Vintage looking board track racer project

[davidberg]

Hi!

This is a project I started about half a year ago. I've been so long fascinated about board track racers and early motorcycles and started to look around to have one. Then I realized the prices and the conditions of these bikes (not to mention shipping prices: I live in Hungary therefore not so many Indians or Harleys running around...), and decided to build one.
She's basically a beach cruiser frame (heavily modified, first of all I had to learn how to weld) with a Chinagirl engine, a modified moped gas tank and many small parts just to look antique (eg. a carbide lamp retrofitted to LED front lights) and so on. It took me 5 months to complete, comments about it would be more than welcome!

Regards,
David

This is a really interresting build, it has a sort of subtle stem punk vibe going. I like it!

Very good looking motorbike. When I was in the Marines, one of my squadron mates was of Hungarian heritage. His name was Pacsai. He loved to play hockey.

Moped tank! Not to shabby!

Very nice. I love that lamp. One of those came up for sale recently on the New Zealand auction site, Trade Me. It was about $95 NZ which I just can't afford right now. It really adds to the look of your bike... but the whole thing is super cool. Well done
