In the old days all a person needed to build a
killer custom motorcycle was a bike, a set of tools, a little know-how,
and a creative vision. But with the rise of the high-dollar, haute
moteur Gucci choppers, the true custom bike has gotten out of most
riders reach, right? Dead wrong. In this book Jose de Miguel, a custom
builder from way back, sets out to prove that those good old days never
ended.
In the clearest and simplest terms, he
shows readers how they can turn odds and ends found around the shop into
one-off motorcycle parts--and make a cheap, run-of-the mill custom build
into a drop-dead show stopper. Following de Miguels lead, along with his
straightforward illustrations, any resourceful owner with rudimentary
mechanical skills, a basic tool kit, and--most importantly--a modicum of
imagination can build the bobber of his dreams for less than the price
of a new bike.
