Big-bike projects bring more mass, torque, braking load and usually more luggage or passenger weight. We therefore assess the donor motorcycle first and plan the rear structure, suspension, braking, reverse and bodywork as one build.
For a touring machine, we also want to know whether existing luggage must stay, whether you ride two-up, how far you normally travel and where the bike will live. Those details are more useful than a shopping list of parts.
Gold Wing, Rebel and other cruiser or touring projects are discussed case by case. Send the model, year, photos, location and your target result and we will tell you the sensible next step.
