Got a badass ride, post it up. Cars, trucks, bikes, trikes, whatever rolls or flies.

Chopper

Post by Bigcat » Mon Mar 26, 2012 8:17 pm

I have been working on this vintage 70,s chopper....replaced the old wornout front forks with the frontend of a Honda CR500 motocross bike, it is very heavy duty and 5" longer...used the wheel and front brakes from the CR as well, just installed a street tire... replaced the 4 carbs with a Custom dual carb Mikuni setup...A new set of chrome drag pipes too.....it's SOHC 750 with an 836 kit in it, Not sure who made the frame, possibly Amen ?...Just did a complete rewire an it and a new set of handlebars and controls....working all the mechanical issues out , then I plan to tear it down for a repaint, Maybe digital Camo????

Very nice, I don't know about digi camo but I like it the way it is! Don't see any blemishes from the picture.

looks nice- one comment/suggestion- hack off that 'lip' at the end of the rear fender...it messes with the 'flow'

That's part of the 70's look, it is the flow!

Good choice on the Mikuni's. Had a buddy that used them on his race jet skis and almost used a set on my AutoX rx-7.

Still looks great IMO! Got to do a donor swap on a carb'd Honda bike for a guy a couple months ago. Definitely a fun little thing to get running, his was water cooled though which was a PITA!
