Great job, that blue worked out nice for you, as well as the new rear fender.

Do me a solid, run that throttle cable internally in the handle bars, please!!!

Bike looks great!!!

Well, i should preface my answer with some details:

- i made a lot of mistakes
- this was my first chop

So with that in mind i’d say i spent about $3k. Knowing what i know now i think i could do it a LOT cheaper and i would probably look for an 95 - 03 to chop. Rubber mount looks good, but it could be better. Either way, it’s my bike and i’m happy with how it’s turning out (not done yet! hahaha). it rides great, sounds killer and looks the part.

Yes I prefer the side mount also, but the bike looks great anyway you mount it

Side plates are everywhere, I like the center mount. Same but different.
