The Chopper Compendium

the springer i am doing custom production orders on...that's right i am posting full size blueprints to my production run.
it is a springer that utilizes the same top four plates for all 3 widths. the widths for a narrow glide using a 3" or smaller spool hub, a mid glide using 2000-2012 equivalent sportster hub, or a wide glide using common wide glide hubs.
the following attachments are the width between legs spacing with the lower tree. the tree is designed to hide the 2.5" chopper neck or dust cover. it has a 4" inside width between the 1.25" rear legs.

i also have 4 different tree setups i use. i have an inline, 1" offset, 1.5" offset and a 1.75" offset

the trees can be modified as needed to accommodate smaller rear tubes, smaller neck size, etc...this is just my template. the angle lines of the rear are tangent with the .875 radius at the tubes and the 1.25 radius at the neck. the radius at the front is important as it removes material that might hit the spring bridge when in action.

here are the plate prints

here are the setups for all three widths with all the plates together we will be doing a build up article using minimal tools. it will follow the lines of the rude crude but focus on this design and the 90* rule.

videos of the way to build it and use the 90* rule will be made this week as we build one. they will be up loaded to youtube.

kool

ooh, ooh, ooh, count me in! now i have something to look forward to this week.

Was the video of this build ever posted on YouTube? I just looked but didn't find anything?

no we are still tryingto get around to videoing a springer build
