The Chopper Compendium

It not what you may be thinking. Religon has nothing to do with this name.The unholy is cause I've recieved some shit for what has been called blasphemy choppin my rocket.(little did they know it was already chopped when I got it)And the virgin....well its my 1st build......so anyway as you may or may not know....or even care...this is what my bike looked like when I got it......

This is how it sits now

Ihad gotten the frame powdercoated by a friend & his buddy & I'm not thrilled with the results.But I'll live with it.If nothing else I got my justification to build my own oven that will hold a frame

Hi jeff, real cool man looks good to me. When people complain it is because they are usually jealous they do not have the talent to build one themselves or are just jerks to begin with. Build what you want and like enough said.

real nice

thanks....some of the welds I blended in I think were hit when they put it in their blast cabinet.Also in certain places the JB weld shows through the powder (that wasn't thier fault though) talking to a couple people they said it might be because the color is so light.I should have had them prime it.They did go to heavy so there are some runs.....but like I said I'll live with it.Hopefully when its all together might not be so noticable.

That is just so sweet dude

No-one should criticise you for chopping an old rocket when you've done such a fine job of it It does make a chnage to see one chopped properly instead of the usual half-done restoration jobs that folks insist on doing......

Stick with Jeff - can't wait to see it finished and being ridden on the road.......

Maz xx

if the pics so far are any indication all the blemishes will be hidden well and besides a rider is never perfect

Very Nice that, Jeff...

Jeff, nothing gets attention like a chopped limey triple, looking good stay after it!

Looking good Jeff.

I _REALLY_ like that color!

Good lookin scoot Jeff. Don"t worry about what others think. That's what choppin is all about, individuality. Personally I think to leave a bike alone and not modify it to your taste is blasphemy!

NICE WORK!

Thanks for the comments...I'll be gettin back to the build shortly.I've been spending as much time as possible on the beach untill the fall run shuts down.

put it together, ride it for years, and then whenever the time comes for a tear-down for whatever reason, that's the time to do something about anything you don't like. i love the color too. i can just see that with other bare metal bits - aluminum, brass, etc.
