New motorized project?

[iRide Customs]

It's been a while since I have posted anything custom so I thought I'd get something going. Here's a copy of a thread I posted on aother forum. It would be cool to motorize this one, hmmmmmm........

It's been a while since I have made a "kustom" bike and I got the urge the other day. Here's the new one I am working on for my brother as a gift. He was once a pretty good AHRMA racer (second in the nation in his class until a gnarly crash in California ended his season) and his dream bike is a '74 Falta red frame CZ.

Here's a preview of the VERY ROUGH, very early stages of the build. It needs to be tweaked a bit.

I like where this one is going!

Super cool! WoW!

Thanks. I don't know if I am happy with the frame design yet and I may make a new one. I plan on starting on the tank this weekend and will be making it fuel worthy should I chose to go motorized.

It's gonna look like a dirtbike so it HAS to be motorized

That's going to look pretty sweet once it's done

If it comes out anywhere close as good as your board racer did, it's going to be nice. I like how you build the frames to match the funtion. It makes such a better bike all around. Keep the pictures coming of the build and have fun.

Well, I think I have decided to keep it a pedal bike. Here is a copy of an updated thread on a different forum..

As I was saying before, the pictures you saw were very early in the design process. I played around for a while in the shop today and made a few tweaks to the look of the bike. It's slowly coming together more like I wanted. I am still up in the air about the phaux exhaust but I think it needs to be there to complete the theme. I only made some very subtle changes like adding about an inch or so to the fork, re-designing the rear fender skirt, raising the rear of the tank and swapping out the front fender for a little beefier one. Such small changes make such a huge change IMO.
