While digging around looking for interesting motorcyce parts I came across Riwi Products in Innsbruck, Austria. It looks as though they make a few different things like wheels and forks but the part they seem to be promoting the most is their single sided front fork (or front arm, can't be a fork with one side, I guess). Anyway, it looks interesting and shows one more variation … [Read more...]
Motorcycle Builders – Bob Horn
Bob Horn sent in a couple of photos of a motorcycle he built back in 1991. As soon as I saw them, I knew I'd seen them before and, sure enough, the bike was featured in Motorcyclist magazine in October of that year.

The description on the Hanebrink site (no longer there) pretty much sums it up: In 1971 "Cycle News" publisher Chuck Clayton asked Costa Mesa, California … [Read more...]
Motorcycle Builders We Are Looking For You
We're looking for a few good builders. It's no surprise to readers of The Kneeslider we have a bias toward motorcycle builders here, or any builders for that matter, who take the initiative to create their idea of the perfect motorcycle or car. Among these creators, not everyone is equally skilled in all areas and sometimes their talent is focused in one segment of the process … [Read more...]
