Hello Motorbiker's!

[donsknr]

Hello people!

I am working on my first build... a 52' Schwinn Panther. Me and my brother both started our motorbikes at the same time... he just finished his about a week ago and I still have at least a month to go. I will post some pics soon. I bought a motor from motovelo, I have an expansion chamber from SBP's, I have the RT carb from dax, the MM head... should be pretty wicked when it's done...

Anyway, I enjoy reading all the info and posts. I am so glad there is a place like this on the web with such an active group. It has influenced my purchasing quite a bit.

Hello MB'ers...

Well, here is a photo of the bike when I started with it. The second image is from yesterday 4/8/12 while I was trying to fit the motor in the frame. I am using a custom motor mounting bracket to figure out all the dimensions I need for the final motor mounts. With the Felt rims and the big tires I have it looks like i need to offset the motor about a 1/4 inch.

I finally finished putting the motor back together on saturday 4/7. I have used the MM Head... but I had to make some custom spacers because my studs were too long.

Well, apparently I don't know how to attach photos.

Ok, I am trying again to upload some images... I am crossing my fingers this post works.

Looks good, looks like you spent some money on good parts. What are you going to use for a tank?

 

[donsknr]

Well, here is some completed images of my motorbike. I have already wrecked the motor twice, and I am on a complete new engine. But I have learned it is a lot more fun riding it than working on it every weekend... so I am going to try and keep this one running.

[donsknr]

Thank you Dan & Wild Bill! I am real happy with it. I am slowly starting to gather parts for the next build... It is going to be a Schwinn DX frame to start.

Gotta have at least 3 MBs. The one your ridding, the one your building and the one your planing.

Great job. You took your time, and did it right. Now the big fun begins riding around, and showing it off to the world.
