Advanced Custom Motorcycle Assembly & Fabrication Manual

by Timothy Remus

Overview

What started in the 1990s when a few people decided to build Softails from aftermarket parts - because they couldn't buy one at the dealer - has evolved into a full blown industry. Today, every small town has a custom bike shop and every motorhead wants to build a Bobber like the ones they see on TV. Wolfgang Publications and Tim Remus were there at the very beginning of the trend with their Ultimate V-Twin Motorcycle book. Today they're back with their new book, Advanced Custom Motorcycle Assembly & Fabrication. Part catalog, part service manual and part inspiration, this new book offers help with planning the project, getting the right look and actually assembling that custom bike you've been dreaming about. Three start-to-finish sequences with builders like Donnie Smith and Dave Perewitz show not just how the best bikes are bolted together, but how the unique one-off gas tanks are shaped and then fit to the stretched soft-tail frames. With 144 pages and over 400 color photos, this book from Wolfgang Publications and Tim Remus offers the help you need to build your very own custom motorcycle.
