in the 90s

[@Hui9697]

That's a true custom build if ever there was one. Is there a reason for putting the side-stand on the right ? Can't say it's wrong, just different and maybe adds to being 'custom'

[@moneymarty1]

Fantastic scratch-build man! The fender makes it.

[@trickysubject8563]

Matt, great job brother. I’m building a bobber too, it’ll be ready in the spring. Keep on keeping on!🇬🇧👁

[@anthonyjackson3907]

A man of few words.

[@battyboomfatty]

I feel as if the rear mudguard needs to be a bit more.....coffiny. Can't really think of a better word 😂

[@Reman1975]

"Angular" ?

[@weaverhchrist]

Nice little putt yer buildin there son! Ya oughtta think about building bikes for a living!!

[@garyyorke1080]

Looking nice ..liking the foot mounts . Exhaust ends are different .coming along nicely will look stunning . Are you gonna take it for a long test ride before handing over to extreme plasma

[@paulbainbridge6425]

Greatwork on the bike , will the floating rear caliper will hit the mudguard stay when the pads wear

[@rosstulloch8100]

Just a safety note... Those foot pegs should be hinged so that they don't anchor into the road if you lean over too far. Might be an MOT issue.

[@johnstilljohn3181]

Wow - I don't think I have ever seen a side-stand on the right...!

[@kevinhamling1963]

Hey man Kevin here from Australia. The bike is surely looking the business. Thankyou for sharing stay safe. ✌ Peace. 🏍

[@FireWaterTrading]

nice work mate!

[@mictozer8350]

vinyl wrap might make life easier

[@themekfrommars]

I absolutely love this build!

[@TheOldaz1]

Coming along nicely, it's always the little bits that take the time to get right. Airbox to match the tank or some ram tubes to match the exhaust?? Thanks Matt.

[@johnstilljohn3181]

Neat caliper mounting...! Is that bead on the mudguard a length of round wire...?

[@primenacer3595]

The way those pipe ends taper in from above just looked so sexy urchy. Loving ya work bro

[@Jagermonsta]

maybe try and keep the tank raw and have the extreme plasma logo etched into it?

[@mikeopenshaw9128]

Luvverly! Thanks as always for sharing Matt!

[@DRW58]

Hi Matt you’re design and fabrication skills are awesome, it was interesting to see the cross hatching on the foot pegs being done I’d always wondered how that happened. Looking forward to seeing it in paint, and if you’re saying it’s almost finished what can we expect next? Take Care Stay Safe Everyone Regards Dave

[@xxxxxxxxxxx82]

It's called knurling sir and I'm so envious that he has such a lovely little lathe to do that on, along with all the other stuff he can do with it.

[@atvseatexchange2176]

Amazing thought process and attention to detail.

[@mauriceeley621]

What about a front mudguard ? or will you not be using it in the rain?

[@DustinSeiger]

Do you have any plans to include extreme plasma’s logo on any components? Also since the tank is shaped like a coffin are you going to put tombstones and crosses as accents? Kinda go for a theme.

[@jritchiejritchie2687]

Looks simple neat and tidy... guess that's the key.👍 well engineered. It's a yes from me

[@hamishanderson8619]

Just a thought - Anodize the tank with the xtreme plasma logo in a contrasting color , not sure if the weld material and the sheet material might produce conflicting shades or not though , but I think it would look hella cool if you could pull it off!

[@JSG1901]

I'm not sure I even know how to watch one of these that doesn't begin with a clap and "What's up? Matt here from Urchfab..."

[@stevejansen7953]

You could etch the tank then anodize it with the logo?

[@iguanabelga8028]

It’s coming very very nice . Excellent job👍

[@kevinlyon9501]

Nice work all looking good, like the exhaust tips gives a bit of different look.

[@terrymalyon4117]

nice build but why is the side stand on the wrong side

[@podunk9798]

I honestly think its an England thing.

[@sidneywesonga1794]

Sips on some good content

[@finlay230]

great vid Matt, love the style and content as always !!

[@ISOTROPOSPHERE]

Paint the bike same color as the mongrel with the tank a cream white, accent pin stripes in red. See if your sponsor can do their logo in some old school font look.

[@PaulinesPastimes]

Was there a time before the plasma and the lathe? It's seems like a lifetime ago. So great to watch. Cheers

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Brilliant job Matt - looking sweet!

[@Dave-dg4ob]

I was watching a Boosted Boys the other day and the guy called Kyle was welding something up, I shit you not when he was done he said "like a glove" in the same way you do.

[@nighttrain1450]

Hi Matt. I have a feeling the reason you need a battery is because the alternator has an live feed to fire up the coils. Been a long time since I hade one of these so could be wrong. Loving your work .

[@alexpringle8466]

Love your work Matt as always. Would have liked to have seen the rear mudguard match the angular nature of the tank or something of that kidney - I reckon that old one looks a bit out of place now that you’ve done everything else ..

[@chrisskelhorn5727]

Nice one Matt! Those exhaust tips, can you let them revolve for a bit of thrust vectoring? :-) The headlight, can I suggest an outside coffin shape (echoing the fuel tank) with twin bulbs set on above the other for dip and main beam? Lastly, would it be easier to vinyl wrap the tank and rear mudguard? :-)

[@philtucker1224]

Matt, loving this build but I think the thread diameter and internal stud thread length on the footrests is too small and too short for the aluminium to be able take the weight of your feet for very long....bigger and deeper would be more durable in the long run I would say...

[@2ToneWalt]

Hey Matt, I like everything about that bike apart from the front wheel, I don't know if its the low profile tire or the style of the mag.

[@robertnesbitt8365]

Really think the bike would suit a smaller wheel and bigger tyre on the front

[@someonesomewheresomdeday]

2 things. I think the tank desperately needs to be a rounder shape. also, it seems like your rear brake bracket is only going to work at one chain length....

[@Farlig69]

Needs to be said but the side stand is on the wrong side - should be on the left. Also with those low pegs & non spring loaded you´re not gonna have much corner clearance.... And little concerning about rear brake caliper being fixed - what happens when you move the back wheel to adjust chain tension or chain length due to gearing changes?

[@piperdoug428]

Right off the pages of AWOL 1993 some upswept pipes with tractor flappers was the only thing missing, lol.

[@adeh503]

What's actually left of the original bike

[@MrCaprinut]

Lots of good fabrication in this episode :-)

[@grahameritchie8064]

What about a hand gear shift

[@SB-vb8ch]

Quite a bit of cantilever on those caliper mounts, coming along though. Are you planning on some form of baffles for the exhausts?

[@adman6380]

Amazing work as always Matt

[@andrewmarkham7355]

At the end I really wanted him to say send it for paint, powder coat and chrome!

[@steveveness3829]

G'day from West Australia, Matt😉 Looking good buddy, a bit more imaginary thinking, cutting, welding, test ride🙂👍👍

[@paultwood5170]

Great progress matt

[@shredBucketheadshred]

I dunno man is that backbone going with the flow of the direction?looks like the tank needs to point down to match the rear frame, just my opinion

[@grahamparr3933]

What are you doing with front brake?

[@gregworkshop5713]

hi bike looking good

[@LouJCS]

I would love to have that bike when your done.

[@koolkar55]

Genius

[@morteASH]

Just a quick question, I noticed you have a deep tunnel though the centre of the fuel tank. How are you going to get the fuel to the tap from the opposite side?

[@b1g1lz]

Lol, thats reserve. Run out then lean the bike over to access the last of the fuel

[@oikkuoek]

@@b1g1lz But the bike doesn't lean, because those pegs wont move.

[@b1g1lz]

@@oikkuoek Lol, sorry, I didn't mean while riding, I meant while stationary. Pegs won't stop it falling on it's side.

[@oikkuoek]

@@b1g1lz I bet they do. Even if you would lean that bike on it's peg, it would still have almost a litre of fuel in the pocket.

[@sjv6598]

Main fuel tap to one side, reserve tap on the other.

[@tuputamadre8212]

Y cuando tenses la cadena la pinza no acompañará a la rueda 😂😂😂😂😂 Eres un campeón 😂😂😂😂 Menuda chapuza 😂😂😂😂

[@derykjohnson5137]

Nic bike mate, if you need a man to do the air brushing the Steve Slight (joebys air brush art) is your man. In Wells Somerset..

[@kevinoneil7532]

when you adjust the chain, what happens with the caliper?

[@ChrisSmith-bw1nt]

Erm... Erm... Just add it to the rest of the problems with this unridable bike.

[@davidthehillbilly7995]

It's a show bike for a client. If it has to cover 20 feet under its own power, twice a week, it's been a rough week....

[@kramer26]

You could always think about having the tank and mudguard hydro dipped...

[@peterwall9896]

Low and loud I love it 😎

[@andrewharrison8782]

Looks good, but the mudgaurd brackets look a bit like meccano, maybe elongated holes to match frame would have been better?

[@jzab]

I agree. Perhaps a mount directly off the frame on the structure from the seat stays, like on the bottom mount but on the next bit up. I think I need a white board like Engineering Explained to fully explain it, LOL.

[@mikediamond257]

Awesome bike mate. You look like you’re in a comfortable position to do a long ride on it !! (Do a long ride before you hand it over 😁)

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great video. Wicked looking bike. Mahalo for sharing!🐵

[@ernieleithes6545]

Looking good matt

[@peterbonnez]

Coming on well, I like what you've done --

[@1one3_Racing]

I think just some pinstripes on the tank and mudguard would look good. I still really hate that rear wheel but I guess its correct for the style. Really wanted to hear the straight pipes. Cars and Cameras run a straight piped 750 4 cylinder and it sounds like poo. I might have done a 4 into 2. But its your bike. Looks good

[@intotheskyaviation]

Just a suggestion but why don't you plasma cut out the Xtreme Plasma logo and stitch weld it on the tank or something?
