    I really like your chopper, except the bars, they look a bit out of proportion

      I'M BACK. So basically the bike is done, other than the fact it won't turn over. gotta look into that today, probably something to do with the fact that I wired it wrong and it might not be getting spark? Hopefully something simple.

        This thing is awesome for a first build. I hope my "build" goes this well.

          Damn that front end really makes the bike. Great job on the build.

            Been a hot minute since I've posted on here but I "finished" the bike a while ago and have been rippin it. Since my electrical issues, caused by a variety of things, I got help from my friend to help me rewire the bike again (much cleaner this time), along with this I've replaced the coil pack and ignition with dynatech modules, and I did a complete charging system on the bike.

            Few pictures I had from doing the charging system

              I'm constantly swapping between these mini Z's and my regular bars

                over the winter I plan on swapping in some 6 over tubes and changing out my mini drum for a spool wheel, along with a few other bits and things. Will post more when I have more. In the meantime here a few photos of me doing dumb stuff on it.

                  I'm pretty goddam bored with this shitty new England weather, so I figure I'd mention how I broke the sprocket cover I'd trimmed up previously. Basically the brake lever and peg mount into the sprocket cover and I trimmed it too close to the mount when I was making it. As a result, when I was on my way home from a car show in Boston, right when I got out of the tunnels there were some construction bumps on the highway and I snapped my brake side peg mount. It was still on the bike but I couldn't put any pressure on it or the brake without the entire thing flexing off. So it short I rode home in the dark with no brakes, just downshifting to slow down, trying to keep clear of everyone else. Lucky me I was wearing some good shoes. :0

                  I plan on trimming my new one a little smarter than I did my first, along with that my new one is made out of steel while the old one was aluminum.

                      I did the same thing the first time I cut down a sprocket cover and broke my shit jumping a cattle guard. Nothing like coming to a Flintstone stop at 45MPH.

                      Killer thread. Bike is looking great.

                        Great looking scoot, good work! Love me some shotguns too!
                        One thing if I may... If you put a 6-over front end on it, please rake the frame... Your bike sits real nice right now.

                          You can buy another zero fitting if you want. Not a problem.

                            I had no plans to rake the frame for the 6 overs, but I think these frames hardtailed have a decent stance with the 6s, anymore and I think they start to look funny.
