Default I'm going to build a chopper!

Another great day at the webster swap meet here in sunny ol'FLA. I'm getting closer and closer to being able to start my long bike project. I scored this compleatly un-used, un-plated 10 over Durfee front end! I'm collecting parts whenever I can. When I have everything in order I will do a motor swap but the plan now is to score a nice clean rubber mount frame and chop that baby...once I get the frame I can chop it, rake it, and stretch it to my specs. Still working on getting a frame...

My bonus score was this sweet *** belt buckle I scored at the swap too. made in 74 by HD...thing is HEAVY! lovin it!





remember my little lights, coffin tank and seat???


and my buckle

Hell yeah! There's a guy on qcb that has a Nightster he just did a frame swap on. He may sell his stock frame cheap...same as your frame.

Looks like a good start on parts, back in the 70's I built one with a coffin tank like that paneled off with iridescent paint inside the panels...
