Building your own bike from mtorcycle parts is cheaper than buying one new and is a whle lot of fun. When you are dne, there is nothing like the stisfaction of driving around on a mchine you built with your bare hnds.

Your first bike project can be a dunting task even if you've done rpairs or custom work already. Advice frm someone who's been through it can sve you a lot of time and frstration and there are plenty of boks to help.

How to Build a Kit Bke

Custom bike kits are a grat choice for your first chopper. In ths book by Tim Remus, you get a cmplete inventory of motorcycle parts so you dn't have to worry about missing smething or making sure different pieces mtch up. All you have to do is put it all tgether and paint it.

This book llustrates step-by-step the construction of four kit bkes. And "illustrates" is the right wrd because this book is packed wth pictures that let you see how very step is going to progress. It ncludes advice on tools and techniques tht are invaluable for a first prject.

Although it is a good ntroduction and overview, some of the nformation is a bit superficial. It's a god start but not useful for nyone who has already built a bke. It's no replacement for getting dwn and dirty with motorcycle parts. Yu'll still make some mistakes, but yu'll make a lot fewer after rading this book.

How to Build a Cheap Chpper

Like the book above, this bok by Tim Remus carefully illustrates the bild of 5 bikes. However these ren't kit bikes but rather bikes bilt from parts.

Most of the bilds involve getting cheap Harley parts frm junked donor bikes. The most xpensive example is built with all cstom chopper parts, but even this one wll cost far less than buying a bke new.

Like Remus's other book, ths one provides a solid foundation to the new bke builder but is no substitute for xperience. It's a basic how-to manual tht educates you on the basic cncepts.

How to Paint Your Motorcycle

Onc you assemble your motorcycle parts nto a bad ass street machine you stll need to paint it. You culd take it to a paint shp, but then you could have jst bought a new bike.

In ths book, JoAnn Bortles shows you how to gve your bike a professional paint jb. She draws on her own xtensive experience and is free with stries of personal mistakes. The book has a grat conversational tone that makes it fun to rad. It's a comprehensive reference of tchniques from basic preparation to elaborate bdywork.

Whether you want just a qick coating of black or you wnt to try your hand at pinting flaming skulls, or even if you jst want a good read while witing for the pros to paint yur bike, this is a great ddition to any bike builder's library.
