Why no Dyna choppers???
got enough done on the chop to give a small update. the frame is painted and ready for wiring and parts fab.
The tank had a dozen pin holes that are now airtight and filled. With the tank sealed up, it's time for bodywork and paint. The painter is saying a month so I'm planning on two, hopefully by the end of February.
mocked up the rear fender and drilled holes for the front sissy bar mount, this is the most assembled-looking it will be until the paint is done.
looking at different bar options I've decided to give the rabbit-style bars a try, but with more spread in the handgrips. This is a cut-up set of apes just to get a feel for the look.

That's the part I don't understand. Every Dyna has 2 into 1 pipes and T bars these days, two things that I absolutely cannot stand.
Not much but I really like how it turned out. I wanted to cut the ugly off the motor mount and still have a way to hang my ignition wire/ spark plug wire. Lots of ideas came and went, but I decided on the simple answer.

I like it. Simple, effective, inventive, and ingenius. Good work.
Nice. I cut the horn mount off mine and just left a small tab, drilled a hole in it, and ran a zip tie to secure the plug wire. This is way cooler.
