Advanced Custom Motorcycle Assembly & Fabrication

by Timothy Remus

Overview

What started in the mid-90s when a few people decided to build "stock Softails" from aftermarket parts - because they couldn't buy one at the dealer - has evolved into a full blown industry. No longer content to build copies of stock motorcycles, today's builder wants a motorcycle that's longer, lower and sexier than anything approved by a factory design team.

Wolfgang Publications and Timothy Remus were there at the very beginning of the trend with their Ultimate V-Twin Motorcycle book. Today they're back with their new book, Advanced Custom Motorcycle Assembly & Fabrication. Part catalog, part service manual and part inspiration, this new book offers help with Planning the project, getting the right look and actually assembling that custom bike you've dreamed about for years.

Three start-to-finish sequences show not just how the best bikes are bolted together, but how the unique one-off gas tanks are shaped and then covered with candy brandywine paint. With 144 pages and over 400 color photos, this book from Wolfgang Publications and Timothy Remus offers the help you need to build your very own custom motorcycle.
