The Chopper Compendium

The gooseneck and leaf flow pretty good together.

i think the leafer looks good on it, personally. and on the license plate light, have you seen the license plate bolts with LEDs in them? takes care of two things at once.

Yeah defo the leafer.... http://www.chromedhog.com do some goodies

I really want to run the leafer, but Im bummed that I think it totally throws off the look I was going for.The bike was to have a drag bike look to it.The hydraulic forks are more suited to that look.Maybe if I had used bigger tubing for the forks...I dont know.I'll have to wait & see what they look like after I fuck around with them & powder coat them.

John Deere 1020 is a three cylinder. Not sure what type ignition system they use though.

Hey Dan & Sleepy...great info guys.The plate lights are a go & if I can find a used 1020 distributor That should be good too.It runs points, so wiring it would be a snap.Theres also an eletronic upgrade for it.

For what it's worth I like the leafer and the current bars. I keep saying it; I love this build.

Thank alot man...I like the front alot more now that I cut the small bars off & replaced them with much longer 5/8.I figured out my bars too.Hope to have them made up tomorrow....Whats up with the Beemer man???

It seems the bars I had figured out didnt look like I thought they were going to.God...who'd of thunk that handle bars could be so aggrevating to work out.I'm sorta satisfied with these,& will stop here for now anyway.....I'm using a 7/8 throttle on 1" bars.I like how the grip is the same dia. as the bars.

aint it the way when ya can make em any way ya want your never satisfied with the look . i always keep thinkin if i just change em a lil right here they will look much better . but everyone else keeps buying the first three that ya made and they love em


btw i think they look cool like the idea of bein able to use the stock controls on the 1 inch bars

Thats exactly the way it went.Wound up cuttin up 3 different sets I made changing them around.I really need to start drawing thing before I start.

I put a little powder on the front end today

Last tidbit for the day....look what I got in the mail todayNow I can get the top end of the engine buttoned up

Nice to be getting closer to finishing. Good luck with the piston install.

Got my headlight mounted.The light itself is pretty small, 4 1/4" dia. need to go to the parts store & see if I can find a socket for a lamp that will be bright enough.The mounts on my bars should be welded up to night...so I'll get pics of it all when they get powdered.
