Locostbuilders equivalent for bikes?
Steve Lovelock - 1/1/10 at 10:06 PM

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

Or search for metric builds on the net.

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

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.

Cheers
Steve
