First BT Build

2dawgs · #1 02-16-2010, 08:05 AM

Hi,

New to the group and looking forward to sage advice.

Want to use the Halcyon frame/fork platform, either 6.5 hp Greyhound, Lifan V-Twin or Vanguard.

Not sure of engine mount, brakes, transmission, throttle control, etc. to use as well.

Would like to use member vendors if possible, Fire Belly, EZ Motors, etc.

I have done cafe racer builds, however, I know zip about this type of build.

Thanks for your thoughts on doing this right.
