Make a custom motorcycle seat cover!

-

 While I'm waiting for parts to show up (yeah, finally ordered!!!) I decided it was time to get going on the seat cover.

I am by no means an expert, or even a little familiar with making seat covers. I've done it a time or two, but this is by far the most complex cover I've attempted. I think it turned out pretty darn nice! It's not perfect, but if you're wanting perfect, you're in the wrong place. In these parts, we're rough around the edges! I would LOVE feedback from y'all especially if you have tips for me to use on the next one, because I'm sure I'll be doing this again! Thanks for watching!

Blowing a hydraulic line on an old tractor!

  Blast from the past- dug this one out of the archives! I apologize in advance for the filming and quality... But its funny. I've got a 1955 John Deere 60 tractor. It came with the house when I bought it, and the tractor hadn't run in a few years. It has an ANCIENT Farmhand front end loader on it. I had no clue what I was doing, but I got it started, and it seemed to run decent. Wanted to move it somewhere easier to work on so I tried lifting the bucket up, and it was working... until... Lets just say, WAIT FOR IT!!! #explosion #blowup #boom Check out my new shirts!!! https://www.teepublic.com/user/rusty-phoenix-motors Connect with me here! https://www.youtube.com/c/RustyPhoenixMotors https://www.facebook.com/rustyphoenixmotors https://www.instagram.com/dorkpunch_rustyphoenixmotors/?hl=en https://www.instructables.com/member/Rusty%20Phoenix%20Motors/ https://rusytphoenixmotors.blogspot.com/

Custom Handmade Vintage Style Motorcycle Parts- What do you think of my DIY number plates?!?

  I've wanted to try this for a while now. How do you think it turned out?!? I think it turned out fanatastic! Love it. Going to be using this process again to make more of these! It was actually pretty easy with some basic tools. Still need to polish it up and make it shine, but you get the idea! What other parts should I custom form out of aluminum? Kinda toying with the idea of building custom fenders, but I don't have an english wheel anymore. Links to the engine parts I ended up ordering!
