Starting on a new project, I have 3 350 engines built with kz440 pistons, so I'm going to do a series of 3 of these bikes, with a few different options, leather seat or race seat, headlight or fairing, paint or brushed tank. making the design mostly modular will make it easy to change the build...

We're laying out a new build to be completed late winter, hopefully it can go to the Handbuilt show if they have one in 2021. It will be a Triumph powered desert racer, these are the spoked hubs for it, took about 2 days of machining, could be faster if they were production, but not too bad for...

Hi there Do the Ton members! The Motoworks has been around this site for a while, but we're officially sponsoring DO THE TON now so I thought I'd give everyone a real introduction as to who we are. We're a custom bike shop in Rochester, New York that focuses on building high-end...

Anyone know what type of pilot jet to run in mikuni tm-32 carbs on a 2 stroke? I remember from somewhere that you want to run the type without the bleed holes? unsure...

I've been playing more with the idea of building a bike by entirely designing the whole thing, working out all the kinks, then building it directly from the model, I am close to finished with the design of this one, still playing a bit with the bodywork style etc. any thoughts are welcome. the...

Hi all, it looks like Shawn (slingshot) is not making hoses anymore, I used to get mine from him but due to the amount of bikes I was doing, opted to invest in my own crimper/tester. Since he doesn't seem to be around, I'd like to put myself out there as providing the same service, I didn't...

are there any artists and or designers, graphic, industrial, etc on here? preferably professional or with a degree? I'd love to have a few people to help critique some of my bike concepts before I get to thinking they're all that and a bag of chips.

What would they use for the liner? Cast iron? Could you just find a large enough pipe and machine to size? Asking for a friend...

Starting a new project with a new idea, I picked up a gt380 for free with a valid registration and want to use it as a design experiment to see if I can put some ideas I've had into one single project. The idea is really to conceive the entire bike before really building anything, my hope is...

working on designing some rearset hangers for the next ducati build, since the subframe isn't near the footpegs, I designed them so one end bolts to the crankcase and the other has a bushing that goes over the swingarm pivot rod (need to make a longer one too). machining that would take forever...

this is particularly handy when building things like swingarms, can be used with steel too, or any metal for that matter. I've also used it to bend 1/2" hollow aluminum tube for fairing mounts. enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/embed/WgrzMdh7pJ8

continuing on the efi conversion topic, I finished that engine, I'll try to remind myself to refresh that thread with all the info... but I've been spending the last couple months modifying the heads, I took my first ducati build to loudon to get my racing license and loved it but it really made...

I've been playing around with building a race frame for a my 900ss, and lightening it up as much as possible, I have access to quite a shop so I've been using Solidworks to study the feasibility of some different designs and how efficient and safe they are for a given weight. I've settled on a...

Just thought I'd start a thread, it'll give me some motivation to take some pictures. Should be a fun project.
