Starting my Chopper Build

Gotcha on the plunger. Now that I've put thought it in, it does seem unstable. Nice for straight bumpy roads, horrible in corners. Looks cool and the way you're going about it should turn out tits. Carbs always need to be gone through. No biggie. Simplify The electrical as much as possible. You'll appreciate it later. Thanks for all the updates, I'm sure people are watching even I'd they aren't commenting. Lol.

Yeah, "Simple" works best for my simple minded brain! lol!

I'm not going to be going with the stock Honda coils, or the popular Dyna S coils. Gettin old style can coils (same ones used on HD Big Twins/Sportsters). They're stone cold reliable, and about a 1/3 the price of the SOHC coils.

I should be getting the wheels this week, and getting into the shop to start fabbing the missing parts from the girder.

cant wait to see it. That girder is gnarley

Yeah, and I think it will have a balanced look with the plungers on the back end, and those tear drop girders on the front......

Dental woes have knocked me down for a few days.

Hopefully, I'll be back in the garage this weekend.....

It's been a while since I updated the thread.......

Botched the paint on the final wet sand: Wasnt paying close enough attention, and a washer fell into my work area and boogered up the side of my tank. Chipped the paint all the way down to bare metal!

So I've sanded down the tank again, and ready to re-shoot it this weekend.

The coil packs are toast, so I'm saving up to buy some harley style (big twin/sportster) 5 ohm coils.

Getting ready to rebuild the carbs.

So a couple steps forward, and one back.

Gotta pick up the pace and start making some more progress on this build. I WANNA RIDE!!!!!

Oh, and I'm still waiting on my wheels. My buddy that has em, just suffered a heart attack. He's gonna recover completely, and be better now (angioplasty), but I dont wanna rush him.

can't wait to see your amazing handcraft bike browww..
