Love it.. you all build my dream bikes.. very cool..

[@estuardogeovanycatesimon8995]

nice bike

[@AlwoodWick]

Thanks friend

[@DoctorMotorcycle]

Nice to see other 185 builds on here. People underestimate what a small bike is capable of. Sure the engine is small, but the bike weighs nothing! The 185 xl's and cm's are very capable bikes when setup for riding dirt.

[@AlwoodWick]

I totally agree friend

[@DoctorMotorcycle]

These small displacement bikes (

Thanks so much bro and totally agree with you!

Im also currently building my xl125 scrambler in my channel. Nice creation woods

[@AlwoodWick]

Thanks friend :) happy building!!

[@mumskieeserva856]

you always amaze me with your bikes sir! i have a xl125s but have a wiring problem

[@AlwoodWick]

Thanks friend

[@carlthomas3074]

Also, this bobber thing compares to the t-buckets of the 1950's, now these trail bikes are so rare it kind of hurts to see one get chopped, but it does look fun!

[@AlwoodWick]

I agree friend, but the customer really wanted to refresh something that was part of his family so we did our best :)

[@Night_Spirit_workshop]

Perefect Honda u made - brighter than original exactly!

[@AlwoodWick]

Thanks so much!

[@richarddiongsonph]

This is awesome! What a transformation. New silingan here! Looking forward for a colab hahaha. Cheers

Awesome! Blessings bro

Question: during winter. Do I put antifreeze drain the existing gas?

[@2kharley]

Love what u did to the bike..👍👍👍 Try kawasaki barako nxt tme...🤩

[@polychronos111]

Amazing job! Well done! Please tell me about the tank... what bike is that from...?

[@AlwoodWick]

thanks friend, you know I can’t remember where we got that tank from.

[@e_s.0848]

Never knew they made 185's in yellow. How did you make it monoshock?

[@peterparsons7141]

Did you say 116 hp ? Or 16hp ?... I’m am keenly interested in these smaller motorcycles, configures as scramblers,enduros. What I’m finding is a growing interest in these bikes, and they are becoming more expensive to find in nice shape like the one that you have in this video. I believe that these bikes will stand the test of time and look and tun great after another 40 years. The new stuff is all plastic and computers, the old stuff just runs.

[@AlwoodWick]

Should be 16hp :) these bikes are awesome and like you say has stood the rest of time and will continue to do so. Blessings

[@RhinoMotorsAbj]

Hi, putting a 18 inch front wheel needs to change the angle front fork and open it a little bit or I can keep the original angle? I'm talking about stability...

[@AlwoodWick]

Good point but stability was perfectly fine with this 18” front - runs really smoothly with no issues

[@IvanGarcia-pz4we]

It's looks like a taxi from Barcelona but anyway very good job. Congratulations.👍

[@AlwoodWick]

Hahaha I love that! Guess I better go and get some taxi rides in Barcelona in that case!! Thanks friend :)

[@NotAMotoVlog]

Why go with the low exhaust like that? Looks like it greatly affects ground clearance, might be hard to hop a log now

[@AlwoodWick]

He wanted it more for street than off road but I totally get what your saying :) blessings

[@NotAMotoVlog]

@@AlwoodWick regardless, good looking bike!

[@andresb2385]

115 hrsprs?

Slip of the tongue my friend during filming 😀

[@MotorTamizha]

Bro,how twin shock absorber can modified monoshock . Which place is accurate to fix the mono shock in body frame . Plss reply me bro

[@AlwoodWick]

its hard to do friend, you have to place it perfectly in the subframe to ensure it functions perfectly.

[@MotorTamizha]

@@AlwoodWick tq 😍

[@sonnycalzone7784]

Question: what is the ballpark on a budget ?

[@joshuanazareno8686]

And the rear fender and side covers

[@AlwoodWick]

good thought but felt the design flowed better with the new covers.

[@konsiatty.mahipuschannel5502]

Where do we find u in davao?

[@AlwoodWick]

hi friend, right now we are closed to any new projects - just trying to readjust with this new season we all find ourselves in. blessings.

[@carlthomas3074]

Beast? ...I'm thinking cute😍....in a good way, I have 2 of them! And yes all, drop the Franklin and call it 16 hp...116, not so much...

[@AlwoodWick]

hahaha yes i think thats the problem with filming without retakes! you are absolutely right, its more a mini beast but lots of fun for sure! a

Awesome!

1:05 "Got about 116 horsepower" What??

[@AlwoodWick]

Yup slip of the tongue my friend while filming - obviously doesn’t 😅

[@lowieagramon1275]

Is that for sale ?

[@AlwoodWick]

No it was for a clients build

[@1gempire2]

HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST?

[@TheFlemmo123]

I'm in the process of building a scrambler and its my first project bike. However I'm going pretty much the exact opposite direction of this build. I was under the impression that scrambler exhaust is supposed to go pretty tight down the side of the motorcycle for greater ground clearance, the shocks are often convertet from mono to the more classic dual shock setup. I'm sorry but this build is not what I consider a scrambler at all. You could have gone for a flat tracker instead maybe?

[@AlwoodWick]

hi friend. You are right, the standard build would have the exhaust go down the side as you have said but customer desired a different vibe. also this bike was converted to mono for more comfort as well and move away from the dual shock set up - again another customer desire. but you are absolutely correct, this is probably leaning more towards a tracker style. All the best with your build too! Have fun and ride safe :) blessings

[@durayenterprisesllc4440]

There's a skid plate...but you fabricated an exhaust pipe that hangs down 3 inches lower? Seems very impractical for a scrambler.

[@AlwoodWick]

you’re right friend, this was a customer design decision for aesthetics, knowing that they wouldn’t need that extra clearance for their style of riding, but yes if being used at its best, would need to re-route the exhaust higher up.

[@RogueBro]

116 hp bull crap. No disrespect but please get the facts correct. It's between 12-20 hp

[@AlwoodWick]

Well said friend -

[@michaelboltz6855]

116horse power and a top speed of 73 sounds abosolutly correct

[@NotAMotoVlog]

Definitely not 116hp, that's near the power my R6 puts down (it tops out at 156mph). Regardless, cool bike and glad he shared

[@Flatout56-o8k]

Yea 116 😂 never

[@formyfriendsofficial]

The kick stand. Use Asian wings or dirt bike stand those are lomger

[@AlwoodWick]

Good point

[@jjpamisa4876]

how much for build

[@Ryan_U_Spencer]

Swing arm must be longer

[@joshuanazareno8686]

You should have used the original tank

[@AlwoodWick]

did think the same at the start but the seat size looked out of proportion as it needed to be big enough for a 2 seater - the original tank has been kept as a memory from his father to hang on the wall of the garrage though!

[@marchanselman]

116 hp!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@unclequack5445]

116 Horse power? Sir your out of your flipping mind XL185s has about 10-12 Horse power period. Where did you come up with 116 HP ?

[@AlwoodWick]

You are Absolutley right amigo! Not sure exactly why I said that about this motor!! Must have been the heat here in the Philippines!! Thanks for the clarity!
