HARKEN Board track racer FRAME ONLY antique motorized cafe bike indian harley

Description

Board track, or motordrome, racing was a type of motor sport, popular in the United States between the second and third decades of the 20th century, where competition was conducted on oval race courses with surfaces composed of wooden planks. Although the tracks most often used motorcycles, many different types of racing automobiles also competed, enough so as to see the majority of the 1920s American national championship races contested at such venues. By the early 1930s, board track racing had fallen out of favour, and into eventual obsolescence, due to both its perceived dangers and the high cost of maintenance of the wooden racing surfaces.  However, several of its most notable aspects have continued to influence American motor sports philosophy to the present day, including: A technical emphasis on raw speed produced by the steep inclinations; ample track width to allow steady overtaking between competitors; and the development of extensive grandstands surrounding many of the courses.

DIY KIT meaning....
you will receive 1 box w the main bike. You have to put on the front wheel pedals and seat.
That should only take minutes.
The engine kit, chain and upgrade brass fuel petcock arrive separately.
When selling one bike complete it gets heavy and shipping workers don't take the care to really ensure safe arrival.
When shipping it all separate the chance of damage are greatly reduced.
In my area you can get a motorized bike engine installed for 0- 0
This is a good option if you just want to skip to the fun. If you enjoy assembling,
Its not that difficult and can be done in about 2 hrs .
I don't have a instruction manual but if you need assistance I provide a number for my tech guy
and he will help you with any questions you may have,
There are some instructions for the engine assembly included w that kit.
Youtube also has a wealth of info for assembling motorized bicycles
the version w the cruiser upright bar is what will arrive. the other version shows the bike as a board track racer as opposed to cruiser or flat track style
