A Homemade 1940’s Replica Motorcycle
Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2020 1:27 pm
I drove to Longmont today and brought back this:
It was originally a Kawasaki 305LTD. I paid $200 for a titled frame. When I got there, the guy had some 'extras' and gave those to me too. So what do I do with this find? My initial idea was a bike inspired by a BMW R27 using a single-cylinder 350 or 500cc engine. Something that runs on points and has external oil lines, maybe even a separate gearbox. My second, though, an electric creation.
