I absolutely love these bikes particularly this one. I've wanted to build one for years now and your videos have really helped me with some struggles I've had trying to brain storm on making it work. I hope more content and coverage comes of these beautiful builds of yours I absolutely love them and cannot get enough of them.
you know its good content when I'm in the workshop and watching at 4am in the UK. I use wood stain on my builds after paint. it dries quick and hard wearing. followed you on Instagram. keep up the good work chief
The supply chain has been a little tricky lately. I’ve been having to buy those parts off eBay because one source can’t keep them in stock. Message me via FB Messenger and I’ll try and send you some links. EDG Classics. Thanks!
I would love to see more board track racers... maybe try doing a flying merkel ? Just an idea... I love your work and it’s really making me want to build something cool!
@@mikehasuga4959 you can send me a message via FB messenger. You can find me under EDG Classics. Just know that I usually make the tanks once I have the frame. Sometimes even the slightest differences in the frame dimensions will cause the tank to have to be make specifically for that frame.
Hello Steve. I love your bikes and videos. I have an indian btr with a 196 that I've had since December and I can't get the carb to idle down no matter how I adjust it. I've had 3 different carbs on it and I'm lost. What carb do you use on your 196? Also, what do you use for the motor brace mounted to the front of the loop? Thanks again
Hello Daniel! Thanks for the kind words! I’m sorry about your carb. I’ve had the best luck with the Honda replacement carbs. They have a few more adjustment capabilities thank the stock ones. It’s hard to determine why your idle won’t come down without seeing your setup but could you possibly have an air leak somewhere near the intake or an air vent plugged/capped off? Those would cause an issue with the idle for sure. As for the braces, I usually make my own using miscellaneous metal and made specifically for the engine and frame I’m using.
Great bike, lm want build a similar ,do you can give me the link the name to buy the front suspension in ebay,and how can bend the pipes, in thd fra.e ,lm look to diferents ideas thank you.
By the way the gas tank is spot-on looks really cool before looking at your videos I was thinking to do something similar with the knobs but I'll look around at different board tracks models and see what I like Harley-Davidson looks amazing but that's not the type of bike I'm building at the moment
@@mozezcen-valley7555 thanks! I make the tanks myself. Take your time and I’m sure your tank and bike will be great! Be sure to post pics or a video of your work!
I’ve seen plenty of other builders use the Briggs engines. They are very dependable and you can easily make one work on your frame. I’m sure a few minor adjustments will have to be made but you can definitely make it work. Good luck!

Youre freaking awesome with your attention to details.👍

I wish youd make more videos like this! I eat this stuff up! I appreciate your honesty with how they were built! BUILD ANOTHER ONE! 🤘😁
I’ve built a number of them. I just didn’t make a video for each one. I need to make some more though. Thanks!

Great video Steve, love your mentoring and input on the Facebook group Boardtrack Tribute Society
I appreciate that! I just wanted to help inspire a few mew builders and maybe share some different ideas for the experienced guys. Thanks again!
@@EDGClassics My buddy, Jeff and I are on our own builds. I'm also restoring two early Simplex cycles.
@@mikehasuga4959 I love those early Simplex bikes!!
Great job, great little video mate.
I would love to see more board track racers... maybe try doing a flying merkel ? Just an idea... I love your work and it’s really making me want to build something cool!
I like this bike. Nice paint job.
I use a hockey stick tape for handlebar on my bike.
Thanks! I still want to put a video together on the way I get the patina look.
love the concept hope mine turns out half as nice as yours . waiting on parts but I'm anxious to get started . i want to make mine belt drive
That’s great! Keep us updated!
Good job! Stevo!
Muito bom teu trabalho amigo parabéns
Superb!
Would it be possible to get a basic parts list with parts suppliers that you used? Frame, fork, wheels etc. thanks.
Source for the gas tank. Great bike.
I make the tanks myself from sheet metal purchased at Home Depot.
@@EDGClassics Are U selling them??? Send me info and contact info if you are.

I did not bend the frame tubes. This frame was made by Harken Cycles.
Where do I get a frame like that? Im running a preditor 212cc motor.
This frame came from Harken Cycles. Moto Madness also make a good frame.
How do you build your frames to use old bicycle frames or do you make it from scratch
By the way the gas tank is spot-on looks really cool before looking at your videos I was thinking to do something similar with the knobs but I'll look around at different board tracks models and see what I like Harley-Davidson looks amazing but that's not the type of bike I'm building at the moment
The frames I use are NOT bicycles frames. They are build specifically for these type of motor bikes. This frame was made by Harken Cycles.
@@mozezcen-valley7555 thanks! I make the tanks myself. Take your time and I’m sure your tank and bike will be great! Be sure to post pics or a video of your work!
I dont want to use the honda engine. Do you think a Briggs and Stratton 5hp engine would work?
I’ve seen plenty of other builders use the Briggs engines. They are very dependable and you can easily make one work on your frame. I’m sure a few minor adjustments will have to be made but you can definitely make it work. Good luck!
Were you getting frame at ? Are you making them ?
It depends on the bike that I’m building. This is a Harken Cycles frame.
Yo Mr G.
👏👏👏👏🇧🇷👍👍
excuse me,what type of engine is it or was it.?
On this bike, I used a Honda GC190. I’ve used the GC160 on other builds as well. Both engines have worked well for me.
Frame? Worksman, harken, sportsman?
This frame was by Harken.
do you sell a roller?
I’ve sold bikes I completed before, but never a roller. I’m.not opposed to it though.
what flywheel are you running
It’s a GC190 stock flywheel.
Let me ask you this question ❓❓ did it come out the way you picktued it in your mind
It turned out better than I expected. They are fun to ride and people love checking them out.
