The Chopper Compendium

Might have to see it applied to know, but I'd imagine that the "diamond" girder from your gs550 chop on this frame would be... uhm, I dunno... too much of the same?

Nice neck, btw.

I have several ideas for this build so will just have to see where I go with it.... and thanks JC for the compliment, I try to make my designs just a little bit more interesting

Hi maz, i am sure whatever design you come up with it will be awesome looking as always.

thanks Thomas

i see the appeal of the girder builds they definatly seem a lot easier less heavy plate to shape on the sander and more lathe time glad ya inspired me to do one hope it comes out as well as yours

Thanks Curt, I'm glad I was able to inspire you with my work

I prefer girders for two main reasons, firstly they are lighter and easier (for me) to build and secondly they are much easier to "tune" for the bad roads we have here. I do like the look of springers but they tend to look too heavy at the top when you start adding shock absorbers etc.

I will be getting back into my FZ750 project build soon and that will have a diamond girder, then we'll see with the other frame.......

I really dig that diamond frame idea. Rad.

Maz, with all your great skills and fabrication work you keep all us old lazy guys off our asses to keep working on our bike builds.

but with "diamond" rear tubes

i like that lotta work twisting that up
