Authentic-ish Harley boardtrack build (any input?)
- Thread starter bird
- Start date
The bars are just a pair of schwinn cruiser bars upside down, I was planning on doing something a little fancier along the way.. The drop stand/rack is from an early 20's Excelsior-Henderson.
Sure thing, ill take that puppy apart and get some pics in the next few days.
Not much trouble so far. I want to fit it with a brass-bowl carb besause the rototiller style one is a historical eye-sore. On sunday Im making a few trips to pick up a belt and some more odds n' ends. With a little luck I can fit the kick starter within the following week so I can post a video soon. Unfortunately, extending the frame made it too low for pedals.. Floorboards all the way!
Very close to finished. The chain, sprocket, belt, and tires all arrived this week. I always thought fake valve trains looked kinda tacky, but iv'e leaned a little on the hypocrite side^_^ I am very pleased with the outcome!

I love the fishtail exhaust! And the front leaf-spring fork. And the tank. Heck, I love your bike. Keep the pics coming.
It's two pieces of bar stock welded to some boxed sheet metal, and bolted to the top of the engine. (perty solid)
Man Bird that thing is sick! Can't wait to see that monster running. I love the suicide shift, that's just brilliant on a bike like that. Have you thought of a name for that beast?
I was thinking of painting something on the clutch cover when its done.
some ideas..
"rat trap"
"junkyard special"
"mothball"
"tumbleweed"
"barn burner"
"gnarley davidson"
Basically anything rustic or ratty sounding!
