Evo project

Thats looking real nice.At first I thought you were going to build one of those look-to-the-sky, too long front end with no rake or stretch... But that is coming together great! Geometry looks real good. Thanks for building a proper chopper (meaning frame parallel to the ground).

I love those sketchy bikes. But i think in that style of bike the shovelhead engine or older looks way nicer than the evo.

Got a Thunderheader, i always liked the look and sound of that exhaust.

I dont like the bends on it, the pipes is like 2 inch out from the bike, dont look good.



Bought a pipe kit from TC Bros, just a rough idea and it is just tacked but i think it flows way better.

Bought a cheap sportster fairing from Amazon to see how it looks, like the lines



Yes let the fairing hate flow through you

I dunno? It's different..

Different can be hard with choppers.

You look at them long enough and they all become the same bike.

It’s like going to a titty-bar and the dancer has an astronaut helmet on but you do you man.

I do however really like the lines of the build itself. Everything looks very well layed out, solid work man.

Thought the bike looked a little heavy in the back with the 16" rear. Changed to a 18" and i think it looks much better.

Couldn't get the trail right with the 0 degree sportster tripple tree so i bought a adjustible rake tree from Twinside cycles in Italy, adjustible from -1 to +10 degrees.


Ditched the fender struts and put on a small sissy bar to mount the license plate and lights. Nice to be able to strap a bag to it on long runs.

Here is how it sits with +5 degree rake

I think it looks bitchin!

Looks like you lost the fairing. 1 note on how the fairing looked. I think a fairing that wrapped around the fork/trees would lessen the odd look of just a headlight surround.

Exhaust looks really good.

Yes i had to ditch the fairing when i changed tripple tree. Im planning to run an eye brow on it but the i have to weld bungs to the tree to mount it but that is no priority for now.
