A project that I've been working on for some time,... I just got to a point that I wanted before I take it all back apart for detailing and paint. Check out the entire build at www.jockeyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49882
Totally Awesome. Nice build and video. Awesome stuff.
One of the nicest I have seen,,,, I have looked at many,,,, inspiring indeed,,,, Thanks Scotty in Alabama 😎
Parabéns pela riqueza de detalhes no projeto. 👍🇧🇷🤜
Obrigado pelo comentário.
what is your bike
fantastic!!
Hello Nice project, man.
Beyond amazing! Getting ready to build my own. So inspiring. Thanks!
Nice job. Music too loud. Needs narration.
Veeery nice work man!!
Beautiful ! Well done.
So nyce job man, is a wonderfull Traker.
Impressed.and inspired. Thanks
Who else thought the music was Boston's more than a feeling intro
Nice, very nice...awesome work..dream come true...I like so much this things about the old machines...the firsts motorcycles...but I am from Brazil, in my country the difficulties about laws and legalization this motorcycles made handmade so impossible... Congratulations and sorry about my poor Inglish.
Thank you for your comment. I don’t believe this would pass any of our inspection laws and is not street legal or licensed. Your English is better than my Portuguese, no apology necessary :-)
That is very cool..... A lot of work and thought.....
Appreciate the comment, thanks!
Nice work
Super travail, pour cette restauration.
Do you sell any of the bikes??..
Sorry, no I do not. This was a personal project that I thought about doing years ago. On and off I picked up pieces here and there that I thought I would eventually use but the parts just sat. Finally, in 2005, I decided to I better get started on it or else it would never get done.
Is it for sale?
👍👀 what size drive shaft or what is it? Where can i find one? I have a 58 Monark Super Deluxe I want to modify. Is that a bunch of spot welds, grinded down(between copper wire trim)?? Thats a killer bike you made! Much appreciation & thanks for sharing.
Thank you appreciate the comment. I don’t recall what size that shaft is. I bought it and the sprockets through McMaster Carr. Since the sprocket on the motor is so far out board to line up with the rear tire a jack shaft was needed. Not exactly spot welds just random MIG weld. After a mishap with my poor welding skills I liked what I was seeing and decided to incorporate it into different parts of the frame. There was no set plan or design other than some measurements I calculated off the drawing so I built as I went and change things when needed .
@@classic3spds McMaster Carr,aurora, OH isn't too far from here. Pretty cool. Is there a name or part # to that driveshaft? That 100cc engine, is it made by cdi? I've watched a bunch of these videos and I'm most impressed with yours. I loved the story you wrote on it too. The head badge journey, making its way back on. I like weld accents. Terrific work
The shaft is called a keyed shaft they come in a variety of diameters I do not have a part number. Obviously the sprocket would be matched to the diameter of the shaft as well as the chain size and number of teeth that you would be using. If I recall the jack shaft set up on mine is a 1:1 ratio. The motor is 100cc Lifan, Chinese copy of a Honda motor. I got a very good deal on it so that’s what I went with. Thanks again for the comments!
OMG I'm soooo surprised that the Indian motorcycle company hasn't asked you to remove this video, or at least remove the word Indian from this modified bicycle with a cheep chinee engine
why put that massive lower loop in the frame - then mount cheep chinee engine so high ??
Very well done project..It's just so lovely..!
дрочь !
Beautiful build ! Was nice to see a bicycle based chassis using an actual motorcycle engine rather than a 2 stroke 50cc clip on or a 4 stroke lawnmower engine. The 1 comment I have is the front fork, as I'm currently working on a project I was thinking of using one of the Monarch forks you used , but 2 friends who've built bikes warned me that the monarch forks really don't hold up well as the back forks aren't welded in good & can break. They both recommended the Sunlite Deluxe if I wanted a springer style front end. I would however think any issues w/the fork could be fixed by welding it in where the fork tube meets the triple tee as that seems to be the problem, they weren't welded in strongly enough. & hopefully anyone reading through the comments and thinking of building one will see this & realize that there may be an issue. TY for creating this video & sharing it with the rest of the motorized bicycle community, I think its a great build & I love how you did a re-creation of the exact board tracker frame. I wish you many years of safe & fun riding
Yeah everything looks nice and shiny but that engine is out of place af.
Wow! Nice bike..would love to see test ride.
What kind of rims are those?
Worksman, they make heavy duty industrial bicycles. worksmancycles.com
Love that "random weld bead" simulation of "rough forgings"! The effort expended on your build is obvious, and the results genuinely breath taking on a vid. I can only imagine how gorgeous it must be in person! Top notch build
I love it!! Really great. What type of bike did you start with? Beach cruiser?
Absolutely beautiful !!
Time well spent.
Came out great!!
Where can u get motor??? Hits 70?
It's beautiful, with your talent and craftsmanship you could easily build an Indian motor from this. I hope someday you do.
I know this is an old video, but great work! Really dig that "booger" weld and grind effect you did on some pieces . Gives it a primitive cast iron look to the gussets and whatnot. always love the Board track style, and yours has almost a steam punk feel to it. - Jim
What do you use for a rear hub? Beautiful Build!
Great work!!!
Shame about the shitty little engine.
shame you're a bitter tool.
Explain how you came to that conclusion then. This video isnt even yours so why do you comment on someone elses comment. And I've looked at the video again, and yes although the project is most excellent, the engine is most definately a piece of poop.
thra5herxb12s what's so bad about the engine just curious
Oh my, what a beautiful motorcycle. So many wonderfully crafted details. Thank you for sharing these pictures.
Hi all, it's been some time since I last checked in here. Thanks for all the comments good or bad, everyone is entitled to an opinion. Sorry I missed some of your inquiries over the years. This project was more about the build over anything else. I still have the bike sitting in the same spot it was where it came to life. Pretty much once the build was over the bike has been covered and stored. I really need to take some time and get it running again. I've started to have some issues with the paint bubbling on the tank in a few spots but no plans or desire to address them anytime soon. The key factor in any project is to have a vision and see it through, no matter how long it takes. I spent years collecting parts here and there, by the time the tires were put on they had already started showing slight signs of age. I had always feared that someday I wouldn't be able to acquire an all white tire and figured I better purchase them while I could..now you can find just about any color. This bike was something that lingered in my head for a long time, so long that I knew if I didn't start it would never get done. The Indian Scout head badge that is shown briefly was purchased a good number of years prior to starting this project. I knew when I saw it that some day it would adorn the front of my bike when I got around to building it. Years past and the badge sat in container in the garage just waiting to someday be mounted. Finally after all the pondering and daydreaming of having such a bike it became a reality that if I don't start it will never be. I had to dig deep considering I had never built anything like this in the past. I can remember countless days standing in the garage, looking at a blank canvas drafting ideas in my head...only to find that another day had past with nothing to show. Once I finally got started I realized that all of the days I thought were wasted in thought came to light. Idea's that had been tucked away in some forgotten corner of my head all seemed to fall together...some good, some...meh! we won't talk about those. Moral of the story is that you have to start, do your homework, stay safe and have fun doing it. Plans can always change especially when you're starting from scratch and without a blueprint....but hey! that's part of the fun. Once again thanks for all the comments....I really appreciate your thoughts and kind words.
Is that a lifan engine on that sportsman flyer frame
Yes it is a 100cc Lifan motor. Im not sure what brand the bicycle frame was that I cut apart for the rear. From seat stay forward to the neck was all hand built, the front forks are from a 50’s Monarch bicycle. I still get a chuckle out of one of the comments below about the crappy Lifan motor. I think I paid $100 for it on eBay at the time, it was brand new in the box. For appearance sake the motor really wasn’t the look I had planned but for the money it was hard to pass up.
holy shit, this is a gorgeous one!!! Amazing job
Linda
I cried at the end of this video! J/k nice bike!
Hey my man I really wanna congratulate you on ur build now thats atrue essence of of the american bicycle!!!!
What a BEAUTIFUL piece of work Ed. and the video time line is wonderful too. would love to see it running.
Congrats on the awesome build. Now it's got me thinking.
use a usa briggs n stratton. warriorcycles rule!
beatiful
Go to ebay look up 49cc or 80cc bike motor kit. $140 and your good to go.
yeah but there shitty unless you invest in a ton of after market parts
I like the bike accept them black bad weld parts. Should have grinded your mistakes down and practiced on scrap. I don't think you hide anything you made it jump out. Nice job on everything else.
what size jackshaft and sprockets did you use??
