The Chopper Compendium

I think the blue looks good too.What I think would look cool is to polish the frame & girder, & have them cleared.

That AJS motor is sweet.

Nice use of small space.

You're right they are short.In order to get a desirable bend with running the rockers out front & have the trail number still come in,I will be welding a plate under & a little back from the end of the tube to mount the rockers from.So the pivot will be another 1 1/2" lower.Also I figur...

My appologies dude....sometimes its not easy to get someone point through a typed sentence.And fyi its not butting in....its called discusion.Different viewpoints are always good.especially when you dont agree with some...it makes you think.

I got the legs bent &set up.Now to make a set of rockers.I also need to mount the leaf spring & make up the rod that connects the spring to the axle.Oh I will need to make a new axle cause this front end is a little wider &the original axle isnt threaded.

Nice building.You have heat in there?With all that white stuff on the ground,I hope so.

Thanks...I hope theres enough progress to take some more pics by end of weekend...Ill be partying hard by tomorrow afternoon, so its not lookin good.

...Wow dude...that is so far from the point of why you would Make a part rather than buy it.Considering what I make an hour at my job,everthing on my bike I could have probably bought cheaper than make.

The sprocket is an industrial ider sprocket from tractor supply.I forget what size, but its same size as 530 chain.The bearing I got in a bin at the steel supply I go to.It was a little bigger than the bore in the sprocket, so I just opened it up to fit.

I made this one.

Got the trees made up & the legs in.Now I just need to add a little bend in the legs & weld.

sucks about the battery.I was hoping to see some pics.

Thoughtful she is.Maybe we could make this a conference call.

I had thought about trees with negative offset.I mocked up a set with 0 offset & came up with a fork design that Im happy with.Started on the steel trees today.
