Written for the person starting from scratch and for the advanced builder this is an invaluable guide to building a motorcycle the way you want it to be, with all the projects you need to successfully complete your chassis. Each chapter contains full information on it's subject - the Frame chapter discusses rake and trail angles, listing the various types on the market. Current owners looking to upgrade wheels or brakes (adding a 300 tire to the back of a factory Softail, for example) will find a full chapter on each subject, with methods, advice, and step-by-step instructions fully illustrated. Containing the answers to many questions - is a six-person caliber better than a four-person, and is it worth the extra money? - and a listing of products that is invaluable. The two mock-up assemblies move, stage by stage, from bare assemblies to complete frames with drivetrain, wheels, and complete sheet metal installations - in short everything you need to build your very own, individual motorbike. |
