How to Build an Old Skool Bobber

How to Build an Old Skool Bobber by Kevin Baas

Kevin Baas begins the second edition of his How to Build an Old Skool Bobber book with a little history, the history of bike building at home, as seen through the eyes of a young man watching his Vietnam-Vet father build a chopper at home in 1970. In his father's eyes, and Kevin's as well, the engine and frame should to be old skool - and genuine Harley-Davidson if possible - but the rest can and should come from swap meets, or the sweat of your own two hands. Kevin lays out the basics of bike building, starting first with the ideal components: which engine, which frame, and the differences in the various years. Next, things to watch out for when buying old parts, and how to fix the parts you do buy. Additional chapters describe brake systems, both early and late, tires and wheels, and frame geometry. Four complete start-to-finish bike assemblies round out this hands-on book. Integracar tries to give you a large scope of maintenance manuals. However service manuals may just be designed for alternate countries and the motorbikes developed for those nations. That is why not all maintenance manuals may be best suited for your selected motorbike.
