Good standing member over on the Honda rebel forum and TCU forum. My first chopper build was a Honda Rebel 250. Looking for a big brother to it. A Honda Rebel 450.

Its been a while since I posted anything on this build, I actually haven't done very much due to being busy with customer projects but did manage to get the front end finished and trial fitted just before I had to close the shop.....

man, i had totally forgotten about this one! love that girder especially. finishing this chop alone is enough impetus to get well quickly!

that's gonna be one fun ride, i'm sure. we'll be waiting patiently to see the outcome of this one.
