Default Just finished Chopped Bagger

Just finished building this Electra Glide Chopper. I stretched, raked, lowered, and widened the frame. I built new bags, side covers, tank and inner farring, and front and rear fenders. Any and all comments would be appreciated.

First of all, you have A LOT of talent & skills. Very impressive.

Having said that, the STYLE of the bike doesn't really impress me. I'm sick of the long-forks.

BUT...the time, talent and planning you put in the project really are something. Keep working on it!

Looks like you put your heart into to it and it's creative, but for me I'm not a fan. Looks like a Victory, Harley and Big Dog had a threesome and this is the off spring.

Seriously, that's not a rip on you or what you created, but the end product is not something that appeals to me.

Put a lot of skill, time and effort into it , lot to be proud of.

For comments, I dig the stance , the strech and the rake, the flow of the tank to the side panels and the a paint.

If it was mine - items I would adjust would be.

Move the headlight and the fairing up on the trplie clamps a few inches to give the front fairing more of a flowing line.

Drop the frame rails under the seat to give more depth and come up with a new seat, it's not flowing with the tank side panels rear fender as much as it could.

The rear of the bags and the way the insides sit up to the rear fender are good lines, the front of the bags I would reshape to get a better flow.

imho - you did great work here and a lot of it, so please do not take any of my comments as mean spirited.
