High guys, I finally got back to work and here are a few pictures of the frame going together. Dan Orabona of Taylar Motorbikes built the front forks for me, he did a great job. I built the wheels. More photos as I progress. Thanks for stopping!
My first build: 1912 Indian

This is goijng to be incredible! Especially if your following those schematics you have on the wall thaat well :shock:
Is it going to be just bike or is it going to have a motor in it? That big of tubing is pretty much just building a heavy duty Indian, might as well just throw in a 61cui. V .... 8) Jeeze 61 inches has to be crammed into those things, shows you how tiny they are, couldnt imagine taking one 100mph sideways, aired down tires, no throttle control, and no brakes. ...On a wall made of splinters :shock:

Thanks guys!
I will be putting in a Lifan 200cc motorcycle engine with a 5 speed transmission. I will have to license it as a motorcycle as I am expecting speeds up to 60mph out of it. I will post some pictures of the engine soon. I will be working next on the rear triangle with its upside down jackshaft setup per the original Indian design. You can seee the odd flat area at the front of the chain stays on my drawing where it will live.

This is going to be a cool build,i'll keep an eye on this one for i'am planning to build my own boardtracker one of this days. 
What kind of hub is that and where can I get one?
