If you feel the need, go for it. Make sure you stretch the frame with stout tubing. For take off and hill climbing, do have to do your homework on gear ratios. If you want gradual acceleration but hill climbing ability, small to tall ratio is the way to go. If you want a damn rocket like my rat...

After welding, I noticed something. The bike looked kinda...short. So I checked the wheelbase and... 45inches. The wheelbase was supposed to be 52 inches. This meant, awww sh... So, I cut, grinded, beveled, and welded in 7 inches the top tube. It did not turn out too bad besides welder problems...

I coped the ends and welded it in:

I'm back with updates, over the past two days, I have gotten a lot done. I got my top tube bent with my tubing bender:

You know what this means:

Howdy everybody; I know its been a while. This summer was epic, won to trophies for the rat rod, have a bunch of builds backed up for the winter, I'm basically know around the world. This summer is started a build for a friend, he saw my bike at a show, so, he wanted one himself. So, after...

Alride, ladies and gents, I'm back with some updates. Since this will be my first production bike, I want to do it right. Though I don't have the elaborate tools and machinery that some people have, I'm going to build this bike from how I learned (thank my grandfather for this,) the old school...

How are y'all, its time for another board track racer build. Except, only this time, this is going to be the lowest and fast BTR that I'm build to date. Now I know some people wandering, is he making his own frame, where is he going to get his wheels and tires from, and where is his engine...

Yea Dan is awesome, from my experience with the 212cc, it has some get up and go power. I've built some BTRs, good choice with the .120 wall but try .095 wall too, builders use it to build car frames all the time. As far was wheels and tires, the closest that you will get to motorcycle wheels...

I got two new ones too:
