Homemade Motorcycle Project (local)

[dougla_boy]

A good brethren of mine has been working on a little project for some time now. Below are some pics and a vid of the start up. He is a mechanical engineer (i think eh, lol) and this was just something he wanted to do. Just sharing so hopefully somebody will get inspiration to do something like this also!






























Homemade motorcycle start up. Gx160 modified engine and 2 speed gear box. Everything on the bike is custom built as resources are very low where i live and very expensive. I am not a professional builder and this is my first ground up build. Please rate and comment and ask any questions you like. My father is the one doing the start up.

Nice project! There were some similar looking bikes at SEMA that were made from "scrap" metal. Not sure if Bacon have pics of them, but I'm sure they will help to inspire you.

edit: Not "similar" but you know what I mean

great project, but form looking at the metal work, it looks like she will be on the heavy side for those wheels.

I had a friend, Errol John, now deceased, who put a Vespa engine on a bicycle frame, was very fast, then whe we were preparing for our 'Around The World' trip made a frame using 1" hollow section,and used a Honda Dream engine and rear suspension, with a Triumph front end, it handled really good until I crashed it in Guatemala. He was a mad genuis, built open wheel formular type car with Renault engine gear box, then modified a Renault with Gull Wing doors, reclining seats, you were positioned like you almost lying down, was the first man to put a rotary engine in a Mini, rear wheel drive. When he came back from the US he started modifing VW's in to Dune Buggys, he was also one of the first to start widening steel rims locally, he a a mazda wrecker with four wheels in the rear, also one of the first to put a V8 in a Toyata jeep. Trinidad & Tobago has a lot of talent, tell you friend to keep it up,

this isnt the first thing he did...lol....he took a lawn mower engine and put it on a bicycle.....then he went on to this.....man is a crazy dude.....and he learns the sheit outta stuff before he goes into it.....when i get more updates, i will post !!!

[Kongorealm]

very nice! keep us posted...did there connect the drivetrain since the startup video? Is he sure the wheels can take that load of the frame and engine? Also, it looks like it only has front brakes, once he does not play superman this should be a fun project! Good luck to your buddy.

i thinking of building a motorbike with a RB26DETT and this just made my dreams burn with more passion.

just remember, if ppl could put a helicopter turbine in a mortorbike then we could more than make our dream cars from scratch

Looks like a nice toy to have some fun with....Well done....

RB...Nah.....I did not take pics....Wanted to but was on a mission when I first came across it and never made it back.
