If you’ve never heard of Hejira before, don’t feel bad. I know bikes pretty well and I had not heard of them until one of my clients called me and said he had bought one in England and wanted to restore it. Hejira’s were custom built race bikes mainly in the 70-80’s. Approximately 500 were built over the years and there are very few remaining. Since they were all custom, there is no “factory” bike to model this restoration after. We will likely use a theme that Rotax used on one of their factory race bikes. Here is our starting point…
As you can see, the hand made aluminum tank has some significant battle scars. We will try to get most of the dents pushed out and use as little filler as possible.
