Chopper Bike Project 1

Im really excited about this. I got to work today on my first Chopper Bike. My plans were not very big since i wanted this to be a fun little cruising bike. I started with taking everything off, cuting tubing and bending angle for Chopper effect. The rest was pretty much making stuff out of what i had (handlebars) I plan to do ALOT more to to this bike so this thread will be active because im not stopping untill i finish this bike the way i want it

Now for the pics
(Please remember this bike is still in the rough, 1st stage done, still alot more)

Yehaw.. Ive showed my brother i wasnt joking about making a chopper so now he is on my side. This means that this weekend we are going to transform it into a REAL bike chopper, with a huge rake, nice angle and everything! Stand by for pics :D

Lower it about 3-4 inches and it'll look bitchin' :cool:

keep up tha good work mate!

On the next bike you should try a straight downtube from the front of the frame to the rear wheel mount, and lengthen the front forks so you can increase the rake a little more. With the straight down tube you can also lower the seat a good 6" And get a little 12" rim for the front wheel :smokin:

I totaly dig the big ape hangers your bike though.

lookin good man.
there is a guy around here who did that, went all out. he actualy put a gas tank on the bike, tripped out the first time i saw it.
