Due to laws down unda im looking for some inspiration to prove swingarm chops aint so bad!

Post pics any style that show how cool and simple swingarm chops can be!

Here's mine.Ain't sure if it's a "chopper".It HAS been chopped on for almost 4 decades though.

Garage Company Customs built "Astroglide". I've seen this bike in person and it's pretty awesome.

I'll show you the ass of the X after cutting the rear shirt off - gaps above and alongside - really has me hamstrung - might make a filler plate of brass etching with an old hendy logo but even that might look shitty/schwag

From what I can gather it's a heavily chopped 81 Sturgis frame with asian tractor tires on Cragar mags that have been sliced and welded together so both sides look the same.
