Chopper Update...

Yea, so we finally have a rideable bike!! Here are some specs:
- 10 feet long exactly
- NICE cushy seat
- Built with 1.5 inch, .095 wall tubing and my MillerMatic 100v welder
- Forks are 5 foot, four inches, fork ends to handlebars is exactly 6 feet
- Chain ended up being 7 feet long, 3.5 each way lol
- It is going O.D. green and black, making it Army style
- It is harder than HELL to steer :laugh2:

Riding it around today bent the forks a bit, so I am going to add a 1/4" plate to the top of them where the GOOD tubing meets the old, regular forks. Other than that, this bike has given me no guff. Enjoy, I'll post more pics when it's painted and stuff

how much does it weigh? Looks like she might be a bit on the hefty side. I still dig it though.....

Skwerly · Mar 31, 2008

We haven't weighed it yet officially, but it seems to be in the 60lb range.....

repost!

I already recommended that in the first chopper party thread. Skwerly, you should add some cool dimpled gussets along the forks for reinforcement and with it being OD green, it would be cool looking like a tank

Skwerly, that chopper is sweet! let me know on the next build? maybe, you can sell these at the beach would be a rad thing in the block.

cap the ends off on the front forks with flat stock ground down to a disc, and ship it to me so i can get it powdercoated :cheers:

The only problem with the update is there's no beer or pictures of the drunken haze trying to finish it.
Looks good dude when we gonna start the next one?
