Default Big Bear Choppers
Wonder if they will offer them to the people whose money they took when they closed their doors and left the buyers hanging out to dry with no refunds and no bike...
It's not a bad looking bike but I be damned if I'd buy one from a known crook.

My thoughts exactly. Rip people off, run away, file bankruptcy and then start the game all over again.

Upon reading the article I saw they mentioned they put a 180 rear tire with out changing the bikes geometry by simply putting a bigger offset chain sprocket and then widened the fender struts. There is no way they did this mod without replacing the swing arm. I am running a 180 on my fxr but I used a chopper guys 180 swing arm (with a 3in extension to keep the front end down). Simply there is no way to put the 180 without a wider swing arm. Either way I would enjoy this bike if it sells well I hope this will help revive the FXR fan base and allow more bikes like this to be built.

Nice looking ride! Hard to feel compelled to put money down on one given the Alsops history...I guess time will tell if they make a comeback.

Looks nice but his cheapest bike is over $30k.

That front end IS for sale and has been for a long time. Hit up Howard at Motorcyclemetal and be prepared to get a second mortgage.

Nice components on that bike.
Shocks, forks, brakes, controls, engine (evo), exhaust is really nice IMO...
I would like to know what size wheels those are, they both look to be the same size.
17, 18???
If anyone has any insight please chime.
