The Chopper Compendium

Rolled it outside to try to get some clearer shots in the light, and put it into perspective. It feels tiny even beside my 400. I love the way the drum sits, I was worried if I'd be able to get it tight to the frame, but it all tucks in there really nice. http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww241/Kar...

Did some spacer work today. Got the hub located, now I just need to true up the wheel to center and we're good to go. Happens quicker with it sitting in the living room at least. http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww241/Karnage-fab/Kandy/20150124_182403_zps5c546dcc.jpg http://i724.photobucket.com/al...

In love a little with this wheel. Opened it in the truck before I even got home. Just couldnt wait. Dereks hub that replaces a star hub wheel, All polished stainless spokes laced to a stock italian made harley 16x3.5 After some honey-dos me and the boy got it slipped into the frame and mocked up. Go...

Got some temp spacers in so my front wheel sits nice while I finish buttoning up the front end. Then while I worked, my boys made some spacers to replace the bearings on a random cb750 wheel I had around, so that at least I have something to look at until my wheel is done at Buchanons. http://i724.p...

It was bugging me that the ass was sitting a little low, sitting here visualizing things. So while me and the boys got it up to ride height, we threw stuff on the scale at the same time. Frame as it sits with the tanks, front end, and wheel is right at 100lbs motor is 130lbs Rear drum is 10lbs Figur...

My youngest wants to ride this one. She'll actually be able to reach the controls......

Axle sliders fit beautifully, its a little anti-climatic without the wheel, but at least the drum can just hang out there for now. Put the front end together though, everything fit together with minimal effort, I need to do some tweaking of the spacers that I made, a few adjustments here and there b...

So this happened.......... http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww241/Karnage-fab/Kandy/2014-12-31111459_zps6136cfd0.jpg http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww241/Karnage-fab/Kandy/20141231_092534_zps649556ec.jpg So this is happening tonight. http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww241/Karnage-fab/Kandy/I...

Borrowed some shocks from a buddy of mine so I can mock up my front end tomorrow, I pulled the rod ends out, and he made me some aluminum bushings. Once UPS shows up tomorrow I can finally see this stuff come together. http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww241/Karnage-fab/Kandy/PhotoGrid_141999851796...

As long as guys keep looking, I'll keep posting. Thanks. The boy spent hours polishing the bars while I worked on the other tank. Hes still not done, but it was time for a break, and some pictures in the light since my picture taking skills suck....... http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww241/Karnag...

Derek finished up the last couple bits he's doing, and boxed stuff up. Package off to Buchanons, and a couple others to me. I'm trying to get everything tied up that I can without parts, so me and the boy finished the bars up today, short of a little more blending and polishing...... http://i724.pho...

Got a good collection of parts heading my way right away. http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww241/Karnage-fab/Kandy/photo-29_zps929f750d.jpg He decided to use this italian made stocker? rear rim, looks awesome, its heading to Buchanons http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww241/Karnage-fab/Kandy/phot...

Always had this dumb idea to put a cross hair like an old fighter plane had on the gun in a set of handlebars.....I usually run drag bars though so never did. My boy turned some Stainless bar on the lathe, and we found some stainless rings at the marine shop, so it was worth a try, and I like it so ...

And the upper tree is pretty much finished......Dereks updates to me keep me going while I'm doing tesious stuff for sure........ Machined a pocket for the brass washer on the stem, tapped the pinch bolts, recessed some pockets on the underside for the riser hardware, and made a pretty trick axle to...

Initial shine on the hub. Looks even better shiney. And I needed a change of pace today, so got going on some bars. I radiused the riser bungs so it will flow into the upper tree, that has a recess in it for that purpose, and I'm liking the shape of them. Working on the middle connector now, somethi...
