A few words from the owner and builder of
this Chopper:
Here's a project I just finished. Once in a
while I like to do something a little different. No welding
was done on this bike so I could return it to 'normal'
again, if I didn't like it. All stock and original except:
Harley chain guard, Super Hawk front wheel and hub, seat,
rear shocks, air filter, and a valley cover.
I enjoyed doing this project. I thought,
for a month or two, of how exactly I wanted to do this
without cutting or welding any parts, everything can be put
back original very easily. It came together pretty much
like I had intended, except I originally wanted a white bike
with blackened cylinder and head and all the chrome painted
dark charcoal with a high gloss. Black Chrome would also
have been nice. The bike is all original except for the
handlebars, mufflers, shocks, seat, chain guard (Harley) and
the front wheel assembly which came from a Super Hawk. The
stretch was accomplished with 2 metal straps which added 4
1/2" to the wheel base. This is really just a good rider as
many things could be done to make her show quality, like
rechroming some of the parts, plastic badges and a better
paint job. It still has a few small dings here and there.
It certainly gets a lot of attention and questions. I just
wanted a different look without damaging the original bike.
Hope you guys like her. A true labor of
love.
