Sheet Metal Fabrication Basics

By: Timothy Remus, Rob Roehl .

Sheet Metal Fabrication Basics is based on the idea that bending sheet metal for your motorcycle shouldn't require large and expensive power tools.

The book is made up primarily of shop projects, both simple and complex. From mounting a fender to fabricating an air cleaner cover, from making a seat pan to fabricating a rear fender from scratch. Each of these projects is shown in detail with a wealth of sequential photos. And every photo includes a caption written by the fabricator who did the work.

In addition to the shop projects, this book from how-to author Timothy Remus and fabricator Rob Roehl includes a chapter on welding both steel and aluminum sheet metal with gas or T1G.

Part of Wolfgang's Biker Basics series, Sheet Metal Fabrication basics is written for bike builders working at home or in a small shop. The projects are mostly basic though the principles and methods can be applied to any sheet metal project you might tackle down the road.
