For those of you who helped out along the way, here are some pictures of the bike. Hondachopper.com was gracious enough to put it in their gallery.

Thanks for all of the advice and help. It's not the typical style of bike around here, but I dont think anyones going to harp on that. It's still a Honda and Ill easily keep up with you guys...Until we hit the twisties haha.

to be honest i dont even like SOHC chops but that one works for me, nice job

Thanks a lot fellas. I originally wanted something retro, but I started making things fit (like the giant seat) and it tended to a different direction in my mind. I've had a few people say that it's retro and I'm really happy about that.

Thanks again for all the help. This is by far the best source for technical information on SOHC's with a great group of people.

Choppers are not normally my thing, but that looks sweet.

How well do those Acewell speedo/tach's work?

BLUE71TURBO · « **Reply #13 on:** July 27, 2009, 08:11:47 pm »

Two thumbs up !!! Great work !! Ride with pride !!!

Holy sh*t. I'm not a big fan of choppers, bobber, casfe, etc but that is one unique looking bike. My shoulders hurt just looking at it!

bender01 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 27, 2009, 08:45:22 pm »

Thats nice. Id ride that proudly.

Sorry I havent been around, but the Acewell Speedo/Tach works alright. It's a bit of a pain with the magneto, but the tach works alright. The only thing I dont like is that the divisions on the tach arent very precise. I'll know when I hit 11k, but not 11.2k ect. I havent modified the magnet for the speedo pickup yet so Im not sure about that part.

Well done! The bike has a nice overall look, looks well-integrated and not at all like a collection of slapped-together parts.

Choppers really aren't my thing but the quality of your workmanship is awesome, this is a beautifully designed and well thought out bike - better than the sum of its parts.

Superb job - when do we get the video to hear it?!

When I get the little skank tuned up! Im looking for a better set of carbs right now. Maybe some smoothies or just something larger. The stock carbs are going to stifle that engine.

I also think my oil check valve is stuck because the oil light wont go out anymore. Im not sure how to check it the easiest way though.

Wow....I love it. Does have a 70's chopper magazine feel to it. Nicely done.
