We spend a fair amount of time talking about motorcycle building here, especially as it relates to sportbikes. If you want to build a chopper, there are all kinds of parts and pieces available but when you start thinking about a sportbike, your choices shrink a bit. If you've ever watched one of the chopper shows, the first thing many of them do is unwrap the new frame that … [Read more...]
