well youve got a frame..no problem! :) Just need a motor. If you werent such a big dude... finding an old Buell for like $1-1500 ripping out the motor..(putting the rest back on ebay... getting about $800 back or so...) and an after market frame would be the way to go.. Actually it still might be.. looking at these pics.

some of those dude arent small. and all of those run the same engines as Buell/Sportsters.. and I got a line on a frame maker..make you any size frame ya need fully tig welded fro only $800...$600 if you only need it takced and you wanna finish the welds yourself (unless you got a jig/frame table I would pay the $200 bones) ;)
This is the way Im going!!! and here the EXACT bike Im building too..

that is the exact style bike I want dude.
getting similar frame for $800..and am keeping my eye out for a cheap Buell DONOR bike to use for a motor.. actually you can ALOT more form the bike too..like the brake calipers..front end..etc..etc.. actually Im sure he'll put any kind of motor moounts you want on the frame..so ANY engine you got will work..LOL
dude. I'm so copying/pasting those images... that's the exact bike I want. maybe only color aside - I don't like the red seat - that's... exactly the style I want.
I could care less about the seat as well....
hell thats an AFTER thought...LOL I like that clutch/shifter set-up...not sure how it would be ina practical set-up though...still 'sic' though. I just gotta keep my eyes open for that DONOR bike now..LOL
maybe some FK memebers here have a local hook up on a beat-up used BUELL (usually cheapies/cheapest)..in their garage or neightbor..used your 'clout' here to get these kiddies 'searching' Gerbs.. ;)
clout? dude, there's no clout here.
Whispers... have you done any electric conversions on bikes yet? I've been reading about a lot of them recently!
oh really? have any links dude!?Quote:

Ive personally NOT done either... I hate FI carbs... and havent had an old enough bike to convert from kick.
or are you actually talking about replacing the combustion motor with an electric one? If so..I have never even seen an electric motorcycle engine yet.

I hope your joking....
the MPG's is 'rubbish'..and the horsepoer is less than a joke. A stock HD engine come in at like 60-70 hp I believe... with no tweaks.
Dont get me wrong..I totally believe in the electric engine.....it is WAY stronger than any combustion engine (and faster)...just not practical or consumer friendly. and next to NILL for motorcycle stuff.
I guess that RIDE FREE moto for riders is gone...as well as the cross country rides...gotta be home to recharge! LOL
