Book Synopsis How to Build a West Coast Chopper Kit Bike by : Mike Seate
Download or read book How to Build a West Coast Chopper Kit Bike written by Mike Seate and published by . This book was released on with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a step-by-step guide to building a West Coast Chopper's C.F.L. kit. Kit choppers are hot commodities. While few people can afford to buy a custom-built chopper from one of the high-end builders like Jesse James-bikes that often sell for $100,000 or more-many can afford to buy such bikes in kit form. Because of this, all the high-end builders sell their creations in kit form. For example, while Jesse James might build perhaps a dozen custom bikes per year, he sells hundreds of chopper kits. The same is true of any number of other builders like Matt Hotch, Cyril Huze, and Paul Yaffe. Authored by Mike Seate and featuring the photography of Joe Appel, this book is a step-by-step how-to guide for anyone building a kit chopper.

Book Synopsis How to Build a Bobber on a Budget by : Jose de Miguel
Download or read book How to Build a Bobber on a Budget written by Jose de Miguel and published by Motorbooks International. This book was released on 2008-02-15 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the old days all a person needed to build a killer custom motorcycle was a bike, a set of tools, a little know-how, and a creative vision. But with the rise of the high-dollar, haute moteur Gucci choppers, the true custom bike has gotten out of most riders’ reach, right? Dead wrong. In this book Jose de Miguel, a custom builder from way back, sets out to prove that those good old days never ended. In the clearest and simplest terms, he shows readers how they can turn odds and ends found around the shop into one-off motorcycle parts--and make a cheap, run-of-the mill custom build into a drop-dead show stopper. Following de Miguel’s lead, along with his straightforward illustrations, any resourceful owner with rudimentary mechanical skills, a basic tool kit, and--most importantly--a modicum of imagination can build the bobber of his dreams for less than the price of a new bike.

Book Synopsis How to Build Motorcycle-engined Racing Cars by : Tony Pashley
Download or read book How to Build Motorcycle-engined Racing Cars written by Tony Pashley and published by Veloce Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are aspiring to build a racing car, How to Build Motorcycle-engined Racing Cars could be the book that you’ve been waiting for! Tony Pashley revisits the path that he took in the Pashley Project articles in Race Tech magazine during the design and construction of two successful hillclimb cars, but this time in great detail, with a view to enabling the reader to carry out a similar exercise for themselves. Although hillclimb and sprint cars are the focal topic, a lot of the book is applicable to race cars in general. The cars under discussion in the book are powered by motorcycle engines, which are meeting with great success in the smaller racing car classes. The total process of building a car is described, beginning with the selection and procurement of the engine. Chassis and suspension design is covered in a simplistic but adequate manner as the author’s aim is to minimize the inclusion of involved calculations. Two recipes for chassis construction are illustrated in detail, along with guidance on the processes of construction and a description of the required equipment. Following on from this, the fabrication of the suspension is explained. Further chapters are dedicated to the remaining aspects of the vehicle, covering transmission, brakes, fuel and coolant systems, and electrics. The book is heavily illustrated with 200 photographs and extensive explanatory diagrams and tables. It is a vital addition to any would-be kit car builder's library.

Book Synopsis How to Build a Cheap Chopper by : Timothy Remus
Download or read book How to Build a Cheap Chopper written by Timothy Remus and published by . This book was released on 2014-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Build a Cheap Chopperwas originally written to give chopper builders of the day a way to build cool, functional choppers for cheap money. Instead of building bikes out of a catalog, readers were encouraged to combine a donor bike with an aftermarket frame. With a Sportster or Metric bike as a foundation, and a hardtail frame, a complete bike could be assembled for less than $5,000, sometimes much less. Today, there's a whole new generation of riders looking to build simple, functional, unique choppers and bobbers based on everything from a 200cc Honda to the old classic Shovelhead or Panhead engines. No matter which drivetrain they choose, there remains the need to build bikes that work, bikes that are safe to ride, bikes that are fun! How to Build a Cheap Chopper- Revisedstarts with a look at the basics. The first chapters cover brakes, drivetrains, and frame geometry. The second half of the book shows readers how to actually assemble a bike. Four start-to-finish assemblies done at professional shops take the reader from a pile of parts to a finished, running motorcycle.
Book Synopsis How to Build a Pro Streetbike by : Mike Seate
Download or read book How to Build a Pro Streetbike written by Mike Seate and published by . This book was released on with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether it's a big-bore, high-end custom sportbike you're after, or a naked, bare knuckles streetfighting drag racer, this book has the goods for getting you there. In three different scenarios, the nation's top builders give blow-by-blow instructions for completely rebuilding three popular streetbikes -- from performance modifications and exhaust systems to flawless finishes and detail work. Focusing on highly customized Hayabusa drag bikes, including a slammed and lowered Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa, John Dantzler of the Charlotte, North Carolina, shop Two Wheel Customs outlines the suspension and engine modifications that the serious street and quarter-mile racer can make. He takes a salvaged, late-model four-cylinder street machine and transforms it into the kind of machine that both professional stunt riders and corner-carving enthusiasts favor. Next, author Mike Seate covers the details on constructing and installing popular modifications -- everything from engine crash guards and wheelie bars to motocross-style handlebars and bikini fairings -- while stunt riders and streetfighter builders from the United States and Europe weigh in with tips and advice. Last but not least, the builders at Wisconsins Patrick's Performance and South Carolina's Coastal Motorcycles provide a step-by-step account of the construction of two high-end custom sportbikes -- transforming a Yamaha YZF R-1 and a Suzuki GSX-R 1000 into the kind of machines that are eye-popping everywhere-on the streets or on the motorcycle show circuit.
Download or read book Cafe Racer written by sam adnerson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What building a Café Racer Really Means Successfully building a café racer-in this case also known as a rat-café, since we'll be doing it on the cheap, means creating a bike that is really light, handles extremely well, and on a tight, twisty mountain road, could outperform virtually any vehicle on the planet. With enough piloting skill-and we'll get into that later-you can keep up with an even beat someone on a bike with much better horsepower. These bikes are built for tight roads, and what that means is that you get a big advantage over a guy on some crotch rocket big sports bike. Even with their horsepower advantage, you still win. Here's why: the bike is lighter, and with lighter rims and tires, it can flop over onto its side in a full "battle lean" faster and easier than anything short of the highest-end (and highest-price) regular bikes out there. This doesn't mean you should go out and challenge everyone to a race, however, since the advantage won't be huge. But on a tight, twisty road up in the mountains, it's enough to impress and occasionally embarrass a new pilot on a much better bike. And if you drop more than $3,000 on your bike, then it's a fair bet that you did something very wrong. These bikes can be done cheaply and easily. That light bike means not a lot of heavy, expensive parts. That's what success looks like in the case of building your own café racer. When you go for rims, go as light as you possibly can. This is really important when it comes to creating a really high-performing canyon racer café bike. Read through to a later chapter for more details on this. Your carburetor should be a well-tuned factory model-you'll usually want to go for a CV, though in this particular book, we'll go into some serious detail on carburetors, so stay tuned. Even better-and remember, we'll go over this more lately on-some sort of round slide or flat slide carb. If you're on the small side, or even an average-sized pilot, you'll be able to get away with something as small as a twin 350 cc up to a 500 cc, or maybe a 500-650 single cylinder motor. This means about between 35 and 45 horse power. If you're a larger rider, you might want to try looking for something more in the 65-75 horse power range. This means a bigger twin, or something along the lines of a 4-banger engine of about 650 up to 750cc. This means you'll want to get a classic air-cooled four-cylinder as opposed to something more modern, like a water-cooled super sport motor. One of the biggest things about these bikes is the cosmetic side. Everybody can tell a café racer by the classic, retro outfitting. They all have a similar look, even though each one is a little different. The café racer is not just a bike. It is a lifestyle, and that is often the reason why it is so important you build your own. This bike is an extension of your personality, and it should reflect you in every way. It's important to remember that there are not many rules when it comes to building your café racer. Most of the stuff that other people are doing involves trying to imitate what was done in England when bikers took their father's motorcycles and turned them into their own style icons. This means you can turn just about anything into a café racer. That's part of the point. It's really up to you.
