    lowrider turns drag bike

    I already posted this in the "builds" category, but I forgot that there was this category "bikes with motors." so for you guys who only come to the bikes with motors category, here's my drag bike. It started out as a Bratz lowrider that i put the engine on about 3 years ago. I got bored with...

    lowrider-turned-drag bike finished.

    I got my 20" drag bike finished (it used to be a lowrider). I got the exhaust all welded up and wrapped with header wrap to give it more of a drag bike look. I'm just waiting on the custom chain guard decals to come in the mail. I took it for a ride a little while ago and wow, it is a blast...

    making some changes to one of my bikes

    well, I kind of got tired of the lowrider look of my stingray so i decided to take it a whole different direction. before: I got rid of the ape hangers, shortened the clutch and throttle cables, and removed the headlight. I added a caliper brake to the rear wheel because i'll be riding it...

    not really a rat bike, but here's my latest project

    This is a Giant stilletto that I got for free a few months ago. it was in really bad shape. The frame had a lot of rust on it, the tank, fender and chain guard had been painted blue with a rattle can. the sidewalls of both tires were blown out, the front rim was shot, and it had some bmx bars on...

I just painted it this afternoon with aztec gold flake, with a little yellow and pearl dust mixed in just for fun. you really can;t see the flake or the pearl in this lighting, but in the sun you can really see it. they just...

    drag bike

    This is my latest build, it's a Giant Stiletto. I've added a 700 C polished aluminum front rim with black spokes with a super skinny road bike tire. The back wheel is an aluminum 24" er with black spokes. The rear tire is a Hoggy G 3.45" wide slick from 3-g bikes. I added an old 5 speed stick...

    My other bike, old school style stingray

    Here's my other bike. It's a newer repro stingray style frame. I painted the frame metallic purple laquer and clear coated it. I painted the gas tank with pearl white laquer and clear. The seat is metallic white, the rear tire is a cheater slick, and I chopped both fenders. The chopped sissy bar...

    here's one of my bikes

    I built this last summer, but it's more than just an occ chopper with an 80 c.c. motor bolted to it. I made a lot of the parts, and modified/customized parts from other bikes to make it all work. The gas tank is from a jesse james chopper and it's fully functional. I smoothed out and re-shaped...

    Hello from Indiana

    I'm from Southern Indiana, and i recently discovered how fun it is to build bikes. I have built 3 bikes over the past couple of years, 2 have motors and one doesn't. I'm not sure how well a bike with a motor on it would fit in here, but i think you'll like what i've done. I'm looking forward to...
