The Chopper Compendium

Thanks...I can stay out there all hours of the night too cause it’s detached. Great idea about shelving between the studs.

I started on a mount for the brake caliper. Dont care for it to much, we'll see what it looks like after more cleaning up.
also redesigned the foot controls & got them mounted

I have been doing alot of home projects after another & hopefully last move. With the wife happy I was able to concentrate on getting my shop in order. I started in 1/2 of a 1 car garage, so its been a long time coming to have this kind of space to work in. Really happy the way it turned out. Ev...

I just got settled in after another move

Bike looks awesome man...hope it rides just as well

I still need to do some trim work on the seam. IMG_0132.jpg IMG_0133.jpg IMG_0134.jpg IMG_0135.jpg IMG...

While I was waiting for parts to come in to finish the brake mounts up. I made wheel spacers for the front. Thr rim & hub will be going to Buchanans this week for spokes

Brake side with the exception of making a few studs (decided to go with Curts advise & not make them from stainless) is basically done. Had a couple of set backs, the original rotor I planned to run didnt work out. Then I tried to mill round holes in the stock rotor....that wasnt happening eithe...
