I think I just threw up in my mouth a little....
anyway here is my straight from the 70's 550 chop:
guy I bought this from built it in 1974 out of a brand new bike and an AEE catalog (it is not one of thier kits though). The only thing he wouldn't part with was the ridge top amen tank. I rode this bike for 2 years before putting her in storage...she is a death trap.
754 - I think what he is looking for is outlandish bikes from way back when. While most MODERN chop builders seem to be into to clean undersated bikes, the 1970's was a different case and there are so many bikes that were just over the top.
I will tell you what I do miss about the 1980's chopper scene (too young for the 1970s)....I miss mural paint jobs of album cover artwork. Twice I have seen Rush album covers transferred into tank airbrush work...even have a buddy with a mountain album on the tank of his 750. Unfortunatly, because I am such a lame ass if I were to do something like that I would pick Sabbath's "We Sold Our Soul for Rock and Roll" album to copy instead of something cool and arty like the starman logo off the back of Rush's 2112, Boston's first album, Cream's Disraeli Gears, or even Iron Maden's tailgunner artwork
