In a bitter sweet turn of events the Street CHOPPER is getting finished. Unfortunatley it's heading out the door to it's new owner very shortly. Someone made an offer I couldn't refuse and it's been an all out thrash session getting her together over the past week.
Started with a +3 up +3 out Big Twin Rigid frame. Hacked all the motor mounts out and retro fitted new ones to hold an XS650 lump. The HD style neck was cut out and replaced with one sized for the R1 front end. While I was at it the rake was brought in for more respectable handling. From 38* now at 27* and also brought the frame in 1". Rear wheel is from a ZX7. Tank is an unknown 70's era dirtbike tank that's been modified.
Still a bit of fit and finish to do, but it's gona fire up for the first time tomorrow. Get some video of it when it finally breaths fire.
