It's why this forum was created.

Welcome Doc Ziggy,

I am also new here. I just completed my 1st build. If you are mechanically inclined and have basic tools, building a motorized bicycle is not that difficult.

In 2006, I purchased a brand new Harley Davidson Heritage Softail Classic which I modified and turned it into a 1948 retro Harley. Now I'm into building motorized bicycles.

My Harley biker buddies all made fun of me when I built my motorized bicycle. Now some of them want me to help them build a motorized bicycle. I like the old school look and my bicycle build replicated that of a 1903 Harley. I actually had more fun when building my retro looking motorized bicycle than I did when I pimped out my big ass Harley:)

Many of my friends and neighbors ask me why I like building motorized bicycles. I simply tell them that when completed, they are a piece of art:)

Am now in process of building a "Captain America" tribute motorized bicycle.

Am using an Orange County/Schwinn Stingray frame. Am gonna chrome it just like in Easy Riders. One of the biggest challenges on this build will be the 45 degree dual exhaust with fishtail ends on the pipes:).
