chopped and stretched stock FXSTBI frame

[seven6twomm]

Im interested in modifying my stock HD FXSTBI softail frame and turning it into a chopper. Does anybody know of a good shop that can cut and stretch a frame? I live in the Pittsburgh, PA area. I love my Night Train and think it would be awesome to have a Night Train chopper. Are there any problems to look out for when modifing a frame? I dont want the rake and stretch to be to extreme, something around 38-40 degrees with an appropriate stretch. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Kewl site!! Thanks!. The one they built there looks really mean!

Are they building this for Shaq? It's HUGE!

[seven6twomm]

Yeah, its a little bit too big for what I want. Something in the middle would be alright.

Agree...too big.

For my taste, I like mildly chopped bikes. Not sure of the numbers but probably only a couple of inches out and up. The kind of stuff you see in the Horse.

You can always just get some higher angle tripple trees. Unless you lower the bike, you may need longer forks to make up for the angle also. I thought about this for some more rake.
