board track build
« on: January 01, 2015, 04:05:24 PM »
so after my cb550 cafe is done, I want to make something just  stupid fast, bare bones and impractical, so I figured why not a board track racer with a jockey clutch, with a 200 cc two stroke dirtbike engine in it......my plan is to take a beach cruiser bike frame, chop it up, add some bracing, and obviously upgrade bearings and wheels and tires, and some suspension mods......anyone have a similar project??

 We welded on a couple in my shop. One had a henderson style tank. More bicycle than motorcycle but he's going for more motor recently. He likes to start with a girls bike frame and add the top bar. not sure why.
