me and my nieghbor was just talking about creating a new manufatured bike for todays market. An american V2 designed like the corvette LS engine crome 30s styled radiator with cool radiator cap like on roadsster. softail style front frame with dyna rear swingarm. Cragar or ansen styled rims. bike would still be very close to the size of a softy and be able to have interchanible parts with serval different setups availible. The companies name would be Warmaster or something bad ***. All we need is everything else and alot of money hows that for a start. And dont give me the aircooled crap because american hotrods have had cool radiators as centerpeices

 

sounds a lot like a watercooled castle or titan

Don't think I would want one. Have to see it to really make an opinion

 

never seen a watercooled castle or titan. they just didnt come out owith this in the last two hours did they because thats my idea. I am going to search this castle though

 

They are air cooled bikes with the frame design you mentioned.

 

Don't bogart that joint my friend.

 

cant find this castle bike. I cant beleive theres somebody out their already making what in my mind. The one in my head would just be to badas and smooth to not be noticed

 

no radiator

 

I think he it sounded like what a Castle or Titan would be if they added the radiator.

So, by using a Softie front frame with a Dyna swingarm, what are you aiming for? The low seat ride? Why the Dyna rear? I'm not second-guessing you, just asking. I don't know frames that well.

BTW, design being what it is, if it appeals to you, it probably appeals to at least a few other people. Hard to say if that number is high enough to support a going concern of a full-blown business, but maybe it would sell a few. Maybe craft one so you have pics (and see if you actually like what it comes out like), then see who likes it...?

 

I am thinking if i can basically have a 1/4 version of a LS1 in a lowsitting stock rake front and the mechanical look and movement of the dyna rear. accompanied with a cool looking grill like off a old 40s ford ( cant remember what my dad had in the day) truck iit would do good. All these aircooled bikes make it seem like their ashamed of the radiator. Why not just take pride in it and show it off

 

There are no more truly original ideas. Everything is a variation of existing forms.
