My Choppers New Life So Far...

[Bananas for Bonanzas]

well, i decided to start building the chopper since it hasnt sold yet. i put on some plates to hold the new front wheel, risers, handle bars, motor mount plate and a 5hp b&s. it still needs a jackshaft, cables, throttle, brake lever, and a tank. maybe a new seat. i might end up de-raking it a bit and replace the forks.

Thats going to be really cool. What do you plan on using for a tank? Is that a rear wheel from one of those stingray bikes?

thanks. im still looking for a tank and yes, its the stingray wheel. i didnt want to go with a skinny wheel like most chops have.

How does the jackshaft mount on there? I don't see anyplace for it to attach.

i need to weld the hangers to the frame.

nice looking chopper, curious if you fab'd your forks? I am researching options for forks, possibly looking for a junked out cycle to rob the triple tree etc. off of. Im curious what kind of bearings are used in chopper necks. Hope to see more pics. The front tire looks sharp

thanks. the forks are stock. the only thing i did to them was weld on hangers for the front tire.
