This Classic Shovelhead Chopper is Classy as Hell
By Robert Bacon

Is this the best 'side project' you've ever seen?

 

Some of it good, the rest, Yeech ( Mad Magazine quote),Don't like wrapped pipes, The style and positioning of the fuel tank, maybe the round thing behind the kicker...oil filter OK..electric start? not OK

 

iam an apehangers and extended forks kinda guy

 

Bobber, not chopper.

 

Not even close

 

Agreed, but I do like it....... minus the starter.

 

ok some basic explain - both of the knuckels were built by 2 younger guys who had me school them on how to do the engines and gear boxes, as we did them together - the first one has been running 3 years and the other was last winter - both guys did a great job and used the shop experience in some of the things that came up glad we were able to help

this is what is cool in todays thing - that one looks store bought

 

the front down tube on the first bike is interesting.....i bet there is a story there
