Kawasaki Z1 Super Six Engine Covers - How its Made

In this video I explain how i adapt the sprocket casing to fit the wider six cylinder crankcases on my Kawasaki Z1 Super Six, and also how i made the extension to the starter motor cover from sheet stainless steel showing some of the techniques involved.

Men in sheds are what makes this country great. Pure genius.

Narrated by the man himself, Allen has a natural ability of how to explain various processes of engineering and fabrication etc. This man has a level of engineering skill that I've never witnessed before. His ability is stunning and the various engines and motorcycles that he has previously made are proof of it. Thanks for sharing this Allen👍.

Allen, you are a genuine genius with an unsurpassed talent for both engineering and telling an engaging story.

[chrisomalley]

What a fantastic level of ingenuity and resourcefulness. And to think that this is all quietly, (relatively), going on in sheds around the country.

[Banditmanuk]

Absolutely fascinating to watch, really appreciate you taking the time to show us how it's made.

[chriscrookson]

You make it look oh so simple Alan, and your calm and uncomplicated narration reinforces that idea. Now if I was to attempt this, the scrap bin would fill up really quickly! Thanks for a great video.

[Chris-khfm]

Described beautifully. It was like Jackanory for adults.

Thank you for taking the time to make this, good one handed fret sawing and camera work!

Love to see how you fabricated those crank cases, keep up the videos.

[MaciusSzwed]

Never in the field of mechanical craftsmanship has so much been achieved, by so few, with so little tools! Thanks for sharing

[splatts]

allen you are a genius love your workmanship

[hoost]

Watching this man work with basic tools in a shed put pieces together is amazing. Like I said, he is AMSR for gearheads👍

[brianwells]

Love this stuff...., the instructional style is really excellent and makes you feel you are "right there"..

Top class in every way.!

Must be so satisfying seeing the end result of a major engineering job like the engine. I'm chuffed with myself when I've serviced something as simple as my brakes or especially my first ever rebuild on my Rd250lc last year.

[fredfarnackle]

Great stuff! I loved the throwaway comment that "...you just file it until it looks about right..." Wonderful. Subscribed!

[nicksundby]

Cracking video, could watch these all day...

[astroboy]

Simply the best, an absolute joy to watch the master at work

[jimallen]

always a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work would love to see more of the build process. Thanks Allen

[rdaystrom]

Allen, Thank you for the wonderful video tour of that project. I loved seeing your place. As always I'm amazed beyond belief. I can't wait for the next one.

You are the Master King of the Land, ace machinist, you make lockdown worth while Sir, thanks Allen
