You might know Vegas Crew member ShortChop from this board or others around the Internet, but you may not have seen his bike. Bursting with details, his cone shovel is no cookie cutter hand-built deathtrap. We cornered ShortChop on a recent weekend and grabbed some details and photos.

Frame: 52 HD Wishbone rigid

Trans: 1972 with a Hurst Jockey shift

Fork: I was told it was a 66 stock harley wide glide with 2 under tubes. But my tripple trees have 3 1/2 riser space that would make the trees 1949-1959. So I dont Know Mix and match I guess.Oh ya Sexy shaved legs

Chassis mods: Nipped and Tucked

Tire/wheel size and style: Front 21" Akront high ridge wrap with avon tire. Rear 16" Borrani high ridge wrap in a Shinco dbl white wall. Star hubs front and rear.

Tank-Frisco sporty

Fender-1936 Ford.Spare.

Paint: French Kiss Kustoms

Bars: Speacial 79's his old bars off his Shovel.

Oil tank: Paugho with side filter

Air Cleaner: Chopper Daves

Headlight: King Bee Fog Light

Seat: Bates

Doodads: Nice Mids

Favorite thing about this bike: Its purty. But dont let Looks fool u ask anyone in Vegas its known for tearin up the Vegas Streets.

Next modification will be: Sissy Bar and some High up pipes

Thanks to:Builder-Sinners-Inc, And Metal Fab Bung King

Bought this chop from Victor owner of sinners inc. It was his pride and joy- his hard work his Ideas dont want to steal his tunder and glory. I have done some minor changes but the bike is the same. I just wrench on it myself and ride the crap out of it!

Why a California plate if it's a Nevada bike? Seems completely backwards to me. Other than that, sweet bike.

The bike is badazz!!! I'm really interested in how big of a bitch it is to run the throttle and clutch from the right side grip...

Really like the front tank mount, clean. The polish finish on those fork bottoms is impressive too!

That isn't the clutch on the right side grip. There is a throttle and a front brake. The clutch appears to be foot operated with the shifter up by the tank.

And the winner is h8ter!! (bout the clutch) About the CA lic plates, Nevada was giving me a hard time on the title. Its titled as a 52 HD, NV said NO. Cuz it has a 76 motor. So I keep the plates in Cali. But after finding a DMV guy in Vegas. I finally got my 52 HD title and NV plates.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words.
