Chopper build
« on: December 14, 2009, 06:39:44 PM »
I know most of you on here aren't chopper guys, but I am one and I couldn't pass this one up...I have had many rigid framed CB's, but rarely run across a swingarm bike....This is a SB&F(Smith Brothers and Fetrow) frame from the late seventies and early eighties...Basically stock from the seat post back and up and out stretched and raked...Anyway I want to leave the look pretty much the way I found it...The build won't be that difficult to do, just have to find the time to be able to get on it..I won't have to rebuild any motors or wheels or front ends etc.., I have all the stuff I need, except the paint and the seat basically..Anyway you guys be easy on me and I will atleast try to update this on a regular basis...

This is what it looked like when I brought it home...It ran and idled pretty good tranny wlouldn't shift and made noise in nuetral..





Donor bike: gonna use the motor and rear wheel for sure off this




Here is where we stand as of today...Front forks will stay with the frame but the wheels will be changed
