I haven't seen or spoken to his dad since Friday.
I want to see about purchasing the bike from the scrap yard and restoring it as a tribute to the family. They all ride.
But I'm not sure how it would be received. If it would be a good thing or not.
Ask them if they would like this first.
Subtly.

I'm also feeling guilty because I did as he asked and made it a very powerful and fast motorcycle.
Speed is what killed him.
Speed and lack of skill at that level.
I'm concerned that the family might be mad at me.
I've hot rodded several bikes for them.

I don`t think that the family think that you are guilty of the accident. If they all ride, and all like powerful motorbikes, they know that it is dangerous.

No. Not a good idea. You're feeling guilty. Not your fault. Just let it be.

You're bound to feel guilty.
But it's not your fault any more than it is whoever built the bike or invented them or manufactured it, designed it etc.
But they might be mad at you, though i hope not.
Not your fault.

It certainly wouldn't be the first thing I mention when I see him again.
I don't even know how to bring it up.
I feel very badly for them and I wish I could do something.

You can do something for them ! If you are a well known and good friend, you can visit the family and speak with them. Sometimes speaking about bad things will be helpful.
Say that you feel guilty ( although you are not ). To speak about is better than silence.

I'm sure I'll speak with them at the funeral.
