The Chopper Compendium

Does anybody know somewhere that is already producing "leg spuds". I hope that is what they are called. It is the bottom part that is machined to attach the legs to the rockers. I have seen several people just use round stock welded perpendicular to the legs, I think Curt did his this way. I like the looks better of the spuds but I dont have a mill or lathe.

Thanks

if ya find em let me kno im thinkin of changeing mine

Yeah I have talked with and crime scene Choppers with no luck. Pearson is to busy with builds and crime scene didn't really give a reason just that they weren't making them any more.

Curt, I would be interested in hearing why you want to change yours. Is it a looks thing or do you think the spuds would be better?

the handbook is making some to be for sale i believe.

the rim i used is much wider than a stock hub and wont let me fit a brake rotor with the setup i used the spuds would recess the hardware so i can put brakes on .i like u didnt have axcess to a mill at the time either so i made it the way i have it but would be fine if i wasnt running the rim that i am

This is interesting, any more information?

Sent MechWerks a PM and will see if he answers.... has anyone asked BigJim...?

Hi guys, it would be real cool to be able to buy the leg spuds from someone who can make them. Still working on my springer build and will need some spuds also, some of us do not have a lathe or no how to use one to make them.

Curt, have you considered turning the basic shape on your lathe, then setting the lathe to do milling for the finish up. Not sure what all is involved but
have seen it done. The slide travel is shorter than on a true milling machine but should handle what needs be done for the flats.

i have a mill now i have made some to use but havent had time to put em in yet

Curt if you can make them and are willing to cut up another set let me know. I can send you the specs for the tubing I am using. I have some old Finch legs that I am going to use. Let me know

send me the specs it might be a lil while but i will do em for ya i havent had time to build a radius tool yet so the bottom wont be rounded off ill post pics of mine tomorrow so u can see if u like em

I will try to get the measurements tonight of the rear legs. I know the OD is 1 1/4" not sure of ID though. I would love to see what you came up with for yours.
