The Chopper Compendium

Actually no.
But flipping the ring is the easiest way to do it.
I flipped the entire trans. Just took some internal machine work on the oiling. It made my engine be six inches lower than "normal would be.

Back to the scooter.. Getting a rechop and rebuild. Engine is going 2387cc fuel injected and distributer less. I have collected a pile of parts and pieces and started some machine work. A lonnnnnnnng way to go. But the rockers ended up simple straight forward items. Same geometry but no frills. 2014...

Well the little 11yr old girl took up dirt track oval racing. I have been heavy into being pit crew. So i have not been working on the scooter until recently. She is getting competitive. On pace in the mix and getting good at driving sideways. http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy65/superexification...

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.

Springer Rockers



Too cartoonish?

Now I am building a springer style fork for it. ? 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...

By the way , WTF is a "snusnu" and why would you want to "do it till you die "? :shock: :lol: :think: :obscene-drinkingcheers: It is an obscure reference to a cartoon named Futurama. In one episode (Amazon Women In the Mood), Snusnu equals sex. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8036...

Now I am building a springer style fork for it. Do you have any pictures? :popcorn: A little early in the game for pictures..... But I have a wheel and shock I am gonna use. http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2820/12021689504_222dd269a5.jpg Hear is the desk I am drawing at.... http://farm9.staticflickr....

I would , if building it myself anyway , consider a girder or a hossack for a trike instead of a tele or a springer ! Much stronger and easier to build in the geometry you need for a trike ! Have considered a girder but just aint what I want it to look like...... just me. I am trying to do somethin...

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.

Thanks for the replies. I have looked over the threads. I am good on the geometry that I want and I have the ability to build most anything I want to. Just looking for some first hand experience with trike forks. I am gonna build short and stocky and in stainless steel. I also treat mine pretty roug...
