[droid740]

I can see you finished the bike. Are the videos being edited or are you just over it?

Hope to see the ending.

[jackstandf]

[berkelusa]

@jackstandf - NOPE! not yet..

[gtolover1000]

[jmichelsen3]

Nice work man, very creative. can't wait to see how it turns out.

[NASTYTHEBOY]

[Mrbigbeardan24]

just watched all 53.....awesome series!!!! thanks for takin the time to share your project with us........54?

[DrFelonious]

Gah!...Just watched all 53 straight and stiff dunno how it turned out!

[crackawise]

dang bro your a caster too?!!?!? you rock indeed!!!

[skin5011]

I like what you've done so far but it seems like a lot of work for a small bike like a 250 why not a 650 or larger, I'm building a 450 Suzuki for my daughter she's only 4'11' so that will be plenty big for her and I had a 250 Honda waiting in the wings for my wife but My son wanted it back, I think he wants to fix it for his wife, I really didn't have time for it anyway, I'm really interested in what your bike will look like when finished, nice work!

[berkelusa]

@skin5011 - Two word.. "Why not?" or "It's there"

[skin5011]

@berkelusa I love the bike, whatever turns your crank

[droid740]

More than a little impressed at your metal foundry set up. Metal is Godly!

[mazdawg78]

thats awesome. i just watched all 53. such attention to detail. i likey

[raynesdanimal]

Great stuff, I built a 82 cb750, I got a rigid roller for about 600 and the motor for about 250. I built it in about a month, after watching the patiance of you guys and your attention to detail I think I will have to start over and take my time. And really do everything right. Thanks and dont stop know you got people depending on you.

[originalzombie1974]

Can't wait to see how this turns out!!

[bunburycioso]

[kentmocc]

cheers

[easyhermoza]

I'm looking forward (as I'm sure many are) to the end of the "red baron".

I'm sure you've heard it said many times before......... but, strong work. Very nice vids... keep'em coming. 

[utoh50]

That design is sick! I would give my left leg to have half the talents that you two have!

[berkelusa]

@utoh50 - Thanks!

[berkelusa]

FEAR NOT PEOPLE THE CHOPPER WILL BE BACK - IT HAS GONE NOWHERE.. I HAVE 4 KIDS AND A DAY JOB WAY AHEAD OF IT.. BUT ITS STILL AROUND.. -Rob

[SsjSned]

[simon1211]

[housetrash]

[4364dodge]

[crewvtx]

I've been watchin' for a while, love the project can't wait to see it complete

[curranb79]

Looks awesome--thanks for the videos, I've learned a lot. Any more progress? I want to see this thing in action!

[alexhsg13]

54?

[rpl4pike]

FREAKING COOL, WOW. A SERIOUS PROJECT

[latinlingo801]

thats sick! can't wait to see the finished project!!!

[bunburycioso]

hey guys when is the next vid come out you two are doing a great job congrats!!!!!!!!!!

[morkanemor]

Inspirational stuff guys. I have a bunky '97 Rebel that has had a hard life. Now, where did I put that grinder?

[1212sman]

What...Kids? Uh, no thank you, but I appreciate the offer. Although you appear to be trainin' 'em young, like bird dogs. The one seems to be real useful for fabricating stuff.

As for brutal winters: I gave those up a loooong time ago. Portland OR is as far north as I'm ever gonna go. It just rains a lot here. Ain't nothin' quite as miserable as working in a bitter cold shop. And you can't hear the music with a space heater roaring away.

[tatoo765]

looks real detailed do you guys do this for a living?

[bimmerboy82]

Great job guys! Love all the custom work being done yourselves. I have a '73 Honda cb750 Bobber that I'm doing as well, thanks for the motivation to keep on it.

[berkelusa]

Thanks.. Hanks a master of his craft.. I get to play camera-man and jump in once in a while.. together were a team and make what you see.. -Rob

[SsjSned]

just watched whole build man its lookin nice im subscribn and givin ya 5 stars man very cool

[ChevyK3500]

the suspense is killing me!~!! more video's! or did i miss something along the way?

[berkelusa]

This is a two-guy project.. we also both have day job's.. the toy garage is rented and doesn't pay for itself and neither do my 4 kids.. (maybe they should pay? hmmm) -Rob

[ChevyK3500]

no prob... i know how it goes. still trying to get my cm400t running right along with the CR480R i just bought. the wait will just make the next 50 that more enjoyable!

[edge4422]

Whew, glad to see these videos again! I was getting worried with the gap there for a while.

I'm working on a Nighthawk 250 myself (just trying to get it run, no chopper for me)  and these videos have been a huge inspiration.

[berkelusa]

Thanks.. Let's see s a Video on yours!? -Rob

[1212sman]

Where'd you get your furnace/crucible?

I've done some sand casting but with other peoples' stuff.

[berkelusa]

Hank built it from a round grill and welded up his own Crucible.. email him! -Rob

[haichid]

I think i speak for everyone here when I say get crack-a-lack'n on that bike. The vids are awsome, Im looking forward to the finished product.

[berkelusa]

Thanks.. Were on it ! - But we both also have DAY JOBS and Rent / Mortgage to pay.. Aaaak ! - the slower it goes however the more CUSTOM DETAILS it will have... -Rob

[jdsprince]

Custom work is my day job... Check out WhosYaDaddy !

[KelleyMag]

In 3:56 .. does he work there or is a thug .. can't tell ..

[jdsprince]

Evil Thug Genius, get it straight ! hehe ;)

[berkelusa]

( insert eye-roll here ) LOL

[KelleyMag]

Ohhh .. a thousand apologies, oh ROYAL EVIL THUG GENIUS SIR ....

[berkelusa]

That would be Hank..

[KelleyMag]

That's him all right - Hank The Royal Evil Thug Genius (or so he keeps telling me ...)

[empler]

Nice work! looks wicked!

[mechanicojoe]

dude! that looks awesome!!!!

[bernbo]

That's wicked watching molten metal being poured, it never gets old. It must be very gratifying doing work like that. You guys rock! 5 star

[berkelusa]

Indeed.. and anything you want can be made.. 2D or 3D.. If you have a plug.. you have a shape.. Just wait til you see the future pegs/running boards.. Go look for the elevators on a Fokker DR-1. The pegs will probably be machine gun barrels..

[bernbo]

I checked out the elevators on a Fokker DR-1 what a great idea for floor boards!

and machine gun barrels for foot pegs , enough said . Awesome!
