Choppers and such

[Lightnin]

FYI-
This section of the forum is for custom bikes and choppers of the like.
To name a few:
American Ironhorse
Big Dog
Texas Choppers
Bourget
West Coast Choppers
Orange County Choppers
Billy Lane
Indian Larry
David Perewitz
Yaffe Customs
Arlen Ness
Exile Choppers
Indy Choppers
and more......

This is also for old school choppers from the day. Share tips & tricks to help each other get your chopper look that you want or talk about modern customs or turn your late model stock bike into a chopper.

Excellent new forum, Lightin!

Here's the kind of stuff they're building at Furious Cycles in Fort Wayne - best thing about it is the paint, hard to see the details from these pics but that vertebrae and bones theme is throughout the paint, very deep and very gorgeous.

what kind of engine are they putting in at Furious? I've considered going there just to check em out for a day trip.

I THINK the bike above has an S&S, but can't swear to it. The Furious guys say that they can build you whatever you want ...

Give a shout if you decide to check out their shop, I'll meet you there ...

Actually you know, that could be a pretty cool section of the CHOPPER Talk forum - reviews/pictures of visits to custom builders' shops.

I think Exile's Bulldozer is cool

Lightnin...

If I was gonna chop that sporty just a bit... I would do a two inch tank lift and remove the 100th graphic as was shown in another thread today. Two easy things to do that would give you a pretty cool look. Maybe later you could get a new triple tree and rake it out a few degrees more... with the tank lift providing some additional air over the rocker covers it would look great IMHO.

I'm going to go to a wide glide front end after I sell my bagger, put on some Hallcraft fat spokes on the front and rear. I have yet to see a tank lift on a late model sporty to determine whether i like it or not. I'm keeping the paint stock for now until I'm all but forced to change it (which would take a major dent/ding). I might have a tall sissy bar put on as well.

EXCELLENT addition to the forum!!! Now I just need to figure out how to come up with the green backs to build one........Like they say, dreams do come true, I hope.

Man, I think Exile bikes are the most bad ass bikes, I just love the style and brushes satin steel look.......Just too damn cool!

I agree, but they are kind of spendy ($$$$). I think they want $28K for that bulldozer.

Uh Lightnin'...couldn't help but notice your comments about possibly adding some Hallcraft wheels to your Sporty. Have you seen this post by David Price ? Scroll down to the 8th post to see the news here :http://www.harleydavidsonforum.com/f...ight=hallcraft

Do whatever floats your boat...just passing along some important info.

Breeliz,

Tank lift sounds like a cool idea. I have a superglide that I'm currently lowering the suspension on. I'll temporarily lift the tank just to see how that looks. It may have a cool contrasting effect.

How would I permanently lift the tank? Fabricate spacers?
