I am not usually a chopper guy, preferring the sport touring look and approach.

That, however, could change my mind.  What great lines!  I also love the valve inspection caps - where'd you pick those up?  Or are they a custom piece?

Thanks for the good words guys, much appreciated.  The carb setup is CycleX.  The valve inspection caps were made by guy named Jimmy Roberts, owns Copperheadz Machine Works.  The guy can make anything, here is some of his stuff:

Here is his email if anyone is interested: miner230@yahoo.com

He also made me a matching oil adapter:

Nice Chop!  Seeing these and the crotch bobbers are really catching my attention - wanting to build one.  I need to finish my other two projects first.  :)

Looks great...good craftsmanship too.

Can you tell me where you got the rear fender?
What size rear wheel and tire?

Tell us the manufacturer of the frame?

Oil tank?

Foot controls??

Paint or powder coat on the frame? Color?

Alright Lucky, here ya go:

Rear wheel and tire I believe came off a VTX, tire is a 170/80-15.  I traded for it to some guy for the original gas tank.  Had to widen the rear legs to accomodate:


Frame manufacturer is AEE.

Rear fender: Jesse James, One Ton Ho 9"

The oil tank is by a guy named Curt Owen who owns Anything Goes.

Gas tank:  3.0 gal Wyatt Gatling curved tank.

Foot controls from TC Bros.

Silver vein powdercoat on the frame:


Black drag pipes from CycleX

Pamco EI:


Monster Craftsman chain tensioner:


Got some pretty cool LED Run/Brake/Turn signals from Chrome Glow:


Ebay electronics box:




Post more later, gotta head off to the J.O.B.

I started my Bobber build today so I am naming it this time... ROVER
 build in honor of our rover landing.

It is 36ยบ rake so it is between Bobber and Chopper. Rover.
