Yup, thats pretty much it. Im going for a look of a 1900's motorbike, not any specific brand name. If you research the bikes from that era, often they were one off, or if there was a specific manufacturer, they might have differed from bike to bike. We're talking PRE INDUSTRIALIZATION. My imagined bike will be my attempt as something like that. Maybe some unknown bicycle manufacturer was trying to get into the motorbike market and built a couple of weird prototypes? Mine will also have a few small elements that will look like its been modified for board track racing. Ive seen a few vintage photos of 1900's-1910's motorbikes that have been retrofitted for a little more aggressive seating position and probably some engine mods that i can't see. Mainly BTR bars and seat. It will be an interesting looking bike and that's what im going for. I want to 'patina' the bike, just like Lurker did so that people might imagine Im riding great grandpa's barn stashed bike. If you watch Youtube for old turn of the century bikes running, there are a few vids of people who have found them, done minimal repairs and got them running and riding, just like they were found. to me that's cool.
