Owning a "store-bought Chopper " is like the guy that bought a print of a Rembrandt.
He sets it up on the easel, gets out his paints, puts on an apron and brush.
He stands there in the glory of the morning sun on the corner, and passers-by look at awe and wonder thinking he is the artist at work.
A great one!
All the while he knows he is a fking fake and could not tell anyone what a decent canvas looks like much less even paint a hair as good as Rembrandt did.
If you own a store-bought Chop, you are a counterfeit poser, like the wannabee artist above,
You dont have a clue about the soul of the vehicle you attempt to sit your **** on.
You could not even Thread a blind hole.
Accept the fact you are a full-blown plastic poser.
WITH NO CLUES.

Harley should add a real chopper to the lineup. I'm talking a serious long wheel base with the new 114 engine. I would buy one for sure and I think it would sell well.
If Honda can sell enough Furys to make them as long as they have a Harley chopper would surely be successful enough to make it worth while.
Thoughts?

Even if I welded up my own frame from tubing, and I'll get around to doing that someday, I wouldn't call myself a biker. Never really cared about labels or measuring up to the standards of others.
Speaking of.....where does one get drawings or CAD files for frames. I have yet to find anything very useful. I've toyed with the idea of a rigid rubber mounted frame with an Evo touring drive train.

So at what fork length does someone have to build their own to get the precious approval of the "chopper riders build their own group".
When I see a bike like the wideglide on the showroom floor, do I need to measure the fork length. Oh No!! The forks are too long, I need to go home and make this. Come on!!
And for those who will say a true chopper is where you chop the frame- blah blah blah. I hear ya!! Maybe I used the wrong wording and should have said "Harley should come out with a bike with extremely long forks".

No desire to spend hundreds if not thousands of hours building a bike. I have other hobby's that I prefer to spend my free time on. Does that mean I can't have a bike with long forks? I think not. To some I would be a poser, but to me I would just be riding a bike with long forks that I enjoy. And to the frowned faced onlookers.

So put some long forks on your tricycle, start a trend.
Factory will never make a serious long bike as been said several times it's a liability issue their legal department won't touch.
