The Chopper Compendium

Here you can see a full size drawing scum made when he did his build...

Here are pics showing how scum prepared his coped tubing for welding...

just coped not finished


after finishing and ready for welding

Here are pics from Scum's build on the old board showing how he formed his rear hoops for his chopper. This method is a little different from the multi-bend method gary shows on his frame build. the method has fewer bends but has to be slugged and gussetted more. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...

these are some of the pics from Scum's build from the old board. these pics show how he overcame the limited tools and built a bitchin chopper. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j198/littlechop/17_XbraceJig.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j198/littlechop/13_NotchLegs.jpg http://i80.photobucket...

looks good bud. not sure i understand your question so i will wait to see what is going on.

happy day old man

i think what Curt wants is a tracing of the original part to go off of. Am i correct on that Curt?

when i get home i will go through my blueprints and get you a copy if i can find them. i think mine was 6 over.

Just take a look at the frontend design he came up with and start a conversation please. http://www.britchopper.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=17418 http://www.customcycledevelopments.com/work_in_progress.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqjaLJ3Ws28 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6pxqylWYck...

jeff i think you are right. curt if you look on the net you can find a side on and expand it to size needed. there you go all done and ready.

oh i guess the girl covering the cool part is ok.

yeah that is all i could get too.

vibes mag has a bike on the cover that i want to use for inspiration on the new sporty frame. The paint was done by rise kustom paint shop in japan. is there anyway you could get camera pics of the bike write up? it was built by masa custom choppers or some such. it has a set of invade wheels a modi...

billy licensed jj to use it on the shop built bikes and then later when jj changed some things it be came a sell item.

guys i have a lathe and a hand knurler but i am doing an article for the mag and want to show guys how to do this with hand tools that they may already have. I think the punch on the bars and on the risers will be the answer.
