My Boardtracker : Post Yours Here.
- Thread starter flatblackkustoms
- Start date
Here is my first attempt, amatuerish but effective. Created a sensation at our local fly in in Kingsbury, Texas. Now several of our museum volunteers are talking about putting together four so we can have colorful old-time pre-great war races as an additional attraction (not really board trackers but conventional "homage" bikes, most of us are too old to lean over that much and our dirt road is pretty rough). A hoot to ride. Not only "passed" model T's on a dirt road but also a 1918 Nash Quad (one doesn't get to do that every day), could even stay up with our 1921 Triumph, OK they were not going flat out but it was still fun to pass 'em. Note the gas tank is just a cover over a rectangular tank, but the impression is still good. Passes the ten foot rule.

I built this back in November, and have been "testriding" it since then. It has given me absolutely no problems, it's been dead solid reliable and fast.
I call it "My Perrito" bcuz it sprays exhaust **** all over my shoes and leaves little puddles. but I love 'er. Needs a powdercoating,
Still designing the front springer fork...
My next project will involve a Worksman frame.

Husky frame, cut out the bottom and middle bars, replaced with 3/4" iron pipe and added a curved pipe for the engine mount. Moved the seat back with a plate, should have moved the whole seat bar back. New front forks, longhorn handlebars, added some thin sheet metal here and there. this was a rush job getting it ready for an event so the next one ought to be much better. Bike will be longer, probably will use the double springs on the next one. Might not use the husky again, might have been overkill using the industrial bike frame, certainly added to the cost. Her is a pic of it being driven by a living history german pilot. A lot of motorcycles were used by pilots as casual transportation. Everyone that rode it had that grin on their face.

I need to take a better picture of the "Tempus". I've grown fond of her, she's pretty. But I have to say, I'm blown away by some of the other bikes on here. You folks on this forum do fantastic work. You really do. Anyway, here's my humble addition:

mine today, pic taken with the mobile phone
Very nice. It looks amazingly like the Phantom EG retro/vintage boardtrack motorcycle, are you familiar with it? I love the forks, did you make them?
hey! glad that you like it!
No I'm not familiar with those (but I'll google it a.s.a.p. hahaha). The fork is the oldest part of my MB - it's from a NSU Quick (German motored bicycle) made way back in 1936!
here you can find more about my bike - what was the base frame, the fork, the tank...
