Burt Munro tribute bike (fastest Indian in the world)

[Lee Perry]

Ive been doing some research into Burt Munro and his land speed record indian,And im considering maybe making a replica/tribute build of his bike.Ive got some drawings that ive done that i will upload later.

im thinking about using a 5hp honda engine mounted in a custom frame on 24" rims. then building the outer shell from thin ply wood.

Ambitious project but an interesting one. Keep us informed, Lee. That would be an amazing build. Good luck.

Ive been doing some drawings trying to work out some sizes of things. I don't know when or if ill be able to start this project but im really getting in to it.

I tried to draw it in "2 scale to get an idea of how things might work

At the moment were working on clearing up the garage and trying to get rid of a few things so i dont know when i will get around to staring the build.
