I hand make motorcycles and other pieces for cool, unique, one of a kind decorations/desk art. Most are built with at least some of the metal being recycled from motorcycle/engine parts. The first one I made just to see if I could and so many people loved it and wanted one I started making more. I plan on just updating this thread as I finish builds (so subscribe...I may build something that is relevant to your interests). If you have a suggestion for a build you would like, please let me know, I'm not going to promise I'll build it, but I'll absolutely consider it. I build these as my spare time allows, so custom builds can take a few weeks to finish. Jan 2013: Nov 2014: My first build. Check the last pages in this thread to see my newest builds. Before bead blasting: Here's a previous build (it's already sold, just giving you an idea): Here is a KTM Dakar bike I'm currently working on too (this one will be forsale shortly).
The KTM Dakar bike doesn't have the body work on it yet.... I can turn it into a dirtbike with different body work.
Very nice. Time to show this to the wife with a big hint for Birthday present. Turned that v-twin into an opposed twin.
I think it's going to be really cool, such a recognizable bike and it's the bike that comes to mind when even thinking about the Dakar. I may have to make a base and include a bag of sand to dump on it.
I'm hoping to be able to knock it out this weekend, but I'll let you know. I still have a few hours to go on it.
Pictures from the builds. Dirtbike: Yamaha Banshee: Possibly on fire here: Definitely on fire: V-Twin build:
I certainly think I can! I've actually been planning on building one for my next "theme" build, they are such a unique design. I'm going to start working on one (they can easily take 3 weeks to finish because I build them in my spare time and that depends on what my loving wife and two kids give me ).
I'm literally designing them in the shop right now. Hoping to get some major work accomplished on them this week!
