Re: Current Build Projects


New to this Forum. Love those Indycycles! I have average skills, so do the plans tell you enough to finish a project? Which donor bikes are easy to work with? Anyone know about the finish cost of a Indycycle minus the donor bike? I would get all my welding done at a shop, can they follow the plans without a lot of hassel?
My real concern is getting into a build and taking too long to finish and just giving up. I'd like to make this a winter project. I don't mind messing with the finishing touches as time goes on, but can I build a running frame Indycyle in my spare time over the course of 3-4 months? Thanks for the Forum. Like to see some more photos. Any builders in the Kansas City Area, let's talk and visit.

Hey Galley Skuker,

You recently asked what it was like to own and drive and Indycycle. Now I can tell you, it is fantastic! Mine is very fast, corners nicely, and I get 42 mpg.. I drive mine a lot, joy rides in the evening, car shows, to work, etc., so I can speak to how fun it is. It turns heads everywhere and it's a big hit at car shows as the 8 trophies it has earned will attest to. Hope you decide to build one!

Just rereading the posts and caught yours, i know this is a long ways from 2007. I have been told there are three finished and running on the road. I have an Indy Cycle completed in 2013 with around 1500 miles on it. If you want some pictures i can send them to you if you send me your email address.

Re: Current Build Projects


It's been a while sense I completed my Indy Cycle and have modified it with a 2004 Suzuki Hayabusa 1300R. The frame that i started off with was an Suzuki 1100k. I had to modify the frame to install the 1300R, but it does fit. i admit it is not an easy conversion. Along with the engine I also changed out the swing arm with a gen two. I also had to modify the arm.
 Using the Busa engine I was able to use the wiring harness, so almost of the install was plug and play, with a few exceptions. If anyone would like some pictures i can send them to you, just email your address and ill send some to you. [email protected]
