I'm looking to do a modern board track racer for my first build. The rolling chassis... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MMW-HEATHEN-26-26-SUPER-BOARD-TRACK-RACER-/251052589479?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item3a73e681a7 is a mmw heathen with 26' wheels. I'm wondering how this wheelset will handle, does anyone have any experience with how this bike will handle on the street and cornering? I'm looking for function as well as style. Any advice is appreciated and if you know of any sites where I can learn more about this particular style please let me know, thanks.

Check your state laws if can fabricate frame from scratch before doing it, our state now prohibits making your own frame. It'll be ashame if your state prohibits fabricating frame, the information I provide useless! Anyways, here I go! First be able to set up a jig, proper way to shape the main and down tubes with continuous bends to avoid miter welded joints alone, too weak for load bearing, unless you add to the miter connections, bevel edge for weld penetration, but not before inserting slugs bent to miter angle followed with staggered plug welds. If the miter joints too close together that cannot do the slug process, recommend mandrel bending, and it will require mandrels shaped to the 1 1/4" square tubing that may still experience with 1/8” wall thickness some stretching and collapsing wall if bent too radical. There’s use of heavier wall thickness, packed with green sand from foundry, set up on jig for bending it, heat with Oxy-Acetylene torch, section at a time, to required bend. Another method,scrap the square tubing idea, bend by heating with Oxy-Acetylene torch the miters for the single downtube from solid square bar, but before bending, your friend have large and long enough metal lathe, drill out the center of the square bar to thinner wall thickness, and just before where you want the miter bends, drill for extra wall thickness to prevent collapsing when heated and bent at miters, that is, if you want to get down tube lighter!

The brake pedal still chromed steel, have Titanium plate to machine and replace it. Notice the exhaust pipes?

Just finishing reading the article on Dave Barkers Epic Knucklehead in Street Chopper Magazine and have to say a nice job and hello to some old friends that worked on the bike. Especially his Dad Jim and Steve (Shooter Benth). His dad helped me back in the mid seventies as I raced a sprint car out of his shop and Steve painted all my sprint cars back then. I haven't seen them in years, but just wanted to give a shout out to all of them and again a nice job on the Knucklehead. Hell I am an old man now, but still race non-wing spring cars and ride a HD 2010 Ultima.

It would take dozens of pictures and numerous pages to describe all the steps that were required to properly fabricate the titanium one-piece diamond shaped riser handlebars, so this is the short version! I enjoy working with titanium material for parts of my bike because of its superior qualities, mystique, tricky to work with, half the weight of steel, half as heavy as aluminum, twice tensile strength of aircraft aluminum, and a visually aesthetic tarnish resistant surface. To assure how the transformation is to take place with the titanium material, I spent a month of prototype fabricating machine cut steel risers clamped to 28” wide drag bar to establish correct angles, height, and length of material to be applied. I then brought in four feet of 1-inch round titanium solid bars in preparation to machine cut rather than TIG weld sections to make the transition from round for mounting grips and accessories to diamond shaped square sections meant to match the diamond shaped square tubing frame I fabricated early 1970’s. It’s another month, taking the titanium solid round bars and boring them out to lighten them that were the most laborious, yet nerve racking part of the one-piece handlebar build. Then, there is the process of CNC vertical mill machine cutting flat sides to transform sections of the round bar into diamond shaped square. I skipped the part of bending the diamond shaped square sections to the same angle on the drag bar without fracturing to keep this topic short. The bolts lined up with riser to triple tree, threaded and secured the handlebars in place, the TIG welded areas are brittle that requires stress relieving with the Oxy-Acetylene torch drenching the TIG welded areas with the blue hot flame, the dull red appears, an indication that the parts reached the heat treat annealed level. Upon slow cooling to room temperature, the titanium handlebar installed with grips and handlebar accessories.
