Chopper
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.

Re: Chopper
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.

Re: Chopper
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!
