Hi again Craig great to see you working through things lovely gentle video making something simple but with some improved design. Is be tempted to paint incorporating the logo stay well and be safe

[@steverone7623]

Apparently you can add soap or beezwax to a cut off disk and help it from loading up

[@peterwilson6449]

Polished. D H C engraved in it and waxed,

[@trevwalker8987]

Have you had tattoo referbs?.

[@elmerfudd1086]

That front plate is beautiful. I'm surprised people aren't buying them from you like your hard tail frames. It really is a big improvement over the original part.

[@michaelgreenhaf6624]

Have royal Enfield painted on the front in the centre of the new bracket that area is screaming for it Just a thought Michael Greenhaf from Merthyr Tydfil

[@GrahamWP58]

watching you craft something out of a flat piece of aluminium is a learning experience. Great video as usual and thanks for the health and safety tips!!! Stay Safe Craig

[@tiffinthyme5822]

Hello Craig, pleased to see you upload the video this morning, glad I am not the only one can’t sleep! You make the work seem simple, which is a sign that you are very skilled, accuracy being very important aesthetically. The little touches you add to the bike make it stand out. Great work, cheers Kevin.

[@TheOldRogue]

Great job and it looks loads better than the original too. Simple ideas look so easy and make such a difference, however making one isn't as simple as it seems :P

[@some_random_garage]

Polished the alloy headset panel and then get hepcat to paint the the script enfeild in the burgundy paint colour

[@eugenepatton3584]

Nice work as usual. Loved the Mexico T shirt !

[@philmorrow2446]

nice! as usual!! but no mind changing in this episode?? slipping there, mate!!🤣🤣🤣 might be nice painted cream as a counterpoint to the burgundy. this is going to beanothrr cracker from the dog house!

[@deandee8082]

like I said, better and better each bike, when you roll and curve those bits they wont whistle in the wind

[@ianwright40]

Your work rate is impressive. Just editing video can be a full time job.... I wonder if that cover you just made would hold a Royal Enfield badge? Would need to be subtle, maybe a transfer.

[@THEDOGHOUSECUSTOMMOTORCYCLES]

Thank you Ian, not much sleep when doing several videos a week and keeping the shed work going. I actually have an idea for a badge, the badge I would use is quite expensive but it would look fantastic, I’m certainly thinking about it.

[@Shinysideup]

Imagination and a lot of skill.

[@kevingeary1563]

Another quality video Craig. Some lucky sod is going to get a cracking bike. Have you ever given thought to fabricating a tank mounted hand shift mechanism ? it would look sweet on that.

[@davidwhite9293]

Good morning Craig nice job well made m8

[@henryhartley9993]

Nice one Craig, really enjoying this build....

[@Peter-qt7oj]

Good job but wot about hiding bolts behind the new panel so it's got a smooth looking front

[@STEVEBLACKA]

Love it as usual .. sticker arrived safely x

[@alexanderpacciofaetz2135]

Good morning Craig like me you're up early doing a banging job as usual keep the spirit up it's nearly holiday time enjoy your time away just remember to breathe it's all good mate

[@jonathanharvey4879]

How many others were shouting at the screen while you were saying "something round, something round" and looking at the lingering shot of your bench grinder ?

[@andrewjohnson4475]

It’s coming together well

[@drlvp]

Thanks

[@THEDOGHOUSECUSTOMMOTORCYCLES]

Thank you Robin

[@TheOldaz1]

New cover looks great, bolts look orrible, maybe dome nuts or something else. Maybe mudguard mount could sorta replicate the exhaust bracket?? Thanks Craig.

[@THEDOGHOUSECUSTOMMOTORCYCLES]

Bolts are temporary till I’ve done some nice ones on the lathe

[@stephenfrancis1418]

Wow bracket looks great. Great workmanship Craig 👏👏👏👌

[@robertadams4415]

Looks good mate

[@gregphillips.1312]

Ohh err 7"? I could help there as a measuring stick, but that's not an offer!, you're on your own with that curve! 😂

[@brandonmaley6737]

Match that with the bracket for the tank...

[@gerrypowell2748]

Impressive yet again👌👌👌master of simplicity❤️

[@markparry5722]

Time fôr work so i will enjoy this afterwork with a panad! :)

[@bananabrooks3836]

For me, paint it body colour, presuming the fork shrouds will be too.

[@GTMarmot]

Learned a lot

[@stevedunford7466]

A are you not worried a out cracks starting at those shares internal corners?

[@NatsNackersYard]

Great stuff as usual mate.

[@andball7369]

Great content thank you

[@roberthocking9138]

Paint it burgundy and line it with a cream coloured line, 😬👍

[@THEDOGHOUSECUSTOMMOTORCYCLES]

Definitely going towards the burgundy idea

[@johnkinnane547]

G’day Craig amazing how you shape metal, I’ve only criticised once in one of your builds. But I have to say I don’t like it, to me it doesn’t look right. Would it be better it it just strait for an insignia just a thought regards John

[@derekdingwall]

👍

[@waynebroughton5047]

Every grinder I’ve bought never came with a guard 😂

[@imoldgreg13]

🥳

[@peterthomas7203]

Great job as ever Craig! I plan to make some side panels in alloy for my little Yamaha Bobber and you have given me ideas and tips for how to shape them as the frame ‘triangle’ is not a flat plane. Would you recommend 1mm or 1.5mm thick alloy? Cheers 😊

[@THEDOGHOUSECUSTOMMOTORCYCLES]

Thank you Peter. The alloy I used was 2mm, I’m not sure what grade it is because it was given to me with several off cuts, at a guess it’s probably 1050, some alloys are not very good for shaping as they can start to split then you need to anneal, even that can go wrong if not done right, maybe get hold of a sample to try before buying.

[@peterthomas7203]

Thanks for the advice Craig. I will do some research as I have zero experience! Cheers again.

[@pauldenniss5230]

I appear to have a daughter like yours 😂😂

[@JamanRooney]

Supp

[@theprojectcollector7260]

May I note that the part looked much, much better without the bold holes.. can you find another way to fix them? Your work seems so ruined by them. You know I like your work.

[@poljames7492]

Hearing the word "Imminent" at 05.00 doesnt help my brain

[@andrewbull3537]

At 12.26 minutes you said that you was looking for something round ,you could have used a small fire extinguisher 🧯. But the tin would do . Peace out ✌️
