Default Halcyon Cycle Works

My name is Chuck and my bike is the Halcyon. I am new to the forum but not to the motorbike world. I have been building motorbikes since 2003. This is my bike. All hand built frame, forks, tank, bars. Nothing was used from existing bicylcles it's all from scratch. I hope everyone enjoys it. Please post comments or questions. I am enjoying the forum. There are many talented people on this site. I am so glad to see that there are other people that share my obsession. I just had to build one of these bikes because I could not afford to purchase a real one. The hardest part of the bike to build was the forks. They are a replica of a 1910 Harley Davidson leafspring style. It took me about a month to make the forks. It was about 3 months to build the frame and tank. Some small details are the custom hanlebars have an internal throttle, stich on leather grips, reverse clutch lever with internal cable, copper/brass fittings on the tank and carb. If there is anyone from Phoenix on this forum contact me. I would like to organize a ride, or meet at the Pavillions car and bike show on some saturday night. I usually go there from time to time. I take my bike or my 1956 Willys station wagon with the bike in the back.

As far as selling them, it is in the works. I have produced a few frames. I am figuring out what parts to mass produce and what to keep custom.

Thanks! I used 1/4 compression fittings and copper line. Yes it is the same parts you might find in the "Ice box kit" I just put them together sepperatly. It also helps that I work at ACE Hardware. I could give you a list of part that I used for the fuel delivery if you like. As far as the forks...Those were hard to build. We will have to talk more about those.

!HOW! Chuck i was trying to email you these pic's.

Have you seen them?

George Whitney removes the downtube and welds a looped downtube giving these worksman frames that original Board Track Racer look. Much cheaper to use the Husky industrial frame only $74.00 almost exact same frame as worksman, then of course he fabricates those torpedo style gas tanks for his Indian & Cyclone tributes for the Harley tributes he makes the box style tanks. His completed bikes sell for $1800.00+shipping & insurance and his rolling chassis less motor sell for $900.00+shipping & insurance. But he's not building them any time soon selling his house & moving to Florida.

Can you build this type of bike PM or E-mail me: krzndn121863@hotmail.com Thanks Joe.

Peace Crazy Horse!!!
