Welcome from Athens, GA. There's a member here called Kingcustomcycles, you'd probably get some inspiration from his site. You can look him up under the members tab above and find the link to his site. I think he sells rigid rear ends -might save you some time fabricating. Also, you might want to check out Hondachoppers.com Good knowledgeable folks there too, especially about problems you might run into with building a chopper.
