The frame, with time, eventually becomes the rolling chassis for your motorcycle. Since this tutorial focuses on salvaged parts, visit a yard close to where you are and modify it according to how you’d like your bike to look. If you are, for instance, building a chopper, you need to modify the frame by changing the head pipe joint at the point where it is attached to the top from rail smack on the front frame down tube. By altering this angle, your frame will look more like a chopper’s.Īnother alternative is to change the body so that it is fat around the tires and long along the frame.

Remember, modifying is a mock-up process that will have you putting different pieces together to get a better feel of how your motorcycle will end up looking.Īfter changing the shape, add the triple tree where you will mount your handlebars and shocks. Once the triple tree is in place, go right ahead and install the brakes, rear and front tire, and shocks. Your frame will become a rolling chassis after it has working fenders, rear and front brakes, rear and front tires, front suspension, front wheel, rake, and the frame. Once you’re done making your motorcycle frame mockup, the next step will have you installing the parts that will make your bike run – the engine and transmission. There was a cinema hall in the outskirts of Bapatla, which used to play old Telugu and Hindi movies for a couple of days each.īut m y pleasure to watch Manna Dey’s song on the screen however had to wait till I came to the third year of my graduate studies.


It used to allow us to walk in even in the middle of the first show and remain in the hall for the second show till you saw the missed part or however long you liked to be in and this suited us, the hostellers, well. On one night, I along with my roommate went to watch Chori Chori.

And Lo! My pet song was right on the screen. Aaja sanam madhur chaandini mei / hum tum mile toh wirane me bhee aa jayegee bahar… and obviously, all of us jhumne la…ga with excitement and as Nargis continued … kehta hai dil aur machalta hai dil / more sajan ley chal mujhe taro key par / lagta nahee hai dil yaha … our dil got fixed to the soothing sound bytes off the screen. As we finally settled in our chairs, there came that other evergreen melody, indeed an ode to love: Yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayein / utha dheere dheere voh chaand pyaara pyaara.
