Whats up guys. My name is Chris and I'm into building choppers(the full sized ones LOL). I came across this rusty old frame from a friend of my kids. I have no idea what brand it is. If anyone knows, let me know. This is what it looked like when I brought it home.
and this about two minutes after getting it into my shop.
This pic is after mocking everything up and going for a test spin around the yard
And this is what I ended up with. I streched the frame four inches and widened it enough to accomidate the wide rear tire. Reworked the handlebars and lowered the bike about four inches. Made a new motor mount plate. Fabbed up a cool "jockey" hand brake for it. Put on a pair of fold up footpegs from the stashpile. The fuel tank is made from a fire extiguisher. The motor was in a box in pieces from a neighborhood kid that decided it would be fun to tear it down to see what made it work. Apparently putting it back together wasn't gonna be as much fun and when he learned of my project, he gladly donated to the cause along with the torque converter, seat, throttle cable and the cool little chrome breather which made an adapter to make it work on the carb. Sandblasted it, flat black paint and the required "moon eyes" sticker and she's ready to roll. I spent two weeks on this build from start to finish.
