Default Jesse James chopper

Hi, I am over in Ireland and have come across and nice chop that has been lying up a long time. I have brought it home and I think it is an original Jesse James due to a plate on it and detail and quality of the bits. She has a s&as engine and a jims gearbox. Just wondered if anyone knew how I might get it confirmed, she is a 2002
trying to up load few pics but won't let me at the min

You have a beautiful country. During our most recent Europe trip, we spent a few days in Dublin, mostly in the Temple Bar District. That's where we learned this song and the story behind it:

Takes some pictures and post to his Facebook or Instagram account. Someone there should be able to tell you. His website contact is another option, but I don't see an attachment option for you to post pictures.

Jessie sold thousands or his proprietary parts, frames etc. so the average "Joe" could build his own official/original Jessie James Chopper For Life (CFL). If there is a real original one of his builds you ain't gonna "discover" it. They're like Shelby Cobras. Folks knew what they were worth and they are all well documented. Only thing you could do is run the VIN numbers back to see where the bike was originally titled. You'd want to do that anyway because it isn't gonna have any extra value to you without documentation (like trying to bring in a fat Mexican girl in the trunk of your car at the border.......I've only heard).

I wouldn't be able to determine if it is a "real" Jesse James build or not, but I would still like to see some pictures. I am interested to see the condition you found this bike in.
