CUSTOM BIKE BUILDING BASICS

Description

CUSTOM BIKE BUILDING BASICS Tips and Tricks for the Backyard Garage Mechanic.

Custom Bike Building Basics is the basic bible that at-home builders need to build and modify their own motorcycle. But first you need a place to work and a set of tools to work with. Chapter One covers these topics and more, including the need for a quality compressor and a decent motorcycle lift. Basic skill building is next, starting with Steel Fabrication and Welding. Grass roots bikes are often built using a “donor bike” as the foundation and source for the majority of parts. Chapters Four and Five offer tips on choosing the best donor bike. Once you have most of the parts, you still need a Plan. Chris suggests you put it all down on paper, whether it’s just notes or an elaborate sketch of the dream bike. Next, it’s time to Build a Roller. This could also be called the Mock-Up chapter – a chance to see how things fit together in the real world. The final topics are two that we often find intimidating: Upholstery and Wiring. With one chapter on each Topic, the mystery and fear are eliminated. 400+ photos.
