This purple one is it. raked fxr or fxs. I forget which one has this type of swingarm. frisco'd tank with some wacky drapery paint job. Mobtown and low side syndicate bikes are the best around!

bringing this back to the top.

the first bike pictured I think is outstanding. they even used a old Volkswagen 2 barrel carb on the thing. I think these are real choppers. I know that subjective but.... there was another area with all the new bikes and choppers. didn't look as good as this bike

It just seems that a slammed, kicked out, friscod, skinny tire style is where its at for me. All these other fat tired choppers look like they are lost when sitting next to this type of bike.

I am wondering what people are going to due because the fat tire scene has disappeared. So many vendors with no one going to them. I feel like telling them to try and build something else. but who am I. I have never built anything.



and another picture for the sake of amazingness. I wonder what the rake is on this bike

That purple bike is not an FXR-type frame. If anything, it may be based on the FX or FL series. Cant tell if was originally oem or custom.

I bet that thing handles like sin.

would this be the frame? what you think the rake is 40 degree maybe 36-37? really interested in getting a build going. maybe a good after market frame is what i should get in this style
