My 1st Build "The Bombay Cruiser"

This is my first motorbike build.
The bicycle is a Micargi Rover NX3
The engine is the larger of the BGF series.
I disassembled, inspected and painted it with VHT.
I added the Pyramid Springer and the Rear Rack.
I'm not done, I have some detail work to do yet. So, what do you think ?

Smooth! I like that a lot! I'm slowly being converted to cruiser style. That colour scheme and those curves just look fantastic, the tank looks great too!

Nice build Boilerman. Are the springers also from Micargi? And what sort of paint do you paint the motor with and does it look OK after a couple of thousand kms?

The Springer is a Pyramid. I had to add a spacer above the crown bearing, but it worked out just fine. The paint is aerosol engine paint I picked up at Advance Auto Parts.
It's rated for 1300F so I hope it holds up.

This bike is really cool, I just received mine today with my motor WOW! That was the best part, The downer is how did you mount your drive sprocket on the large NX3 HUB? Did you have one Machined or did you Purchased ?

I used a high-speed die grinder to enlarge the hub bore.
The backing plates are large enough to accept the Nexxus hub.
