Hot Rod Motorcycle Reminder

Hello All, Just a quick reminder about Hot Rod Institute's Custom Motorcycle offerings.  We have had a lot of questions lately about our Hot Rod Motorcycle class and program.  The Hot Rod Motorcycle class (HRM) covers mainly the mechanical side of the custom motorcycle building process.  The motorcycle engine, transmission, and primaries will all be covered along with wiring, brakes and machining.  Motorcycle suspension and frame design will also be covered but the majority of those fabrication skills would be practiced mainly in Hot Rod Chassis.  The combination of taking Hot Rod Chassis, Hot Rod Body and Hot Rod Motorcycle would give a student a great skill set in the actual fabrication of custom motorcycles, not just strictly dealership maintenance tasks.  If a student would take one more class, their overall educational program would be considered a HRI Diploma Program and would come with a 5% discount per class. » read more
