Among them, building a chopper one seem to be easier because many pre-made blueprints and designs are available for you to select and modify. Thus, this way is more suitable for home builders and small motorbike shops.
On the other hand, since a sport bike frame requires a lighter weight to be fast, builders have to deal with the combination of light materials such as titanium, aluminum, and carbon fibers. It’s not easy to put them together.
In addition, a chopper frame is categorized into two minor types: rigid frames and softail frames. So, if you choose to go with this frame, it’s important to check this post to recognize what the differences between a rigid frame and a softail frame.
Step 2: Design
Before purchasing any part, you need to make a detailed picture of what your frame will look like. At that point, design is essential. All the components should be taken into account. For examples, what style of the tank, how high the seat should locate, what color for each part, etc.
If you know Photoshop or any CAD tool, use it. If you don’t, there are hundreds of pre-made models on the Internet. You pick the one you like and then customize it as the way you want. Also, there is an interesting and useful web-based app that I found on the Internet, allowing you to design your bike with zero designing skill. Check it at here.
Step 3: Prepare The Materials

Tubing: ERW (Electric Resistance Welded Steel) is most common selection for the tubing. Chromoly (Chromium & Molybdenum) is also a good option; it’s lighter, stronger, but it costs more.

Chassis and Lugs: DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) is a standard choice. The process of producing DOM is quite similar to ERW; it takes a further step to take out the imperfections, making it stronger.
Step 4: Prepare The Necessary Tools
You will need a wide range of equipment to create a motorcycle frame. Here are some basics:
- Saw
- Angle Grinder
- Tubing Bender
- Measuring and Setting Tools: Plumb Bob Angle Finder Machinists Square
- Frame Jig
Step 5: Cut Components
According to your design, cut all the tubes and axles exactly in terms of dimension. You will deal with the steering yoke, seat post, backbone, bottom rails, and more. Note that you should leave a few inches to each part in case of fitting or even mistakes.
Step 6: Miter Junctions
A miter junction
To create perfect and accurate welds, it’s indispensable to fit of the tubes. The matching points are called miter junctions. In a motorcycle frame, there are many miter junctions like the seat tube and the backbone for examples.
The mouth fit can be beveled or flattened depending on the types of weld penetrations. As you match two or three tubes perfectly, you will be able to weld them perfectly.
Step 7: Tube Bending
It’s time to shape your tubes. You will need a tubing bender to complete this task. For a step-by-step bending process, check this video. My guide won’t show you how to bend, but it reveals you some pitfalls that you might face during the process.

In addition, self-overload & temperature protection provide battery much longer life.
- SECURITY DESIGNS: 1. Security lock prevents accidental activation (The security lock & start button need to be pressed simultaneously for the chainsaw to start); 2. Safety baffles to prevent the wood from splashing; 3. Equip with an anti-slip texture handle, making you grip the mini chainsaw tightly; Safety comes, please feel free to use it!
The most serious problem is dimensional errors and angle errors due to incorrect measurements. Any of these issues could ruin your tubes, so be very careful.
Step 8: Tube Welding
Tube welding
During the welding process, components could budge askew. Thus, to keep the position and alignment, you should use some clamps, tacks or bars to fix everything. Watch this video for how to weld a motorcycle frame.
How To Build A Brat Style Bike
What is a Brat Style Bike?
A brat style bike is a café racer and was introduced by a Japanese custom builder called Brat Style. It has a very specific kind of seat (look like a banana). It was started originally by using a kind of skateboard-shaped seat before involving into more like a slab.

To summarize, a brat style bike typically has:
- Either a flat seat or a solo seat lowered via a mild frame modification
- High steer
- Sprung rear (no hardtail)
- Mini-apes or motocross handlebars (no clip-ons)
My Point of View about the Process of Building a Brat Style Bike
Since the process of building a brat style bike is quite similar to a café racer, this post will not show you a step-by-step guide to building your own brat style bike. You can visit here for a very detailed and complete guide for building a café racer.
What I want to show you in this post will be how to create a brat seat which the major difference between a brat style bike and a café racer. For other distinct parts like the mini-apes handlebar, the problem is purchasing them at the store, then assembling them in the quite similar way as a café racer.
