great looking chop man. looks like either an amen saviour or a santee frame.

So cool!

I may be wrong but I think you'll have enough room to get the valve cover off with the engine in the frame... ::)


Is that a Henry Abe filter ??  (droool!)

Front end on that thing is a little extreme, but very cool nonetheless, congrats.

Looks cool, but you will need at least a parking lot to turn around and go in the other direction.

LOL!! Love that last pic!

Not into THAT long of a front end...but it looks like a well done chop...I think if I ever did own a "chopper" it would def be a honda. Good find! How does it ride?

That is bloody magnificent mate, if I ever find a frame like that I'm gonna build one too! Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
