The Chopper Compendium

Yes Nathan it will wheelie in first and second gear. It will outrun a lot of bikes on the road but not all by any means. I have a bud with a v-rod with pipes and a tuner that it is all I can do to stay right behind him. But in no way could I ever get around him.

Have considered a girder but just aint what I want it to look like...... just me.
I am trying to do something that looks like a springer with a wishbone shock link and a hyd shock.

So what is a Hossack?
I gotta get on google and find out.

Do you have any pictures?

A little early in the game for pictures.....

But I have a wheel and shock I am gonna use.


Hear is the desk I am drawing at....


The rest is just raw metals.
I have a machine shop and stuff to work with.

It is an obscure reference to a cartoon named Futurama. In one episode (Amazon Women In the Mood), Snusnu equals sex.

No problem. I guess I took the term "now" literally. Good luck.

I guess it is from being an engineer type...... I just gotta plan it all out, draw it every which way and such. Change my mind and throw it all away, start over....
For myself at least, the planning is a big part of building it.

But as things come to be, I certainly can put up pictures.

The whole thing has been together for a while and is I am slowly disassembling now. But work has been hectic and I have been glad to lock the door and go home lately.

I want to paint it his time.
I think it will go back as a 2276cc.
I have been collecting pieces to go full electronic fuel injection and distributerless.
I have the G-code written for some billet valve covers maybe I will get to them too.

Please throw the prints and schetchs up man they are worth more than parts here for thought process and help us see your vision!

PLEASE even napkin doodles?

Springer Rockers



Too cartoonish?

Never seen it done before!

I knew it was a gun!

Try them out rockers are easy to change if you do not like?

did you check out the hossack front suspension ? One of the things I like is that the legs can look any way you like , even look like a tele or a ridgid !!

It would be great if you could give it a realistic look rather than just the profile.

Sell a couple 9 mm pistols?

Weld the slides and cut them in half weld to the plates with the bolts welded to them?

I did check out the hossack.
It may be something I do when the next build comes along. Just not what I want this time.

The rockers might get some more machine work to improve the looks. But I don't think they will ever look real.
I just want something different.

Different is good, they don't need to look real.

I would try may change on bike?

They are easy to change out?
