Good Morning Everyone,
Back in February I posted an animated shock rebuild video that was well received here at Vital, and I'd like to thank everyone for watching.
I have now begun the long process of doing a full animated bike rebuild series on an old 1993 KX250.
Every rebuild begins with the disassembly, so please enjoy watching this neglected old machine fall to pieces.
At some point I'll start a build thread to document this project and draw from the collective knowledge of Vital members. Updates will also be made to my Instagram if you'd like to follow there.
The majority of views on my first video came from the members of this site, so thank you everyone for that!

If only there was a site that could sponsor this, and pay you to do more. (HINT HINT)
Cant wait for the next one.
The Shop
Surely there is a part manufacturer that could showcase the "how-to" install video in such a cool way.
Just think of the free advertising for them - a how-to video on installing a new set of forks, and then the video itself gets shared around just cause of the cool factor.
Congrats, man - that was impressive.

After my first video Race Tech got a hold of me and is on board for the next video. At this point I'm a dude with very little social media following and my videos take months to make, so I'm thankful to them for rolling the dice to work with me. Particularly that they didn't make any special requests and just said "do your thing". Thanks Race Tech!
Hopefully the time spent to make difficult and unique videos will pay off with views eventually. I'm not really interested in doing the standard YouTube hustle that I find so annoying.
No green suit for my videos, it's mostly wires from overhead that get masked out later. For this one I actually had a rail made from unistrut overhead so I could easily move things out of frame.
Pretty damn cool and you did a fantastic job editing that.
Mike, Hillsboro.
I would do another one similar to your shock rebuild one using a different part obviously. Show the variety of what you could do. I know these aren't easy to make, but if the cost was even close to reasonable, you could have part manufacturers lined up everywhere for this.
Heck, I know NOTHING about maintenance, but after the shock video I thought "This is the coolest visual way to show me how things go together".
Good luck.
PS - the part where the forks bounce off screen was my favorite - that's the part where I went "How in the HELL did he do that?" :-)
