Custom Bike Building-Advanced
Custom Bike Building-Advanced takes all the building advice presented in Custom Bike Building-Basics and gives the reader more, including information on how to equip your shop, tips and techniques for welding steel with your MIG or TIG welder, sheet-metal fabrication forming sequences, information on making your own handlebars and exhaust pipes, help with making a custom leather seat cover, and more. What hasn't changed with this new book is the author - Chris Callen of Cycle Source magazine fame. The book is written for riders working at home and in small shops. You don't need a big catalog of aftermarket parts, you only need this book, a small set of tools, your own imagination, and the drive to see the project through to the end.
Like the Basics book, this one includes three, start-to-finish bike assemblies. And like the previous book, this one leans toward the earlier Harley-Davidson powerplants - Knuckleheads, Pans, Shovels, and Ironhead Sportys - all built on a budget by real people with a little grease under their fingernails.
