Vintage motorbike builds

[Tim the Skid]

Very nice, I want to build one some day and am loathe to use one of those Chinese 2-strokes. There are some decent 4-Stroke engines available but I like some of the engines you are using, what are those?
What I really want is a small, modern V-Twin.

I don't want to highjack this thread with all the build details, but this is a 4 stroke Honda motor from a pressure washer that has been ported and relieved. The cylinder head cover was fabricated from an old air compressor to make the engine look similiar to a Royal Enfield.

I just bought a 1973 Indian ME100 delivered for $350. It will be in line for a custom rehab. After all the other antique motor 2 wheelers. Already bought some New Old Stock killer parts and accessories.

This is a project that was started by a local fabricator/machinist who sold it to me in February of last year. I'm in the process of adding a few things and making cosmetic changes. After a high speed run yesterday, adding a front brake is at the top of my list. :sweatsmile:
