RE: AME Chopper kit

i had the kit on my old sporty, if i had it to do over again i would probably pass on it. yeah it turned alot of heads, but in the end it still fell short of a real chop. besides i am so tired of seeing long raked out front ends, i think that look is about as played out as OCC. save your money and think of something more creative to spend your time and money on. i am not trying to be hater, im just giving my honest opinion.

My bike has the whole late 60's early 70's thing going on, and I thought a ridiculously raked out front end would complete the look. I appreciate the input tho.

tree, with your long risers, it looks like probably an issue. Maybe dog bone risers? The day long raked bikes are over with will be when bike quit rolling. The classic chop look will NEVER die. For me and many others the classic chop is it.

RE: AME Chopper kit

I am probably gonna go with some pullback risers, mounted backwards. Sounds dumb, but looks good on bikes with ridiculous rake.

10 over is about the max on a 14 degree kit.
Maybe longer on an 18 degree one.
They look a little strange to me.

forgot I even posted this- was looking for info on doing this (again) and ran into this thread. If any of yall have one of these installed with a tank lift- is there any way you can post a pic if the tank/upper triple tree with the steering @ full lock?
