    as in, not shitty harley engined 6 degree rake angled 200 foor long choppers, but ridable custom built bikes with one off designs etc? im in a LONG process of designing and building a custom bike, will build pretty much everything with the exception of wheels, tyres, lights gearbox internals, crank etc and maybe i will buy a motor, but i am planning something BIG motorwise, as i have access to a machine shop, welders, i can use CAD fairly well to design and test parts. im still in the early design stages yet, but i am taking design inspiration from: vincent HRD black ligthning, brough superiour, BMW telelever system, TFX engine blocks, and ducati trellice frames. like i said its a BIG project.
    still not decided at all on wheels and gearbox, ive got a rough design of the frame and some dimensions for the motor.
    will also be designing a blower system for the bike too as i want it to be a twin with more high end power

    yeah that guy is on here, look on the projects section, any input on what wheels or gearbox etc to use? i like the look of spoked wheels but not sure on the structure of them, i mean i know they get used for mx bikes, but this is going to be a road bike. i guess i should work out my crank HP before deciding on a gearbox, i was thinking of making a direct drive gearbox similar to a speedway bike
