Locostbuilders equivalent for bikes?
Hello,
Vaguely thinking about the project after next and wanted to do some gentle research but don't know where. Essentially I want to build my own
bike from the remnants of a 4 cylinder jap bike and a VFR rear end. So I need a locostbuilders web site for bikes, any ideas?
Happy new year
Steve

The best for that sort of thing is www.performancebikes.co.uk
www.rgv250.co.uk 2 stroke bikes in the hybrid section
Look in the projects section.... A whole load of thought goes into most of them, not just tat and bling like on the chopper sites.
I've done a fair few myself before getting hooked on doing a car

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Thanks for the web sites, I'll check them out.
The Avatar is George who went to bark in the sky last month, he was lovely and soft as foam (except when he came across the postman). It is not that
big! There is a new addition to the family but he hasn't earnt his stripes yet so George remains

Sorry Steve, I didn't mean you should take the avatar down or anything - but I could understand the post man being a bit wary
Cheers

Hi Mark,
Nothing to worry about, I wasn't bothered by the comments.
