Custom Bike Building-advanced - 9781935828747

Custom Bike Building ADVANCED takes all the building advice presented in Custom Bike Building BASICS and gives the reader more, including information on how to equip your shop, tips and techniques for welding steel with your MIG or TIG welder, sheet-metal fabrication forming sequences, information on making your own handlebars and exhaust pipes, help with making a custom leather seat cover, and more.What hasn't changed with this new book is the author - Chris Callen of Cycle Source magazine fame. The book is written for riders working at home and in small shops. You don't need a big catalog of aftermarket parts, you only need this book, a small set of tools, your own imagination, and the drive to see the project through to the end.Like the Basics book, this one includes three, start-to-finish bike assemblies. And like the previous book, this one leans toward the earlier Harley-Davidson powerplants - Knuckleheads, Pans, Shovels, and Ironhead Sportys - all built on a budget by real people with a little grease under their fingernails.
