The Chopper Compendium

The exhaust is done with the exception of a few mounts & the wrap. I’ll wait till the motor is done to do that.

Looks good

Tried out some new powder for my rims (translucent brass over super chrome) & desided to go a little thinner on tires. Went from a 100/90 to a 3.00

My fender is mounted. Was trying for strut less, but when I set it up to clear the tire at full suspension travel, it looked like a dirt bike fender. I wound up mounting it to the swing arms. Also mounted the reservoir for the master cylinder.

Hey Jeff, looking good! any more progress?

It’s been slow man. Almost have the frame ready to paint.

it"ll just give us something to look forward to!

The frame fin nally has color on it.


ordered some 2k flat clear, so when it gets here I can shoot that & start cleaning & repowder coating parts.

looks beautiful! i know it has to feel great to finally see the frame in color.

Certainly does. Been a long time coming. Started getting some parts ready for powder & still a few more parts for the motor I have to order.

yeah, all that little stuff sure eats up a lot of time, don't it?

Not a whole lot to post about, but I got all the studs & spacers made for the caes & motor mounts.]Also spent a little time cleaning up the cases & trans. With any luck maybe the bottom end will find its way into the frame.

those cases look sexy. i can imagine the hours that went into that result. well worth it, though.

Actually it didnt take long. Just glass beaded them & ran some brass wire wheels over them.

Got the engine together & in, along with a couple other parts. Have to buy clutch plates & try to fix the stator housing. Having a littletrouble on the powder coating end, so its been slowing things down even more than they have been. Should have it figured out soon.
