been around here for quite a wile.... built a little 550 chop, im well into my triumph's but was sick of getting a sore ankle with the kick start so at 48 decided to build a 550f chop out of a basket case used a lot of info from here to sort it lol so thought it was only fair to join and share and sort a few small probs i have with it...well enough of that....good to be here from the preston northwest uk

Obvious answer:  get a Hinckley!

Go for a 900 and you get real carbs and fuel tap!
Plus a triple with real grunt.

we have many chops over in the uk i have a bsa a7 chop old school and a 500 trumpet chop i built in 1979....... but i must say i like the honda but boy its a pain in the neck to set up it still doesnt run right even though iv put in bigger jets ect from cold its a bad starter.... spluters bangs misfires for a bout 2 mins till warm then its ok runs real smooth
