Would you have guts to ride it?


Frame Crafters is a custom motorcycle and fabrication shop that started out doing exclusively chassis design and fabrication, but has since broadened itsreach into all manners of fabrication, restoration and customization. We recently spied this incredible hybrid project underway and cannot wait to see the finished project. A quick glance at its Instagram would indicated Frame Crafters work primarily in the dirt track market and the racing slicks in the photo would indicate this is going to be some sort of fire breathing flat track racer. As it sits the motor includes a 465 kit pushing out 105 horsepower. So cool!

Growing up in Oregon, most of Seth's involvement in the powersports world was limited to what he saw in magazines and videos. Following a brief stint in the corporate world, Seth took a flying leap (literally) and moved to California to pursue a career in freestyle motocross. Though short lived, the opportunity immersed him in the industry and is now a well-established off-road writer.
