Ok so i ahvent updated this project in a while but in the last few days ive done a lot .these pictures were from a few weeks ago
heres what ive done over the past few days.i finished up welding the frame for the indian getting it ready to paint. I painted the tank and i like the colour its...
Ive not been doing much to the bike lately because ive been on holiday but ive made a fake tension arm just to give the bike the correct look :D and ive also been getting some of the bearings and pullys sorted out to connect the engine to the back wheel
Ive been doing some more work over the last week. Ive completed the tank mostly all it needs now is some body filler to make i nice and smooth
the inside of the tank is a smaller tank so it dosent hold a large amount of fuel
The side of the tank welded up
all the welds smoothed out
And...
I made some new handelbars and lowered the seat on the Indian. I think its changed the look of the bike completely. before the seat was too high and it didn't flow. The board track racer bvars make the bike.
So ive not updated in a while but ive done some more work over the past couple of weeks.
i made a fuel tank from a fire extinguisher :D with will fit inside the fake tank so i don't have to fill it with as much fuel.
I cut the frame so the drive wheel can fit
I think it turned out wuite...
Ive done a little bit more work on the bike. I haven't been doing much to it lately because ive been doing my GCSEs but now thats all over, ive got 3 months of doing nothing so i can get back to working on the bike.
I started making the tank. Ive finished one side and I think it came out pritty good for a first attempt. Im going to put a smaller tank inside this one so it wont need to hold as much fuel.
and heres somethign els ive done just to add a little detail to the bike
I was looking into drive belts and came across this leather section belt. has anyone used this stuff on bikes (board track racers)? i know that some of the original bikes used section belt like this but i was wondering if any replicas have used it.
Ive started work on the tank and ive got some mud guards for the wheels and ive mocked up how the pedals wiill look :)
ive also been working on some racing jerseys heres the Indian one that ive started
heres an original that i copied.
Just something ive been working on to wear when i ride the bike at shows. A replica of one of the Indian race sweaters that they wore when riding at events. Im also going to do the black and white version but i haven't yet got anything to do the letters with.
I also picked up a leather riding...
I made some racing numbers (or at least that's what i keep calling them) i chose 11 beacuse im basing the bike of a 1911 indian. I also added a few extra details to the engine:A fake sight glass,some extra copper pipes from the oil tank and attached the oiler to the tank.
