Indian Board Track Racer

[davidrau1917]

After viewing this site.... I decided to try my hand at building an Indian board track racer. The tanks and frame took a couple of days to make, but it took another couple of weeks to finish the paint work. The graphics were hand painted by a friend of mine.

Doooood... that's pretty sweet!
You should re-post this in the "pics & videos" section so people will see it!

 

[Easy Rider]

Now that's one heck of a bike! Your buddy did an awesome job on the graphics.

David, you did an excellent job in capturing the essence of the Indian. Very nice job on the dual forks. How does the bike run with the exhaust as you have it?

 

[Bikeguy Joe]

Nice! Looks just like my first build....

 

[Ilikeabikea]

That is really a sweet looking bike. Makes me want to get started back on mine..............

 

[Retmachinist]

Wow, that is sweet. I love the tank! I thought the tank on my winter build was sweet, but you have mw beat with that one!.........John

Dang, that's hot. In fact that is the nicest board track replica I have seen yet on these boards. Good job and a contender for sure.

I'm so jealous of talented people

Thank you everybody for the kind words !!

 

[TexasDav]

That is a great build. I love it!

how loud is it with the pipe like that ?

 

[mabman]

how loud is it with the pipe like that ?

That is a pretty obvious question isn't it? LOUD as it gets.

 

[the_edge150]

i should have thought that question through. i'm guessing as loud as when you run it WITHOUT a pipe

Beautiful work. Is that a monark fork?

 

[chipmcluk]

Beautiful work. Is that a monark fork?

Not to interject, but I'd say yes. I used the same fork on mine.

David,

Beautiful bike, you make it sound easy....like you threw it together over a weekend.........

I've got good restoration skills (Cars, bikes) but no fabrication experience. I would like to learn how to fabricate a bike like yours. I am willing to invest in Welders, brazers, tubing benders and notchers etc.

Can you offer any suggestions on where I can learn how to do bike/motorcycle frame fabrication along with the gas tank, springer front end etc.

Also, the engine appears to be a chinese two stroke....or is there a 4 stroke out there somewhere that has this small vintage single cylinder look. (Gotta be LOUD if its a two stroke)
