Here's what I'm working on now. The The frame is 80% scratchbuilt. Inspiration is 50% "American Chopper", 50% Twisted Nightmare. :devil:

That is very cool. It's the first time I've ever seen a chopper on this forum.

Now that's custom work. Where are the wheels coming from? Looking forward to seeing more on this bike.

Well, the wheels and tires are what I'm stuck on. It is based on a 1:9 scale Imex FLSTF "Fat Boy" and the front tire is the same size as the rear tire. I do plan to use the kit rear tire.

Sidewinder, this might be a bit extreme of a piece to use, but I think there's a 1:10th or so kit out there of a Schwinn bicycle.

That's a possible front, maybe.

:iagree:
But I can't find one. I'm already going to have to scrachbuild a narrow front tire, but I have no idea yet how to go about doing so. :dunno:

You could always rob a wheel set off a Muscle Machines Jesse James Chopper....

Sounds cool!! Where can I find them? What scale do they come in? How much do they cost? :eek: Where can I find pics of these Muscle Machines?

The West Coast Choppers are 1/18 scale. They are too small for what you are building. Here is a link to some pictures. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3559531691&category=45348
